Beats Down Proprietor OF Los

Is Caught by Crowd
Aged Victim, Recovering Com

and Cries Out Alarm

Los ANGELES, Dec. 20 Florin
Franklin, a young man who has lived
with his mother and brother in East
Los Angeles, made desperate attempt
to rob the jewelry and furnishing goods
store of D. Cohen & Sons in one of the
principal streets of the city today and
was captured after he had struck down
D. Cohen. the aged proprietor. and had
fled from the place with large amount
of plunder. He is now in jail with
charges of attempted murder and rob-
berry against him.
Franklin entered the store shortly
after noon and found Cohen, who is so
years old, alone. He asked to be shown
some article, and when Cohen, after
turning his back to procure the article,
turned to him again, he was felled to
the floor by the robber, who welded a
piece of gaspipe. The robber had also
armed himself with a revolver, which
lay on one of the showcases.
The old man arose and grappled with
his assailant. but was struck on the
head with the revolver and rendered
unconscious. While he lay on the floor
the young man looted the showcases of
many gems and articles of jewelry.
Cohen regained consciousness just as
the robber ran from the store and sue
ceeded in raising an alarm. Then he
pursued the fleeing robber, while blood
flowed from the wounds in his head

MORGAN IN CONTROL
OF EQUITABLE Life
Stock of Assurance Society and
$472,OO0,0O0 Assets Pass
From Thomas F. Ryan
Purchase Subject to Trust for
Benefit of Policy Holders,
Terms Being Withheld

NEW YORK, Dec. Control of the
cured by Thomas F. Ryan soon after
the insurance scandals a few years ago,
has passed to ]. Pierpont Morgan, with
the $472,000,000 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 complete reversal of
the old order under which insurance
companies controlled the destinies Of
banks and trust companies.
The transfer was announced in the
following statement from the offices of
Morgan & Co.:
Mr.. Morgan has bought the majority
of the stock of the Equitable life assur-
ance society, formerly owned by
Thomas f. Ryan. This purchase is
subject to the trust Under which Grover
Cleveland, Morgan j. O'Brien and
George Westinghouse were made vot-
ing trustees for the benefit of the policy
holders, and it covers all OF Mr.. Ryan s
Interest including all the stock pur-
chased by him from James HI. Hyde
Morgan and his, partner declined to
give any details of the transaction. The
exact amount of the stock bought by
them and the price they paid are
for subsequent announcement. Nor
would they name any other interests
allied with them, although it is COM
monty understood in Wall street that at
least one large trust company may take
a hand in the deal. if the consent of the
Equitable is obtained.
Prior to confirmation of the transfer
neither Westinghouse nor O'Brien
would discuss either its details or it's
possibilities.
At the Offices of the Equitable society
President Paul Morton professed ignor-
ance of the transfer and news of the
change of control seemed to come as a
surprise to other officers.
