I The Hall woman, who was supposed
to have made a confession to the Utah

confession was a fabrication made up
of whole cloth, and that neither had

which she knew nothing, and that in
a spirit Of revenge she gave them a
fictitious account of the robbery.
The local officers are inclined to be-

proof is not secured they will, in all
probability release both Gladney and
the Hall woman.

CARRIES FREE INSURANCE
Nine Hundred Employees of the
Equitable Given ST 900
Policies Gratis

New York, Feb. 1.-The fact that the
Equitable Life Assurance society has
for the last four years insured free the
lives Of its 900 employees for 81, 900 each
became known today.
Since the institution Of the free in
SuranCe scheme seventeen deaths have
occurred among the employees, and the
society has in consequence paid out
SIT 900.
Paul Morton, president Of the Equita-
BILE, in speaking of the matter today,
sadi:
when 7 entered the service Of the
Equitable and learned about this sys-
tenn, the propriety Of continuing it Oc-
Cured to me and at meeting of the
board Of directors the whole question
was brought up. 1t was decided TO re-
fer the matter to the committee on pei
sions, and it is still in their hands.
Whether the system -transgresses any
law am not prepared to say. That is
a question for the lawyers to answer.
It is a common practice Of all large
corporations nowadays to carry insur-
ance upon the lives Of all Of their en-
ployeS"
Vice President Gage E Tarbell, who
is said 70 have originated the system
in the Equitable, declared that when
an enploye died it did away with the
necessity of his fellow employees con-
tributing to a fund for his widow or
other dependent relatives. It. also, he
said, induced an employe TO continue in
the service Of the Equitable, as the in
surance ceased the moment he severed
his connection with the society. The
premiums were paid, Mr.. Tarbell said,
in lieu of a slightly higher salary. The
average cost OF the insurance to the
Equitable was $13 a year per enploye.

Paris, Feb. Everywhere in France
the actual putting into operation Of
the clause Of the church and state
separation hin. which provides for the
making of inventories of the property
Of the churches has aroused a storm
Of protest. In several provincial par
ishes Catholics have gathered in the
churches and made such strong resist
ance that the government commission
ers were unable to enter the edifces.
In Paris today violent scenes took
place in several churches, notably that
Of st. Ctothilde.
Used Armed Force.
An inventory Of the property of the
church Of St Roch has not been yet
made owing to the opposition of the
congregation, but the defenders of the
church of ST. Clothilde succumbed be-
fore the energetic assault of an armed
force, which acted on the avowed in
tention of the government to use every
means at its disposal to compel obedi-
ence to the enactment.

the cost.
Fifty People Arrested.
While the ministry was being inter
pellated in the chamber today. scenes
Of excitement and violence were
transporting at the church of st. Clio
tEilde, near the chamber of deputies.
Among the fifty people taken into Gus
tody were two priests.

William M. Morse, Jr., Reaains Hls
Right Mind After Observing
Ravlne Of Crazy Man
In Cell

Can the shock Of seeing another raw
ing maniac bring reason back to an
insane person?
This is the question that police sur
geons were asking themselves yester-
day when William M. Morse, ir., who
has been violently insane in the city
Jail, was found to be in his right mind
on the day following DR.. M. o. Ygle-
sas' arrest
Morse became violently insane at the
Clara Barton hospital last week and
after focking two of the nurses in a
room was finally overpowered and
ia ken to the city Jail.
Saturday he attempted suicide by
beating his head against the steel bars
of his cell.
In a few minutes he would have
fractured his skull had the attendants
not arrived on the scene in time.
Morse was removed to the receiving
hospital, and with his hands encased
In leather cuffs and strapped to his bed
the man raved and yelled in wild de-
dirium.
Sunday night Dr. Yglesias was taken
to the hospital a raving maniac. Morse
observed him closely and soon after fell
asleep.
Yesterday the young man was in his
right mind and conversed sanely with q
visitor.
He remarked to one of the attend
ants: Wasn't that crazy man some
thing terrible? 1 watched him long
time and finally seemed to feel calm.
1 realized what insanity meant. It
came like a shock
