ADMISSION OF EVIDENCE.
Question of Using Judge Swayne's
Statement Debated by the Senate.

An executive session Of the Senate yes
terday afternoon was devoted to the con-
sideration of the legal question concerning
the admissibility of evidence offered by
the House managers in the Swayne case.
The point was discussed by Senators Bailey,
Bacon, Spooner, Foraker, McCumber and
Morgan. No conclusion was reached, and
at $50 the Senate adjourned until today at
II o'clock.
Two hours and half were spent behind
closed doors considering the admissibility
of a statement made by Judge Swayne be-
fore a committee of the House of Represen-
tatives The point was argued at length by
a number of the lawyers Of the Senate. 1t
involved construction OF the statute of 1862
which provides that a statement made by
witness called before a congressional
committee cannot be used against him In
a criminal proceeding in a court.
Senators favoring the admfssibility of the
statement as a rule, eohtended that the
impeachment proceedings Sare not criminal
in character, and that the Senate sitting
for the trial Of Judge Swayne is not a
court in the sense in which that word Is
used in the statute Mr.. Bailey presented
this view at length. Mr.. Spooner, who
agreed with him as to the admissibility Of
the statement, took issue with him on the
points mentioned, but based his plea on
the fact that Judge Swayne had appeared
volunta rily before the House committee
arguing that in doing so he removed him
self from the protection of-the law
On the other hand Messrs. Foraker and
McCumber contended that the statute is, SO
broad in scope as to apply to all witnesses.
They said its principal purpose was to pro-
tect witnesses against the, sense of fear in
giving testimony before congressional COM
mittees.
Mr. Bacon, who had previously voted
against the admissibilty Of the Swayne
statement, yesterday spoke In support Of
it's acceptance, saying that an examination
of the statutes had convinced him of his
error on the previous occasion. Mr.. Clark
Of Arkansas was speaking when the Senate
took recess until IL o'clock today, with
the intention of proceeding with the case
Immediately on converting. Only two wit
nesses were examined, and when they
were excused the House managers an
nounced that they would close their case
with the testimony of one more witness,
who has not arrived in the city.

supreme court by Thos. O'ConnOr of Water
ford N. Y. stakeholder, to compel the
restoration Of more than $1O.000OOO stock
of the Virginia Passenger and Power Com
pany and 100000 OF its bonds. The bonds

Mr.. Gould and his sister for an Insignificant
consideration. With Mr.. and Miss Gould
the Virginia Passenger and Power Com
pany and the Atlantic Development Com
pany are named as defendants
The suit came up for argument before
Justice Kellogg in the supreme court yes
today upon demurrer of Mr.. Gould and
Miss Helen Gould. O'Connor AYERS that in
December, 1902, the Goulds obtained con-
troll of the two corporations, and that there
after they abrogated contracts for the sale
of 80, 10000 of the companys stock through
the development company at 80 per cent.
The plaintiff charges that the Goulds, by
collusion and fraud, obtained nearly all the

Wireless Connection to Be Made.

1t is now proposed to fit lightships Nos.
II and 72, which do duty on the dangerous
Diamond shoals on the coast of North Car
DINA, with wireless telegraph outfits, and
before No. Il, which is now at BaltimcEe,
returns to the station, it is more than prob
able she will have an outfit aboard with
experts to run it.
The installation of wireless telegraphy
aboard the lightships is a part of the strateg-
ical scheme of the Navy Department to
connect the entire Atlantic coast by wire
less telegraphy. Experts from the depart
ment here have recently visited the ship to
see what changes are necessary in the
dynamo, masts and other equipment to fit
her out for wireless service. The wireless
service aboard the lightships on the Dia-
mond shoals would be valuable, as quick
notice could then be given of vessels in dis
tress and quick succor could reach
them When No. II takes her place on
the station No. ~. now on the shoal, will
come to Baltimore and she will be equipped
with the wireless outfit Communication
with the shore can be made to Cape Hat
teras, to Beaufort, N. c., or to Norfolk, at
which points the navy now has wireless sta
TONS
The result Of these experiments will be
watched with interest and may be unver-
sally adopted.

Settles Differences officers Reflected

The meeting of the directors of the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society, held in New
York yesterday afternoon to choose new
officers and consider the petitions for the
retirement of First Vice President James
Hazen Hyde and the naturalization of the
company, resulted In the reelection Of the
old officers and a decision to grant to the

James w. Alexander, who headed the
movement against Mr.. Hyde, was again
chosen president. Mr.. Hyde, who controls
a majority Of the stock, remains vice pres
ident and is chairman of the executive
committee and the finance committee.
The expectation of the Alexander party
that Mr.. Hyde would be deposed was not
realized, nor was the statement of some
Hyde adherents that Mr.. Alexander would
fail Of reelection made good.
AS was expected, the Hyde interests re-
main in practical control, for the execu-
tive committee chosen is made up of seven
Hyde men to five Alexander men. The fl
nance committee has eight Hyde men to
five Alexander men. The committees have
the same personnel, except that Jacob H.
Schif Is on the finance committee.
None Of the officers directors would
comment on the days work or future pos
sbilities. AS they passed out Of the d.
rectors' room their replies to questions
were either Nothing to say or Every
thing is harmonious"

the White Star liner Majestic. He has been
organizing an expedition for the relief of
