JEROME HAS REPORT
Governor Will Back Up Prose
cution Of Equitable.
HENDRICKS FINDINGS STIR ALBANY
Result Of investigation Trnnsmitted
TO state Government Now In
Hands of District Attor-
ney For Action.


ALBANY, n. Y, June Ex-Governor
Higgins has sent a copy of the Hen
bricks report on the Equitable Life AS
surance society to District Attorney
Jerome, with the promise that he
would cooperate with the local prose
cutor in any criminal action that Mr..
Jerome might find justified.
Attorney General Mayer has ordered
his full force of assistants to be pre-
pared TO take up the Equitable report.
and he will without delay prepare to
sue In the supreme court for an ac-
counting and restitution and for the
removal of the accused officers I'M
directors.
Revealed by the report Of Mr.. Hen
bricks, it became known that on the
payroll of the Equitable Life Assur.
ance society at a salary of $50, 600 g
year is stih carried the name of E. w.
Lambert, late chief medical director,
who has been dead for thirteen months.
In the same list are three other
names-G. ii. Squire, Il. Curtis and J.
Lorlng-who for n long time have been
out of the employ of the society. One
of these draws a yearly salary Of
$4,000, another $4,000 and the third
$500. No clear explanation was Of
fered concerning this condition, but in
the case of the man long since dead 1t
was said that possibly the $4,000 q
year was being paid In the form Of d
pension to his widow.
Superintendent Hendricks at SYRIA
cuse said that he had just begun his
probing into the Equitable society and
that there were other serious abuses to
be uncovered.
August Belmont. 1t is learned, has
sent to Grover Cleveland his Resigns
ton from the Equitable board.
In discussing the Hendricks report
the governor said:
Il have not sufficiently examined
and no man could determine In one
reading just what future action Is de-
sirable. We at the present time have
many laws that 1t would seem from q
casual examination have been violated
some very old, older than our own,
Thou shalt not steal for instance.
Honesty and a fair deal,'' continued
the governor. "are the things much
needed in insurance management. Mu
tualization may improve conditions In
the Equitable, but it cannot correct
them altogether. l think that the in
vestments Of life insurance companies
should be standardized.
Mr.. Hyde. interviewed at New York
in regard to the Hendricks report,
said. Really | have nothing to say
Hyde's counsel said, 1T is a political
document and filed with claptrap and
buncombe."
Mr.. Tarbell said, MY idea Of 1t Is
that no guilty man should be permit
ted to escape the punishment he de
~serves.'
Mr.. Jerome said: Il have received
Mr.. Hendricks report. Ny action will
be based upon his findings"
Brayton Ives said, THE conclusions
OF Superintendent Hendricks are fully
Justified
Silent as the bronze statue Of the
founder of the society which stands in
the main arcade on Broadway were
the principal officers Of the Equitable
Life Assurance society. The report Of
superintendent of Insurance Hen
bricks fell like a bombshell among
them.

PUMP FOR IRRIGATION.
Water to Be Raised From Columbia
River ArtifjCialIV.

Walla Walla, March 22.-To raise
water from the Colubmia river by
pumps and convey it by bitches and
pipe lines over about 100, 900 acres of
land in the Echo section of Umatilla
county, is the latest move in irrigation
in Eastern Oregon.
Umatilla county capital is asld to
be back of the scheme, and plans for
carrying out the project are we'll in
hand. 1t is proposed to instell a large
pumping plant on either the Umatilla
river near Echo or the Columbia river
near Umatilla junction to raise the
water and carry it onto the lands
through large canal or pipe line.
Power to operate pumps will be fur
nished by the Northwestern Gas and
Electric Company, whose engineers are
now in the field making preliminary
surveys for extending the electric wires
from Pendlton to Echo.
The land that it is proposed to take
under the scheme lies in the Butter
creek country and contains about 1OO,-
900 acres. 1t was there that the gov
eminent at one time proposed to do
some reclamation work, but owing to
the fact that the engineers were unable
to find a suitable reservoir site, the
proposition was abandoned

PROSPECTS or PEACE.
Resumption of loan Ne citations said
to Indicate End of War.

Paris, March 25.-Prospects of peace
between Russia and Japan assumed a
more definite and almost tangible as
pect yesterday as result of the an
nouncement of the resumption of ne
gotiations for Russian loan.
Postponement of the loan occurred
through the stand taken by the finan-
cial element against proceeding while
the uncertainties of war continued,
while willingness to resume negoti-
ations was construed as meaning that
their strong influence had finally pre-
vailed with the authorities at St. Pc
tersburg.
Coupled with the announcement of
the resumption of the loan negotia-
tons came strong imitation from Off
cial and diplomatic quarters that steps
looking toward peace had been def
nitely taken by Russia. The foreign
office declined to confirm report that
France was likely to be the intermedi.
airy, but diplomats who are actively
interested for the first time gave credit
to the statement that Russia has de-.
cided to seek peace.

Good bye, father" As the train
started soldiers rushed forward in a
surging crowd and grasped the hand
rail of the generals car, throwing
their caps in the air and running some
distance with the car. The scene made
deep impression on Gen. Kuropatkin,
down whose face tears streamed. Re.
moving his cap he saluted again and
again and stood bareheaded on the
platform as long as the train was in
sight. The residents of Hardin are IN
