WORLD
Equitable Examination Brings
Daily Some Lower Of
fenSe to Light
Hartman Said to Be InvaIVed
but Able by Influence to
Prevent Publicity

New York, July 17.-Can Edward II.
Hartman dominate the Empire state
This is the cry that echoes throughout
the commonwealth today, on the heels
of a public uprising that clamors at
the doors Of the legislature for an in
vestigation into the scandalous graft
in the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety that plundered widows and or
phans of s16,OOO,0OO to 100000
within three years.
Hidden secrets far more noisome than
the disclosures in the Frick and Hend
ricks reports, creeping out through the
publication Of the transcript of the evil
dence taken during the last inquiry,
show that the revelations 80 far have
been but a scratch on the surface. The
trail leads to the millionaire railway
magnate, and the fact that IL has been
abandoned has plunged the state into
an uproar. Petition on petition, sup
ported by requests from the state as
sembly for an investigating committee,
have fallen vainly on the ears Of Gov.
ernor Higgins.
Jerome's Work Thwarted.
District Attorney Jerome has been
thwarted in his attempt to secure the
transcript that would enable him to
take the scandals to the grand jury
So far the entire movement has been
blocked--even as the researches Of the
Friek and the Hendricks Investigations
were bloeked-by the mighty leverage
moneyed interests exert socially and
politically.
Can Hartman thwart the entire state
in its attempt to drag the hideous Sc
crets Of the Equitable into the day

Harriman's Biggest Squeeze
The Union Pacific preferred deal was
built on the architectural lines that
seem to have been a hobby with the
fnanciers Of the Equitable. OF all the
schemes that "James J. Hyde and as
sociates, used in squeezing from $15,-
100000 to $20,OO0,0OO out of the syn.
dicate connected with the society, this
was perhaps the boldest in point of ex.
ecution and the greatest in scope and
in the personnel Of the talent implieat.
ed in the deal.
This is the deal that led Hartman
to useall the leverage at his command
to stife inquiry, and is the transac-
tion that is considered the fundamental
cause Of the whitewash by the Frick
committee, the lukewarmness Of the
Hendricks investigation and the at.
tempt to thwart a probing by the state
legislature. During his inquiry Hend-
ricks consistently refrained from fol.
lowing up leads connected with the
deal that might cause embarrassment
to the Hartman clique Of capitalists,
and in consequence it's innermost de.
tails are unknown.
Depew's Feelings Are Hurt.
Chicago, July 15.-A special cable
gram to the Daily News from Paris
says:
Senator Depew, who left for AK la
Chapelle, made the following state
ment to your correspondents;
"There seems 10 be some confusion
about my resignation as counsel to the
Equitable. Paul Morton cannot deny
that I called before sailing and placed
my resignation in his hands, but I
have made no statement that resigned
as Equitable director. / still hold that
office and propose to keep it. Reports
that I agreed to make good any posi-
BILE Equitable loss through the Depew
Improvement company are completely
false. No loss was foreseen. would
not have done so in any case. Ny role
from beginning to end in connection
with the Equitable will bear thorough
Investigation. When get home, may
make a statement which will show that
my relations with the Equitable were
not only honorable, but even involved
self sacrifice"
Depew is deeply wounded by the as
,ertions printed on this side regarding
The Equitable row. II casts the first
stain upon his public character. 81 do
rot desire to discuss further the Equit-
lble tangle at this moment" he ad-
led, "but such affirmations only show
/ cruel Misunderstanding Of my char.
leter and Of my dealings with the
Equitable. 4"
