THE MORGAN DEAL
FOR THE EQUITABLE

subject to the deed of trust made by Thomas F. Ryan to three
trustees, on behalf of the polcyhoders, can excite no apprehen-
sion, as would have been the case if Hartman had succeeded in
getting control of the company. 1t was the stock owned by Ryan,
and bought by him from James Hazen Hyde, and now sold to
Morgan, that Hartman sought to purchase, and which would have
given him absolute control. There was then no deed of trust and
no voting trustees for the policy holders. The new purchaser will
have a voting majority of the stock, but that majority no longer
dominates all the trustees, and twenty eight of the ffty.two trus-
tees are named by the policy-hoders. The assets of the Equitable
amount to more than $4,000 900, and it's immense accommodations
of money are eagerly sought by large borrowers. In the time Of
President Hyde certain stocks and bonds that cannot now be in
vested in were legal investments for the company's funds. 1t is
not improbable that the Morgan purchase involves other great
transactions, yet to be announced or consummated. The Equitable
is closely allied in interest with certain large financial corpora
lions. In getting control of the Equitable Mr.. Morgan secures
large stock holdings in the Equitable and Mercantile Trust COM
panies and the National Bank of Commerce, the second largest
bank in the United States. J. Pierpont Morgan has long been a
dominating figure in the financial world, as he is in the world of
art, and his financial sway is increasing. The Morgan interests
now own or control whole groups of banks and trust companies
and if the great life insurance companies are taken in there will
be a consolidation of money power such as is without parallel in
the world.

SURVIVOR OF INDIAN MUTINY."


A survivor of the famous Indian
Mutiny"-the native rebellion against
British rule in India In 1S57-has been
interviewed by Robert ~Shackleton for
Harper's Magazine, and Mr.. ShackIe-
ton writes the mans story in the Oc-
tober number. James Ervine was a
private in the English army and was
sent to India in the days when 1t took
more than four months to get there.
The story is old in Ervine's own lam
guage, n it is a tale straight from
life of hard fighting among strange
scenes and stranger people. There
was always by way of speaking" he
said, "a sort of what you'd perhaps
call mystery about it-about the land
itself and the men there and the
strange women, n you came to like
it all" Even the fighting this old sol
dier liked There wasn't any quarter
given. No prisoners taken. = . .
We just killed all we met"

The English Budget.

To the Editor OF the Star:
My Dear Sir-I am interested in
you editorials on the English situa-
ton. You see much to condemn in
the rejection of the budget by the
House of Lords, and nothing to
commend. Immemorial usuage Is
affronted; time-honored customs
have been overrldden, and In con-
sequence the people of England are
clamoring for the abolition of the
upper house.
AS you say, government is divided
between the Commonsand the Lords,
the sovereign exercising little more
than formal powers. 1t is conceded
that the power to levy taxes for the
raising of revenue lies with the
Commons, but all such acts must
receive the sanction of the Lords
before becoming laws.
In giving approval to such laws,
are the Lords under no obligation?
Would it be their duty to sanction
legislation manifestly unwise? They
comprise within their body repre-
sentative citizens and men of great

THE
THAT CATTERS GERMS

Woodward: when a handkerchief is waved the wind blows the
germs from it. Typhoid fever, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, small
pox, chickenpox, measles, leprosy and d~iphtheria may be thus
spread" 1t is disquieting to reflect upon the unsupported dangers
50 many people have been exposed to from the obtrusive handker-
from thousands of handkerchiefs the germs of typhoid, tubercu-
losis and other maladies are scattered in the air. Wedding guests
waving farewells to departing bridal couples, and crowds on steam
ship piers greeting friends on ocean liners, are unwittingly doing
the same thing. The handkerchief figures in all the social rela-
lions of life and in many of its romances, and it is an indispensable
feature of love affairs. And to think that, after all, it is a har-
borer and conveyor of the deadly germs that are so active in carry
ing off humanity. And yet it would seem that the District Of
Columbia health officer goes beyond the limit in his germ theory.
But it is to be feared that, however true the same, the handker-
chief will not cease to be futtered in the air the same as ever.
All the doctors in the land can't break the handkerchief habit in
social life.
