GRINNELL, Iowa. Nov. 20.-An in

here last Saturday between Ames ana
Grinnell was the presence Of repre-
sentatives of the Humane society on
the sidelines watching for any case
of unnecessary brutality and rough
ness which might occur during the
progress Of the game.
President Hale Bump stated before
the game that he was not opposed to
the game when properly played, but
that he was opposed to the unexcused
roughness which is characteristic or
so many games. The Humane So
ciety proposes to aid President Roose-
Welt in his reform movement in FOOT
ball as it is played at present The
game turned out to be the cleanest
game seen here this season and no oc-
casion was given for the action OF the
Humane society. According to state
law the detention OF any player for tho
period of three hours might have been
caused on mere suspicion.

Ground for State Institution On
the Sound.

Money taken from the inmates OF
the Steilacoom asylum was Dor
rowed" by the state board of control
to complete the purchase of ninety-two
acres of land adjoining the asylum
grounds. This tract of land was pur-
chased from w. A. Simpson for SIS

All the money left in the contingent
fund, $4S105. was diverted for the &C

nance fund or any other sources to
complete the purchase.

JOSEPH JORDAN
ON TIE STAND

SACRAMENTO, April 21-The new
feature Of Joseph S. Jordan's testimony
in the trial of Harry Bunkers, charged
with bribery, to-day had to do with the
seeking Of legal advice by Jordan from
Attorney H. w. johnson of San Fran
cisco prior 10 testifying before the
Senate Committee.
In answer TO a question as to how
he came 10 be a witness before the
Senate investigating committee Jordan
said he had been offered no immunity
for testifying. He said he had been
subpenaed and that Attorney Hiram
W Johnson told him that if he took
the stand that would be a bar to all
criminal prosecution, so far as he was
concerned.
On redirect examination the witness
said that his attorney had read to him
the section of the law providing that
should he testify. prosecution for any,
thing but perjury in his case would be
barred. The impelling reason, how
ever. was because TREY L. Ford, at
torney for the United Railways in San
Francisco. had advised him as a friend.
not as q lawyer. TO go on the stand and
tell the whole truth.
An objection that what was said at
the conference by others than Bunkers
could have no hearing as a confession
and could not be admitted was over
ruled. The witness said he did not
like to divIlge what was said by 9TH
ers at the conference without first
consulting Attorney Johnson. Judge
Hart said the District Attorney could
Insist upon a reply if he desired to do
so. District Attorney Seymour said he
did not feel like compelling the wit
ness TO proceed without consulting his
attorney. and in the end Jordan was
excused from further testimony until
such time as he might have conferred
with Lawyer Johnson in San Fran
cisco.
An absent witness caused adjourn
ment, by agreement, until Monday
morning.

EQUITABLE MUSS PLACED

AppeaI Made to Authorities of
State of New York.
SOCIETY FACES MORE LITIGATION

ALBANY. n. Y, April 21.-The af-
fairs of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society were laid before Governor
Higgins at the executive chambers this
afternoon by the committee of thirty
five of the managing agents of the So
ciety, which earlier in the day at
Syracuse had made an appeal for the
naturalization of the society to Super
intendent Hendricks of the State In
surance Department. The views OF
the agents were presented to the Gov
ernor by John Bowes. manager for the
Equitable at Baltimore, as chief
spokesman. The agents also presented
to the Governor the resolutions adopt
ed earlier in the week at the agents
convention in New York City.
Governor Higgins made very evil
dent his appreciation of the great Seri-
business of the situation in the EQuit
able Society. His reply to the agents
was greeted with applause. He said
that the Governor and Legislature had
not the power to settle the Equitable
difficulty; that the matter was in the
courts. properly, he thought. He con-
tinued:
Il do not feel at the present moment
that l can assure you as to whether
the time will come in the immediate
future when it will seem to me wise to
communicate with the Legislature and
ask it to pass any particular bill in
reference to the Equitable Life; but
/ can say to you this, with the utmost
frankness and sincerity, that at all
times shall be interested more in the
interests of the policy-holders of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society than
in the interests of any other person or
party connected with it. And if 1
ro frrr-
ther the interests of those policy
holders, IL 1 should come to that con-
clusion, you can rest assured that no
act will be left undone by me that will
bring about better conditions for that
society

APPEAL TO HENDRICKS.
Insurance Superintendent in Favor of
naturalization Plan.

SYRACUSE, N Y, April 21.-Prefer
ably naturalization, the turning over
of substantial interests to the policy
holders, or some other remedy to re-
lieve the embarrassing situation in
the affairs of the Equitable Life As
surance Society, was the burden of the
request made of superintendent Of In
surance Francis Hendricks by the
committee of general agents who laid
their wishes before him here to-day.
About forty members of the special
committee of seventy-two, appointed
at the meeting of general agents re-
Gently held in New York, were pres
ent at the conference held at noon in
Superintendent Hendricks office at the
State Bank of Syracuse, of which he is
president. Among the prominent
agents present were: wynan Ellis.
Helena. Mont; w. S. Bowen, Albu-
oueroue. N M; j. H: Allenberg,
Spokane Mr. Hendricks said:
LAS far as the naturalization of the
company is concerned l have already
expressed myself very clearly. l am
very much in favor of that outcome
/ am not sure, however, that you can
obtain the relief by legislation. OF
course / speak to you as Superintend-
ent of Insurance. You know l have no
control over the Legislature and can
not say what that body will do. The
question has got to be determined by
the courts. If Judge Maddox decides
that / have no power to put in force
the amended charter, an appeal will
be made either to the Court Of Ap-
peals or the United States courts.
Il will tell you frankly that l do not
believe the Lord suit was instituted by
Hyde interests. Mr.. Lord is only anx-
ious that / shall not approve the
amended charter for the reason that he
believes that the value of his own
stock would be endangered by such
approval
The first proposition, you know. l
refused to accept The second one,
which is now in the hands of the At
rney-General, / am disposed to ac-
cept 1t provides that the policy hold
ers elect 2S of the fifty-two directors
and l believe that under it, it viii be
only a question of time when the pol
icy holders will be in full control.
II will assure you, though, that
whether legislation is feasible or not,
I'm heartily in favor of naturalization.
Before we get through the insurance
department will disclose absolutely if
there are dummy directors. You can
rely on this. When we get done. We
will tell you the true condition of that
society. 1 can't say how long it will
take. whether days, weeks or months,
but It will be thoroughly done.
Meantime the Frick committee has
asked questions of the officers which
will take them thirty or forty days to
answer.
After the conference the agents gen.
erally expressed satisfaction at the re-
ception by Hendricks and with his
statement.
