EQUITABLE LIFE APPEALS
From Overriding OF Demurrer In Lord Suit
MaNer Gets the TcstIm OnN.

The Equitable Life Assurance Society
has taken an appeal from the decision
rendered by Justice Keogh in the Supreme
Court in brooklyn on the demurrer to
the complaint in Frankie B Lords suit to
block the naturalization plan. Justice
Keogh overruled the demurrer. Neither
this appeal nor the appeal from the original
decision in the Lord suit will be argued
until the fall, and then, SO far az the effect
on the actual naturalization OF the society
is concerned. il will not make much differ
enca whether the decisions are sustained or
reversed, for II is generally conceded now
that the system OF policyholders' control
provided under the present trusteeing OF
the stock Is safer than the scheme provided
In the proposed amended charter, and just
az liberal The persons who are behind the
present litigation appreciate this fact,
1t IL said, and their only purpose now in
carrying the suits through is to have some
definite conclusion reached on the larger
question of property rights in the ownership
OF stock in Insurance companies.

it is expected that the Attorney General

the first of the week in regard to the suits
which he Is going to bring to make the guilty
directors disgorge and retire. 1t was
said yesterday that District Attorney
Jerome's office has not yet received it's copy
of the testimony.
Further statements In regard to the
interest which Trustee Grover Cleveland
is taking in the reorganization OF the society
were made yesterday. Wayne MaoVeagh,
instead of having been called in to advise
Mr. Cleveland personally, it was said, was
interested in the situation moro as an adj
wiser for all the trustees in regard to the
suits that ought to be brought and the other
steps that may be taken to compel the
restitution of the policyholdcrs money.

LONDON, July S.-Numerous revelations
in recent years of spurious ancient and
modern masters in public and private
galleries are causing a feeling that some
drastic steps are necessary to stop the
system of wholesale swinding in this
manner, the chief center of which is Paris.
A case which has attracted the most
attention recently is Corot which the
Prince OF Wales purchased on advice and
presented to the new Dublin Gallery Of
Modern Art. This, despite the support
of four leading London experts. is known
to be poor copy OF a picture by Meszoly
in the Buda pest Museum.
One of the best known connoisseurs in
Paris suggests that every picture painted
nowadays shall have a certificate signed
by the artist in the presence of official
witnesses.

He testified that after twenty years Of in
cessant work and in spite Of his success
he is only just able to make living owing
to the large number OF forged pictures

OYSTER BAY, July S-From an interview
with Baron Kaneko Kantaro, the Japanese
a ,ancal agent In the United States, II Is
apparent that the United States Is bound
to play very important part IN the nego-
tiations for peace between Russia aud japan.

who came last evening and stayed over
night at Sycamore HILL sounded the Presi-
dent on the subject Of the indemnity Japan

the indemnity. Baron Kaneko replied.
II can't speak about that. You will have
inquire at Sycamore Hill.
Did Russia ask Japan directly for an
armistice2' he was asked.
y don't credit that report, replied Baron
Kaneko, because the governments OF
Russia and Japan could come in touch only
through the United States. Besides, no
arnistice Is necessary, because the rainy
season has set in In Manchuria and fighting
is for the present impraotioable.
On the head Of the indemnity to be de-
manded Of Russia the Baron said
Japan spent large amount OF money
on the war and think we have fair claim
to indemnity. Your own American press is
OF that opinion
1t Is thought that because OF the great
Difference Japan his shown for our Govern
ment and President Roosevelt personally
the Japanese Government was anxious to
get the Presidents idea az to what would
he fair demand. With regard to Baron
Rosen, Baron Kaneko said
He was twice Ambassador to Japan
and he is very much liked there. He was
always very popular. and the Japanese

lieve that the peace negotiations will come
to a satisfactory conclusion"

American people were 30 hospitable, in
viting him to their town homes and country
