SURPLUS
is POLICY
HOLDERS

New York May s.-A letter written by
President James w. Alexander of the
Equitable Life Assurance society to the
general manager Of the society, in which
he comes out with the hat- footed de-
claration that every penny OF the Equita.
ble's SS0,oooooO surplus belongs to the
policy holders. was made public last
night.
Mr.. Alcxander's letter includes a let
ter from ]. c. VanCise. the Equitable
actuary, in which Mr. VanCise not only
corroborates President Alexander's views
In regard 10 the ownership OF the sur
plus. but also states that Henry h. Hyde,
the father IF the present vice president
and owner OF the majority of the stock.
regarded the surplus as belonging eX-
clusNely to the policy holders.
President AleXanders letter is a reply
10 the demand made by the general
agents at their conference I'm this city
recently for DEFINITE statement on this
subject.
1t is intended also as an official an
swer to the contention that has been
made i'm the Franklin r. Lord injunction
suit that the naturalization Of the COM
pany would deprive the stock Of GER
tain Of its property rights also as "A
refItation of the assertions made by Mr..
Hyde that Mr.. Alexander through his
recent acts as president OF the society
In furthering the cause Of naturalization.
has acted disloyally in that he has de-
preciated the value of the estate OF which
he was trustee.
This letter being the first official dec
laration OF he kind on the subject IL is
expected that II will figure most promi.
nently in the several suits that have al
ready been begun for division % the
society's surplus among the policy hold
ers
The letter rs addressed 70 Edward A
Woods manager OF the Equitable Life
Assurance Society of Pttsburg and In
part says: u consider thst there can
he no doubt as 10 three facts: First
that the business of the society has been
conducted in accordance with it's charter
since the date of its organization on the
mutual plan second, that the profits Of
the society have been accumulated for
its policy holders. and. third. that the
surplus of the society is held for the ex-
elusive benefit OF ite policy holders
II do not recall any serious questions
having ever arisen on these points until
recently, when claim has been put for
ward on behalf of the stock which is at
variance with the terms of the society's
character. the uniform course of it's busi-
ness and all official and unofficial state
mcnts and representations
