New York, June §.—Wednesday will
be one of the saddest birthdays James
Hazen Hyde ever celebrated -If he re

ago, and all that the day might have
meant to him had there been no ecan

old on that day and comes Into full
possbsslnn of the legacy left him by hla
father, Henry B. Hyde, former preel
dent of the Equitable.
On reaching the age of 21 Hyde be
came one of hla own trustees, and live
years ago the number was deercaned to

Then came the deluge of scandal
which for a time threatened to wreck

the actual transfer to be made on
Hyde’s thirtieth birthday. The liyan

The actual transfer will take place
Wednesday. Mr. Hyde la In Parts, and

A rumor that would not down today

many In Ihe financial district who
blame Tarbell'a ambition for the Equit

whole Insurance Investigation. The 20
per cent cut In salaries which was In
stituted when President Morton came
Into office cut Tarbell from 100,000 to

Cokey, representing the Ulon of Ele

advocated trades unions among women.
She said she did not like strikes, yet
the lot of the stoman worker waa a
constant atruggle against her male
competitor and her employer, and that
the only hope was to put the women
on a parity with the men through the
trades union.
Mias Casey’s remarks stirred the
wrath of some of the club women who
haveibeen coping with the servant girl
problem, and when the conference svaa
over, they took Mlsa Casey to task for
her utterances.

president of the Tuesday Club, order
ed the working girls "bark lo the
kitchens,'' which she said were yawn
