New York. May 5.--The Evening Post today published the following:
 An informal meeting of the directors of the Equitable Life Assurance Society not including its executiv eofficers. has been called for next Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

It is known that at least one director will demand that the three officers be suspended and that the affairs of the society be put in the hands of a steering committee of the directors.
 The Evening Post adds that a strong element among the directogs who have been called dummy directors" will resist any attempt to relieve the pres ent officers of their responsibilities un- til the full facts concerning all past alleged irregular financial transactions have been made public.
 The Evening Posts statement added:
 Tt was regarded as significant that the executive officers were not invited to attend Mondays meeting. The call for the meeting is regarded as by far the most significant development of the past ten days. It was unsigned.

AFTER TOBACCO TRUST.
Federal Grand Jury at New York Tn- vestigating.

New York, May 5.--It became known today that the Federal grand Jury for some time past has been conducting Q secret investigation into certain mat ters concerning the American Tobacco Company and its subsidiary companies, The investigation is being made by Henry W. Taft, brother of the Secreta- ry of War, who has been appointed a special assistant United States Attor- ney for that particular purpose. He has as assistant Felix H. Levy, who was recently appointed special Unit ed States Attorney General. MT. Taft Is authority for the statement that the investigation is being made under the provisions of the antitrust law.
 The proceedings in the grand jury room were secret, but 1t became known that Edwin F. Hale. secretary of the McAndrews and Forbes Company. one of the subsidiary companies. refused to answer questions when he was called; taking the ground that to do so would tend to incriminate and degrade him and that the answers would be too vol luminous When the grand jury filed a presen tment before Judge Lacomoe Tn the United States Circuit Court, how ever. Hale was directed to reply to the questions. It was through Hale's re- fusal to answer questions that the fact that the investigation was in progress became public
 The motion calendar of Judge La- combe's court had been completed to- day when the grand jury filed into the courtroom. They were accompanied by Mir. Taft and Mir. Levy and with them also were lawyers John D. Lindslay and DeLancey Niccol. counsel for Hale. Hale was brought in a moment later by United States Marshal Henkel. He was not under arrest, however. The foreman of the grand jury then handed the presentment to Judge Lacombe. It contained list of qustions which Mir. Taft informd the court Hale had refus- ed to answer after appearing in obe- dience to subpoenas.
 The witness was instructed to an- swer the questions and the witness and grand jury returned to the jury room. MT. Taft later refused to discuss the nature of the investigation, which he said. would not be made public until after the examination of the witness is concluded

In French Wntern.

Tokio May 5.-Popuiar attention is now centered on the presence of the second Russian squadron in French waters. While the assurance of France relating to the Kamranh Bay incident were generally accepted. the later dis covery that the Russian ships contin- ued their stay in Samranh Bay. and then entered other French ports, has created a feeling of keen disappoint- ment, rapidly growing deeply resentful. The local press charges France with bad faith, and repeats the demands for independent action upon the part of the Japanese government. The conserva- tive element Is awaiting Frances re- sponse in explanation. hoping that that government will finally expel the Rus sian Read Admiral RoJestvensky from its waters.

 The Hide and Leather Association, one of the Team Owners Association, today decided to make deliveries to all firms regardless of whether they were involved in the strike or not. Should the teamtsers decide to call out the union drivers employed by the firm 1t would affect 6.500 men.
 At a meeting of furniture manufac- turers held this afternoon at the Well ington Hotel. it was resolved that all teamsters employed by the firms rep resented would make deliveries or be discharged. The Tasting Express Company. employing fifty drivers, to- day ordered its men to deliver goods whenever they were directed and upon their refusal discharged them all.
 Mus Face Famine.
 Many grocers interviewed in differ ent parts of Chicago today declared that by the middle of next week. if the strike continues. Chicago will be facing the most acute famine in many years. After the walk-out of the driv- CTS of the larger wholesale grocers, the regular customers of these compa- nies wer enotifed that they would be furnished goods If they would call with their own wagons. The retail grocers, however. were either turned away by union pickets. or, if they did drive to the house and load their wagon, they ran the risk of having their loads overturned. With these conditions the retail grocers Transferred their trade to the smaller wholesale houses. The business of these concerns increased from 50 to 10e per cent. The conse- quence was that the drivers for these firms have gone out one by one, as boy colt qualifications spread.
 Especially in canned goods Is there a shortage in grocery stores. Grocers run low at thls time of the year, be- cause fresh vegetables begin to come in. But with the vegetable supply cut more than 50 per cent. because the ex- press companies will not handle 1t, the demand for canned goods has been es- pecially heavy. Flour. beans. sugar. rice, salt, tea. etc, are said to be fast giving out, not to mention worse scar city of butter and eggs.
 Fire tonight broke out In the coal yard of the Peabody Coal Company at the intersection Of 2sth Street and the Pennsylvania Railroad. The damage was slight The flames were first dis covered by the engineer of passing who sounded the alarm. A large crowd soon gathered but no one turned in an alarm. The reason for this is explained by the feeling against the Peabody Company. which Is strong factor in the teamsters' strike. The blaze was seen from a distance by a policeman who notified the Fire De- partment. The police declared that the fire was caused by an inceudiary.

TO PREVENT A JUNCTION

St. Petersburg. May 5.--(1:55 D. m.)- Admiral Rojestvensky. according to a high naval authority has sailed south to meet the division of the Russian second Pacific squadron commanded by Admiral Nebogatoff The admiralty has information that Japanese divis- ion of fast cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers was sent south for the pur- pose, If possible, of crippling CT de- stroying Nebogatoffs ships before they could effect al junction with those of Rojestvensky, and there Is reason to believe that the Japanese took up a position in the Straits of Sunda, through which Nebogatoff originally intended to make the passage into the north sea.
 There Is also reason to believe that Nebogatoff first approached she Straits of Sunday but finding them too well guarded put about and headed north for the Straits of Malacca, his division lacking the protection of fast cruisees and being at a great disadvantage of meeting torpedo boat attacks.
 The admiralty expressed much grati- fication at the fact that Admiral Ne- bogatoff has successfully reached the China Sea. but appreciates that the composition of his division renders 1t particularly vulnerable to a swift ad- versary, especially as the crews of his ships have not had the training in man. euvering or target practice which Ad- miral Rojestvensky's crews had while off the Island of Madagascar and the anxiety here will only be completely relieved when 1t is known that june tion has been effected.
 The Russ today announces that Cap tain Clado has been made staff cap tain. Clado was Admiral RoJestven- sky's chief tactician until the North Sea incident. He recently was reap pointed to special service fin connection with vessels navigating rivers in tho theatre of war.

stlll TnlIxing Neutrnllty.

Paris, May 5.-The Japanese repre- sentatives here continue to make ai- most daily visits to the foreign office TOT the purpusp 0f ihArning what steps are being taken to compel tho Russian second Pacific squadron to maintaiRa the neutrality of French waters and also to prevent the information reach ing Tokio showing that the Russian warships are receiving supplies from French ports. These visits have led to the publication of reports that Dr. Monoton, the Japanese minister, has submitted another protest on the sub ject. This Is not correct, the visits not as yet having resulted in the re- newal of the Japanese protests. How ever, 1t is evident that the Japanese are showing growing solicitude and their repeated visits give more press ing character to the representations each day concerning the location of the Russian ships.
 It appears to be conceded that they arc outside the three-mile limit so the question no longer hinges upon their being within French territorial waters. But the Japanese information indicates that the Russians. while they are outside neutral limits, keep up communication with the shore. thus re- taining the practical advantages of re- mainIng inside neutral waters. Ad- miral DeJonquieres departure from Saigon with a portion of the French squadron was for the purpose of car rylng out the strict orders sent to him from here against permitting any in- fringement of neutral rights, particu- larIy along the coast about Cape St. James, where the Japanese information indicate the Russians have secretly been taking supplies on board.
 dispatch to the Hava's agency from St, Petersburg says Admiral RoJest- vensky has informed the Russian Ad miralty of the presence of Japanese war ships in the territorial waters of the Dutch portion of the Island of Bor- neo. If the reports are verified. 1t Is added, Russia will protest to the Meth erlands Government.
