MORGAN RULES
EQUITABLE LIFE
CONTROL OF SOCIETY PASSES
FROM RYAN
TRANSFER MARKS NEW CHAPTER
IN FINANCE HISTORY
------
Statement Issued Does Not Include
Details of the Transaction Nor
Reference to Allied
Interests
Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Control of the
Equitable Life Assurance society, Sc
cured by Thomas #. Ryan soon after
the insurance scandals a few years
ago, has passed to j. Pierpont Nor
gan with the $472,O00000 of assets
which the company declared in its last
statement.
The transfer, apart from the magni-
tude as a chapter in the history OF
finance, marks a complete reversal OF
the old order under which insurance
companies controlled destinies of banks
and trust companies.
Statement from Morgan
News of the transfer was contained
in the following brief statement from
the offices of Morgan 81 Co:
"Mr. Morgan has bought the major
ity of the stock of the Equitable Life
Assurance society, formerly owned by
Thomas +. Ryan. This purchase is
subject to the trust under which Gro
yer Cleveland, Morgan j. O'Brien and
George Westinghouse were made Vot-
ing trustees, for the benefit Of the pol
lev holders. and II covers all, Mr..
Ryan's interests. including all stock
purchased by him from James IL.
Hyde"
Beyond these bare facts, Mr.. Morgan
and his partners declined to give any
bought by them and the price they
paid are for subsequent announcement.
Nor would they name any other inter-
ests allied with them.
Trust Agreement Terms
Under the terms of the trust agree
ment referred to i'm Mr.. Morgan's an
nouncement, the Ryan stock could not
be sold without the consent of the sur
viving trustees whose term Of power
held until June 15. 1910, If they saw fit.
Prior to confirmation of the transfer,
neither Mr.. Westinghouse nor Mr..
O'Brien would discuss either its de-
tails or its possibilities.
At the offices of the Equitable So
ciety, President Paul Morton professcd
ignorance of the transfer and news of
the change of control seemed to come
as surprise to other officers. II is
known however, that directors of the
society and principals to the deal were
In conference yesterday and until late
today. and there Is authority for the
statement that the transfer met with
their approval.
