Be Closed at Noon

hand at the previous time for closing

far III advance of what had been eX-
pected by the management, there were
several communications from suburban
towns requesting postponement Tor
a few days, in order that further en-
tries might be made which had not been

rangements.
Complying with this request the man
agement has consented to accept en-
tries until Wednesday next at IL
o'clock noon. II. A. Buffers of San
Francisco will send south carload
of his thoroughbreds, and the appear
ance of these horses alone will be an
extremely attractive feature of the

which comes to a connoisseur of hne
horses. Secretary Ashbrook has ar
ranged for jumping classes and gym
khana games that will cater strongly
to the amusement of those not so thor
oughly posted on the fine points of
equine flesh.
The childrens matinee on April 21,
the last day of the show, promises to
be a society affair for the juveniles 2t
the city, and the entry of ShetlandS
and other points indicates the interest
and rivalry which will imbue the
youngsters at their special function.
In addition to the entries that may be
expected from San Francisco ana other
northern cities. almost every Southern
California municipality will vie with
Los Angeles in the proposition of fine

DEPOS|TORS
CROWD STORMS DOORS OF PHIL.
ADELPHIA BANK.
PRESIDENTS SON IS MOBBED
Police Fight Back the Crowd Around
the Doors of the $~1o,o0o,0oo
Bank Wreck.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The Office build
ing of the Philadelphia Real Estate
Trust Co, which went to the wall last
Tuesday, was stormed Wednesday by
a mob of frenzied depositors, clamor-
ing for their savings and Threatening
the lives of the officers.
Police fought the crowd back from
the barred doors, and Wednesday aft
ernoon what was formerly a great
financial institution, now a $4,000, 900
wreck, is guarded by a horde of reg
ular and reserve policemen, special de-
t~ectives and plain-clothes men.
Shortly after II o'clock a young
man, dressed in a black suit, with a
broad band Of mourning on his straw
hat, emerged from one of the elevators
and started hurriedly for the main
door. Some one in the crowd reccg-
nized the young nan as F. Wharton
Nipple, son of the dead president Of
the defunct trust company, and in an
instant there was a rush for him.
Nipple covered his face with his
umbrella, shrank toward the elevator
and called the police to protect him.
Detectives Klett and Sells broke
through the crowd and with the aid
of four husky reserve policemen res
cued young Nipple from the mob.
Klett and Sells hustled him out by a
side door and, hailing a passing auto
cab, hurried the badly frightened
young man to Broad street station,
where he took the 11:15 Paola accom-,
mediation for Bryn Mawr.
So great was the confidence reposed
in Frank X. Nipple, late president of
the trust company, that the institu-
ton was virtually the bank of the
Presbyterian church.
Not only the General Assembly,
which was a large depositor, but even
the smallest Sunday school organiza-
tons and hundreds of individuals,
with abiding faith in the integrity of
the late president, had intrusted their
funds and savings to the institution.
Nipples way was a sort of duplex
system of t%hievery. He hoodwinked
the bank examiner with one set of
reports, then deceived the directors
with another. On the eve of discov-
cry he committed suicide. This fac!
has just come to light. The coroner
suppressed the news to avoid a run
on the bank.
