introduce in the Assembly to-day resolution call
ing for Joint legislative investigation OF the affairs
Of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, but was
prevented from doing by the objection of Mr..

There IS a firm conviction IN the minds of the peo-
ple that the affairs Of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society are not being honestly and properly con-
Quoted by the officers, managers or directors. or
some Of them, and that the earnings OF the com
pany are not being used for the benefit of the pol
icyhoders. but are diverted from their legitimate
purposes and used by OF the officers or direct
ors of said company for their personal ends
and ACKNOWLEDGMENT; that most injurious charges,
counter charges rumors and increasing scandal
have directed the attention of the people to the
existing conditions within the management OF the
Equitable Life and have created growing BELIEF
that competent and public investigation is abso-
lutely necessary 10 the end that legislation be en-
acted such as will restore honest proper and pru-
dent management of the affairs of this company
and its numerous policyholders.

DELANO ON WABASH.
May Take Up Steel Trust Contract
at Once, He Says.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.I

Pittsburg. April 26.-F. A. Delano. coming
vice-p president Of the Wabash road, to-day in
Chicago discussed his future policy in handling
the road. To Pittsburg newspaper representa-
tive he said:
Il am not familiar with the United States
Steel Corporation contract. but its solution, II
it is the newspapers state. will be one of the
first problems expect TO take UP. I think Mr..
Ramsey resigned because he thought that the
load he was carrying in operating the main sys-
TEN and building into Pittsburg was too great"
Mr.. Delano then went on to say that he ap-
proved greatly Of the plan OF work followed
by Mr.. Ramsey, and that he himself would work
along the same lines He admitted that It was
the intention of Mr.. Ramsey to sever his con-
nection with the Wabash entirely. Mr.. Delano
was not sure whether not he himself would
be elected a member of the board Of directors Of
the Wabash road.
