ALBANY, n. y. May 3.-In the de-
bate on the Niagara falls power bill
Mr.. Malby said: Canada is granting
to power companies franchise after
franchise. 1t makes no difference what
the United States does to guard the
falls, the Canadian falls are SC much
lower that they can drain ours. and the
Canadians can go on selling us power
as they are doing now.
Enough power goes to waste in Nj
agara to light this state from one end
to the other. BY using ever II part of
1t we can make the state prosperous as
IL never was before. The sight of Il
happy Industrious community is better
than the finest waterfall in the world
Senator Cassidy held that il would be
as reasonable to protest against the
Chicago drainage and Welland canals
on the ground thai they lowered the
falls by taking water from the great
takes.
1.-THE bridal couples who sit on Cont
island aud listen to the gurgle Of the
falls might ms well protest that this bill
is an assault upon the coal mines, said
Senator Cassidy.

whom were naval apprentices and un-
used to such %boisterous conditions,
baled for many hours with buckets
and succeeded in freeing the engine

THREATS MADE
BY HARTMAN
THOMAS r. RYAN TELLS OF HIS
TALKS WITH THE RAILROAD
MAGNATE.
MONEY FOR CAMPAIGN fund ,
SENATOR DRYDEN SAYS THE
PRUDENTIAL CONTRIBUTED
THOUSANDS.

New York, Dec. IA. - Thomas F.
Ryan yesterday appeared before the
insurance Investigating committee
and told what E. H. Hartman did and
threatened to do when he demanded
that Mr.. Ryan concede to him a share
in the control of the Equitable Life
Assurance society last June. Mr..
Ryan assured the committee that he
had meant no, disrespect by his form
lions, and said that he had determined
to answer the questions to which he
had refused replies on Friday last be-
cause District Attorney Jerome said
he ought to do so.
Harriman's Threats.
Mr.. Ryan's version of what Mr.. Har-
riman demanded and what he threat
ened to do upon the refusal of his de-
mands, was, in substance, as follows:
That Hartman demanded one-half
of the 500 shares of the stock of the
Equitable Life Assurance society
which Mr.. Ryan had purchased from
James H. Hyde and which gave MI.
Ryan control of the property.
That Hartman threatened, unless
he was conceded this share in the
control Of the society, to exert his po-
litical and all other influences against
Mr.. Ryan and his project.
That Hartman declared there prob
ably would be
LeqisIative Acton
and that in that event his influence
would be important.
That Herman demanded the right
to name two of five trusteea &c vote
the contrcli;ag stock in the election of
directors of the society.
In reply to repeated questions by
Charles E. Hughes, counsel of the
committee, Mr.. Ryan stated that Mr..
Hartman did not threaten that there
should be legislative action unless he
was given a shore in the Equitable
control, but said there probably would
be such action. Neither did Mr.. Har-
riman threaten any action by an Off
Ger of the government.
Strenuous Interview.
It was a strenuous interview, Mr..
Ryan said, and was held in the pres
ence of Elihu Root, then Mr.. Ryan's
counsel, nov secretary Of state, and
Paul D. Cravath, also Fir. Ryan's
counsel.
United States Senator John F.. Dry
den of New Jersey, president of the
Prudential Life Insurance Company of,
America, was on the witness stand all
the remainder of the day. Irte testified
that his company paid $2e.hhG &c the
Republican national campaisn fund in
1896, 1900 and 1904. 1t also paid SIS, 900
to Andrew Hamilton, formerly the
New York Life Insurance company's
agent at Albany.
