under the influence and were made to
think that they were gathering up
money. They were down among the
spectators and in fun a man snapped
his fingers at one of the boys going
through the motions of making him
come out of it." The boy with the
thought that it was an attempt to take
his money struck the man. The ex-

ASK FULL INVESTIGATION
JOIN WITH STATE IN ASKING
THAT MATTER BE TAKEN
INTO COURT.
ILLEGAL ACTS NOT DENIED
EXCESSIVE FEES WERE PAID
OFFICERS UNDER GUlsE OF
SALARIES.

New York. Aug. 27.-The Equitable
Life Assurance society yesterday
joined with the State of New York In
askins for a full investigation in court
OF it directors and officers and their
alleged wrongdoing in managing the
moneys of the society. The document
which announced this determination
was the answer of the forty-nine Equi-
table directors to charges made
against them in connection with a
suit brought against the Equitable
Life Assurance society by the state.
This answer was filed with Attorney
General julius M. Mayer.
Admission is made that some off,
GERS of the Equitable have been guilty
of improper and illegal acts. In ALI
thirteen charges are answered by the
directors. Among these answers they
admit the $250,000 loan to the Depew
improvement compan.. They admit
the $6S4,000 loan of the Mercantile
Trust company, but deny responsible
ity in this loan so far as the board OF
directors is concerned, and name
Messrs. Alexander. Jordan and Dem
ing as the persons having the most in
innate knowledge of these transac-
tiOns.
Excessive Fees Paid.
The charge that excessive salariesE
were paid to officers of the Equitable,1
is not directly answered, but admie-s
sion is made that, under guise of SAL
aries, excessive fees were given to-
certain Equitable officers who were.
also directors in other companies. In
defense the answer states that the
practices were not known to the whole
board Of directors.
Outlining their belief as to the best
policy to pursue in fixing the blame for
the Equitable scandals, the directors
say, first, that the blame for alleged
cases of misconduct will be found tos
rest on individual officers and not
upon the directors as body. Having
made this explanation the answer adj
mits in general way the wrongdoing
charged.

TWENTY LIVES LOST At SEA.
American Steamer Sinks OF Coast Of
Fioida During a Gale.

Floida During Gale.
Fernandina, Fla, Aug. 30.-Twenty
men, constituting all but two of the
officers and crew of the American
steamship Peconic, bound from Phila-
delphia to New Orleans, with coal,
were drowned by the sinking OF that
vessel off the coast of Florida yester-
day The disaster was the result OF
fierce gale which ragged along the
coast during the night and early morn
ing. Lashed by the storm, an i'm
mense wave struck the vessel with
terrific force about 1890 o'clock yes
terday morning The impact, coming
just as the vessel was making turn,
caused shift of the cargo, and the
vessel leaned over and sank immedi-
ately. The accident
Occurred So Quickly
that only two of those aboard her
were able to save themselves. They
succeeded in getting into a lifeboat,
reaching Amelia Beach about noon,
and on landing told the story of the
G saster.
They said they were the only sur
vivors of the crew of the Peconic,
commanded by Capt Jones.
About midnight of Sunday, during
the heaviest part OF the storm, which
had ragged all day. the officer of the
deck gave the order to put further out
to sea, fearing they were approaching
the coast too nearly. In the endeavor
to turn the ship was struck with a
heavy sea; the cargo shifted, giving a
broadside, and she
Began Sinking Rapidly.
In less than ten minutes after the
alarm was sounded she had gone to
the bottom and no tract of her was
left upon the waters. The account OF
the escape of the two men out of all
the ships crew was remarkable.
One of these men was at the wheel
at the time the order was given, the
other upon watch. AS soon as the
ship began to careen these two men
rushed for one of the small boats,
which they jumped into as the vessel
began to go down. With their knives
they severed the ropes as the waters
level was reached, and the small boat
was thrown far out on the waves.
They furthermore say that they dis
covered through the blackness and
storm the figures of part of the
awakened crew who managed to
crowd into another of the ships
boats. This was, however,
Caught in Trough
of the sea, thrown violently against

Their pitiful cry for help could be
heard as the ship went down in the
sea which swallowed her up.
Alone through the balance of the
night, in the awful wash of the waters,
with the storm raging and threatening
each moment to swamp their small
boat. these two men were gradually
borne ashore taward Amelia island
landing just at IL a. N. yesterday
Their condition was pitiable, with all
the marks Of savage battle amid
tempestuous seas, clothing torn off
and death or shipwreck staring them
in the face.
They have testified to the correct
ness of the foregoing report before a
notary public, and the community
here cared for their wants.
