Albany, April 4.-After thorough
discussion of the affairs Of the Equita-
bic Life Assurance society by Governor
Higgins and Francis Hendricks, state
superintendent Of insurance, the gov
srnor announced that the insurance de-
partment would undertake an investi-
cation of the present situation and Of
she society's affairs generally.
eBoth President Alexander and Vice
President Hyde" said the governor,
shave asked Superintendent Hendricks

and well enough to know that he is
thoroughly competent for the task, and
everybody can rest assured that the
examination will be honest and prop

Superintendent Hendricks said that
the investigation had begun in New
York city and would include the exam
nation of the company's books and pa
pers and the examination Of its officers,
directors and policy holders by repre-
sentatives of the department. AS to
the further nature of its scope he
would not say. Isaac Vanderpool, chief
department examiner, would be in
charge, with as many assistants as he
required. The superintendent said that
the letter from President Alexander re-
auesting the investigation was dated in
February. He declined to make its
contents public. Mr.. Hyde's request,
he said, was embodied in his statement
published in the Sunday papers.

Hyde Charges Alexander With Bad
Faith and Gets a Reply.
New York, April 4.-The investiga-
lion announced from Albany as begun
will probably disclose officially what
was learned yesterday, that Gage u.
Tarbell, second vice president of the
Equitable Life Assurance society and
head of its agencies, on the day he en-
tered the fight to oust Mr.. Hyde, sold
out all his commissions on future poll
cies for $135,000. This transaction, an
agreement between Mr.. Tarbell and
President Alexander, was never passed
on by the executive committee or any
other official body of the society.
Conference followed conference on
both sides yesterday. The situation is
now practically where it was before
any naturalization plans had been
agreed on. President Alexander and
his adherents are working tooth and
nail to oust Mr.. Hyde. He is begin
ming a desperate fight not only to re-
tain his place in the society, but to
clear himself of the charges brought
against his business career and his per-
Eonal character.
Before the entire executive commit
lee at meeting called by him Mr..
Hyde charged Mr. Alexander with bad
faith and demanded an answer as to
what he intended to do about the Gin
terests of the policy holders" whose
guardian he had announced he was.
Mr.. Alexander returned no answer
until after conference with his law
yers lasting several hours and after
several hours more Of revision. He
then gave out signed statement as
