The strike of concrete mixers on the Broad street pave came to a sudden termination this morning, when all the employes showed up for work and hud nothing to say about their demands as formulated yesterday at noon. The strike of the 1G hands employed at this department of the paving started yesterday at noon, the men demanding a reduction in hours from ten to nine. They failed to notify their employers of this demand before the strike started, and as a result received neither a positive nor a negative answer from them. This morning the contractorj were surprised to are all the men return to work without a word about their demand of yesterday. This conclusion of the strike leads to the belief that the men wanted a half holiday, Instead of a reduction In working hours. MR. DEPEW'S PROFITS. j SCORES FINANCIERS. QUIETLY RECEIVED. "Petty Pilferers of the Sav Kaiser's Friendship Causes Millions of Equitable Mc Risked in Syndicate. ings of the Poor." Much Fear. New York, Sept. 28.—Driving the probe Into secret recesses of the Equitable Life Assurance society never reached by the probes wielded by the Frlck committee. Superintendent of Insurance Hendricks and the expert accountant employed by Paul .Morton, president of the society, the Armstrong legislative investigating committee, Bitting in the aldermauic chamber iu city hall, brought to the surface facts about the misuse and abuse of the funds of the society which startled even those who thought they had been hardened by the previous revelations In relation to the Equitable Life, tile New York Life and the .Mutual Life. It was shown that many millions of dollars of Equitable money had been risked iu syndicate operations and that the bulk of the profits of such transactions went to officers of the society who In many instances, It Is believed, did not put up a dollar with wtyich to share In the risks. New York, Sept. 28.—Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, in u letter which he sent to Paul Morton declined to serve as a director of the Equitable Life Assurance society, and at the opening exercises of the university he bitterly scored the university men involved in the recent financial scandals, saying they lacked character and that their reputations through publicity of their wrongdoing had vanished like snow before a strong sunshine. St. Petersburg, Sept. 28.—M. Witte arrived home at 8:25 o'clock this morning, at an hour when most of the citizens of St. Petersburg were asleep. The railway station was filled with officials of the ministry of finance and with personal friends of the peace envoy and many newspaper men, but there were no crowds in the streets to greet the returning statesman who had brought peace to his country. WORK FOR TEMPERANCE M. Witte proceeded at once to his home, where he was joyously received by Madame Wltte. He was the recipient of numerous lloral offerings, which had been sent to his home.

Dr. Butler's remarks met with the appioval of lils hearers, and when he described the "reckless speculators with the money of others'' as "petty pilferers of the savings of the poor and needy" they broke out Into applause. The unusually cordial reception which was accorded to M. Wltte by the kaiser during the envoy's visit to the German ruler has made a deeper impression here than did all of Witte's work at Portsmouth. His enemies have been frightened by the kaiser's very evident friendship for him, and even the czar has been greatly Impressed by the high favor in which M. Witte Is held by Emperor William.

Persons who had in inind tlie "Turner loans" and who heard the testimony said there was little wonder that General Fitzgerald had grown to be a millionaire many times over with such golden opportunities for gathering riches put lu his way by the old Alexander-Hyde management of the society. One of the chief surprises came when It was revealed by the testimony of a clerk In the Equitable society that two more mysterious "trustee accounts" existed and that the amounts Involved ran up into large figures. One is known as the "George H. Squire trustee account" aud the other as the "Marcellus Hartley trustee account." Many of the large Items appearing in those two accounts do not appear in the books of the Equitable society, although both accounts are believed to be in reality Equitable accounts.

The result was that when tile parade took place at 11 o'clock, there was an exceptionally large throng of people on the streets. The center of the city was' crowded with people, and they were amply repaid for the effort they had made to witness the parade. The parade took 2a minutes to pass a given point. The leading vans were tilled with a tine collection of lions, tigers and I'olar bear, all open to the view. it was the general comment of those who witnessed the parade that no liner collection of wild animals was ever exhibited in tills city, and the generous spirit of tin- circus management was manifested in the large number of open cages seen in tile parade. Mr. Uagenbeek has certainly brought together a magnificent collection of animals and they appear to be in excellent condition. Special mention may he made of the exceptionally large herd of elephants, 11 of them being .seen in line. The horses which drew the vans, each having a fourhorse team, were tine specimens also.'

The greed for gain aud the greed for power have blinded men to the time old distinction between right and wrong. Both among business men and tlie bar are found ad visers, codnted shrewd and successful, who have substituted the penal code for the moral law as the standard of conduct. Right and wrong"have given way to the subtler distinction between legal, not legal anil illegal, or, better perhaps, between honest, law honest and dishonest.
