HAYS BODY LAID TO RESI-

Pittsburgh, July 5.-The Presidents
train arrived here as a special from
Cleveland at $50 p. m, exactly on sched-
ule time and at o'clock left for the
east.
At the station quite large crowd had
gathered to greet the President but no
formal reception was given him. After
repeated calls for a speech, the President
came out to the rear platform of his car
and said:
MY friends l should not be expected
to make a speech on this occasion as l
am returning from the funeral of Mr..
Hay, who was a friend of all the people
and for who / had dep affection AS
have expressed myself before l am always
glad to be in Pittsburg and am sorry that
my time is so short. Good night"
Held informal Conference.
President Roosevelt passed the after
noon and evening after leaving Cleveland
in informal conference with his cabinet
officers and friends on board his special
train. At lis p. M, the train drew out
of the union station at Cleveland and
ran to Wheelock siding, seventeen miles
east of Cleveland, where 1t remained until
S:45 o'clock when the trip to Oyster Bay
was resumed. During the run to Wheelock
and the brief stay there luncheon was
served, the President having as his per-
sonal guests Elihu Root, Paul Morton,
Charles Emory Smith. Secretary Shaw,
Attorney General Moody, Postmaster
General Cortelyou and Dr. Rixey.
During the afternoon the President took
up some important matters with the
members of his cabinet individually but
no announcement was made concerning
them.
The President talked long and earnestly
with Former Secretary Root, who has
been almost constantly with him since he
Joined him in Jersey City yesterday. 1t
Is yet too early to make any announce
tAt regarding the successorship to Sec
rotary Hay. 1t is known that the SUBJ
ject was considered Informally by the
President today with the friends aboard
the train, in whom he reposed the most
implicit confidence.
1t is not unlikely the President may
authorize statement in the near future
regarding the appointment but he has
not indicated yet. at least for publiea-
ton. who his choice may be for Sec
rotary of State.
The train from Cleveland to this city
was without notable incident although
at every station through which the train
passed, crowds Of people had collected
to catch glimpse of the President

nearly 10000 persons in Armory hall. Whie
almost entirely musical, it was In every
sense meeting for worship and the bow

VIII ACT on the Accountants DiscOv-
eries--The Directors Are TO Get No

Chairman Paul Morton OF the Equitable

ment last night:
Mr.. Morton has retained Messrs. Austen
@. Fox and Wallace Macfarlane as special
counsel for the Equitable society in con-
nection with the investigation OF the past
financial transactions OF the society by
Price, Waterhouse d Co. and Haskins II
Sells, chartered accountants. which Is
now in progress. and to institute such legal
proceedings AZ they may consider to be
appropriate for the recovery Of any money
and property to which the Equitable Is
found to be entitled as the result Of their
examination. Messrs. Fox and Macfar-
lane have been instructed to put them
selves in communication with the Attorney
General and the Insurance department
and to act In harmony with them"
Mr.. Fox was chairman of the commute
Of nine which recently reported on police
conditions In this city. He WAS associated
with the late Daniel G. Rollins as special
counsel to prosecute police officials who
Lexow committee.
Mr.. Mscfarlane was appointed by Grover
Cleveland In 1894 AZ United States Attorney
for the Southern District Of New York.
He was a member OF the Fairchild Custom
House investigating COMMITTEES, appointed
by Secretary John G. Carlisle, and served
az counsel for the committee. He also was
associate counsel for the city with James e..
Carter In the Aqueduct cases. Mr.. Mac.
farlane has FOR many years been friend
Of Mr.. Cleveland.
II was regarded last night rs significant
that these two men, both of whom have
had experience In reform work, should
have been selected Mr. Morton's formal
announcement that he will cooperate with
the Attorney General and the Department
Of Insurance in the proceedings il in ac-
cord with the statements made in The

Mr. Morton also made the following i'm
portant announcement last night
1T has been the rule in the Equitable

and these allowances have been paid to
directors whether present or absent Mr..
Morton has changed this. No director
will get fees unless present and no officer
or employee who happens TO be director
will hereafter receive ANYTHING for attend
ing board meetings Of any kind.
This reform is In keeping with the criti-
cism made on the matter in Supt. Hendricks
report. The State Superintendent showed
that the society up to June 81 of the present
year had disblrsed $ll.2OO in fees to direc-
tors and members of the different commit
tees.
The announcement Of this reform by the
new management was hailed last night as
another evidence that Chai"nau Morton
intended to 60 to the bottom Oh things
and make his reform sweeping.
1t was said yesterday that beginning with

meetings OF the board Of directors of the
society instead Of the quarterly meetings

LESS TENSION AT BERLIN.
RumOrs Of Mutual French and Germ An
Concessions on Morocco.
Special caols Despatch 10 THE SUN.

.spseta! caoIs Despatch 10 THE SUN.
BERLIN, June 2s,-While there is no In
dication that Germany has receded from
her attitude regarding Morocco there ia
undeniably relaxation in the recent ten
sion. The semi official newspapers, which
we're lately aggressive and even threatenin &
toward France, have moderated their tone,
some asserting that Germany Is actually
exceedingly anxious for friendly settle
ment.
The relations between Chancellor Won
Buelow and NJ. Blhourd, the French Am
bassador. are again declared to be most
amiable. 1t would seem, indeed, that there
has been an order given from the highest
source to take a more oonciliatory tone to
allay the general unessinsss and prevent a
premature explosion.
All inquiries regarding the contents
Of Germany's reply to France have failed
to draw out any positive information. but
there L. every indication that the note
will do little, II anything, to effect a settle
ment
Those having acce SO to the best source
of information concur In the belief that it
will be found to be studiously polite. even
friendly in Its wording, but will virtually
amount to the assertion that Germany
can do nothing until France announces her
decision regarding a conference and that
Germany cannot assent to prescribing
subjects from discussion.
On the other hand. there are rumors in
certain quarters Of mutual concessions.
which can only be recorded without COM
ment. They are to the effect that Germany
has agreed to withdraw her Minister from
Fee until conference il summoned, France
having consented to a conference.
Meanwhile individual politicians here
are trying to throw oil on the troubled sea
OF diplomacy. The aged Baron Kardoff
leader Of the Free Conservatives in the
Reichstag. writes, strongly urging pacific
policy, saying that Morocco is not worth
quarreling about. He hopes that Prince
Won Buelow will convince France that Ger
many does not want a quarrel
DR.. Barth the Radical leader, declares
that the mass Of the German people would
regard war over such a subject a crime.
He advocates a loyal, sincere entente, not
only between France and Germany but
between France, Germany and Great
Britain.
1t WIS learned that Prince Won Radolin.
the German Ambassador to France. will
see Prime Minister Rouvier tomorrow,
when a statement probably will be issued.

KRECH NOT ~ SlNDICATES.
Supt. Hendricks COrrects Statements About
Equitable Trust Company President.


ALBANY, June 2e.-State Superintendent
OF Insurance Francis Hendricks to-day
issued statement relative to his report
on the Equitable Life Assurance Society,
correcting the announcement that Alvin
W. Krech had participated in the syndi-
cate transactions while director of the
society Mr.. Hendricks's statement says;
Il wish to correct an error in the pre-
liminary report. In the discussion of the
syndicate transa actions the report says:
All these gentlemen (including Alvin W.
Krech. president of the Equitable Trust
Company who divided these profits We're
directors Of the society and six of them
members of the executive and finance
committees
mir. Mcintyre. testifying as to the par
ticular -yndicates in which MIR, Krech par
ticipated, said: The two men in that list
MIR. Mcintyre and MIR. kreoh were not
members of either the executive or finance
committee
-Furthermore,. in the letter from Mr.
Hyde to MIR. Frick. copy of which was
served on me, red stars appear tefore tho
names of MIR. Mcintyre and Mr.. krech,
calling special attention to the following
foot note Not member of executive or
finance committees
MIR. Mcintyre was a director of the
society. and the inference was drawn by
the Friok committee rs well "a myself
that Mr.. Krech was also. However, since
the publication of the report | have re-
ceived the certificate OF MIR. Hyde that these
syndicate transactions were closed on July
Is. 1904, and the certificate of William Alex
ander, secretary of the society, that Mr..
Krech was first elected director on August
3, 1904. 1t follows, therefore, that his par
ticipations In the syndicate transactions
were terminated twenty-one days before
he became director. ! am pleased to
make this correction"
