That Mrs. Mary Dean May
Soon Be Arrested
In Nova Scotia Unless She Has
Sailed for Continent.
Her Work in Escaping Officers Shows Re.
markahle hene...A Few Possibilities.

Portland, Ne, Nov. 15.-There is a
growing belief that Mrs. Dean will be
arrested in Nova Scotia, unless she has
succeeded in taking passage on some
outgoing steamship for England.
She is thoroughly familiar with at
least that portion of Nova Scotia in
Guiding Halifax and all points within
many miles, and any information she
might lack would be given her there
Mrs. Dean is sharp enough TO give
the officers of the law any amount of
trouble. Surprising she actually did
check a trunk from Windsor junction
for Portland via St. John, and that it
is the trunk Marshal Sylvester has
tried hard to find, some one must have
gone with it, or a letter sent with the
check. 1t is more reasonable to suppose
that someone did come with the bag
gage, although of course a letter en-
ciousing the check might have reached
some one here, early Friday morning,
and the trunk taken from the baggage
room of the Union Station without at
tracing observation or thought
1t is SAID that in country places there
Is at least some degree of laXity in
checking baggage without seeing a
ticket to the point of destination. 1t is
at least possible that this might have
occurred at Windsor Junction, especial
iy if there happened to be a rush of
business at the time.
The holiness of Mrs. Deans move
ments makes almost anything possible
in her case. Her going back to Boston,
Oct. II, and openly removing her eff
feCts from the famous house showed
courage of a very high order. She
might have returned here, found how
the investigation has become, and
sought at least temporary safety in
Nova Scotia again, in other words
doubled back a second time.
That has been suggested as a posi-
bic solution of the mystery of her
movements. That she did go from
Boston to Halifax and possibly from
that city to Maitland, Arbania and
other points where she is understood
to have relatives and friends, and then
have gone to Windsor Junction, doub-
led back to Portland. possibly had a de-
coy trunk Of no value sent to New
York or some other point. and then
have deliberately doubled back to Hall
fax, this time by boat, it may be. and
to be now in comparatively safe hiding
in Nova Scotia.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
the way Inspector Pierce of the Boston
police department and Sheriff Pencil
and Marshal Sylvester here worked up
every detail of the Portland end of the
great case. Deputy Pickett, who work.

report, telling him that he would stand
by him through thick and thin.
Mr.. Hyde was the first witness of the
day. He told of four offers for his
stock, beside that of Mr.. Ryan, to
whom he sold. These offers were made
by Mr.. Prick and Mr.. Hartman, by
George Gould. by Gage Z. Tarbell,
representing a syndicate. and by
George w. Young. These were made
verbally and the largest was made by
Mr.. Young. former president of the
United States Mortgage and Trust Co.,
who offered $1,000, 900. Mr.. Hyde said
he declined all these offers, because he
did not think it to the best interests of
the society to accept any of them.
Mr.. Ryan made the only offer for the
stock after the Frick report. Mr.. Hyde
started to read a statement in reply to
the criticism of Supt. Hendricks on the
safe deposit companies controlled by the
Equitable, but it was marked for identi-
/ fication and put in evidence without its
| reading being finished. and will be con-
Sidered by the committee in its report of
| its revelant matter. Mr. Hyde was eX-
| cused while George H. Squire, Jr., a stock
| broker, and son of the former financial
| manager of the Equitable Life. was call
| ed to explain some transactions of his
! fathers. He told how his firm sold stock
of the Lawyers Title Insurance and Trust
Co. for his fathers account to the Amer

AIr. Hyde was again called and said
| this was the first he had heard of these
| transactions. He said in answer to Sen
ator Armstrong that his powers Of attor-
| ney were destroyed when he returned
| from Europe always, but that if an OBJ

! to have been made while he was abroad,

| Hyde was called again and asked If he

| that he had He reaffirmed his previous
Testimony and supplied data about several
| questions concerning which Mr. Harr-
| man was uncertain.
Samuel Untcrmeyer, counsel for Mr..
| Hyde, attempted to cross-examine Mr..
Hartman, but the committee after con

derby manner.
Late in the day Mr.. Hyde threw the

Massachusetts, of which Mr. Whitney.
recently a candidate for lieutenant
governor of Massachusetts was a
member. He said that Mr.. Whitney
had misquoted him in the campaign
closed a few days ago and declared
that he was constrained to believe"
that Mr.. Whitney had deliberately
misrepresented what had occurred"
The address of the President follows:
"Gentlemen-I thank you for having
taken the trouble to come here; l am
| indeed glad to see you, not only in your
personal capacities. but as represen-
| tatives of one of the great business in
dustries Of the country.
/ Your petition and suggestions, I
need hardly say, shall have my most
careful consideration. The great in
terests you represent are exceedingly
important; their welfare is of concern
to the whole country; 1t deserves and
will surely receive the painstaking at
| tention of both the President and Con.
gress. 1t is Of course. unnecessary to
point out that no change in the tariff
can be made keeping in view only the
interests or desires of one state or one
locality; the law must first take
tangible shape in the lower house of
Congress and must therefore thor
oughly correspond to the sentiments
of the citizens of several states as
expressed through their representatives
therein Where the interests, and
therefore the sentiments based on
these interests. are diverse. as Is al
most invariably the case, in reference
to the details of all tariff matters, the
law must normally although not in
variably represent a compromise and
mutual concessions; and no one out
side of Congress can definitely foretell
the exact shape such a compromise
will ultimately take.
1T is my duty to state that before
receiving this committee, l had re-
ceived letter from the governor ELECT
of Massa chusetts. the Hon. Curtis
Guild. Jr. In this letter, evidently the
first he has written in what may be
called the official character with which
he is now vested by the SURFACES of
his fellow citizens, he urges in the
strongest terms an immediate revision !
of the tariff and especially removing
the duty from hides.
Il should like to discuss the whole
situation with you freely and infor-
HldlIy. But lily cAPCii-
ence with a committee from your state,
Governor Douglas. which called on me
in connection with tariff matters about
a year ago forbids my doing So Such
free, full and necessarily informal
and tentative discussion is obviously
OF benefit only If those joining in 1t
recognize as matter Of honorable
obligation the duty of not attempting
to give from memory what must nee
assarily be an imperfect and garbled
version of what takes place.
When the President Of the United
States definitely and formally express
es himself for publication on a ques-
ton of great national Importance what
he says should not be left to the i'm
perfection of memory often coiored by
interest. but should be put beyond the
possibility Of misunderstanding by
careful preparation and committal to
writing"
