MORE MONEY FROM HYDE
ARRANGES OR CANCELING SAFE
DEPOSIT LEASES.
Directors Of the Company Believe
This Will Mean at Least $4,000
600 to the Equitable.

NEW YORK. December 4.-The settle.
ment which James Hazen Hyde and
other members of the cid board Of direct
ors of the Equitable Life have proposed
with the society means. If it is carried
through, that the resources Of that insti.
tuition will be increased in money value
by at least $1,000. COO. and the amount may
be much greater. Not only has Mr.
Hyde. as was told yesterday. consented
at the instance Of a committee OF the
board OF directors to turn back into the
treasury of the society almost 81 ,O00.0 900
but he has yielded to an agreement by
which the Equitable will be able to revoke
the costly leases held by the Hyde safe
deposit colapaies for space in the so.
ciety's buildings in this city and in Bos-
ton.
Revocation Of Leases.
One high officer Of the Equitable esti.
mates that the revocation of the lease Of
the Mercantile Safe Deposit Company
alone would be worth s1.250OOO to the
society. The experts engaged by the di.
rectors' committee estimated that il
would represent practically 100000 to
the society 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,OOO.OLy fol
the building and site because this lease
stood in the way. Some of the directors
think that $2,OO.0O0 Is too conservative
an estimate. They say that there s. nc
possible way of estimating how valuable
rental space may be in New York 1O(
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.
How the Leases Work.
Some idea Of what these leases are like
may be gained from the fact that in the
case Of the Mercantile the society from
1880 to 1904 expended simply for fixtures
received in that period amounted to only
&e3,372. making a balance for the period
Of $3.463. But when the cost Of the heat
light. watchmen's wages and other things
which had to be furnished under the
lease are deducted. the net result was a
large deficit for the society.
The safe deposit company in a genera
way gets half the RECEIPTS and spends
nothing, while the insurance company fol-
the other half furnishes the floor space
vaults and almost everything else The
Mercantile has paid 20 per cent on its
500. 900 of capital stock.
In the case Of the Boston company II
managed to pay about IS per cent or
500 600 OF capital. while the Equitable
building in Boston at the same time wa.
yielding only 1.5S per cent on the none,
which It cost.

rectors' committee forced upon Mr.. Hyde

The opinion was rendered in confirming
the report Of "a referee in The test case of
William Hammerstein. involving the ques-
ton Of revocation of his license for the
Victoria Theater on a charge Of having

The referee found that only five Of the
acts given in that theater were in viola

O'Gorman disagreed with him and said:
Each Of the twenty acts set forth in
the petition constituted q clear violation
Of the law SUFFICIENT to justify revoca-

punishment Of the proprietor and per-
former. The law Is plain. and there can

The answer, which was filed coincident

that Senator du Pont was never actively
