CHAPTER l.
The Real Significance of the Equitable
Fight

In the first place. il may be said
that the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety has assets that amount to $780,
600, 000 and a surplus of some $50
600, geo more; so that the funds Of
the society in round figures represent
half billion dollars. To realize how
much this really is it may be OBJ
served that it is three times the com
bined capitals of those world-famous
fduciary institutions, the Bank of
England the Bank of France, the
Bank of Germany and the Bank of
Russia
1t must be evident, therefore that
the control of the Equitable society
is worth while fighting about. even
among the greatest of our princes of
finance.
The management of this huge COM
panY is nominally in the hands Of 81
directors. But as is the case in most
of the boards Of directors Of great
corporations where such boards are

what might be called high class
guinea pigs" They have only a
small stock interest and they take a

ALASKA AROUSED over
NEGLECT BY CONGRESS-

SEATTLE, April 17.-Delayed mail
advices from the important centers
of Alaska indicate that veritable
storm Of indignation has broken out
as the news has sra dually penetrated
there of the failure of congress to
make any provision for territorial
representation IN congress. The dis
appointment is all the more severe
since Alaskans had come to have
great confidence in President Roose-
welt and in his willingness and abil-
fly to act in their behalf
There can be no questioning the
fact, despite official recommendation

whose individual interests lie in the

AN "ALL STAR"

NEW YORK, April 17.-Metropoli-
tan playgoers are displaying keen in
terest in the "all-star" production of
She Stops to Conquer" which is
to be produced at the New Amster-
dam theatcr tonight. The production
is along the same lines as the men,

eminent players as Miss Eleanor Rob

not selected by the big mining cor
porations. They declare that the
evils from which they have suffered
at the hands of the federal govern
ment have arisen from the fact that
the big companies have always had
their agents at Washington to repre-
sent their interests-a practice which
the small operators, prospectors and
settlers can not afford to follow.
The residents of a number of south
eastern Alaskan towns have recently
proposed a remedy for the govern
mental evils which beset them in the
form of a proposal that the southern
panhandle of the district be made a
part of the state of Washington In
support of this position they point
out that their commercial interests
are much more closely allied to those
of Washington than Alaska, and that
the people of Washington would take
some interest in giving them efficient
local government. which they declare
the federal government has failed to
do. The most radical expression fol-
lowing the receipt of the news of the
failure of congress to pass Il delegate
bin is that of the citizens of Valdez,
where a mass meeting was held and
after an indignant discussion this
telegram to President Roosevelt was
dispatched:
"On behalf Of $4,000 American citi-
zens in Alaska who are denied the
right of representation in any form

bled that Alaska be annexed to Can

Man Who Marched on Con-
gress in 1894 With His
"Commonweal" A rm Y
Declares That Roosevelt
and Bryan are Following
His Ideas on Railroads.
Government Ownership
in Ten Years More He
Predicts.
BY Jacob s. Coxey.

Ten years ago l was called a
dreamer because l insisted upon GER
tain reforms which politicians de-
are coming true.
| see that some of the New York
papers are trying to show how Pres
ident Roosevelt has been taking sue
cessive steps in the wake of w. j.
Bryan in the matter of the govern
ment and tn erailroads. Bryan, 1t
seems is still one lap ahead, as he
is now quoted as inclining tword
complete government ownership.
Now, if the time has arrived for
distributing the boquets, and the
real leaders in the great movement
are to be recognized, I want my claim
considered with the rest. I am more
than ten years ahead of Bryan and
these other new converts, journal
istics and others, who are making
such a fuss over government owner
ship of railroads.
On Jan. Is, 1895, l addressed the
ways and means subcommittee in
washington, OF WfllCn w. d. Bryan
was chairman and Benton McMillin,
Justin r. Whiting, julius G. Burrows
and John Dazell members, and among
other things l made this statement:
The great issue, l believe, which
is before the people today is whether
the railroads are going to own this
going to own the railroads.
So you see that Mr.. Bryan and
those who, like him, have recently
come out for government ownership
of the railroads, l have pointed ont
the means for bringing it about-the
only practical and feasible plan that
will bring hardship to none and do
justice to all. l refer to my ''no-inter-
est bonds plan, for whish bill was
introduced in congress June Is, 1894.
Now that my one dream has
gained such high recognition, per-
haps the other may be given consider
alton too.
What l said ten years ago holds
good now. and Roosevelt, Bryan and
the others will have to come to my
views of the matter entirely.

Tears that the great insurance com
panfes were rotten to the bottom and
would fiatten out utterly on probing
At the magic moment a policy hold
ers' committee, which Hyde Is said to
nave dubbed "Alexander's dummy
committee" turned up and demanded
that the Equitable be reorganized and
that the policy holders be given
votes. The fast-rising atmospheric
pressure indicative of public storm
frightened a sufficient number of the
directors who were friendly to HYDE
TO urge him to agree to an amendment
or the SocietY'S charter so as to ad-
NIT the policy holders to the voting
for directors. He agree that the
policy holders be given the right to
eject 2S directors, a majority of the
50. He stipulated, however, that
some of these directors be not elected
until the fall of this year, and the re-
mainder in the fall of next year. But
hyde got a majority of the committee
or seven appointed to investigate his
expense relations with the society
AID he appeared to regard this as a
point of vantage. on the other hand,
the Alexander faction may desire to
let their charges against Hyde go to
sleep since they believe they have
favorable opportunity within two
years to get control of the society
away from Hyde by getting the
proxies of the policy holders.
Proxy Holders Power.
Both the Mutual Life Insurance
company and the New York Life In
surance company are supposed to be
controlled by the policy holders AS
matter of fact they are controlled
by their respective presidents,
through the proxies of the policy
holders.
And similarly may the trust funds
of the Equitable society pass out of
reach of the Hyde faction and into
the hands of the Alexander faction
of the Equitable society, if the latter
faction can get a sufficient number
of the proxies of policy holders.
Meantime the state commissioner
of insurance is investigating and a
legislative investigation may sooner
or later be forced by public opinion,
while State Senator Edgar r. Brack-
EFT, on behalf OF policy holder, has
begun suit to restrain the society
from paying Hyde a salary of $780, |
600 and to compel Hyde to make re-
stitution of all the money he has so
drawn.
And suddenly, at the eleventh hour, |
when the Equitable charter is about
to be amended so as to pass the ma
jority control of the society from the
stockholders to the policy holders, up
comes a stockholders suit in the SUI
preme court to restrain the amend
ment of the Society'S charter, which, !
it is contended, impairs the stock
holders rights and privileges. The
suit is brought by Franklin b. Lord,
an attorney in Wall street, who, it is
whispered, is acting in behalf of John
Jacob Astor, who is an Equitable di-

CoXey at that time was OPP
Grating a big sand quarry near

great deal of money. Like
