TRUST OFFICIALS
TO Be ARRESTED
ALL ARE TRYING TO SHIFT
RESPONSIBILITY
Funds Thought to Be Intact Found
to Have Been Tampered With.
Presbyterians Are
Worried

By Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept 1.--Justice
is to be meted to the men responsible
with Frank X. Nipple, the president Of
the Real estate Trust company, for the
collapse of that institution.
Announcement was made tonight that
the evidence so far unearthed by Re-
ceiver Earle had been turned over to
District Attorney Bell, who is expected
to cause the arrest of the wreckers.
The names of the men under suspicion
were not made public
Since his appointment Receiver Earle
has maintained that 1t could not have
been possible for Mr.. Nipple to entan-
gle the trust company's affairs with
out the knowledge of others connected
with the institution. Acting on this
impression he has been persistent In
his efforts to discover evidence of col
fusion. Directors, officials and clerks
of the company were called before Mr..
Earle today.
For the moment Mr.. Earle is giving
considerable attention to the matter Of
responsibility for the condition of the
trust company. The depositors gem
orally find fault with the directors for
their failure to acquaint themselves
with the bad condition of the COM
pany, and the directors, in turn. want
to know why William f. North and
the treasurer of the company, and
Horace Hill, the auditor, should not
have discovered Mr. Nipples irregular
transactions.
The Rev. DIR. William Henry Roberts,
clerk of the Presbyterian general as
sembly, has made formal application
to the receiver to examine the securi-
ties of the trustees of the general as
sembly. These were in the custody of
President Nipple and they amount to
nearly 81, 900, 900.
The report that certain directors and
their relatives withdrew their accounts
from the trust company after they
knew 1t was insolvent are denied by
officers of the institution.
Prompted by discoveries he has made
through investigations thus far, George
H. Earle, receiver of the Real Estate
Trust company, has asked Attorney
General John @. johnson to render a
legal opinion as to the responsibility
for the collapse of the bank
Upon Mr.. Johnson's finding will de-
pend the question of suing the direc-
tors.
"The deeper I probe into the affairs
of the company" added Mr.. Earle.
"the worse 1 find them. Conditions are
simply in a chaotic state.
"The trust funds which / heretofore
thought were intact have been tamp-
cred with and $5O,0OO been taken. This
is distributed among the $26, 100000 the
company had in trust and the loss will
not be heavy to any one of the trusts
involved
Mr. Earle today opened the Nipple
safety deposit box. but found nothing
that would aid In clearing up the
Hippel-Segal transactions.

Motoring Parties WhIrI Over caIIfor-
MIA Thorouehfares and Season
Bids Fair to Continue Until
Rainy Weather Sets In

Motor parties fairly cover every
thoroughfare in California at this stage
of the season, which apparently is not
to end until winter rains cause the
roads to become unpleasant for automo-
bile travel.
AS professional baseball or any other
line of sport drives outsiders to frenzied
periods at the game, so the numerous
auto contests which have occurred re-
Gently are hurting an impetus whose
force possesses no limit.
Unlike games of the field and gym
nasiun, automobiling is to have no
end. Barring the elements no diminu-
tion Is likely to occur. so strongly has
the new out-of-doors pastime Installed
itself.
Now that the danger of being ma
rooned upon some lonely and faraway
path because of unreliable machinery
has become practically obliterated.
nothing remains to prevent an indul-
gence.
The past week has been PARTICULARLY
prolific not only of touring parties but
of salesrooms' reports.
Maxwell, Rambler, REQ, Cadillac.
Wayne and White agencies report an
unprecedented sale of the popular ma
chimes and rather embarrassing con-
dition of affairs has resulted because
of the fact that the demand has ex-
ceeded the supply.
Dealers are doing the best they can
under the circumstances and several
representatives of local agencies are
preparing to leave for the east in or
der that they may negotiate for early
shipments
Local automobilists are complaining
of the high tolls exacted for admission
to many mountain roads leading to
the Yosemite valley and, coupled with a
scarcity of gasoline, the trip has re-
suited in anything but a pleasant run
of experiences for several parties who
have lately made the tour.
A large crowd of friends attended
the Turner hall ball given in honor
of Jack Keough the local chauffeur,
Thursday evening. Keough Is one of
the popular drivers catering to local
trade and the loss of his car entailed in
a recent fire resulted in the benefit Civ
en- by his friends.
Leon T. Shelter is distributing the
certificates of awards in connection
with the recent endurance run to
Riverside.
John T. Bill and company have leased
portion of the building at 1014-1020 s.
Main street In order to make room for
the standardization machines which
are about to arrive.
The Maxwell agency has passed a
most successful week and In addition
to several sales of the easy going ma
chine has received numerous inquiries
regarding the little Speedster, which
bids fair to become one of the most
popular runabouts of Los Angeles

The Yale policy was pretty well fig

much like the play so frequent In
basketball, is generally expected.
AS Head Coach Rockwell has played

holding the ball the backs will kick

1t is settled conviction among the
Yale coaches that injuries among the
players will be fully as frequent as un-

looked for frequently under the new

EMPLOYERS TRY
STRONG MEASURES
STRIKING CARMEN ARE TO BE
DISCHARGED
Men to stand by Their Original
Demand for Three Dollars Per
Day and Eight Hours
Work
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1.-Presi-
dent Calhoun this afternoon issued a
notice to all employees to report for
duty tomorrow morning. Failure to
comply with the order. It was stated,
would result In discharge from the SER
vice of the United Railroads. This
notice was posted in all the car barns.
A decided set back was given this
morning to the advocates of early peace
in the troubles between the striking
carmen ard the United Railroads.
When the union officials yesterday
decided to call mass meeting Of the
members this morning it was expected
by the public that the cars would be
running again today, but the weary
walking people have been doomed to
disappointment. The meeting was called
to consider the proposition of Presi-
dent Calhoun Of the United Railroads
to submit all questions to arbitration,
provided the strikers returned to work.
Mr.. Calhoun did not make his propo-
sition direct to the union and It was
upon this point that trouble began. Mr..
Calhoun's offer was made to Mayor
Schmitz and by him transmitted to the
union officials. When Calhouns offer
was read at the mass meeting at Cen
tral park today 1t was greeted with
a disappearing storm of cat calls and
Kisses. on motion 1t was decided not
to receive the proposal on the score
that 1t had not been sent to the union,
but to an outside party.
Hold to Demands
The union then decided that 1t would
remain steadfast to its original de-
mands of SO per day and eight hours
a day. 1t was further decided to tie
up the California street cable road and
the Geary street cable road if the de-
mands of the men are not granted by
O'Clock tonight. These roads have
already announced that they will abide
by whatever decision is reached by the
United Railroads Unless reversal
of this decision Is reached the last
means of street car conveyance left to
the public will be cut off tonight.
''I regret exceedingly that the men
have not seen fit to accept SO fair a
proposition as the one 1 made them,''
said President Calhoun of the United
Railroads, when told of the action of
the carmen. II would have liked very
much to see my old men come back
to work for me and accept arbitration
as means Of settling our difficulties
the means, will add, which l regard
as being an essential principle of union
ism as 1t is essential to employers !
will go right on getting cars running.
How soon they Will be running won't
say"
Following Is the statement of Thorn
well Mulally, assistant to President
Calhoun:
''The refusal Of the carmen Is be-
yond my comprehension, l thought
they would accept our proposal as a
matter of course. This is very seri-
GUS thing for the city. OF course we
have no option about running the
cars"
