MAY PLEAD GUILTY.
Barney Says He Would Not Care
 Only for His Wife.

Only for His Wife.
 Fred Barney, who was arrested in Springfield, Mass, last week for being fugitive from justice, will, 1t is be- lieved, plead guilty. He is in New Haven jail awaiting trial, and he may be put to plea next week. That will depend upon what he determines to do. If he decides to fight the trial may not take place for some months, as Attorney Kellogg has more than will keep him busy until New Years. Barney skipped from the sheriffs one morning five years ago as the train bringing him and the other prisoners from New Haven jail reached the Naugatuck depot. He was to stand trial for burglary of Polls theater and stealing about $1S0 from the safe there. The officers in Springfield al- ways said that that was the place where he would be arrested, and their prophecy proved correct He had been working on the railroad for some time and was getting along we'll He had been married six or seven months and was gradually getting out of debt which he contracted when he settled down. But he always had present. ment that he would be arrested some time for fleeing from the officers and that hung over him like an incubus. He now says that if he were certain his wife would be taken care of he would begin his sentence without a murmur and begin life all over again upon its termination.

Washington, Nov 14.-The words of the president, square deal" are being worked vigorously by many persons who have old claims or requests upon the government Many of the cases, which are known in the departments as "old slugs," because of the many times they have been considered and rejected, have again been presented with a demand for square deal." |" An officer of the army. to whom all such cases in the war department are referred for report says that all these claims for reinstatement in the service or for advanced retired rank, or claims for property taken, all of which have heretofore been passed upon and de cided adversely to the claimant, set out that what they ask now is square deal" and many of them in- sist that their requests be presented to the president.

New York, Nov 14.-James H. Hyce testified to-day before the insurance Investigating committee. He said that the objects of the mysterious $6So,OOo loan by the Mercantile Trust Go to the Eouitable Life Assurance Co were to buy off inconvenient suits, to buy up stock of the Equitable as 1t came into the market and to make political con tributions. MT Hyde said further that the only political contribution of which he knew was that of $25,O00 to Cor nelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the na- tional republican committee in the last presidential campaign. The contribu- tIon was solicited by H. c, Prick. Last summer when the banking department called for the repayment of the $0S5,- 900, the Equitable company repudiated it. Mir Hyde said that Mir Alexander and Mir Jordan raised as much as they could and then he, Hyde. made up the balance, 212,OO0. He said that he thought he was generous in that he had not received any benefit from the t0an

PROTEST MADE.
Against Any Tinkering With Railroad Rate
 Legislation.

Washington, Nov. 14-An earnest protest was made to the president to- day against proposed railroad freight legislation. The protest was filed by representatives of five of the great labor organizations connected with raliroading-the engineers, flremen, conductors, switchmen and trainmcu. The members of the delegation which called on the president represented the several organizations. They told him that railroad rate legislation losi- cally meant the lowering of rates. This they contended will be followed Dy lessening of the earning power or railroads and consequently by re- duction eventually of the wages of railroad employees

JOHN HAYS ADAPTABlLITY.
Faculty Which Gave the Late Secre- tary of State the Open ses-
 anne to Success.

Many stories are told of the late secretary of state, John Hay, to illus. trate the remarkable good fortune which was his in finding at the com. pletion of every task new one await. ing him, which was an advance in his profession and an opportunity to de- velop himself Most chapters in his career, says Youths Companion, illus trate also the marvellous adaptability which made 1t possible for him to take instant advantage of every opportuni- ty which offered.
 When he was young man acting as President Lincoln's assistant private secretary, Hay met whitelaw Reid, then a war correspondent. In the years between then and 1870 Mir. Reid rose rapidly, and became managing ed- itor of the New York Tribune under Horace Greeley.
 In that year Hay, a young man of but S2, resigned his position as charge d'afaires in Madrid. returned to New York, and there met Reid again and dined with him. Later they walked down to the Tribune office.
 It chanced that the foreign editor was away that night-Hay's inevitable good fortune-and in the cable mes sages which came to the managing ed- itor was one of especial importance.
 Here" he said to Hay, "sit down and write me a leader for tomorrow on this thing"
 Half in joke. but entirely competent, Hay complied. The article proved ex- cellent-Hay had accepted the oppor- tuntty. Reid asked him to stay a week. then a month and so John Hay entered journalism Without days zppren- ticeship. without solicitation or expee- tation on his part, when he was in fact on his way to Illinois. where he ex- peeted to take up the practice of law, he received a high place on the fore most paper in America. He held the position Eve years. and vas soon we'll known in the profession.

Boston, Nov 14.-The first touch Of real winter weather greeted residents of Greater Boston when they awoke this morning.

HYDE WAS BEFORE THE
 INSURANCE COMMITTEE
de Tells About That Mysterious $6S50OO Loan-Says the Only Political Contribution of Which He Had Any Knowledge Was One of $25 900 to Treasurer of Republican National Committee Bliss.

New York, Nov 14.-James H. Hyde,
 former vice president of the Equit-
 able Life Assurance society, was the
 most conspicuous figure at the open
 Ing of to-day's session of the Arm
 strong committee on insurance inyes-
 tigatior. There were several ladies
 present today, among them Mrs
 Charles E. Hughes, wife of the coun-
 Sel to the committee, and Mrs w. w.
 Armstrong. Just before the session
 was called to order MT Hyde entered
 the room accompanied Iby his counsel,
 Samuel Untermeyer, and took seat
 well up toward the front of the room
 and Immediately back of the press table.
 Extra police had been stationed in the corridor outside the committee room, and were on hand to control any great crowd that might appear. The first witness called was John Mo Guinness, employed by the Equitable Life, who was on the stand at ad- journment last night, and the reading of orders of T. D. Jordan to A. c. Fields relative to bills introduced in the legislature at Albany was contin- ued
 Mir Hyde was the next witness. He testified that he was % years old and became second vice president of the Equitable one month after graduating from Harvard. He had always been brought up to believe his life work was to be the legitimate successor of his father, the founder of the Equit- able. He had travelled and studied with that object in view. His father had instilled in him his views on fife insurance He was director of the company two years before he gradu- ated. From his earliest youth he had lived in life insurance atmosphere and had expected to make 1t his life work. During his fathers illness James w. Alexander turned over to him little by little matters of detail. He did not receive salary upon his first connection with the company. He was offered a salary, but declined. The president and various members of the executive committee then sug- pested that as he had qualified him self by two years work he should | have a salary and President Alexan- der in 1900 fixed it at 30,000. Mir Alex ander asked if this was agreeable to him CHyie). In 1902 General Louis Fitzgerald resigned as chairman or the finance committee, and MT Hyde was appointed to the chairmansIap. For the added responsibilities falling on MT Hyde his salary was advanced 10 75,O00. His. duties constantly in- creased in the various departments md in 1903 his salary was made s1OO.O00, at which 1t remained until his resignation last spring. The wit ness never spoke to any of the officers or members of the executive commit tee or in any way suggested an in- crease in his salary.

chance Caught Three Men.
 Special Officers Fred and Edward Lachance made a clever capture in Waterville this forenoon. Last night barn in Torrington was broken into by tramps, 1t was supposed. The con- lecture proved correct and as they left no trace behind them in Torrington it was supposed they had come down the valley. Word was accordingly sent down ahead of them. Three men act ing suspiciously were seen on the out skirts of Thomaston this forenoon and word was sent to the local police sta. ton to be on the lookout for them. The strangers had hardly come within the limits of Waterville when the spe- cial officers allghted on them. There was a stubborn fight, but the strangers were finally subdued and taken into custody.
