STATEMENT FOR
THE EQUITABLE
POLICY HOLDERS COMMITTEE is'
SUED BY COUNSEL.
Nothing Can Stop Demand For lnves-
tigation Except Prompt Mutu-
aIization of Society.

New York. March 20. Frank H.
Plat, counsel for the Equitable policy
holders committee, issued the follow
ing statement:
"The statement that Mr.. Hyde does
not feel it would be safe to give the
policy-holders of the Equitable the
immediate control, which is ultimately
contemplated, confirms the fears and
suspicious entertained by the policy
holders committee, which is my cli-
ent., gn
1T can hardly be said to be logical
that the one-man control of the Equi-
table is SO dangerous as to require
termination. and at the same time,
that its abrupt termination is itself a
danger.
"The suggestion that the present
board of directors are men of great ex-
perience in the business of insurance
and especially capable, aside from
their high standing and character. Of
giving the Equitable highly trained
and efficient supervision is one that
think the board Of directors them
selves would not take seriously.
"The board of directors meets quar-
terly. 1t is composed of men in every
walk of life, many of whom do not re-
side in New York and only a relative
ly small proportion of whom attend its
meetings. Its composition has been
fully set forth and widely criticized In
the papers. With few exceptions the
board are merely nominees of the
stockholding control.
The committee of the board has
recommended that a majority of the
board hereafter be elected by the poll
cy-holders. If the conditions demand
corrective measures Of this sort 1t is
silly to postpone the application of the
corrective for a period of four years:
1t has been stated that Mr.. Hyde feels
that having the power to nominate
and elect "a directors he still believes
that he may gain the three or four ad-
ditional votes to give him the actual
control.
This can hardly be regarded as an
argument in favor of the substantial
| character of the concession of mutual
ization. | do not attach much impor'
tance to it, however. as I do not be-
lieve that any one can control twenty
four men Of character and independ'
A enee.
II furthermore believe that nothing
cam stop the demand for an inyestiga
tion of the society except the practica
prompt and upmistakeable mutualiza
tion ofit.g

CANTON'S INFANT
SQUAD INDUSTRY
NEW SCHEME FOR MAKING MON
EY THAT 10 BEING TRIED.
What Are squabs-Read and Find
out-eood Profits Are Easily
Figured Upon. lGq q~4 q

There is an infant industry in Can
ton--infant in double sense. It Is
the raising of squads. What are
squads? They are young pigeons
that are put upon the market as del
icacy when about four weeks old.
Several "squabers" are gradually
working into the business and are
making success of 1t. The mother
pigeons are not allowed to have their
freedom, but are kept in close, warm
pens in winter and more open ones
in summer, and as a result they keep
Matching the whole year round. 1t
is estimated that single pair will
hatch and raise an average OF eight
or nine pair of squads every year. At
whole sale prices these are sold for
$2.25 a dozen in Cleveland, so that
the income from single pair of birds
is about SO a year. The feed is said
to cost less than a dollar, so that
there is nice profit where the bust.
ness is conducted properly.
Homing or carrier pigeons are used
by all squad raisers for the reason
that they are more prolific and have
larger breasts. Squads are consider
ed a great delicacy and taken Before
their muscles have been toughened by
flying they are tender and delicious
They are bought in large quantities
by the rich epicures of the cities, TAX
ing the place of quail and other wild
game that is now becoming so scarce

ILLEGAL ! fees
AlslsyylN,e.S Have Been
ID MaMh by Former
")y.lp7 Auditor.
ORDERED TO REFUND

Carrollton, o., March 20.--Judge
Henry w. Harter decided on Satur-
day that George s. Tinlin, former au-
ditor of Carroll county, must refund
$1,000 illegally drawn as fees during
his second term of Office. The decis
ion was q sweeping one and, IL sus-
tanned by the supreme court, will ef.
feet every auditor in the state. Tin
lin and his son, II. 0. Tinltn, who
was deputy auditor, indexed the com
missioners' journal. road records, In
firmary directors proceedings, assort-
ed, numbered and filed the vouchers
In the auditors Office, and performed
other similar work. Their alleged
work was done by contract with the
commissioners, and they contend that
they acted as individuals without re-
gard to the office. Judge /Harter
held also that the auditors bondsmen
were liable for the acts of the depu-
ty. The case was Instituted four
years ago by Democratic taxpayers,
and has been the subject of fierce and
bitter campaign partisanship. 1t Is
likely that the affair will have some
influence in the coming Republican
primaries, as Tinlin is prominent
factor in Republican politics. He is
at prestnt cashier of the First Ma
tional bank and is at the head OF the
faction which has for years been wag,
ing war against the Rutan element
within the Republican party. 1t is
very likely the case will be carried
to a higher court.
