Cheswoid apportionment for missions
is 800. The Sunday School rolled in
of this amount $SS.76 a few church
contributors swelled the amount to
$98. 66, so the apportionment was vir-
tually made up and Pastor Goodhand
was made happy. Bethel also sent in
for the year $43.25 which is a little
over her apportionment. G. B.
Moore's class of adults at Cheswold
was the banner class having con-
tributed more than $50.
Presiding Elder W. G.. Koons held
his fourth and closing quarterly Con.
ference for this charge at Bethel last

HYDE LETS LOOSE.

Continued from First Page) tribution. This latter contribution was the one to the last campaign and was asked by Henry c. Prick, 8 director who suggested 1t for the benefit of the society. To procure this money MT. AL eXander had MT. Hyde write a letter to 1 the president of the Mercantile Trust company, and this letter practically placed him in the position of a guaran- l tor.
 Later, when the settlement of the
 $6S5, ,OO0 loan was forced, MT. Alexander and Mir. Jordan raised all they could
 toward it. In addition, the stock pur- l chased with part of the loan was sold | to Thomas F. Ryan for $212, ,000 and paid
 on the loan. After these payments there was a balance of $212,5O0, which MT. Hyde paid personally. He did this be- cause he understood that MT. Alexan- ! der was financially embarrassed, and | In bitter tone said: Notwithstanding the strained relations with the two gen. | tlemen (Alexander and Jordan), I felt | bound to see that this loan was liqui- dated by reason Of the letter MT. Alex ander extracted from me"
 MT. Hyde said that he first received
 salary of $30,000, seven years ago. In
 1902, when he became chairman of the finance committee, his salary was ad- vanced to $75,000 and in 1903 1t was ad- vanced to $10O,000, at which 1t remained until he resigned as president of the society.
 Mir. Hyde presented statement showing that in the seven years of his connection with the Equitable Life and \ the allied corporations his average in
 come had been but a little more than ] $3S ,000 g. year. This was figured as seven years salary from the Equitable, amounting to $4S5,O0O, from which he deducted his losses in syndicate trans actions, amounting to $2S,615, and the l $212,5OO paid on the $685, 1000 loan, which left balance of $199,884, or an average annual income of $27,697, to which was aded the average income from his off, fees in the trust companies, of $10,500. Witness said he had been misrepresent- ed.
 The syndicate operations of J. H..
 Hyde and associates were gone into very thoroughly and it was shown that
 in twenty-three syndicates MT. Hyde sustained personal losses of $2S,615. Of the $50,000,000 Union Pacific pool
 MT. Hyde said F. H. Hartman insti-
 gated it and explained it was to be a holding syndicate for five years. It was understood that this was for the purpose of controlling the Union Pacific railroad.

He Held the Pole to the Wire, But He
 Got the Fares Just the Same.
 Mild excitement prevailed on the Waterville trolley line yesterday, as the car which leaves the Center for Waterville at 1:0S sustained fracture of the spring which holds the trolley pole in place against the wire, just as the car made the Faber switch. The conductor mounted to the roof of the car and held the pole up to keep the trolley wheel on the wire, and the car crept, with sundry 1hitches, to the ter minus and returned to Waterbury un- der the same conditions, rounding the curves a little uncertainty and occa- sionally pausing to take 8 fresh hold. This caused great hilarity on the part of certain, youthful spectators along the line, and probably many of them envied the conductor on his elevated perch. No fares were collected till Cottage Park was reached on the homeward trip, when the conductor de- scended long enough to attend to that duty.-Water5ury American.

ENTERTATNM ENTS.
HyperiOn Thenter.

Charles Frohman will present N. c. Goodwin in "Wolfville'' at the Hype- rion theater tonight.
 "Wolfville" was dramatized by Clyde Fitch and Willis Steel from the stories of an Arizona mining camp, written by Alfred Henry Lewis and is a comedy drama, a thriller, yet possessing lib- eral supply of the comedy. The authors have vitalized many of the typfal char acters including Cherokee Hall, the gar- rulous Alcade; San Enright, Doc. Peete, Jaybird Bob, British Bill, Faro Nell, Benson Annie, the wash lady who has the "heathen Chinee" run out; Mrs. Ruckey, who runs the "Restaurant;' Sue Wilkins, and others. There are many strong situations and climaxes; and Nat Goodwin is seen as the square gambler, Cherokee Hall, around whom the plot centers. There are cowboys and miners, stage hold-ups. The com- pany is one that might be consistently alled "all stars" as it includes such players as Guy Standing, Sam Edwards, Katherine Grey, Jessie Busley, Phyllis Rankin, Josephine Sherwood, Rapley Holmes, Nell OBrien, Charles Butler, and score of others who are adequate.

by him. Mir. Hyde said that Mir. Har- riman came to him and advised the set- clement of Odells suit, as he feared that otherwise powerful influence at Albany would be invoked in retaliatory measures. Mir. Hartman suggested that the revocation of the charter of the Mercantile Trust company might be one Of the measures. Mir. Hyde knew of no actual steps that were taken, nor of any bill that was introduced. but he was beset with rumors on the subject. The Equitable Life. he said, was not interested beyond the connection it had with the Mercantile Trust company.
 ATr. Hyde said the suit was settled by paying MT. Oddell about $75,000
 Charges of conspiracy to get him out of the country were made by Mir. Hyde against Henry Prick and E. H. Harri- man in connection with the reported aspirations of Mir. Hyde to become am- bassador to France. He said MT. Prick inspired the idea. MT. Hyde said he took it as a joke at first, but when MT. Prick brought it up later he was flat tered, and both MT. Hartman and Mir. r TICK tO uSG l4iSlI llIIIueLIEG IO secure the appointment. Again MT. Hyde grew bitter in his explanations of the extraordinary interest these gentle men had in his presence from the coun- try He said he thought their idea was that they would acquit themselves of their friendly stewardship with great profit to themselves" and added that the nature of their interest had since become very obvious.
 Mir. Hyde charged. MT. Prick with breach of faith in leading him to be- lieve that the Prick Investigating com lnittee was friendly to him. and was doing all he could to dissuade witness from selling his stock, at the same time, as MT.
