TRUSTEE OF EQUITABLE
Position Vacant Since Death of
Grover Cleveland

DENVER, Colo, July 2.-Intimation
that Theodore Roosevelt will be asked
to serve as trustee Of the Equitable
Life Assurance society of New York
to succeed the late Grover Cleveland
was given here today by D. H. Moffat,
a Colorado capitalist, and one of the
directors of the insurance concern. The
office occupied by Mr.. Cleveland has
been vacant since his death.
while 1 have no official informa-
ton" said Mr.. Moffat, 81 have an idea
that Mr.. Roosevelt will be asked to
accept the position formely held by
Mr.. Cleveland. The trustees represent
the stockholders, and their selection
does not come before the board of di-
rectors, although doubtless they will
have some little influence in the mat
ter. ]. P. Morgan is the largest stock
holder and he will have the naming
of the man."
The terms of two trustees will ex-
nire at an early date, and it is ex-
pected that announcement of Mr..
CIeveland's successor will be made at
the time that successors to these trus-
tees are chosen.

WYCKOFE, PURITY

Denies That Resignation Is Con-
nected with, Perjury Charges
in the Dixon Case
CAPT. LEAVES FORCE, RUM0R
Sebastian, Appointed Lieutenant
Following Suspension of Ac-
CuSed Man, Begins Duties
CAPT. LEAVES FORCE, RUMOR

Following the suspension of Captain
Charles E. Dixon pending the outcome
of the investigation being conducted by
the police commission and the applica-
tion for complaints of perjury against
five members of the purity squad"
Patrolman David Wyckoft, former
member of the purity squad" re-
signed from the department yester-
day.
He handed his resignation to Chief
of Police Galloway shortly after noon.
Ii is likely that it will be placed be-
fore the police commission at the reg
ular meeting Tuesday night and an in
vestigation made.
Rumors that Dixon will resign were
more persistent yesterday than at any
time since the investigation of charges
against him began. Dixon would not
talk, but his attorney denied a report
that Dixon had entrusted to him a res
ignation to be turned in at the psy-
Geological moment.
Captain George H. Williams, who
was promoted from lieutenant when
Dixon was suspended, and Lieutenant
c. E, Sebastian, who was promoted
from sergeant to succeed Williams
took UP their new duties yesterday
Predictions were many that they never
will resume their old duties Sebastian
was head of the Chinatown squad, and
1t is said that he is regarded as one
of the most energetic officers in the
department.
When asked for his reason for with
drawing from the department at TINS
time, Wyckoff stated that he had a
position offered him in Coalinga and
that he was in no way connected with
the present hearing.
Assistant City Prosecutor sidney
Reeve and Attorney George Pearson,
who applied for the complaints of per-
Jury Friday against five of Dixon S
witnesses, were closeted with Deputy
District Attorney Alexander for more
than two hours yesterday. What
transpired is not known, but they in
timated that 1t was in connection with
the perjury complaints, They were
reticent regarding the matter.
There were reports about central po-
lice headquarters yesterday that Dixon
had placed his resignation in the hands
of his attorney, w. Ona Morton, VINO
intended to submit it to the commits
sion at the Tuesday night meeting
Morton declared that the rumors were
without foundation and that Dixon
would probably" fight the case to
bitter end.
"Has Dixon resigned?" he was
Not that I know Of" he quickly re-
plied. 'If he has I know nothing or
it," he added.
IF the charges of perjury are sus-
tained it will be q serious blow TO
CAPTAIN Dixons defense, which Is
largely based on the testimony of the
witnesses who are accused of giving
false testimony.

REFUSES BAIL TO
WATTERSON'S s SON
Condition of His Victim Is Report
ed Not to Be Very
Serious
FATHER TO VISIT HIM TODAY
Committed to Jail for Further Ex-
animation on Next
Thursday
TO VISIT HIM TODAY

KINGSTON, N. Y, July Ewing
Watterson, son of Col. Henry Waiter
son, editor, was arraigned today at
Saugerties on a charge of assault in
the first degree. 1t is charged that
Watterson, who is 40 years old, shot and
wounded Michael Martin. a saloon
keeper at Saugerties yesterday. An ap-
plication for bail was refused by Police
Justice Rhoades and the prisoner was
committed to the Kingston Jail for
further examination next Thursday
The assistant district attorney de
clared that Watterson had struggled
desperately with the officer who cap
tured him and that two loaded re-
volvers were found on him after his
arrest Public safety, he said, de-
manded that such a man should be
kept under restraint.
Watterson's counsel first asked a re-
lease on bail because, he said, Martins
condition was not serious. The prisoner
expected his father to spend the Fourth
of July with him, and it would be
wrong, he said, to ask a man of Col.
Watterson's age to pass a day in jail.
This afternoon counsel for Watterson
decided not to again apply for bail
until Col. Henry Watterson arrives
from New York Monday.

RELIGIOUS MANIA PLEA
FOR YOUNG WATTER5ON
Colonel Says Mans Shooting
Must Have Been Result
of Sons MaIady

NEW YORK, July 2.-Coficting re-
ports as to the identity of the man who
yesterday at Saugerties, n. Y, while
apparently demented, shot and slightly
wounded Michael Martin, a saloon
keeper, were cleared up today when il
was learned that Martins assailant
was Ewing WattersOn, eldest son OF
Col. Henry Watterson of Louisville
Ky. Watterson is under arrest at Sau-
gerties.
Col. Watterson, who is in this city
was apprised of his sons outbreak and
planned to go to Saugerties late today
or tomorrow to look after the young
mans interests. From him the circum-
stances of the case were learned.
Ewing WattersOn, his father says,
has for some years been the victim OF
a form of religious mania which has
failed to yield to any treatment. In
the effort to better his sons condition,
Col. Watterson placed him for some
time on a ranch III the west, and when
this environment failed to result in
Improvement, bought him farm in
the Hudson river hills, near Saugerties,
where it was hoped the air and quiet
surroundings would benefit him. EW-
ing Watterson, according to the reports
from Saugerties, entered Martins place
of business yesterday and created a
disturbance.
After some words with the proprietor
Watterson opened fire, shooting Martin
three times. None Of the bullets in
ficted serious injury.
From what could be learned of Col.
Watterson's plans, it is believed an at
tempt will be made to have the son
placed in a sanitarium or asylum. His
mania had never been manifested be-
fore in a violent form,
Another son of Col Watterson, Har-
vev Watterson, was killed in this city
in November, 1908, by falling from the
nineteenth floor of Wall street office
building.
