DEPEW COMPANY PAYS Up
Land Syndicate Settles with Equitable
Tie Assurance Society,
SENATOR MAKES AN EXPLANATION
Says Security for the Loan was
Ample at Time it was Made and
There Was No Intention
to Defraud.

NEW YORK, Aug a-Announcement
was made today by the officers Of the
Equitable Life Assurance society that the
Indebtedness to the society OF the Depew
Improvement company was paid this after
noon, the principal and interest amount
Ing to a3s50s2. The correspondence in
cident to the transaction was also at the
suggestion Of President Paul Morton made
public TO the end, Mr.. Morton said, that
an impression unjust to Senator Chauncey
M. Depew might be removed
The correspondence consists Of three
letters Of even date, the first addressed to
Mr.. Morton by Henry B. Anderson Of the
law firm of Anderson & Anderson, at
torneys for the Depew Improvement COM
pany, announcing that the reorganization
committee of the Depew Improvement
company, having perfected the title to the
property not covered by the Equitable
mortgage was prepared to take over the
property which secured the loan, paying
In cash to the Equitable the face OF the
loan and interest
The second letter, also addressed TO
Mr.. Morton, is from Senator Depew, who
states explicitly his part in the transaction
between the Improvement company and the
Equitable Society and points out what he
declares are inaccuracies in published state
ments, through Which a grave injustice has
been done him.
Senator Depev's Explanation.
Among other things, Senator Depew says
had nothing to do with the Organization
or the Depew Improvement company, not
even authorizing the use of my name, nor
was In any way connected with il until
hVe years after its Incorporation, when
purchased for 100000 in cash, a one-ff-
teenth interest in the stock of the company.
Ihe company at that time had tract of
land consisting of about 2,1OO sub-divided
lots and 26o acres not sub-divided.
The Equitable Life loaned $3.50 600 upon
l,b15 of the companys lots. These lots
were selected as constituting the most
valuable tracts there. At the time the
mortgage was made these lots were selling
the lowest at $500 and the highest at 5000
each. The valuation placed upon the plot
by the Equitable appraisers at the time
was ,750, and upon the balance Of the
land owned by the company 1000 a total
appraisal was at the same time made and
submitted to the Equitable by William B.
! Cutter, one of the leading real estate men
of Buffalo, in which he appraised the value
of the lots loaned on at $76S,OOO.
In 1901 a real estate depression set in and
about Buffalo, which lowered values and
checked the growth in the town of Depew.
1t was at this time, October T. 1901, and not
when the loan was made In January, 1898
that the insurance company appraised the
part of the property covered by the Equit-
able's mortgage at $l50,Oo0
