RYAN SAYS HE
WILL ANSWER.
Jerome Advises Equitable Alb.
sOTber to Speak of Hartman
Affair yellow Dog.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-That Thomas
F. Ryan, absorber Of the Equitable
Life. has concluded to reveal what Il.
H. Hartman threatened TO do to get a
share Of the Hyde stock rather than
suffer District Attorney Jerome to in
dict him has become known at the leg
islative insurance inquiry.
1t is expected that Ryan will go back
on the witness stand today and answer
the questions which he refused on Fri
day last to answer.
The decision of the district attorney
that Mr.. Ryan - ould answer the ques-
tions which he refused to answer in the
Legislative insurance investigation last
Friday has just been made public
through a letter addressed by Mr.. Je-
rome to Mr.. p. ID. Cravath, Ryan's
counsel.
Mr.. Jerome's letter says: after care
full consideration of the minutes of the
joint committee of the legislature, a
copy of the resolution appointing them
and the brief submitted by you have
reached the conclusion that Mr.. Ryan
ought to answer the questions pro-
pounded to him before the joint COM
mittee, although l fully appreciate the
motives which led him to refuse to an
swer until the question of law involved
could be made clear
Mr.. Hughes is putting the probe into
the Home Life Insurance company,
which, it has been sworn, never had a
yellow dog fund for influencing legis-
lation or anything else. President
George e. Ide was the first witness.
He, like his company, is also unique.
He carries no insurance on his life in
any degree.
1t was discovered by Mr.. Hughes
that the surplus of the Home Life
twenty years ago was $1,342,952 and by
latest reports 81, 1874, 104.
"Please explain that, Mr.. Ide," said
the inquisitor. !
well, we have considered that the
surplus 1--WE carry is sufficient for our
needs, and we have distributed the
earnings to the policy holders as we
have gone along. We think that is the
best way"
In the past twenty years the assets of
the company have increased from 49,
646,57S to SIG, 60G,2 900.
yours is a hopeless case said
Hughes, with Il laugh, as he excused
Idle from the witness stand.
Inquisitor Hughes then took hold OF
the Provident Savings Life Assurance
company and with it's president, Ed.
ward w. Scott, on the stand exposed q
nest of scandals that astounded even
those who have been listening to a re
hearsal of insurance evils during the
last three months.
1t was shown that President Scott
has outdone the McCurdys in the mat
ter of nepotism. He has four sons an6
n nephew enjoying lucrative posi-
tons in the company.

Miss Alice Roosevelt TO Wed Re-
preventative from Ohio in
the Spring.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The presi-
dents eldest daughter, Miss Alice
Roosevelt, and Representative Nicholas
Longworth of Cincinnati have become
engaged, and the formal announcement
will be made within a few days at the
White House. There have been rumors
in society circles at the national capital
to this effect for some time, and it has
been as frequently denied authorita.
lively. s
Even Miss Roosevelt has not been
able to keep herself free from Journal
istic query upon the subject, much to
her own and her family's annoyance.
The fact is that no formal engagement
was made known to even the most init
mate friends of the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt, and whether there was any
mutual understanding or anything akin
to it between Miss Roosevelt and Mr..
Longworth was, to put it brusquely,
perhaps something that was "nobody's
business except that of the two direct
ly concerned.
Now, however, matters stand some
what differently as between the couple
and society, but the wedding day has
not as yet been actually set. 1t has,
however, been determined upon so far
as that Miss Roosevelt's wedding bells
shall be set a-ringlng very early in the
spring, possibly before the winter is
really over.
Since her formal introduction to soci-
ETY. two winters ago Miss Roosevelt has
been much in evidence at the capital, in
New York and in Philadelphia.
Rumors as to her engagement to Mr..
Longworth were strengthened owing to
her recent trip to the far east, both she
and Mr.. Longworth being members of
Secretary Taft's party. Continually
during their journey there We're reports
that they would be married. which
were always met with a prompt denial
There was additional zest lent to them
when in Hawaii they were photograph
ed together, wearing the quaint floral
decorations Of the Sandwich Island ma
tives.
Throughout all her social career Miss
i"NOOSeNelt HIS not lost TIE ITduh, open
name that has made her a great fa-
vorite.
Representative Nicholas Longworth
is thlrty-six years of age and since his
graduation from Harvard in 1891 has
beeA an interesting figure in the social,
political and financial life at Cincinnati
and at the capital, where he has moved
in exclusive circles. His family has
been socially prominent in Cincinnati
for many years. Besides having a very
large fortune. left him by relatives, he
has been very successful in many oil,
coal and other interests in the south.
He first met Miss Roosevelt while her
father was serving as vice president
with the late President Mckinley. The
| young representative is an ardent ut
door sportsman. and many afternoons
saw Miss Roosevelt and himself gallop-

SEVERAL TARIFF TRUTHS.
Facts Which Show That Protection Is
the Foundation of Pros
perity.

Every once in awhile we are compelled
to listen to the lugubrious wailing of
some unhappy mortal, generally seek
er after leadership in some organiza-
ton with socialistic tendencies, that the
high tariff not only tends to increase
the cost of living to the poor man and
farmer, but actually brings about that
undesirable result, and he reenforces
his contention and clinches his argu-
ment with some alleged statistics show
ing that the cost of living Is anywhere
from rs to so per cent. greater than It,
would be IL the tariff schedules we're
revised in a more or less radical man
ner. 1t is true that the cost of living is
greater now than 1t was during the
period from 1890 to 1899, but a careful
analysis of the figures fails to show that
the tariff has much to do with 1t, says
the Wheeling Telegraph. Taking the
prices OF the ten-year period from 1890
to 1899 as 100, we find that in 1904 the
increase In farm products are repre-
sented by the figures 1862, food 1912,
cloths and clothing 1898, fuel and light
nus, ioS.V, nctdiS anu lIupicncHtS lVJ.O,
lumber and building materials 1921,
drugs and chemicals 10 and miscel-
laneous articles I'LL It will be noted
that the highest increase, that in fuel
and lighting, is upon necessities with
which the tariff has practically nothing
to do. The next greatest increase is In
products of the farm, where the tariff
cuts very little figure indeed, while
metals and implements. where we would
naturally expect the greatest increase,
IL the cry Of the anti-tariff bowler was
warranted, would be at the head of the
list, whereas the truth is It is next to
the bottom. Against this increase
should be set the gain to the working
classes in the larger opportunity
afforded for employment, and It will be
seen that the hue and cry against the
tariff and even the trusts has very lit
tie of substantial basis. 1t should be
realized that any blow struck at the
prosperity of the wage workers and the
farmer will hit the general progress OF
the country a hard knock. The figures
here given are from the department OF
labor, and are official.
