CRIMMINS APPROVES PLANS
Equitable POIicyhOlders' Committee
Endorses Reorganization of So
ciety Through Trustees.

NEW YORK, June 16.-Todays session of
the executive committee of the Equitable
Board of Directors was devoted to routine
business. At the conclusion Chairman Nor
ton said that until the Hendricks report
is given out the action of the committee
will be conservative. 1t is not now eX-
pected that the report will be made public
before next Monday or Tuesday.
The committee of policyholders, of which
John d. Crimmins is chairman and which
was organized to secure the mutualiza tion
Of the Equitable society, today adopted
a resolution declaring it to be the opinion
of that committee that the voting trust
was sure and honest administration Of
the society's affairs in the interest of tho
policyholders, and in view of the delay in
the contamination of naturalization, the
present plan is entitled to the support of
the policyholders of the society"
The Crimmins statement concluded with
the following:
In our opinion the policyholders can with
every confidence maintain their policies
with the full assurance that every obliga-
ton of the society will be fully met. We
commend to all who hold the interests OF
| the society at heart-officers, directors
policyholders and agents-that, forgetting
past differences, they give to the society
the loyalty and support which has made
| of the world.
Alexander s. Bacon, counsel for Roland
W. Dufort and other polinyholderg today
made an attack on the recent transfer OF
the majority of the Equitable stock By
James II. Hyde to Thomas F. Ryan. Mr.
| Bacon said:
| II am not sure, however, that there hai
been any bona fide sale of the Hyde stock
The fact of the price that is said to hav,
been paid having been published is III
prima facie evidence of such sale. l be
lieve that the policyholders will shortl!
find that they have been thrown from III
| frying pan into the fire. If this is reall!
a sale, dummy trustees would be oblige,
to vote for dummy directors. The twenty
eight directors to represent the policyhold
ers will be really selected by the manage
! ment through their agents, who will ceas
to be agents very quickly If they don't in
fuence the poicyholders to select the righ
directors, The poicyholders know only IN
local agents, but the mutual management
is far less responsible than a stock man
agement for the stockholders, being IN
terested as far as their stock is concerned
have at any rate something at stake"

to the traffic arrangements of the San
Pedro, Salt Lake q Los Angeles railroad

LUTHERANs MAY BE UNITEI
Interest shown in Report of Commit
tee on closer Union of
branches.

PITTSBURG, June 16.-The delegates to
the general synod of the Evangelical Luth-
eran Church in America were early in their
seats today, as much interest was mani
tested In the report of the committee on
closer union with the various branches of
the Lutheran church, which it was expected
would be presented.
There are three leading synods in the
denomination-namely, tie general synod,
general council and the general synod,
south-which many members wish to see
united and it is believed the report of the
committee will make the way clear. Lead
ing members said today, however, that the
union would not come about this year, but
that the committee will be continued from
year to year until the union was effected.
| When the session resumed the report of
the Board of Home Missions was called
for This report showed a deficit Of sL7O7
and within a short time a sum sufficient
to meet it was raised.
During the discussion of the home mis-
sions report, which occupied most of the
! afternoon. a resolution was adopted after
! a vigorous discussion, stating:
| That in the judgment of the general
| synod it is inexpedient and unwise for the
| agents of the church charged with the ad-
! ministration of its benevolent operations,
! to be under the necessity of so frequently
coming before the church with special .ap-
! peals to liquidate Indebtedness, and II
| would hereby declare that II is conclusive
that the Board of Home Missions should
| limit its administration Of the works 10
| the means which 1t may reasonable expect
to be at its disposal through the ordinary
| channels. The debate on the resolution was
especially warm, because collection dur.
| ing the morning amounting to several
! thousands had been taken up or pledged
| from among the delegates to make up the
deficit reported by the home mission board
Another resolution was adopted calling
upon the pastors 10 use their efforts &C
raise the full apportionment of 2S cents pei
member for home missions.
l. S. Earles Runyon of the New York and
New Jersey synod made the statement
that the church had neglected missionary
work in New York and New Jersey ant
that as consequence many of the leading
Lutherans, especially in New York City
had been drawn away and had Joined othe
churches. He said:
We are losing the best young men of tn,
Lutheran congregations in the country wht
come to New York to live and work, be
cause we have not churches enough t
cover the ground and these men drift ava!

Bids on Pathfinder Dam.

1t was announced at the geological
survey today that bids for construc-
ton of the Pathfinder dam, in connection
with the North Platte irrigation project
In Wyoming. were oCened at Denver yes
terday, and the lowest bid was that of W.
C. Bradbury, $S6494O. The secretary of the
interior has advertised for bids for the
construction Of a pile bridge $50 feet long
across the North Platte river, about
twenty-five miles southwest of Casper,
Wyo. Cement and other material for the
dam and related works are to be deliv-
cred at Casper, and the proposed bridge
is on the shortest route by ten miles be-
tween that point and the Pathfinder dam.
Bius will be received at the office of the
United States reclamation service at Cas-
per until June 29 and particulars may be
obtained from the constructing engineer,
Charles E. Wells, at Casper. The direct
advantage which will result from the con-
struction of the bridge and consequent
shortening of the route over which ce-
ment and supplies must be hauled, should
materially reduce the cost of the dam.
