MORGAN CONTROLS
THE EQUITABLE
Financier Has Purchased the Majority
of the Stock in the Big lnsur-
ance Company.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The control
OF the Equitable Life Assurance soci.
ETY., which was secured by Thomas F.
Ryan after the insurance scandals
some years ago has passed to j. Pier
pont Morgan with the s472.000,000 as
sets which the company declared in
the last statement. The transfer COM
pletely reverses the old order by
which the insurance companies con-
trolled the destinies of banks and
trust companies. The following was
issued from the officers OF Morgan and
Company
Mr.. Morgan bought the majority of
the stock of the Euitable Life AS
surance Society, formerly owned by
Thomas +. Ryan. This purchase is
subject to the trust under which Grow
er Cleveland, Morgan ]. OBrien and
George Westinghouse were made vot-
ing trustees for the benefit of the
policy holders; 1t covers all Ryan's in
terests, including all the stock he pur-
chased from James H. Hyde
The amount of stock bought and
the price paid were withheld, but it is
understood that at least one trust
company will be in the deal If the con
sent OF the Equitable is obtained.
Prior to the confirmation of the
4 transaction neither Westinghouse OIL
/ O'Brien would discuss 1t.

THE DES MONIES
RIVER ON TEAR
At no Time in History Of the State
Has It Been So High
During December.

DES MONIES, Dec. 3.-Continued
rains in the northern part of Iowa
aas caused the Des Moines river to
rise so rapidly that it overflowed its
banks in the southeast bottoms. It
had passed the twelve-foot stage az
s o'clock and was still rising.
Only a comparatively small quantity
of water has run onto the lowlands,
but more is expected. This has made
the inhabitants Of that district fear
some damage, so several prepared to
mcve out.
At no time in the history Of the
state has the river been as high dur.
ing the month Of December as 1t Is
today, and unless tae rain ceases OF
a hard freeze occurs serious damage
viii be done.
Reports from towns along the rivel
north of this city say the water i
III usually high and one or two places
relort that the river has been out Q

HAWLEY AND MooREs
Railway War is Expected in Which
Millions viii be Spent in
Buying up Other Great
Roads.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Two great
continental railroads are to spring out
of the separation of the Rock Island
Frisco system. One is to be controll-
ed by Edwin Hawley and B, F. Yoak-
um and the other by the Moores and
d. G. Reid This conviction settled
upon Wall street when it was official.
ly announced that w. H. Moore, his
son. E. S. Moore, now assistant to the
vice president of the Rock Island, and
D. G. Reid are to be given places on
the Lehigh Valley board Of directors
The conviction that stupendous
deals are pending in the railroad
world was further enhanced that the
statement would be made in few
days to the effect that the Moores
would be given representation on the
board of the Wabash Road. These two
events would mean a material chang
ing of the railway map of the country
and the creation of two rival trans
continental systems from the Atlantic
seaboard to the gulf.
AS Wall street sees the situation
the changes which have recently tax
en- place in the railroad map Of ths
country means this:
First-That Edwin Hawley, aidet
by B. F. Yoakum, or Yoakum aided b,
Hawley is to be in the railroad worl'
what Hartman was, maker Of grea
railway systems.
i Second-That the Moores and D. G
4 Reid are to be, rivals of Yoal1um an
1 Hawley in buying up railroads an
welding them into harmonious sy'
TENS.
Third That there is to be wa
i grim, relentless war, in which million
of money will be spent, between thes
two factions in the railroad world.
Fourth That the Moores are stri'
ing to get a transcontinental rout
! from the seaboard to the gulf and po
sibly across two continents by tn
way of Mexico City.
Fifth-That the Yoagum-Hawle
combination has the same abition, an
that there is to be race between tn
two financial interests for the go;
sought, a cooperation system of tran
) continental lines.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-That Presi-

conspiracy to defraud the government.
Par discovered the fraudulent
manipulations of the sugar trust
