tions in regard to the proposed bill and

OF the proposed law printed and ready for
distribution to the club members. In these
copies those changes that have been
adopted will appear.

contradicting his own evidence was ad-
mltted.
Noaks had given damaging evidence at
former trials. and four years ago he went
tc Powers and told him that he wanted TO
make statement In justice TO him. Pow
ers sent two Louisville attorneys to Dan
Vile, ILL.,. to meet Noals. Noaks dictated
a statement detailing how T. c. Campbell
had bribed him and several others TO
maRe false statement and how he had
colonized these men. keeping them at

HYDE GIVES UP
MORE CASH To

New York, Dec. 4.-The settlement

members OF the old board of directors Of

through, that the resources of that insti-
tuition will be increased I'm money value

instance OF n committee of the board OF
directors to turn back into the treasury
OF the society almost S1.000,000, but he has
Yielded TO an agreement by which the
Equitable will be able to revoke the cost
ly leases held by the Hyde safe deposits
companies for space in the society's
buildings In this city and in Boston.
One high officer of the Equitable est-
mates that the revocation OF the lease OF
the Mercantile Safe Deposit company
alone would be worth 81, $4,000 to the So
ciety. The experts engaged by the direct
ors' committee estimated that IL would
represent practically $2.O0O0O0 10 the So
ciety To be rid OF the lease.
The lease was drawn for something like
200 years and has 1913 years yet to run.
The Equitable has already been Obliged
TO turn down one offer Of $16,O000o0 for
the building and site because this lease
stood In the way. Some of the directors
think that 100000 lis too conservative
an estimate. They say that there is no
possible way OF estimating how valuable
rental space may be in New York 100
years from now.
The same is true OF the lease held by
the Security Safety Deposit company OF
Boston, although this lease has only
about half as long TO run.
The safe deposit company in a general
way gets half the receipts and spends
nothing, while the insurance company for
the other half furnishes the floor space.

Mercantile has paid % per cent on it's
100000 OF capital stock.
In the case OF the Boston company it
managed TO pay about Is per cent on
100000 OF capital, while the Equitable
building in Boston at the same time was
yielding only l5s per cent on the money
which IL cost.

rectors' committee forced upon Mr.. Hyde

OF the stock I'm each of these companies
