USED NAMES Of
 PROMINENT MEN foIg1Iies to Amount of More Than Quarter of a Million Dollars
 Have Been Discovered
RIPPLE ALSO A F0RCER
Last State Examination of the Trust Company Was Made
 Four Year. Ago.

Philadelphia, Sept S.-Forgeries
 for more than quarter of mill lion dollars by Frank K. Nipple, the suicide president of the defunct Real
 Estate Trust company. have been discovered by Receiver Earle. The Platter made this statement last night. adding that he had no idea where Nipples villany would end. Nipple. in order to meet his i'm mense overdrafts, used the names of some of the most prominent busi- ness men of this city on notes which in some cases amounted to $150,OOO.
 The. president had taken copies of the signatures of a number of busi- ness men while some of their checks or negotiable securities passed through his hands, but in every case he avoided the use of the name of Real Estate Trust company deposi- tor.
 When pinched for money to meet his overdrafts or some big Segal loan, MT Earle said, as last resort Nipple would draw up note with the forged signature attached This he would take to the cashier or paying teller, saying he had personally made the loan, and 1t was discounted. With the amount to his credit he would satisfy the pressing claim.
 Receiver Earle said tonight that in order to accomplish the reorgan- ization of the Real Estate Trust com pany he would accept the presidency If the depositors insisted.
 That someone secured $2,00O. .000 for negotiating the loans made to Adolf Segal by President Nipple, is believed by those now engaged in in- vestigating the company's affairs. Se- gals repeated assertions that he did not borrow more than $3.000,00O from the trust company has caused the investigators to exert every ef- fort to discover all of the details con- nected with these loans and If it is found that others benefited they will be made to return the money.
 It developed to-day that the last tttte examination or the trust com pany was made by Banking Commis- sioner Reeder in 1902. Robert Mo- Afee, who was state banking com missioner from April. 1903 to July, 1905, made no ex- animation and Commissioned Der key. who succeeded MT McAfee, also failed to examine the institution. The two accountants appointed yesterday by Commission CT Berkey to investigate the condi- tions of the concern. at the end of their first days work announced that they found the trust estates. of which the Real Estate Trust company acted as truste, to be intact.

HAD TO STEAM SLOWLY.
Pig Battleship Boilers Had Oil Float
 1 ing on Top of Water.

Washington. Sept S.-The Louisi- a "a, designated as "the most modern battIeship," which is now undergo ipcer shaking down" process, has >A obliged to steam slowly because Tgets Into the boilers and causes A. ,uble. It is a condition of affairs Cat nas afflicted number of other naval vessels and alterations have beeen made in the machinery to ob- viate the difficulty. It seems curious that oil should get into the boilers of a ship and the explanation is that the dynamo engines are responsible. These engines are run the entire twenty-four hours of the day and are fabricated by a spray of oil. This spray gets mixed with the steam that is sent into the ccndensers and is thus returned to the boilers where 1t floats upon the top of the water in scum which seriously interferes with the main engines of the ship. By arrangement of the dynamos. the difficulty is obviated and several warships have been undergoing these changes during the past few months. The new ships will be so changed when they return to the navy yards.

calculated that tile choice of the Sur. rey side of the river might give the lucky crew an advantage of as much us length.

The race between Harvard and
 Cambridge to-day over the famous
 old Putney-Mortlake course on the
 Thames. narrow winding waterway
 four and three-eighths miles ir
 length, was the first dual intercol'
 legiate race rowed between American
 and English crews in thirty-seven
 years. In 1869 Harvard sent four
 to Putney to meet Oxford in a dual contest. The English crew was vic t0rious by nearly four lengths. To days race was the first between Brit ish and American university eights and apparently has opened the way for many similar contests in the fu- ture.
 Interest in the international row. ing event has been heightened by the fact that Harvard's crew earned Q de- cisive victory over Yale at New Lon don in June last, while Cambridge was this years winner of the race with Oxford. In way the two crews were representative of the best col lege rowing talent of the two coun- tries and the result has been await ed with the liveliest anticipation. Harvard's crew was defeated early in the season in two-mile dash on the Charles river at Boston by Cornell, but as the race was not over full Varsity course and as neither crew was at it's best, the result was not regarded as decisive. The Harvard eight is admittedly one of the best aggregatiOns of college oarsmen ever seen in an American shell, and every follower of the sport has been con- fldent that in the international strug- gle on the Thames, American rowing strength was typically represented in the Harvard boat.
 The race was brought about through the efforts of R. c. Lehman, a member of parliament who acted as instructor to tthe Harvard crews for two years. his last visit to Har- yard being in 1898. It was agreed that the two crews should be as near ly as possible the same as those which raced aganst Yale and Oxford respectively.

Marblehead. Mass, Sept S-Witt the New York Yacht Vim having two
 victories; to her credit and the Bos- ion boat Aux one. 1t was to-day or never for the other four challengers.
 To-day was fixed for the fourth race, and under the conditions only the
 winners of the four events could con tinue.ln the contest for the trophy. There was therefore fully as much interest lr the outcome of the contest as in the initial race on Monday. The victory of the Vim would mean per nament possession of the cup for Commodore Trenor l.. Park, If the American Yacht club. and with ! windward and leeward race scheduled for the day, her chances before the start were regarded as excellent In view of her well known strength in going to wtndward.
 Stlll. with the breeze light from the northeast. many of the yachtsmen enrly today seemed to regarl the Caramba. another Boston yacht. as a factor in the days event. A victory by that boat would mean the c0ntin- uation of the contest for the cup on Monday, between the three American yachts with the three German boats entirely eliminated.
 Although the chances of the Ger mans capturing the Roosevelt cup were regarded as very slim. still the foreigners did not seem to he dis- that the series of races had been -ary profitable from q German standpoint. 1t had shown that the designers in Germany had not worked out the problems of the Sonder class as fully as had the Americans.
 The Germans all said that they hoped next year to produce Sonder boats that would give American visl- tors on the other side of the water a good run for their money. For the first time in the series the yachtsmrn early today found the wind coming fin from the sea. At sunrise. 1t was blowing only five miles an hour and gave some indications of becoming even lighter before the day was over.
 The Stone wireless reported the course for to-day's race as a beat to windward, cast-southeast. three miles and a run home. and repeating. mak- ing the total distance twelve miles. The wind which has increased was dropping when the compass course vas signaled and was not more than six miles an hour.
