Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, June 2.-The directors
OF the Equitable Assurance society de-
cided today, after an all day meeting,
by a vote of "a to Is, to reject the re-
port of it's own investigating commit
tee composed of five of its own direct
ors, who for more more than two
months had probed into the evils of the
management of the society. Two rea-
sons were assigned by the. contending
forces for the directors action
Men who voted for the adoption of
the report declared the men who voted
against it did so because it showed
evils in the management which stamp
certain officers of the Equitable as dis
honest and faithless to the trust re-
posed in them. These directors practi-
cally declared the men who voted
against the Frick committee report ex-
pected a dishonest report and one that
would whitewash the whole manage
ment of the society. They stultified
themselves, it was declared in con-
demning the finding of their own COM
mittee.
Declare Report Dishonest
The directors who voted against the
adoption of the report declared it was
a dishonest report in that it magnified
the trivial irregularities in the company
and ignored the great and serious evils
those which menaced the safety of
S4OO, 900, 600 of money belonging to 6OO,-
coo policy holders. In consequence of the
rejection of the report, Henry c. F'rick,
chairman of the committee, handed in
his resignationp not only as a mem-
ber of the committee but as director.
e. II. Hartman, another member OF
the committee, followed Frick's eX-
ample Cornelius n. Bliss, who has
been director of the Equitable for more
than quarter of a century, followed the
precedent set by F'rick and Hartman.
Seven other directors were known to-
night to be considering the advisabilitN
of resigning. These men include Mel
VILE ingalls,, Brayton Ives, d. o. Mills
and A. j. Cassatt.
At a meeting of the directors today
James H. Hyde made a terrific on
slaught upon Hartman and Jacob II.
Schiff. Hyde spoke almost continu-
ously for an hour and twelve minutes.
His language was not elegant, and one
of the directors who heard it said later
that it was the most vituperative ad-
dress he had ever heard of in any meet
ing of white men.
Hartman a dozen times jumped up
and Interrupted Hyde.

of II.

Aberdeen, s. n. May Is. 19O5.-Edi-
tor Argus: Our attention has been
called to an article in The Rock Island
Argus of May S, 1905, entitled Victim
of Fraud" alleging that we had been
defrauded out of property in Rock ISL
and valued at several thousand dol
lars. by trading for a farm in Brown
county, s. D.. TO which the parties we
traded with had no title, and that we
are contemplating returning to Rock
Island
We traded our property in Rock ISL
and to the Northwestern Land COM
panies. ST Paul. Mimi. as a partial pay
ment on the purchase price of farm
carefully examined. On our arrival
with our families and moveables at
Aberdeen, we were put in immediate
possession of our land, and were ex-
tended every favor we could wish from
the company, and also by our new
neighbors.
The farm was vacated a month be-
fore we arrived, and everything was
in readiness for us. We have had the
title of the land examined and we have
found it perfect in every respect. We
are well pleased with the treatment
We have received from the Northwest
ern Land companies. and we have found
them ever ready, through their agents.
10 furnish us with horses, machinery.
seed, etc. with which to carry on our
farm work
There is no truth whatever in the
statement that we have been defraud-
ed. We are well pleased with our new
home and have no intention of return
ing TO Illinois.
We have in about 500 acres of crop.
including about forty acres of corn.
We also have about twenty-five mich
cows and we wish to state that this is
not only good crop country, but is a
fine stock country as well.
We would be pleased TO see any of
our old friends and neighbors out this
way; also be pleased TO answer any
personal inquiry regarding the coun-
try or the Northwestern Land COM
panies. KURT BREITER,

THE MEXICAN LIZARD
DELICIOUS EATING, HIS FLESH LIKE
THAT or CHICKEN.

A Ta1o of Ia Curious Tail OF the
x1uana - The Way This Peculiar
Creature Can Grow a New Append
ago In Placo OF One Lost or stolen.
My tale is of the tail Of n lizard. We
had steamed and railroaded many hun
dreds of miles and at the III of civili-
cation had started owe n steep and
narrow trail with horses and pack
mules, finally finding ourselves en-
camped I'm q deep canyon or barranca
In west central Mexico.
Iguanas. great, black lizards, three
feet or more In length. were abundant
In the deep Of the cliff, coming
out early In the morning to sun them
selves and bobbing up and down as an
owl ducks his head to get a better look
at us as our Mexican cook started the
IRE or stirred about the camp. We
found them delicious eating. Though
the Mexican demurred at first, preju-
dicc was soon cast aside. Their limbs
might be black skinned and scaly with
out, but within all was sweet, white
meat, like that Of chickens and frogs
legs.

in the ground. would climb up
each morning. up, up to the topmost
limbs Of some trees, and there bask in
the sum-. They had q most startling
way Of descending, a headlong dive to
the underbrush or into the water. AS
twilight fell the sight Of these great
black appafitions sprawling earthward
was most remarkable. II one Of them
had ever struck us in its descent our
interest In this strange habit would
suddenly have become lessened.
Our usual method Of procuring these
giant lizards for our larder was to
shoot them high above US. when they
would tumble headlong to our feet.
Sometimes we could approach close to
one when 1t was fast asleep in the
scorch1ng heat OF midday. Once /
seized q big fellow by the tail. 1 was
sorry a moment later, but as I did not
want to be beaten by a lizard l held
ssoutly on. Never before had L taken
hold OF such IA steel spring. The crea-
ture curled and twisted and snapped
its body about, the sharp scales hav-
ing anything but a pleasant feeling on
the palm of my hand. Suddenly some
thing gave way, and I fell on my back,
while tho iguana shot Off in the OPP
posite direction into n deep hollow
among the rocks. When 1 regained
my feet / found some nine inches of
tail In my hand, almost one-third of
the entire animal.
This is not an uncommon occurrence
among lizards, and the ability to part
with 80 considerable n portion OF their
anatomy insures many an escape from
what would otherwise be inevitable
death.
Almost all animals with backbones
have n thick, pliable cushion of car
tilage between each Of the bones In
their spinal column, which permits
them to bend and twist 1t with much
freedom. The backbone Of the iguana
is at first all cartilage, and when the
hard cells Of the bone begin to be de-

AMERICAN
Arc Unique Among Institutions
of Learning.

They Arc Unique Among Institutions
of Learning.
The American college Is In every
way unique. 1t may be defined in q
word as a school for imparting more
general and advanced instruction than
can be obtained in the various acade-
mics and private schools. The univer-
sity, however, more particularly COM
prises a number of technical schools,
imparting instruction In all depart
ments Of knowledge, including classic
al literature. the arts and sciences, as
biology, medicine. surgery, law, theol-
ogy, mechanics and so On. The issue
as to which Is the most desirable, the
most useful, has been discussed at ed
ucadonal congresses, in the public
press and notably in the leading re-
views. There has been evident in
these discussions a tendency to look
upon the college as a kind OF inferior
school which must be given its place
only when there is not enough money
to establish the more expensive uni
versity. On the other hand, the college
has not wanted its stout champions, in
whose view the American college, with
its concentrated curriculum, the close
ness Of touch between pupil and pro-
lessor, is not only an institution that
is to be conserved, but is one that of,
ten, il not always, offers a better kind
Of education than is available In the
university.--Leslie's Weekly.
