THE EXTRAORDINARY POWER OF JAMES HAZEN
HYDE IN AFFAIRS OF THE EQUITABLE LIFE.
His Raiment His Reves and the Charges Made by Those
Who Would Deprive Him of Control.

brother Of the clergyman, became
president of the new company; Hyde
became vice president and general
manager, and the son and namesake
of the clergyman, James w. Alexan-
der, became secretary. He is now
president.
For 40 years Hyde was the domi-
nant man in the company, although
he did not appear to have stock
domination uatil comparatively recent
years, when it was rumored that
Napoleon" Ives of Wall street fame
was trying to buy a stock control of
the Equitable society. Hyde there
upon set himself to buying m the
stock of the company. lie found it
widely distributed and not very high
ly regarded, since all told there was
only 100000 worth Of 1t, ard its
dividend fixed at per cent. But lie
acquired 81 per cent Of this stock
and left it as a heritage to his OILY
son.
This son. James TIazcn Hyde was
born in New York in 1876. Henry b.
Hyde had then become n very wealthy
man and was the associate of very
wealthy men. The growing son had
all the
Surroundings of Afduence
and very early, while in Paris, con-
tracted a love for things French.
But as the young man grew his
tastes. for dress at least took the
boulevard type--eXaggerated patterns
and glazing colors in garments, osten-
tatious neckwear, straig ht-brimmed
silk hats. He also affected the Henry
~. pointed beard. and his hair was
cut to stand straight, with curious
kind OF ruffie wrought by some mys-
FERROUS art in fro"t He was tall ana
slender Of physique, and this with
his singular dress made him the OBJ
served of all observers.
This young man who might well
be mistaken for the walking model
for eccentric French boulevard cloth
ing and haberdashery, was soon after
his fathers death, in 1898. elected to
the board of directors of the Equita-
bic society end was made first vice
president, the contention Of his
friends now being that it was COM
monty known at that time in the So
ciety mana cement that it had been
the elder IIyde's wish to have his
son some day come to the presidency
of the company.
The elder Hyde had begun his work
to build up the society on salary
of $4,000 a year. This salary has
been steadily enlarged until it be-
came 100000. And this was the sal
airy on which the son began his work
for the society.
Perhaps because he had this large
salary and perhaps because he soon
was t. come into unshared possession
of the majority stock-the young
man may hove done some of the
things of which he now stands ac-
cused and as to which the state in
surance commissioner and a special
committee of the society are investi-
eating the books of the society at
this time.
These charges are various. One
set Of them relates to salaries. Hyde

PARIS, july 10 - There are all the ele-
ments of three act furte In u true story
from Cholet. A certain NJ. Legrand, II
member of ChoIetI town council having
become insane. was placed by the Mayor
In charge OF two citizens, who were ordered
to take him to madhouse at Anjers
Legrand was not very docile ami ths
escort took him to a saloon and filed him
with drink. The result was that all three
arrived at the asylum In such state OF
into ication that the director was unable
to tell which was the lunatic so he tele-
graphed to the Mayor Of Cholet asking
which was the crazy man. The Mayor
replied "Legrand,' but the operator trans
mitted 1t ale grand" (the tall one). The
trio were then measured and the tallest,
who was one Of the escorts. was placed In
straitjacket.
After eight days the victims wife COM
planned Of desertion. She received visit
from Legrand who told her alphabetically
that her husband had gone mad and that he
himself had taken him to the asylum.
The whole affair thus came to light. But
the truly fardoal conclusion Of the affair
~ that the sane mans reason was 30 un.
hinged by his confinement that he could only
be Professionally released dnder strict medi-
cal surveillance, while the lunatic, Legrand,
was declared not to be sufficiently insane
to be placed In an asylum.

Parliamentary Redistribution "a

LONDON, July 15,-The Governments
proposal in regard to the redistribution OF
Parliamentary seats while naturally re-
ceived with the greatest bitterness by the
Irish party and the opposition, Is coming
in for considerable criticism from its own
party. The scheme keeps the membership
OF the House OF Commons at $40. The
standard unit of population in relation to
each representative Is now about $4,000.
with proviso that no constituency under
5000 shall return member. The new
scheme raises the minimum to 1850 and
the standard unit to $500, Az result
England will gain II seats. Wales, 1, and
Scotland 4. while Ireland will lose 20.
The Irish hostility to the new proposals
does not need explanation. The point
most widely urged is that 1t is a breach Of
the Act Of Union in depriving Ireland OF
any Of the hundred members provided for
her in that document. The Liberals con-
denn the scheme as piece Of gerTyman-
dering which makes victims Of the counties
in order to preserve the petty boroughs
which are SO useful to the Conservative
party. Conservative criticism demands a
wider measure and regrets are expressed
that the scheme leaves a number Of small
corrupt bOroughs untouched.

NAVY DEPARTMENT.,
WASHINGTON. July IA, 1905.
SIR: have the honor to enclose a letter
from the Office of Naval Intelligence sug-
costing a change in the names assigned
to the two squadron Golfers about to be built
and heretofore designated as the Erie

telligence proposes for these ships the names
Diamond and Pearl The endorsement
of the Bureau of Navigation concurs in the
opinion of the Chief Intelligence Officer
that the names of these GOLFERS should be
changed. but does not approve of the names
suggested. and recommends Nestor and
Orestes as suitable new names. The bureau
likewise indicates its belief that the Presi-
dent only has power to change the names
of vessels.
'Ientirely concur in the view OF the bureau
hat only the President has power, under
the law. to change the names Of vessels.

ligence Officer and also Of the Bureau Of
Navigation that the names of these two

Chief Intelligence Officer. for the reason
stated in the bureaus endorsement. l do
not approve of the names suggested by the
bureau itself
1.-The name Nestor suggests great age

which appear to me undesirable for vessels

appears to me that collier may with pro-
priety receive the name Of NEUROLOGICAL

Advocate General suggesting the selection
Of names for two seagoing tugs and four
SUI marine torpedo boats authorized by
the naval appropriation act approved April
81 1904, none of these vessels having yet
teen named. The Judge Advocate General
suggests some six names for the two sea-
going tugs, none of which seems to me
especially appropriate. l submit for your
approval, therefore, the names 'Patapsco
and 'PatuXent' for these two tugs. With
respect to the submarine torpedo boats,
think the names Octopus and Viper
are appropriate among those suggested
by the Judge Advocate General, For
the other two Of these vessels, think the
names Cuttlefish' and 'Tarantula more
appropriate than any of the remainder
among those suggested by the Judge Advo-
cate General. Very respectfully,
