 corning the suicide---One of the In
 cOrp0rat0rs of Miss Wright's Select
 School for Ladies at Bryn Mawr.
 Philadelphia, Aug. 30. Determination of the list of securities held by the defunct Real Estate company to-day disclosed the fact that Frank K. Hip, pie, president of the institution, who committed suicide, was an embezzler' The authority for this statement IS George H. Earle, jr., receiver for the company. MT. Earle declined to say what securities are missing, but he de- clared that Nipple had hypothecated $65 ,000 worth of paper, securing $6O,0oO for the securities, which he never re- turned. Receiver Earle further de- olares that President Nipple enlbez- zled the $5 ,000,0 ,0OO loaned to Adolf Segal, the promoter. These loans Mr. Earle asserted, were personal transactions.
 Although made in the name of the bank. the directors had no knowledge of them consequently the manye was stolen by MT. Nipple" said MT. Earle.
 Another enterprise in which the dead president was financially interest ed was discovered to-day, when it be- came known that he was one of the ir- corporators of Miss Wright's select school for ladies at BTyn Mawr, the suburb in which Nipple had his sum mer residence. The other incorporators were his son, F. Wharton Nipple, and Miss Wright The latter five years ago began teaching school in Bryn MaWr. | She made the acquaintance of MT. Hip ple's daughter, now dead, and MT. Hip pie displayed friendly interest in her. Last year Miss Wright purchased a large stone building at Bryn Mawr at a cost, it is said, of $60,000 and establish ed her select school Miss Wright said to-day that MT Whipple visited the institution two or three times a week. His last visit was made, ac- comding to Miss Wright on Thursday afternoon of last week, the day before 1 he shot himself.
 In an interview to-day, Receiver Earle reiterated his opposition to a permanent receivership for the trust company. This proceeding, he de- clared, would deprive the concern of it's trust funds, which are among it's most valuable assets. If all of Segal's enterprises are as valuable as his sugar refinery, he said, their operation by the depositors would be mare fruitful of results than any other method, and he believed through such plan the de- posltors would receiver dollar for dol lar.

CREWS DO LIGHT WORK,
Harvard and Cambridge Take It Easy
 on Hot Days

Putney England, Aug. S0-The day being intensely hot, with a haze over the river, the Cambridge and Harvard university crews did only light work to-day. practicing starting and sprint ing. This is very necessary in Har- yards case. A well-known oarsnan to- day said to the Associated Press that Cambridge vastly excels Harvard ill the matter of starting, and this deficiency of the Americans might be costly the day of the race unless renedied.
 Harvard has arranged for a. full course trial tomorrow, paced by a scratch crew of well-known oarsmen from the London Rowing club. The trial is anticipated with great interest.
 The Cambridge menexplain their haV- ing q lighter shell built by the state ment that the one they have been using was built for boisterous weather, such as usually prevails in the spring, when the Oxford Cambridge races are rowed, and is needlessly heavy for the quiet water now encountered.

PRINCIPLE OF "oPEN SHOP ;
To be Applied to the Postal Ser
 vice,


 Washington, Aug. 30.-The principle of the. "open shop will be applied to the postal service, according to a decis- ion reached at the department to-day at a conference between Postmaster Frederick Busse of Chicago, and Act ing Postmaster General Hitchcock and Second Assistant Postmaster General Shallenberger.
 The visit of Postmaster Busse to this city was brought about by the an- nouncenent, recently made, of the pro- posed formation of a national labor union of postal clerks in utilization with the American Federation of Labor.
 The determination was reached to- day that so long as the postal clerks or other postoffice employees conform to the rules and regulations of the office, and do not attempt to eoerce or in any way molest those who do not enter the union, there would be no objection to the employees aftiHating with labor or- ganizations. It expressly was stated, however, that the department would afford the fullest protection to those who, for reasons of their own, do not see fit to join the union.

HERRICK AND COULD OUT
RESIGN FROM EQUITABLE LIFE
 BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

Pressure of Private Business Cause of
 Formers Retirement--Latter Quits
 Because of Fear That His Participn-
 tion in syndicates Which Might Sell
 Securities to the Equitable Might Re-
 suit in Unconscious Violations of the
 New Insurance Law.
 New York, Aug. 30.-The board of di- rectors of the Equitable Life Assurance society to-day accepted the resignations of George J. Gould and Judge D. Cady Herrick as members of the board, A statement issued from the Equitable office said:
 Judge Herrick resigned on account of the pressure of private business, and MT Gould resigned because of the fear that his participation in syndicates which might sell securities to the Equi- table might result in unconscious viola tions of the new insurance law. There is now no man identified with Wall street on the Equitable board.
 President Morton reported on his trip to Europe, during which he inves- l tigated Equitable affairs in Great Brit ain, France, Germany and Austria, and consulted with the directors-g general for Italy and Spain. Mr. Morton's decision l to continue to do business in France was approved by the executive commit tee and the board.
 l MT Morton gave the following six reasons why he deemed it advisable for the society to continue doing business in France:
 "First-The apparent intention of the French authorities to treat American companies fairly and without discrimi- nation.
 l "Second-The undoubted ability of the French people to buy life insurance, owing to their prosperity end frugal ity.
 "Third-The loss of business already on our books which would follow the decision to withdraw. Such decision would be used by our competitors to twist out policies on the accusation that we retired because we were unable financially and morally to subscribe to the new requirements. We have ex- pended large amount of money in the last twenty years establishing a French agency
 'Fourth-Because hereafter French business is to be secured at the same expense as American business, the same compensation being paid to agents there as here.
 "Flfth-Because we will be several years reaching the maximum of busi. } ness which we are allowed to do, ever with all the territory we now have Why abandon France at this time un- der these circumstances?
 "Sixth-Because with the hall-marR of the government which we will in 6 degree now have, our director genera in France assures me that he thinks we can do business there, after this year of $5.000,000 per annum, Under this ar. rangement we are obliged to make ar i additional deposit of nine and one-halt millions of American securities, a par of which will be substituted by French | securities within the next five years"
