an annual saving OF 81 ,250, 900. This
includes b saving Of 100000 which
had already been announced. It Is

$25. 900 900 bank deposits, with q gain
of 2 per cent, In annual interest. On

There was considerable speculation
yesterday as to the Equitable's rea-
SONS for endeavoring to keep the re-
port Of the expert accountants with

stieers OF the company. Those who re-
ceived copies Of this report yesterday
had to sign q receipt which contained
asclause which was virtually a prom
ise not to disclose the contents Of the
report. In; this regard President Nor
ton said yesterday: 81
This report of the accountants con-
tains much information which might
be OF use to our competitors. For
that reason we have decided that it
should not be given out. Every large
: institution, even newspapers, has its
trade secrets That It does not care to
diyulge to its competitors.
The report contains some two hun
dred printed pages. which makes It
much larger than the Prick report. "A
great part of the accountants report,
however, Is devoted to tables Of fig
ures. It shows how the Equitable
stands on every form Of policy writ

informed by one Of the directors, the
syndicating operations and other deals
which were fully treated In the Frick
and Hendricks reports, and which
have since been probed by the ARM

Morton yesterday, Ato announce an an

will go to the policy holders. Over
100000 Of this saving comes in in
creased income received from bank
deposits. These deposits have been
cut. from $50, 00o. 900 to 81 ,000. 900, and
the interest increase Is 2 per cent. An
increase of one-half of / per cent. has

with q smile. which seemed to mean
that the Equitabie's deposits would
have gone elsewhere IL the increase
had not been granted.
He then explained that the remain
der Of the saving to policy holders
came from reduction in salaries, de-
creasing the number of officers and
cutting agency expenses.

TENNESSEE HOLDS
 ELECTION TODAY Democratic Primary for United
 States Senator CONTEST IS UNCERTAIN E. w. carmack and Bob Taylor Are the Opposing Candidates and Both Campaign Managers Claim
 the Victory.
CONTEST IS UNCERTAIN

Nashville, May ll.-A political cam paign of absorbing in.erest to Tenne scans irrespective of party ended in this state tonight. Tomorrow, in d general democratic primary, there will be nom- mated a candidate to succeed in the Uni ted States Senate Hon. Edward w. Car mack, whose term expires in March next. MT. Carmack and former Governor Rob ert L. Taylor are aspiring to the honor, which Is tantamount to election and the contest they have engaged in has been in many respects memorable. On the eve of it's decision, any attempt to forecast the result would be step in the dark. Both campaign managers have issued statements making sweeping claims, but they are wide apart and that the vote will be large and close, seems the only certain clement
 Of unprecedented length and between men of exceptional personal magnetism and forensic ability. the campaign has been characterized by d bitterness and visor probably never equalled in Ten nessee. There has been no Joint debate, Governor Taylor declining Senator Car mack s challenge, but both have spoken In almost every county and hamlet In the state, each drawing immense crowds and arousing hearers to demonstration. For more than a year, the struggle has been on, growing in intensity as 1t pro- gressed. Since November both have been pretty continuously on the stump and not the least feature Is the powers of endurance they have displayed
 Carmack closed with two speeches to monster gatherings in this (Davidson) county. the last being in the court house up today with two great audiences In Jackson.
 Personal Issues.
 The issues discussed have been mainly personal. Taylor's utterances being mark ed by the eloquence, humor and pathos that have made him reputation not con fined to Tennessee. He has at the same time made vigorous onslaught on his op- ponent and been forceful in argument. Carmack, noted for boldness of express sion, convincing style, brilliant rhetoric and whitening sarcasm has brought his powers into play with telling effect. Tay- Tor counts the laboring man as almost solid in his column, while his partisans describe him as the idol of the backs woodsmen and the mountaineer. Car mack's friends claim the business men In the cities are largely for him and as- sert that his scathing arraignment of the saloon and lawless clements has ral- lied to his banner the temperance forces and the influence of the clergy.
 With many the opinion prevails that the official count will be required to indicate the victory.
