Equitable Life Officers Say Hyde
Must Go.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Unless James
II. Hyde, vice president of the Equitable
Life Assurance society, consents TO re-
linquish the controlling Influence there
in, thirty-four heads of the various de-
partments, including the president.
James w. Alexander and all the vice
presidents with the exception of Mr..
Hyde and the fourth vice president, w.
IL. Mcintyre, may withdraw from the
company, leaving the vast and intricate
workings of its business to subordi-
Mates
Many OF the men who threaten to
leave were appointed by Henry b.
Hyde when he founded the society In
1859 and have been with it ever since
Now they have served notice on the son
Of their old leader that he must relin-
quish all active participation in the or
ganization or face the loss of all the
men of influence in it.
When ii Is remembered that the
Equitable holds assets of $4TS,000,0 900,
with half a million policy holders, the
magnitude of the war which threatens
to disrupt its working force is seen. The
men who are fighting the Hyde infiu-
ence say that the acts of the young
man himself have been prejudicial to
the welfare of the company and have
tended to cause disquiet.
One of the things brought up against
Mr.. Hyde is his recent fancy dress
ball, which was alleged by the newspa-
pers TO have cost 100000.

Bristol Tenn, November 27.-At a mass meeting here tonight of citizens at tl.e opera house to protest against the mas saere of the Jews in Russia, letter re- ceived by one of the prominent Jewish merchants of the city from one abroad in Odessa was read. It was dated Odessa, October 24. and is in part as follows:

 Right at the time young man dressed in the uniform of a high college scholar ran up and was protesting against this barbarian, when four or five Russians jumped on him. knocked him down and had great big knife stabbed in nis stom ach and split him in two, and there was a lot of maccaroni lying on the street which came from the grocery. and while still alive they tore out his entrals and him there, and they were just running from one house to another breaking win- dows.

 Desperate Break for
 Liberty.

Jefferson City, Mo-, N vomber 27.A conn plete confession was made to Warden Hall of the state penitentary tonight by George Ryan, one of the convicts recap tured after his escape from the peniten- tiary last Friday in company with three other convicts, during which three men were killed and several wounded regard ing the manner in which the convicts se- cured arms and ammunition and the nitro gycerine with which they blew up the large wagon gate in the outer wall of the prison
 Ryan voluntarily sent for the warden to- night. In his confession he implicated H. E. Spencer, who was discharged from the penitentiary in November. Ryans story of the plot to escape was shown to Con vict Raymond, another member of the party that made the break for liberty, and he confirmed the details.
 Ryan told the warden that Spencer agreed to furnish the guns and niso- glycerine which was used to blow the hole In the stockade. He was to purchase the guns in Kansas City with $40 which they gave him and then go to Carthage, Mo, and steal dynamite and nitro- glycerine from the mines there.
 Outsider Furnished Ammunition.
 These were to be brought here last Monday night and taken up in the stock ade, which is not guarded at night. He then was to let himself down on a rope inside and take the material and place it under the bench which Vaughan used in the factory. Spencer was then to climb back over the wall and make his es- cape.
 Nothing was heard from him, but Thursday morning the supplies were found no mOnid thpm Thursday afternoon and night the pris- oners held q consultation and decided to capture Deputy Warden See. Yardmas- ter Porter Gilvin and Deputy Yardmaster Frank Moore and make them open the gates and let them out, or they would blow their way out.

 They called for some one to open the gate. and when Captain Allison appeared with hts gun they killed him. They then blew open the gate and made their es- cape.

MRS, ROGERS MUST SUFFER FOR CRIME Supreme Court AfRrms De- cision of Vermont Court BELL WILL NOT INTERFERE December 8 Is the Date That Has Been Set for Execution of the Vermont
 Woman Who Killed
 Her Husband.
BELL WILL NOT INTERFERE

Washington, November 27.--The supreme court of the United States today affirmed the decision of the United States district court of Vermont in the case of Mrs. Mary Mable Rogers, who is under sem tence of death in Vermont for the mur- der of her husband. The effect of the decision will be to again place the re- sponsibility of dealing with the case in the hands of the state authorities and If in the state courts take action in Mrs. Rogers behalf, her execution must occur on the day, which is December next.
 The court held in effect that it was without jurisdiction in all the points raised.
 In his opinion Justice Day laid no stress upon the sex of Mrs Rogers, but dealt with the case upon purely legal grounds. Reciting the proceedings in the case, he took up the various contentious made in the woman's behalf, holding each in turn to be ineffective
 On the point that Mrs. Rogers has been held in solitary confinement for more than three HloHthS hc shiu 'iiN ASSS- does not show that she is so held, though admittedly held in close confinement. This course was, he said, within the rights of the state and could not be used as ground for interference by the federal court. He also said that the state supreme court could not be required to fix a time for execution; that whether the state supreme court should sit in Bennington county Is a matter of state practice only and also that there is no contention that fixing date for execution when granting a re- prieve is a violation of the federal stat 1Ites

ENGLISH PARTY
 BREACH W|DENS Lord Roseberry Repudiates Sir Henry's Remarks BLOW FOR THE LIBERALS Sir Edward Gray, However, Says That the Speeches Have Been Made
 Under Misappre-

BLOW FOR THE LIBERALS

London, November 27.--Lord Roseberry 8 Bodwin, Cornwall, November 25, of the home rule policy of Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman. leader of the liberal party as outlined by that statesman, when speak ing at Stirling, Scotland November 23, which seems to have widened the breach in the liberal party at the moment when dissolution of parliament is threatened owing to the split in the unionist party over the fiscal question, is the latest sen- sation in the political circles of the United Kingdom.
 Solution of lreIand's Difficulties.
 Sir Edward Gray, who was under sec retary for foreign affairs in the liberal administration of 1S92-95, speaking at New Castle Under-Lyme tonight attempt ed to dissipate the widespread impression that the positions taken by Lord Rose berry and Sir Henry Campbell-Banner- man are irreconclable. He said he thought Lord Roseberry had put a wrong construction on Sir Henry's speech at Stirling and that undoubtedly an expla- nation from the latter would prove there had been misunderstanding. Sir Ed ward said the policy of the liberal govern ment should be along the lines followed by Premier Balfour, George Wyndham, former chief secretary for Ireland, and Sir Anthony P. Mcdonnell, under secre- tary to the lord lieutenant of Ireland in giving Ireland the widest possible scope for the development of her local institu- tions. He declared, however, that he dis tinctly repudiated the idea of home rule for Ireland as part of the liberal policy.
 Austen Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, speaking at Redditch tonight. said that the crisis In the cabinet existed solely in the imagination of the news papers. There was no such crisis. he de- clared, and he added that he was unable to say when the general elections would take place.
 In his speech at Sterling. Sir Henry bell-Bannerman said that the only way to heal the difficulties of the Irish movement and to make Ireland strong in stead of weak was to give the Irish peo- pie the management of their own domestic affairs. He added that opinions regard ing Ireland in this respect were becoming stronger
 Lord Roseberry, in his speech at Rod min, said he objected to raising the ban her of home rule, not only for high con stitutional reasons but also because of his desire for the welfare of the Irish people 'I state emphatically and explicitly" he concluded, that cannot serve under that banner"
