 OF DIRECTORS Discussion Of Equitable'S
 Tangled Affairs. SEVERAL SPEECHES MADE No Demand That Alexander
 or Hyde Get Out. Names of Several Distinguished mcn Mentioned, However, In Conncc-
 ton With Presidency of
 the Society.
SEVERAL SPEECHES MADE

New York. May S--A conference of Equitable directors was begun shortly after 3 p. m.. today with more than thirty directors present. including ths following: Louis Fitzgerald. Cnaun- cey M. Depew. 1T. c. Deming. George H. Squire, Charles s. Smith, c. Led yard Blair. M. E. Ingalls,, E. H. Har~ riman, Jacob H. Schin. C. B. Alex ander, M. Hartley Dodge. J. F. Den- avarro. Bradish Johnson. August Bell mont, D. O. Mills, George J Gould. Thomas T. Eckert, Alvin W. Krech. John McCook. H. M. Alexander, David H. Motfatt and Joseph T Low
 The conference which lasted scarcely an hour, was called to order by Mir. Schiff. who said that he was not alone responsible for the meeting but that many of the directors had spoken to him of the necessity for the directors meeting and also of conferring upon the present situation and conoluons in the society. MT. Schif then set forth at some length the reasons which he thought necessitated a general con- ference before official action saouid be taken by the board. Charles Stewart Smith was made chairman of the con- ference, but there was no secretary appointed, as Senator Depew after- wards explained. in order that the meeting should take only the form of a conference.
 Speeches covering the general situa. tion together with suggestions as tc future management of the society were made by Mir. Ingalls, Mir. Mills Mn Schiff, Chairman Smith. Mir. Hartman MT. Low, Mr. Gould and Senator Des pew. It was unanimously decided that it would be unwise to adopt any reso- lution before the report of the investi- gating committee.
 The statement is authoritativeiy made that no demand was made at ths conference today for the retirement either of President Alexander or Vice. President Hyde. It was not denied however, that the names of several men of distinction were mentioned ii1 connection with the presidency of the society,"
 Before the conference one of the ds. reetors stated that the meeting would discuss ways and means of at once re- pafrjng the Injuries inflicted on tie so- ciety's reputation. He added that the directors realized fully the public ia disgusted with the bickerings of ,he executive officers.

English Press Anxious.

London May s.-The editorial articles in this mornings newspapers reflect lively anxiety as to the outcome of the delicate situation involved in the dis pute between Japan and France on the neutrality question. Every allowance Is made for the difficulty France has to face and it is fully believed the French Government is doing its utmost to ob serve neutrality according to her inter- pretation of the principles thereof. Whether the French colonial authori ties are equally anxious to obey in- structions from Paris is greatly ques- tioned. The belief here is that they have strong predilection in favor of Russia. The London newspapers do not conceal their opinion that the facilities Rojestvensky has obtained in French waters constitute a serious menace to Japan's ability to retain command of the sea and although 1t is not apprehended that Japan will force the situation in manner calculated to draw other powers into the struggle. since such developments would suit Russias plans. strong appeals will be made to the French Government to avoid the possibility of such complica- tions.
 No further news has been received throwing light on the positions of the fleets.
 According to The Daily Mails Hong kong correspondent. a secert confer ence of British navy commanders was held there Monday.

JUNCTURE IS
 NOW A FACT Two Russian Fleets Are Sailing Together. LOCATION OF SQUADRONS Ignorance PrOfeSSed as to Their Whereabouts. Report Says Rojestvensky Was Seen on Coast of Ansm and Ordered
 Away by Admiral De-
 Jonquieres.
LOCATION OF SQUADRONS

There Is indications that French hos pitaLty will not be taxed much longer by the Russian warships which have been lowering about the coast of Indo- China for nearly a month. Official ad- vices have reached St. Petersburg which are believed to indicate that the division of Vice Admiral Nebagotoff has effected junction with the more powerful squadron commanded by Vice Admiral Rojestvensky and at the Rus- sian capital 1t is expected that the combined squadrons will lose no time in steaming northward to encounter the Japanese. Confirmation of St. Petersburg's expectation is afforded by an official despatch to the French na- val office announcing that the Russian squadron has left Kong Hai Bay, its destination being unknown.
 The bay named Is probably what is shown on some maps as Kanh Hoa or Nha Trang which Is a few miles south of Hon Kohe Bay where the Russian ships were recently reported to be. Simultaneously Japanese warsnips were reported to be concentrating in the Straits of Formosa, the scouting line being much extended.
 There has been increasing feeling in Japanese official quarters regarding the way in which France has continued neutrality and Great Britain's sympa- thy for her ally has been evidenced In communications that have passed be- tween the British foreign secretary and the French Ambassador in London as well as between the British Ambassa- dor in Paris and Foreign Minister Del CaSSe,

Alabama Brings News of Interesting Speed
 Contest.
 New York, May S.--Eews of an eight-hour ocean race in which seven big United States battleships participated was brought here today by the battleship Alabama, which ar rived in command of Read Admiral Charles H Davis and will go to the navy yard here to. be overhauled because of the paar show ing which she made in the contest.
 The ships were coming up the coast last Saturday and vera about two hundred miles south of Cape Henry when the word was given for a speed test. For two hours 1t was nip and tuck. there being scarcely a change in the relative position of the par ticipants. By that time excitement was running high on board the battleships and the speed contest had developed into a race. Finally the Massachusetts and the Alabama began to fall behind, and when the signal ending the race was flashed both these ships were far in the rear The Alabama, which has the record of being one of the fastest battleships in the navy. was fully a mile and a half behind the Massachusetts
 At the finish the batteship Missouri, which had drawn away from the others. was only 7Sh miles south or Cape Henry, having covered 126h miles in the eieht hours.
 During the last six hours of the race the battleships were under forced draft and all suffered more or less from the strain to which they were subjected. With the ex- ception of the Alabama all the vessels went to Hampton Roads

 Wholesalers in Chicago, particularly in the grocery line. are losing thou sands of dollars a day because of de- crease in country business. A new diff ficulty in the strike situation from the viewpoint of the wholesale houses that use great quantities of wrapping paper has developed. No wholesale houses have been supplied with paper by the or by the teaming com panies since the strike began. The supply is running low in many in- stances.
 Negro Assaulted.
  sengers Bert Mckay. a negro non union teamster, was savagely assaulted on the platform of the elevated station at State and Van Buren Streets today. He was leaving an elevated train when two men who had apparently followed him from his home attacked him. The negro was so badly injured that he had to be removed in a patrol wagon.
 William B. VanDyke was shot in the right leg this afternoon by Harry Cum ningham, a guard employed by the Adams Express Company. Cunning ham was standing on the rear end of the wagon when he declared VanDyke threw a some. The missile knocked the guards hat off and he fired two shots at Van Dyke, one taking effect. Many persons gathered about the ex- press wagon an dthreatened Cunning ham. He held his revolver in his hand and held off the crowd until the police rescued him.

As William Sees It.

Berlin, May S.-The Evangelische Kircheon Zeitung today prints a de- tailed report of Emperor Williams re- marks when swearing in the naval re- cruits at Wilhelmshaven on March in which, he cited the Japanese as a luminous example of patriotism and soldierly fidelity. The Kircheon Zei- tung resume of the speech is as fol- lows:
 The Emperor referred to the heroic deeds of the Japanese and added that these are borne of Japanese patriotism and love for children. which in turn resulted in splendid discipline in army and navy. One must not however draw the conclusion from Japanese victories victories of a heather over a Chris tian people-that Buddha is superior to our Lord Christ. The Russian de- feat. in his opinion. was due to the fact that Russian Christianity was in a deplorable condition. The Japanese. on the other hand, could show many Christian virtues. A good Christian makes a good soldier. Among the German people. too. Christianity Is in a sad condition; and he doubted wheth- ed we Germans. in case of war, would have the right to pray to God for victory, to force 1t from Him like Jacob wrestling with the Angel The Japanese are the scourge of God, like Attilla and Napoleon. It devolves upon us to take care that God does not chastize us some day with such a scourge.
