Uncertainty About Assets.

Although Receiver Earle appears
hopeful of opening the bank at an
early date, many of the creditors ex-
press some doubts as to his ability to
do so because of the uncertainty of the
Segal sugar refinery here as an asset.
Mr.. Earle regards it as valuable. It
has developed that Segal's equity in
the plant is represented by 40 per cent
of the stock. This has been handed to
Mr.. Earle, who is desirous of securing
control of the remaining 81 per cent
There are rumors that he intends to
bring suit against the American Sugar
Refining company, which holds the con-
trolling interest in the Segal refinery,
In court of equity and also under the
Sherman act
The preliminary hearing of Adolph
Segal, the promoter; William f. North,
treasurer, and Marshall S. Collingwood,
assistant treasurer of the Real Estate
Trust company, took place, and the
three were held in heavy bail for trial.
The evidence presented through wit
nesses by District Attorney Bell at the
hearing disclosed the methods by which
Segal and Nipple wrecked the trust
company. The most damaging testi-
mony was that to the effect that both
Nipple and Segal had repeatedly over
drawn their accounts with the knowl-
edge of the treasurer and assistant
treasurer. These overdraws were car
ried as cash accounts. On the day Hip
pie died there was an overdraft of $64,-
900 against the president, which was
converted by Collingwood into loan.
showing Nipples account to be appar-
emily straight. These overdrafts of
Nipple and Segal at times amounted to
more than 100000. There was on de-
posit in the bank approximately $1,000
600, and the loans made to Segal
amounted to S5,3O9,2OO. Many of the
securities which have since been found
to be insufficient were bonds and stocks
in the Segal enterprises and were ap-
proved personally by Nipple.
Tells of SegaI's Overdrafts.
AT the hearing Robert d. Ghriskey,
cashier of the trust company, the first
witness, told of frequent overdrafts by
Segal either individually or as treasur-
er of one of his companies or Nipple
He regularly took the overdraft checks
to Nipple, who would grow pale, pace
the floor and then say:
"Well, guess we will have to pay
this.'
The Nipple and Segal overdrafts were
intermingled, he said, and were carried
in one envelope as cash account.
'These overdrafts, said Ghriskey.
worried me, and I frequently told
North about them. He always referred
me to Nipple.
Sometimes I went to Collingwood,
the assistant treasurer, who agreed
with me that the overdrafts were not
sound business. He knew what was
going on and often referred to SegaI
as the devils Deputy

Hearing DiscIoses Methods by Which
Real Estate Trust Company Was
Wrecked = Promoter Called "DeviPs
Deputy" by Assistant Treasurer-Re-

Philadelphia, Sept. Ito determine
the responsibility of the directors of
the wrecked Real Estate Trust COM
pany State Banking Commissioner
Berkey appointed as special bank ex-
aminers Charles NJ Vollum and Meyer
Goldsmith, expert registered account
ants, who, with the consent of Receiv-
er Earle, began thorough examina-
ton of the assets and liabilities.
Commissioner Berkey stated that the
examination should not occupy more
than four or five days. The law gives
the examiners the right to interrogate
under oath any director, official or en-
ployee of the trust company or of any
other company holding assets of the
defunct concern. During the past few
years, Mr.. Berkey declared, practically
every director of the Real Estate Trust
company had certified to the correct
ness of the reports filed by the COM
pany with the state banking depart
ment. These reports, he said, appear
to have been false. If his examination
sustains the falsity of the reports, Mr.
Berkey declared, he would proceed
against the directors and make an is
sue of their responsibility, which has
never been decided by the courts of
this state.
Receiver Hopes to Reopen.
Receiver Earle, after a conference
with the directors of the trust COM
pany, issued a statement announcing
that he hopes soon to reopen the doors
of the bank and that all depositors
will be protected. Mr.. Earle says the
directors have responded to his solici-
ztations to help reorganize the company,
but he did not state what amount of
money they have guaranteed.
Receiver Earle's plan of reorganiza-
ton provides for the reopening of the
bank by the payment of 30 per cent in
cash to depositors and 80 per cent in
preferred stock guaranteed by collater-
at bonds, 40 per cent to be paid with

to resign their offices upon promise of

grew out of the fact that Mayor Rose

His Purpose.
New York, Sept. 7.-When the La
Provence steamed down New York
harbor, bound for Havre, there stood
on her deck one who looked his last on
America, the land of his adoption, for
he is on his way to Lecco, in Lombafdy,
Italy, to commit suicide ON the grave
of his sweetheart.
Luigi Contarimi is the mans name.
He is but twenty-four years old, and
his return is in compliance with the
wish of Josephine Ballantini expressed
in her letter to him written just before
she drank a fatal potion rather than
marry one whom her parents would
force upon her.
Luigi has been in America four years.
Soon after his arrival he went to Okla
homa, where he prospered and became
a wealthy, ranch owner.
Promised to Wait For Him.
When he left Lecco he bade goodby
to Josephine. She vowed to wait for
him until he could provide a home for
her in the wonderful country beyond
the seas.
AS time sped the parents of Josephine
also prospered. They no longer smil-
ed upon the pretensions of Luigi, but
picked out young man of the village
for their son-in-law, and Josephine was
told that she must become his wife
Josephine wrote to Luigi and told
him her trouble, but she swore that she
would remain true to him She would
die first, she said. Parental authority
was insistent, however, and the day
was set for the wedding All waited
the bride, but she came not. Then she
was found lying dead, and by her side
was the letter to Luigi. Ip it she said
that she could not live without him,
and she asked that he join her in the
great beyond.
