NEW YORK. April 3.-The most
important development in the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society's affairs
to-day was the announcement tonight
by Governor Higgins at Albany and
by President James w. Alexander of
the society in this city that State Su-
perintendent of Insurance Francis
Hendricks had begun an investigation
of the companys affairs.
This was followed by the introduce
ton in the State Senate tonight Of
a resolution providing for legislative
investigation of the Equitable. The
resolution was presented by Senator
Bracket
Hendricks returned to Albany last
night after several days spent in con-
ference with those interested IN Equi-
table matters in this city. The Gov
ernor's announcement came less than
twelve hours after the superintendent
had reached his Albany office and was
followed by a formal announcement
from Hendricks Office in this city to-
night TO the same effect.
This action BY the state authorities
follows request made by Alexander
TO superintendent Hendricks by letter
on February II. and by Hyde in a later
letter. announcements Of which was
made last Saturday night.
In an authorized statement-the
first Alexander has made siace the
State superintendent was called into
the controverSy-the president of the
Equitable says that the investigation
by Hendricks lis now in progress
Its result he adds. will establish
the truth or falsity of many matters
which are now being alleged Sn the
one hand and c0ntrOverted on the

He takes occasion to deny some of
the statements made formally by Hyde
last Saturday night He says:
He (Hyde) says that the charges
that have been made against him have
their origin in an effort by individuals
TO obtain control of the Equitable So
ciety and its assets. On the part of
myself and other officers of the society
who are associated with me in this

action is influenced by any motive ex-

the presidents authority and his ha-
bitual action without the consent or

CHICAGO. April 3.-At s o'clock to-
morrow morning the voters of Chicago
will begin registering by their ballots
their choice for Mayor and other city
officers 1t is, expected that. about
$4,000 citizens will vote during the
hours the polls are open. That the con-
test will be one of the hardest fought
political battles ever known in this
city is certain. Both the Dunno fol-
lowers and the Harlan supporters will
put forth every effort to get the ad-
herents of their respective candidates
into the voting booths.
Both sides kept up their claims to-
day. Chairman Reddick and Organiza-
ton Chairman Hanberg OF the Repub-
iican committee adhered to their esti-
mate Of 10000 or mere plurality for
Harlan. The Democratic managers
persisted in their claim of from $4,000
to $4,000 plurality for Dunno. Dunno
himself predicted that his plurality
would be from $4,000 to $4,000 Harlan
claimed a plurality of $4,000 or more
Mayor Harrison predicted that Judge
Dunno would win by from 1900 to
10000 plurality, but aside from making
this claim would not discuss the cleo
tion..
Both sides admit that there is large
percentage of voters who have not ex-
pressed their views to party canvass
ers. 1t is this silent vote that the Re-
publicans rely upon and that the DEM
ocrats fear. Neither side can guess
what is in the back of the heads OF
these thousands OF silent voters, whose
dictun. 1t is admitted. will decide the
election.
The election will in a large measure
decide the street railway question,
which for the past few-years has been
the chief issue in all local elections
Street railway franchises estimated to
be worth $500. 900 900 are at stake The
question this year has simmered down

rangement with the traction companies

BENTON, ILL.,, April 3.-Fifty miners
were entombed to-day in Joseph Lett
er's mine at Zeigler by an explosion of
gas. and il is probable that thirty or
forty of the buried men are dead. Thus
far fifteen bodies have been found The
explosion was due to the fact that the
Letter mines are not worked on Sun
day. thus allowing gas to accumulate
in the lower workings.
When between thirty-five and forty
five miners had descended into the
mine to-day to resume work a terrific
explosion blew the timbers about the
mouth of the mine high into the air.
One of the steel cages was blown to the
surface from the bottom of a 500 foot
shaft The shock of the explosion was
felt at Benton, twelve miles distant.
One miner was killed and four were
severely injured at the mouth of the
shaft in which the explosion occurred.
The work of rescue was begun at once
by miners who were arriving at the
time the explosion took place. but the
main shaft was SO badly wrecked that
rescue work has to be carried on
through the air shafts.
There was much excitement among
the miners after the disaster. because
