LOBBY IS DISCLOSED Insurano People Formed Pool to Influence Solons. HAM LION WAS THECHIEF Schlff Says Equitable Finance Com* mittee Wes Simply “All Hyde, All Hyde and Alexander” and No Others. J. When tho legislative committee on . tho Insurance Investigation adjourn- ej at New York Friday until Wed nesday, October 4, It concludes a week In which greater progress has been made than In any week since tho Investigation was begun. At Fri day’s session, when Alfred W. Maine, 1/ * a associate auditor of the Equitable Aasgrunce Society, was called to tfae stand it w;s disclosed that the Equit able Life, the Mutual Life and thd New York Life companies had formed a pool to look after legislation before the various state, legislatures. Andrew Hamilton, to whom Presi dent McCall of the New York LiSe paid Several checks, was one of t'iie chief members of tho legal staff for these companRs and was employed and received money for services from the Equitab'e amounting to $65,596 hi ■eight years. —Edward I. Devlin, the real estate manager of the New York Life for the United States a..d Canada, testi fied as to the cost of the building in Paris. It was brought out that the Paris building was carried on the books of the company at a valuation of $1,102,604, whereas with the orig* nal cost and improvements on the build ng, actual money to the amount of $2,ii33,ir'4 was paid,, over $1,000,* 000 being charged off the valuation on the books of the company. The most impoitant witness was Jacob H. Schiff, head of the banking firm of Kuhn, Lceb & Co. As one point after another was brought out ho grew excited and vigorously de fended his attitude while a director of the Equitable society and claimed his firm had acted in a conscientious manner in all its 'dealings with the socle! y. Mr. Schlff asked to be allowed to make a statement. He made an Im passioned attack pn the state super intendent of insurance and statements he had made concerning Kuhn, I^oeb & Co. during the investigation of the Equitable. * _ The entiire finance committee was at the mercy of one man. “It was all Hyde,” said M*. Echiff, “all Hyde and Alexander. Mr. Hyua wrote the mes sages regarding tho offers made by my firm for participation in syndi cates. Mr. Hi/de signed all the re ceipts. Mr. Hyde wro e all the let ters.’’ lu the matter of James H. Hyde and cssociates syndicate, Mr. Schiiff accused Mr. Hyde cf trying to shield himself. He said: “The vice of the entire insurance shuation has been irresponsible power/’ During the testimony, too, Mr. Schiff made the charge ihat the minutes of the finance committee regarding a certain meeting were false. He later qualified this, however, by saying if the transaction under sonsideration, one in Union Pacific preferred, was actually made, he did not hear it, though he was present at the meet ing. DESPERADO BITES DUST. I PACKERS TURNED DOWN. Outlaw Simms Laid Low by Sheriff and Deputies with Fourteen Bullets in His Body. Will E. Simms, slayer of Conductor Julius LanJsberg of the Seaboard Air Line some six weeks ago at Eilabell, Bryan county, Ga., and later of James Perry, a negro, was himself shot and killed Thursday afternoon in Liberty coun. y, about ten miles north of Flem ing. Simms was killed by officers of the law, who had been on bis track for many hours, when ti>y set out ni pur suit of him cn receipt of the news that he had started in the direciioa of his old haunts in Liberty coujilj. These officers were Sheriff James Par- isii cf Bryan county dud his two dep uties, M. A. Gibson and H. F. Dukes. They left Eilabell and followed the trace of Simms as they picked it up here and there, where he had stopped on his way. About two hours after Simms had departed from e negro’s house, Wed nesday evening, where he had killed a small pig,- and had it roasted for him, the oQcctb arrived. They took a rest then for the night, and early Thursday morning were astir. Then they found a bed in a haystack, just 100 yards from where they had slept. It was there Simms had slept, blit he had got a good start, being up earlief than they. To the Canoochee river they traced Simms, and there lest his track for a time, but presently met A. Fra burn, who told them ho had seen Simms a short while before, sitting in the yard of a man named Parker, Simms’ fath er-in-law. The officers thereupon star'ed for Parker’s. Arrived there, they saw no one in the yard save two small children. Sheriff Parish divided his force, approaching the house from one side, while bis deputies each ap proached from another direction. Aji three arrived fit the houee at the same time. The elder of the children spied the officers and shouting, “Willie,Wil- Te; here they come.’’ and ran to the house. The officers, not having soon Simms, had concluded he was off in the fields somewhere. They entered The house, watchful with their weapons. At the cry of the child, Simms ever alert, seized his Winchester ritle and start ed out the rear door. Catching sight of Sheriff Parish he fired at the officer at a dis'anoe of less than twenty yards. He missed, and fired but once more. Deputy Gibson fired the shot that struck Simms first, the sheriff having 9red with his rifle and missed/ Simm.^. Lost Conten'i'on in Court Through Judge’s Decision Against Their Plea in Abatement. At Chicago, Friday, Federal Judge Otis J. Humplney sustained the de murrer filed by United States District Attorney .Morrison to the pica in abatement made by packers to have indiclments for alleged restraint de clared void. Judge Humphrey said he made his decision on broad grounds without taking into consideration technicalities which the governmen: advanced against Lie plea in abate incut. It is likely that 'the jury for the trial will be drawn about the middle of Octobdr. After tho decision had been given tho defending attorneys tried to amend the fourth plea by the inser tion of tho word “for."' This met with resistance from the district at torney, but t’he cemrt promlsc'd that if the law was clear on the point Lo would allow it. The government is sa j to fear a trick in the insertion of the one word. The district attor ney moved that the defendants plead to the indictment. One of the points In the pleading which attracted considerable atten tion and which the court declared had given him some difficulty was in re gard to the right of Judge R. H. BetToi to tecelve the return of the indictment. It was argued by the de fense that he was sitting in the east ern div.sicn of the northern district .of Illinois and received an indictment vo id in the northern division of the northern district of Illinois. The district attorney declared that ,if the law cf Marcn 31, 1905, was construed against his contentions there wrs no court, no judge and no return of F c indictment. The court surprised almost every one when he road from President Roosevelt's mes sage in the Congressional Record of last November in which it is declar ed that Judge Bethea was appointed as a successor to Judge C. C. Kohl- saat, promoted from #:;e distilot court to the circuit court. This promotion gave Judge Bethea tho right to accept the return of aa indictment in the old district. MORGAN SAYS ROYAL WELCOME FOR WITTE. Alabama Senator Declines)o Go on Junket to Panama, 1 SO WRITES TO SEABOARD’S VALUE FIXED. FORGER HOLDS ON TO BOODLE.

So far es could he ascertained at New York, no attempt has yet been made by the thief who got possession of $360,000 worth of securities by pre senting a forged check at the national city bank to dispose of them.

Further Progress of War Would Have Been Hard on Islanders. A Tokio special says: ‘Notwithstan ding the silence of the government the real fact is disclosed that Japan made peace at Portsmouth in fear oi a financial breakdown. The war proved more ccstly than had been calculated and the rice and cereal crops seemed doomed to fail ure. Six months more cf war would have meant very hard times, for the masses of the people are very poor and rice is their bread and meat. TO REDUCE FEVER FIGHTERS. New Orleans Will Distance With Sur plus of Health Force. A New Orleans special says: With the steady improvement in the yellow fever situation there is expected to be a gradual reduction cf the forces now employed under the auspices oi the government In the struggle to eradicate the disease. fell to his-knees when struck by Gib son’s shot, but the officers knew his determination, and saw he was still trying to work kis rifle. They poured rhot alter shot into him until his body was riddled. One bullet nearly cut off ‘Simms’ hand at the wrist. Parker oa-me up from the fields, at tracted by the shooting. I-e knew what t meant. He said he wrs surprised Simms had not been killed before that, it was found that fenir ecn shots had taken effect upon Simms. A wagon was secured and Simms’ body was taken to Eilabell. The death of the outlaw will relieve Bryan coun ty of deep apprehension, such has been the terror of his name and of the deeds he has committed. Sheriff Parish is being generally commended for his work. ROBBERS ABOARD STEAMER. ^ireless Message Calls for Detectives to Ba in Waiting. A wireless message was received In Savannah Thursday by Cap ain Savage, local agent for the Ocean Steamship company, from Capt. Fish er cf the steamsh’p City of Atlan-a, or. the way from New York, request ing him to have detectives at the dock upon the arrival of the vessel.

Sweden and Norway Agree Upon Mu* tual Terms of Divorce. It is officially announced that a full agreement on dissolution has been reached by Norway and Sweden. The text of the official statement follows: “The Norwegian-Swedish del egates at Karlstad Saturday finished the negotiations, at which unanimity has been reached. The result will be published simultaneously at Stock- hold and Uhristlania early next week. ny PH way and the Seaboard Air Line will have to pay taxes on their property in the state for 1903. As a result cf thcs>? arbitrations th*j Sou hern railway will pay taxes on $1,454,843 more than in 1904, while the increase in tho Seaboard’s valua tion over 1904, including the Geor gia portion of its new line to Bir mingham, is only $470,151. While the Southern has secured a reduction in its assessment of $1,033,- 000 end the Seaboard was put down $1,792,000, the Atlantic Ccast Line, which was the first arbitrated, had the comptroller general’s assessment sus tained and must pay taxes on over $2,000,000 more than in 1904. 4 The board of arbitrators in the case of the Seaboard Air Line fixed the value of that comiany’s tangible property in Georgia at $7,956,500 and franchise at $1,500,000, a total cf $9,- 456,560. From this finding Railroad Commis sioner Warner Hill, representing the state, dissents most emphatically and is preparing a dissenting opinion in which he states his views. He will bring out the fact that a representative of the railroad company swore in the United States court last November that the Seaboard’s property in Geor gia was v.’orth $30,103,000. Mr. Hill says he cannot see how a property can be worth such an amount as this for the purpose of paying interest and dividends, when it is worth only a little more than seven millions for tho purpose of taxation.

' Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama wrote a letter to Chairman T. IP. Shouts of the Panama canal comm s- aion, declining the invit-aticn to lb- company the commission which iclt New York Thursday for Panama. T^e senator thinks nothing will be accom plished by the trip. Ills letter sajjj in part: “In your telegram of the 22d in stant you speak of a large party who aro to sail with the commission an^ the advisory board to Colon and arto to have comfortable facilities foi making tours of inspection and exam ination of the canal. In the matte; of sightseeing, such facilities will af ford mucM xrieasure, which I regipt l am not prepared to enjoy; but I do not suppose that such a surface iu- spoct.on of the appearance of condi tions in Panama would give me any data from which I could form any Judgment as to the practicability of * lock canal, or a sea level canal, or the piMfcieiise due to either plan, or as to the cost, or the time required for the completion of the canal on either plan. “I could not wisely, intelligently or justly give an opinion tb any commis sioner, or to any member of the ad visory board as to the possibility of a dam at Bahio, 163 feet below tha level of the sea, that would supply the canal at 90 feet above sea level; or as to a dam at or below Gatun that would supply a can^tl u‘c 30 feet above sea level-; or as to a dam at Gamboa that would control the waters of the Chagres river; or as to a pos sible tunnel to either ocean to carry’ Off those flood waters. “I could not Inform the able, cour ageous and distinguished chief of the hyg4enic service in the canal zone' whether, if we should flood all the/ breeding places of the stegomyla fas/ ciata. with great lakes, we would not / increase tlrem a thousand fold alo^jj fresh water, in the tropical under growth that would spring up around them in a few hours. Indeed, this is no question, among the many vital interests that concern this great in quiry. upon which r.uy rational mind could give any reliable information or form any correct judgment, from whatr one could see or hear in the tours' along the canal zone that this party* of visitors will have the opportunity; to make. “I must say that I distrust the ex-’- peeted advantages to congress or to the country, of such an excursion ot, the value of any opinion that may be formed on great engineering problems by a body of gentlemen who are non/ professional and must form their con clusions from surface appearances. Neither of these important commit tees can derive any .<rgltimate conclu sions upon vital facts that must con trol that vast subject, from the opin ions of those who are mere guests of an excursion party, and they will be men of extraordinary self poise, if they ere not Influenced by what may be a prevailing sentiment among them. “Since the ratification of the Hay- Varilla treaty, which I opposed, I have done all that I could and much more than I thought could ever be of ad vantage to the country to sustain tha government in its purpose to construct a canal in Panama. Yet I have not believed that success could crown their efforts, even in their most cost ly and desperate form. You may find the key to unlock the barriers that nature has interposed at Panama. If you should be so fortunate, I will applaud your genius and courage. I will vote to provide you with every reasonable authority and power to ac complish your task and to meet your tremendous responsibility. “In the effort to answer your friend ly invitation with perfect frankness, if I have said anything that jars upon your sensibilities, I have not so in tended it and would regret it. I beg to assure you of my sincere respect and to say that I will rejoice with- you in the successful completion of the great work in your charge. Sin cerely yours, (Signed) “JOHN T. MORGAN.” Peace Envoy Accorded Hearty Recep- ception on Arrival in Capital. Mr. Witte arrived in St. Petersburg at 8:25 a. m. Thursday and was ac corded a hearty reception by a large crowd of officials and others. In a brief speech replying to a welcoming address Mr. Wit e showed clearly that he was deeply touched by the welcome with which he was received. WLen he left St. Petersburg in July last a small delegation of officials accompanied him to the railroad sta tion to bid him farewell. There; was no public demonstration wha ever. O-n his return there were seven or eight times p-s many officials, despite the early hour of arrival, and an en thusiastic crowd of Jivo or six hun dred people. The crowd had collected near where Mr. Witte would descend from the train, and when he appeared they broke out in’o long and loud cheers, for which Mr. Witte bowed acknowl edgments. The spokesman then ad vanced and read the address of wel come, ail in the meanwhile standing bareheaded. The address read: “You have accomplished your diffi cult task, and th’fe nation is grateful to you. You have given the credit for your success to Emperor Nicholas, {’resident Roosevelt, Emperor William of Germany and to the press. -\ou have forgotten only youraaif. We. hov/ever, fully appreciate your serv ices to your country. The tree planted at the Washington homestead at Mt. Vernon will serve as a token of the union between the two nations. You have done much. “For ourselves and for those who are absent we will once more shout a hearty hurrah." When the cheer had died away Mr. Witte, who seemed aeeply moved by the sincerity of the welcome, advanc ed a few steps and delivered his re ply. Ho s .id: “I was sc little prepared for this kind of reception that I -must ask your pardon for the incoherence of my words. I have performed my duty well, because I have strictly obeyed his majesty’s instructions, because cir cumstances favored me, because the world is weary of this bloody war, because all classes of American so ciety from President Roosevelt down were in sympathy with my and our cause, because I was true to my coun try and her and our interests.” Mr. Witte’s last word was followed by further loud and hearty cheering. FIVE BRUTALLY MURDERED. Mother, Daughter and Three Sons Vic tims Of Assassins In Texas. ■T . -Vogditt. and lu iu. -*ii Tl*V- dren, a daugnier~oi la, and tfiTSe boys from 6 to 10 years ola, were murdered in cold blood at their home near Edna, Texas, Thursday.

A negro boy about 12 years old was plowing in a field near the house at the time of the killing and heard the children screaming; he saw a man running after the woman, who was running around the house. Being afraid to go to the house, he ran to a neighbor’s house and told what he had seen. The party informe » ran to the place and found theTive members of the family killed. Officers were informed at cnee and the entire county start ed out in posses in search of tho mur derers. It is supposed there were two of them. Peckham Trial Postponed. The case of Frederick A.
