ABSURD, SAYS
MORTON
When He Hears Rumors Of Receiver
ship For Equitable.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Rumors wert
circulated in the financial district to
day 10 the effect that receiver was
about to be appointed for the Equita
BILE Life Assurance Society. When the
reports were called to the attention
of Paul Morton, president, of the so
ciety. he pronounced the rumor as
absurd.
Mr.. Morton pronounced the rumor
of an impending receivership for the
Eouitable as not only absurd, but
ridiculous. The person who put 1t in
circulation doubtless used as a basis
the recent decision of the Court of
Appeals reversing Judge HazePs de
cision sustaining the society's demur-
rer In the case of ). Wilcox Brown
against the society in which Messrs,
Dos Passos brothers are OF counsel
for the plaintiff, The decision In this
case is upon very narrow question
and has not the remotest bearing upon
the society's solvency, Mr.. Morton
added that he knew of no corporation
in the world which was more solvent
ana less likely to go into the hands OF
a receiver than the Equitable.
John n. Dos passas. who VIII rep
resent j. Wilcox Brown and other
policyholders who have brought suit
against the Equitable Life Assurance
Society, said he could fully confirm
Mr.. Morton's statement.

adopted a recommendation to tn,

the first meeting Of the reunited Pres

r. w. Binkley and Rev. r. H. Brown.
The committee spent the entire
day wrestling with the details of re-
arranging Presbyterial lines, made
necessary by the union of the two
churches, for in several instances the
Presbyteries now overlap one another.
There will be only slight changes in
Middle and West Tennessee, but In
he Eastern part of the State Presby-
cries will be united. The committee
vas unanimously In favor of one
synod Tor the entire State and 1t will
recommend reduction in Presbyter-
es. These bodies will be larger and
stronger than heretofore.
One of the most interesting ques.
ions which arose was with reference |
o the colored Presbyteries. All the

.lready, on their own initiative, plac
d In Presbyteries Of their own, but |
hey have not had separate Synod
It the last Assembly two Of the three
olored Presbyteries attached to the
ynod OF Tennessee asked for the
rection of separate Synod, but the
natter was allowed to lie over until
he next Assembly, because of the gen
raj readjustment which is to come
hen. The Joint committee in session
ere Wednesday adopted a resolution

No colored Presbyteries had express

NO DISARMAMENT
GERMANY WILL HOLD ALOOF
FROM ITS DISCUSSION.
Won Buelow in His speech 90 Reich
stag Outlines Policy of Empire
On This Subject.

Berlin, May There was a gen
Ieral debate in the reichstag on Ger
manys foreign relations, and Incl
dentally, Andrew Carnegie's recent
reference to the decision between war
and peace being in the hands of En-
peror William, which was criticised
and classed as a distortion of facts.
At the opening of the debate
speakers of various parties pointedly
suggested to the imperial chancellor
that Germany should take no part in
the discussion of limitation of arma-
ments at The Hague peace confer
Ience.
Buelow, in reply, said Germany did
not object to letting the other powers
discuss the matter, but would hold
|aloof. This statement was received
with approval by the house. Buelow
claimed the mere prospect of discus
sion OF the question of limitation of
armaments has a disquieting effect
upon the international situation.

HISTORIC COURTESY sHELvED.
Governors of North and South Caro-
lima Are Both Prohibitionists.

New Haven, Conn.,, May L. The
famous salutation between the gov
ernor of North Carolina and the gov
ernor of South Carolina is now. for
the time being at least. historical
back number. The fact was learned
by Governor r. $. Woodruff of this
state while attending the reception
of Governor Swanson in the Virginia
building at the jamestown exposition
last Thursday night. The Carolina
governors, who had never met. were
brought together by Connecticut's
governor Governor Ansel, of South
Carolina, and Gov. Glenn of North
Carolina clasped hands warmly. and
while they were expressing mutual
qualification over the meeting Cover
nor Woodruff stood expectantly. FL
nally ne remarked:
"And now, gentlemen, presume
shall have the pleasure of hearing a
repetition of the famous remark of
the governor of North Caraolina to
the Governor Of South Carolina"
Governor Ansel responded at
once: "Your excellency, as I am a
Prohibition governor and teetotal-
er, I cannot make it sincerely"
And to the amazement of Governor
Woodruff and Governor Ansel as
well, the other Carolinian aided:
"Being Prohibitionist myself, I, too.
must suffer the remark, at least lit
orally, to remain a matter of histo-
ry."

STRIKE FOR ONE hath A MONTH
Russian Bakers Demand More Money
and Chance To Keep Clean.

st. Petersburg, May t. One bath
a month at the expense of the en-
ployers is a demand made by the
striking bakers of st. Petersburg.
The controversy over baths Is one of
the chief points at issue. The men
also demand decent lodgings, money
allowances and food, laundry and
other items, shorter hours and in
creased wages.
Journeyman bakers in Russia are
fed, lodged and clothed by their EN-
ployers, In patriachlal but insanitary
style. They are compelled to sleep
in the oven-rooms and have few ia
cilities for Cleanliness.
Despite the secession of the syn
dictate of bakers which granted the
demands of the men, the Master Ba-
.kers' association is attempting to con-
time the lockout.
Six thousand journeymen, about
two-thirds of the trade. who refused
to accept work under the old condl-

Though they swear It upon a
monument of good books as high as
the graft incrusted capitol at Harris
burg. Senator Penrose and the Penn
sylvanian Republican machine are
mot and will not be for Roosevelt or
for his policies. or for anybody who
represents him or them, says Ray
mond" in the Chicago Tribune No
third term declaration now or in the
future should deceive anybody as to
the attitude Of the corrupt Republi-
can machine in Pennsylvania It is
more than likely that Senator Knox,
who was retained as attorney general
by President Roosevelt, having been
appointed by President Mckinley,
will be put forward as a favorite son
of Pennsylvania, and will receive at
least a complimentary vote from the
big delegation of the Keystone state.
1t must not be understood, how
ever, that Senator Knox is In any
way a party to the reactionary posi-
ton of the Penrose combination. He
lis conservative man. He owes his
position In the senate largely If not
Ientireiy to the influence of the Penn
Isylvania railroad. Yet Mr.. Knox
demonstrated by his successful pros
ocution of the Northern Securities
case that when he is in public office
he is not in any way creature of the
corporations he once served as a
successful lawyer.
So it will happen that If Senator
Knox becomes the favorite SON OF
the Pennsylvania delegation in the
next Republican convention 1t will be
not because Penrose and his crowd
love Knox more but Roosevelt less.
| 1t is probably true in Pennsylvania
as It is in most other states. that the
rank and file Of the people. not only
