TEN MILLIONS

Philadelphia's Nipple Failure Reveals
Some Sensational Charges
of Fraud

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Sept. 5.-lt
is said that the Real Estate Trust com
pany shortage will exceed $10,OOO,OOO
before the receiver finishes his investiga-
ton.
The arrest of Segal. North and Col
lingwood today had been expected for
several days, but the district attorney
would not name them until late last
night.
Warrants Charge Fraud
The affidavits accompanying the war
rants were sworn to by Walter c.
Browning, a depositor and creditor of
the Real Estate Trust company. They
aver that Segal, North and Collingwood,
with Frank X. Nipple, the president of
the company who committed suicide, and
with other unknown persons, defraudcd
the trust company ''out of many millions
of dollars" and that they fraudulently
applied the money to their own use.
1t is further charged that Segal was
an abettor to the embczzlement of the
many millions of dollars, and that North
committed perjury.
Segal Is Central Figure
Adolph Scgal, who is looked upon as
the principal in the failure of the inStl-
tuition had nothing to say after his ar
rest. He contented himself by referring
all persons to his attorneys. SegaI IS Il
promoter of many enterprises i'll tins
city and throughout the state of Penn
sylvania. To carry ON his operations he
borrowed Receiver Earle says, more
than $5,00O,GOO for which he gave to
President Nipple, the only man in the
bank Il dealt with, securities that We're
insufficient. 1t was at first believed
that Hipple did not benefit by his deal
i,nC entertainments
showed that he was deep in the schemes
of SegaI and a partner i'll some OF his
companies.
Segal since the failure has repeatedly
declared that all his transactions were
regular, that he had not committed an
unlawful act and that he was able to
repay the trust company all the money
he had borrowed. In Il recent inter
view he declared that he was specu,
Iator in bricks, mortar and machinery,
that he dealt i'll material things and dld
not make his money by reading the STOCK

THE ILLINOIS ISSUE
Note to Subscribers

To all those who have sent in, re-
questing copies of '"The Saloon Before
the Courts" we wish to say that the
edition is exhausted, and Mr.. Lilly, the
author, tells us that new edition is
now on the press and he expects to have
it in week or two, and then we will
be able to fill the orders that we have
received. This explanation, however, is
due to those who have been looking for
the book and have not received it.

Some Figures From a Town
That is a Paradise
for Saloons

Tn1S is from the cairo Evening C1t1-
zen of May 81, 1906:
''There were twenty-eight arrests
made yesterday by the police. They
consisted of drunks and disorderly
cases, niggers with concealed weapons,
one or two for making gun plays, etc.
There has been three hundred and
eight arrests made during the month of
May"
This does pretty well for town of
from twelve to fifteen thousand people,
with fifty-six saloons, but, of course,
that which follows will be of interest to
the men who want to shun taxation for
keeping up public improvements in this
same city:
"The report of Jailer M. Lutz for May,
will show 331 days of work put in on
the streets by prisoners. This was
record breaker. Jailer Lutz has saved
the city great expense by working pris-
oners on the streets and there is much
good to show for it. The streets upon
which work has been done, present
fine appearance, and Jailer LutZ de-
serves great praise for the good work
and the interest he has shown in the
city's welfare, keeping down expense at
the time when the city needs to save
every penny she can"
But, how about the families of the
men who got tanked up on whisky, be-
came disorderly, were brought before
the police magistrate, fined, and then
went on the streets to work out their
fines? While it may have saved the city
some expense, yet, it has been at the
expense of the families of these parties.
In many cases, doubtless, they have
gone hungry.
Again we quote from the Cairo
Citizen:
'"The report of Police Magistrate A. J.
Ross will show that nearly $3.50 was
collected in fines for the month of May.
This is another record breaker The
police court has been self-sustaining
this month and will pay all of the ex-
penses attached to his Office, such as
the Jail bill, magistrates salary, city
attorneys percentages, etc.
But, again we raise the question, how
about the poor laborers who paid the
$3.50 in fines because they were drunk
on whisky sold under license from
which the city derived revenue? How
about the children of these men who
paid the $3.50, doubtless from their
earnings in majority Of cases? While
the city received the $3.50, the baker,
the butcher, the grocer, the drygoods
merchant must do without that $3.50
that the police court may be self-sus-
tanning.
Speaking of decoration services, the
Citizen further says:

March 25 amounted to a rejection Os the ultimatum for it denied that Ven ezuela had any questions pending with the United States and propomdcd ths following interrogation: "Before giv- ing further consideration to the HavS note the Venezuelan government stats-- that it must know whether the United States respects the methods and ns- bility of the Venezuelans."
 MT. Bowen adds that the answer is unyielding and requires no further Us. timatum.
 Perhaps the explanation for ti.e rather defiant attitude which the Ven ezulean government occupies to this day. so far as official correspondent shows. is to be found in a oaraphrasa of the telegram from Minister Bowen to Secretary of State Root. reporting that Senor Jesus Paul. president Cas- tro's representative who was then ia Washington. actively cultivating pub. lie sentiment in this country. adverse to the asphault claims. has cabIed di- rectly to President Castro that tho United States gOvernment would noe answer Bowen, or if it did would give him cOnciliatOry instructions.

This information is conveyed in official dispatches re- ceived at the state department today from the American diplomatic repre- sentatives in Guatemala and San Sal Vador, announcing that the two bellig- erent countries have availed them selves of the tender of the good offices of the United States looking to their approaching each other in a conference having in view the adjustment of their differeDces, the cessation of hostiIities and the bringing about of peace.

LACK OF CONFIDENCE
 IN PRESENT MINISTRY
Acceptance of Famine Bill by the Council
 PedSeS Lower House
In the Meantime the Reign of Blood Continues in Russia--Gen. KOzlOV Killed Perhaps by Mistake Soldiers Union Spreading.

St. Petersburg, July 15.-The council of empires acceptance without amend ment on Saturday of the parliament s bill apprOpriating $7,5OO.OOO for famine relief, came as a surprise, but occa- stoned the greatest jubilation in the camp of the lower house. as it is re- garded as a vote of lack of confidence in the Goremykin ministry, on the part of the upper chamber. While many speakers in the council of empire really favored the adoption of the cabinets recommendations they recognized that it would be a fatal mistake for the council to antagonize the lower house in the present crisis. Moreover those on the inside who were aware that ne gotiatiOns between the government and the constitutional democrats were en- tering a final stage, were naturally in fluenced by coming events.
 According to tonight's reports all questions of the principle involved in the change of ministry have been re- solved and now it is merely a matter , of personality.
 The emperor is still objecting to cer- tain names proposed by the constitu- tional democrats. Admiral S4yrdloff probably will succeed the late Vice Admiral Chouknin, commander of the Black sea fleet.

AMERICAN CLAIMS
 AGAINST VENEZUELA
Demands to be Renewed at Once by the
 State Department
Status Of the Case When Negotiations Were Suspended Including Text of UItimatum Former Secretary Hay, in 19O5

Washington, July 15.-In view of the determination of the state department to renew it's demands upon the Vene- zulean government for the settlement of American claims against Venezue- la it is a matter of interest to mo- tice the present status of these trou- blesome issues when negotiations were suspended in March 1905.
 For the first time the red book dis closes in these terms the ultimatum laid down by the late Secretary of State John Hay. in his Instructions to MT. Bowen, dated March 10, of that year: "The attitude of the Venezulean government toward the government of the United States, and toward the in terests of its citizens who have suf- fered so great and frequent wrongs ar bitrarily committed by the government of Venezuela finally declines to consent to impartial arbitration insuring the rendition of complete justice to these injured parties, the government of the United States may be regretfuIly com pelled to take such measures as it may find necessary to effect redress with out resort to arbitration. The govern ment of the United States stands com mitted to he principle of imparial ar bitration which can do injustice 10 mo- body and if its moderate request is peremptorily refused it will be at Ilb- erty to consider it is compelled to re- sort to more vigorous measures whether these measures shall include complete indemnification, not only for citizens aggreved. but for expenses of the government of the United states which may extend their execution"

COUNT WHITES COMMENTS.

London, July 16.-In an interview with the Telegraphs Aix les Baines cor respondent, Count Witte doubted the authenticity of much of General Ire pOffs interview of July s, concerning conditions in Russia. He is alleged to have stated" said the former Rus sian premier, that the present alarm ing condition in Russia was caused by the mistaken action, or the inaction, of the government during the last two years. He cannot deliberately have spoken thus. because the policy con- demned was largely shaped by himself. His views always were favorably con- sidered and often carried out. He never indicated by his acts that he abhors the policy which heretofore he advocated as alone salutary. As Gen eral Trepoff is a reasonable man I must decline to accept his alleged pub lie self-flagellation as genuine"
 Count Witte reserved his opinion on most of the present conditions in Rus sia and refused to reply to aspersios cast upon his premiership, saying that personal recriminations would be par ticuIarly harmful at present. How ever. he dwelt on his financial policy. which has been tested severely and proved strong"

GENERAL REeALADA KILLED.

Mexico City, July 15.-It is now known that General RegaIada of Saliva dor lost his life in a scouting expedi- tion. He was in command of his army on the border of Guatemala when he resolved to explore within the border of Guatemala. He started out, accom- panied only by an adjutant and a small escort when he came unexpectedly upon a large body of Guatemalan regulars, who overwhelmed his force Regalada and his escort sold their lives dearly, making heroic fight and killing many of their foes, but they were extermi- hated. No quarter was asked.
 This account disposes of the Guate- malan report which said Regalada was killed in pitched battle. The battle that really occurred on the same day was between General ToIedo's revolu- tionist army and the Guatemalan reg ulars, which ended in defeat for the latter. The consul general of Mexico in Tegucigalpa, the capital of Hon duras. reports officially that in spite of the strict neutrality heretofore main tained by Honduras, the government territory of that country was invaded by Guatemalan troops when conflict occurred

 The case is regarded as mysterious as General Kozlov was not connected with any political agitation. The mur- derer, who is believed to be a soc.aI revolutionist, carried a photograph at which he gazed attentively before fir ing, as if comparing it with General KOzlov. It was a photograph of Cen eral Trepoff.
