REVELATIONS
IN INSURANCE.
Profits Strangely Dis
appear Hughes Gets Aston
ishing Facts.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-The most
astounding revelations made since the
beginning of the Insurance investlga-
ton came to light through the testi.
mony of Henry Rogers Winthrop, as
sistant secretary of the Equitable Life.
Mr.. Winthrop showed that S134,OOO
paid over to the Equitable as profits in
syndicate transactions had strangely
disappeared and that expert account-
ants were hard at work on he compa-
ny's books trying to trace the missing
funds; that United States Senator De
pew and others had participated in
syndicate deals without the consent of
The finance committee, reaping profits
for themselves where the Equitable
alone put up the cash; that James III.
Hyde took $270,0 600 worth Of stock in a
transaction and that the Equitable
put up all the money for the deal; that
these syndicate deals, in which indi-
viduals preited at the expense of the
Equitable's policy holders, were for
the most part managed by Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., Jacob II. Schiff's firm (others
were with J. p. Morgan e CO... that the
Equitable, like the New York Life, *
ecuted dummy loans through minor
employees to wipe certain stock trans
actions off its books.
The checks for the missing sums
were Endorsed by Comptroller Jordan.
He has been discharged by the Equita-
bic and cannot be found.
1t was pointed out by observers that
these checks We're paid during the first
Mckinley campaign, and it was sug-
gested that the tracing of the checks,
which were all Endorsed by Comptrol-
Ter Jordan, would show the means,
hitherto mysterious, by which the
Equitable made its contributions to the
Republican fund, as did the New York
Life and other large insurance con-
Germs.
Jacob II. Schiff, it is announced by
Chairman Armstrong, will be called as
Il witness.
United States Senator Dryden, presi-
dent OF the Prudential Life, will also
be 4 witness.
Mr.. Schiff, one of the most eminent
of American bankers, will be asked to
explain the transactions between the
Equitable Life and Kuhn, Loeb & Co,
the firm of which he is the head.
Mr.. Schiff declared on oath before
Superintendent Hendricks that his firm
had no dealings with the Equitable, of
whose finance committee he was a
member.
He branded as false those records of
the Equitable which showed that mil
lions of dollars worth of Union Pacific
stock had been bought of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co.
George c. Van Tuyl, Jr., secretary
and treasurer of the Albany Trust
company since March 20, 1900, the
first witness, submitted to Chief In
vestigator Hughes Il statement of the
account of Judge" Andrew Hamilton
with Mr.. Van Tuyfs company.
The name of Senator Chauncey M. |
Depew was brought into the investi-
cation as one of the participants in a
81, 000, 900 Pennsylvania coal purchase
syndicate, in which nearly everybody |
connected with the Equitable Life APP
pears to have been a participant, to-
gether with the Equitable. The syndi-
cate was managed by j. I. Morgan &
Co.

OREGON LAND FRAUDS
True Bills Returned by Grand Jury
Against Tillamook Capitalist
and His Associates.

Portland, Ore. Aug. 25.-The federal
grand jury investigating the Oregon
land frauds today returned true bills
against Claude f Thayer, the Tilla-
nook capitalist. son of former Cover
nor Thayer of this state. together with
several other operators associated with
him. The significance of this action
Is empha sized by the fact that when
the Indictment was returned there re-
manned but six hours until the law
would have been powerless to reach
the crime.
After years of delay the notorious
Tiliamook land frauds are at last to be
brought before the courts. In Sep
TENDER. 1899 approximately 100 persons
made filings at the Oregon City land
office to enter timber lands in TilIa-
nook county. the lands being situated
in the famous NehaIem valley. 1t is
believed that after Claude Thayer and
his associates had secured d .-lSchaser
the net profits were to be divided The
allegations of fraud i'm the affidavits
of contest which were substantially
filed led TO the order for an investiga-
ton. The cases involve more money
value in timber lands than all the cases
which have been tried so far.

RRICE, Utah. Aug. 25.-The town has
been filled today with all kinds
OF rumors to the effect that the
lost Caleb Rhodes mine in the forest
reserve OF the Umtah reservation has
been found, but if sueh is the case no
authentic informa ton had reached here
up to late tonight. when the govern
ment telegraph line from here east was
closed for the night. The report was
run down this a1UernOOn by The Hsr-
aid correspondent. II appears that a
letter was received in Huntington yes
terday by man named Howard from
Bert Westover, the latter stating that
such was the case. and the that finders
had already begun to take out rich
quartz. This could not be confirmed
as the parties are tonight inaccessible
by telephone.
As stated in these dispatches few
days since j. r. Sharp and DR. A. w.
Dowd of Sunnyside, accompanied by
Mrs. Rhodes widow of Caleb Rhodes,
and Thomas Rhodes. a brother, from

AWAITING DEVELOPMENTS.
Russian People Hope Compromise is
Being Effected.

q St Petersburg. Aug. 20. , a. M
Every body in st. Petersburg is await
ing the Developments of today in the
peace moves and hoping that COM
promise is being effected, the most like
~ basis of which. it is believed. would
be no Indemnity. but a payment for
Sakhaiin to be left for future adjust
ment.
In fact, il was asserted yesterday in
an exceptionally well informed quarter
that this was the only possible basis for
a compromise.
The belief is expressed in some quar-
tiers that there will be no session AT
Portsmouth today and the Associated
Press is informed on excellent author
ity that a further adjournment could
be taken as a most hopeful sign, as it
would prove that serious efforts look
ing to a compromise were continuing.
Up to o'clock last evening Ambas-
. sadeF Meyer had received no message
from Washington. The idea that Pres
ident Roosevelt might again communi-
cate with the emperor through the
American ambassador finds credence in
certain official quarters. The exchange
of kilograms between Portsmouth and
the foreign Office continues, but the ma
ture of these dispatches is a most care
fully guarded secret. It can be as

payment of indemnity would be most
unweicOme, though a sincere desire for
peace leaves her open for the sugges-
ton of compromise on other grounds
Russia is showing no nervousness re-
garding the outcome of the negotia-
tions. The emperor is calm and serene,
and evidences \of confidence in his de-
cisiOn and the course he is pursuing in
the conviction that Russia has con-
coded all she can, are noticeable among
