Rumor Comes From Denver That
He May Enter Santa
Fe Service.
PROTEGE OF D. H. MoFFAT
Man Whose Hand Guided Many Big
Transactions Placed Him mt Head
OF Big Insurance Company.

Paul Morton, president of the
Equitable Life Assurance society, a
protege of David II. Moffat of Denver,
WILL it is reported on high authority.
soon be retired. says the Denver Post.
He VIII be succeeded in office by w. a.
Day, now vice president of the society.
MIR. Morton, 1t Is said, will accept
place with the Santa Fe railway. He
was vice president of that system prior
to becoming secretary of the navy.
Through the influence of David II.
Moffat, Mr. Morton was placed at the
head of the Equitable society. 1t was
Mr.. Moffat who also proposed the sale
of the HYDE stock to Thomas #. Ryan,
under a trust agreement; the selection
of Grover Cleveland as the chairman
Of the trustees, and the concurrent res
ignatlon of Mr.. Alexander. In fact,
Mr.. Moffat did more to bring the
Equitable out of its troubles Follow
ing the insurance scandals than any
other man.
KNEW HIM AS A BOY,
Mr.. Moffat and j. Sterling Morton,
father of Paul Morton, were close
personal friends When Paul Morton
was a little boy, Mr. Mofat used to
dandle him on his knees. Mr.. Mot-
fat was always very fond of Faul
Morton and watched his career with
close interest. AT the time of the
Equitable scandal Paul Morton was
being charged with being responsible
for the giving of rebates by the SAN
ia Fe to large manufacturing COM
panies. He was cleared of the charge
by President Roosevelt, but the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Moffat that Mr.. Morton
be made president OF the Equltapie
occurred very OPPORTUNITY.
w. A Day, whom 1t is reported Will
succeed Paul Morton, was assistant at
torney general under Cleveland, Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt. He took part
in the negotiations with France for
the purchase of the site of the Pana-
ma canal, and was taken to the Equit-
able by Mr.. Morton, 1t was Day VINO
filed the original charges of granting
rebates, against Morton, and 1t was
through this incident that the men
We're thrown together and became
close friends.
LIKES THE WEST.
Mr.. Morton has made splendid
record as president of the Equitaie.
II is said that he is being opposed by
cause he will not permit himself to be
used by any faction or clique. Mr.
Morton was in Denver in the spring,
and recently made arrangements to
purchase the $3S5,000 Montclair i'm
provement district bond issue.
Because of his training in the west,
Mr. Morton has favored making in
vestments in the west. If an eastern
man is placed at the head of the so
ciety he may be opposed to sending so
much money into the west for invest
ments.
Mr.. Morton was in Salt Lake early
in March He looked over the city
and surrounding country and seemed
greatly impressed with the future of
the country hereabouts. He saw the
Newhouse buildings and a 100000
loan followed. He made the statement
while here that of all western fields
