of the general assembly of the Cumber-

ment prevailing yesterday. A contest was
expected over the report of the committee

resolution practically asking that the edi-
tor of the church paper be removed. The
committee reported that 1t found no facts
to justify such a course. The report was
adopted without debate.
The missions report was also adopted
without debate. except a mild complaint
that the administration of the board costs
too much The report commended the
officers of the board, and directed that the
Sunday schools provide a building for

PRESIDENT URGED
TO TAKE UP MATTER
INVESTIGATION is BEING MADE
TO DETERMINE AUTHORITY OF
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN THE
EQUITABLE SOCIETY MATTER.

Washington, May 24.-An effort was
made today to induce President Roose-
welt to take an active interest in the
complications which have arisen in the
affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society. Clarence Whitman, president Of
the Merchants association of New York,
had a conference with the Preside1h on
The subject. Details of tlfe conference
were not obtainable, but 1t is known that
MIR. Whitman urged the President to take
up the subject with a view of ordering
government investigation or to make
recommendation to Congress on the sub
ject of insurance legislation.
Mr.. Whitman's suggestion was not the
first of its kind the President has re-
ceived In a letter from a prominent
New York man. whose name is not dis
closed, the President recently was urged
strongly to institute an investigation of
the Equitable affairs by government Off
cials. 1t can be said that up to this time
the President has not seen his way clear
To the taking of any action in the case
of the Equitable company specifically.
Some general investigation of insurance
AolpoIdAlpus mas Deen dlreduy Deen MADE
by the bureau of corporations, but it is
understood the information obtained was
purely of a general character such as
might be gathered by anybody sufficiently
Interested in the subject to make the in.
quiries necessary to develop the facts.
Commissioners Garfield of the corpora
ton bureau is engaged now in an effort
to determine whether the government has
authority of making an investigation OF
a specific character in the assurance ques.
tion matter by Congress-. The Impression
is general in official circles that the com.
missioner probably would have no power
TO make such an inquiry unless it first
were authorized by Congress.
What. If any, action may be taken by
the government at the instance of the
President cannot be indicated at this time.
| 1t is understood. however, not to be UNI
! likely the President may discuss the sub
jeet and make some recommendations re-
sarding it in message to Congress.
