Peoria, ILL.,, Aug 29.-The Standard
OH company has taken steps toward
acquiring ownership of all the princi-

States.
This announcement was made in dis
a surprise to those who were unaware
that conference had been held in

ard Oil company for the purpose OF
trying to agree on terms.
A price has been set on every dis

plants pass into the hands of the
Standard Oil company within ten
days.

by local owners of distilleries that at

have approached dstillers, asking
them if they would entertain a propo-
sition to buy their plants. Practically
all have replied in the affirmative. 1t
is the opinion of the distillers here
that the Standard made the overtures
with the probable intention of engag-

HEAVY LOANS ON INSUFFICIENT
SECURITY CAUSES THE
FAILURE.
DEAD. PRESIDENT is BLAMED
NOW INTlMATED THAT HE KILL
ED HIMSELF-MADE FALSE
STATEMENTS.

Philadelphia, Aug. 29-The Real
Estate Trust company, organized in
1885, the depository of nearly a mil
lion Of dollars Of the funds of the
Presbyterian church, and holding
100000 Of the city of Philadelphia
and $175,000 of state deposits, yester-
day closed it's doors. The failure was
caused by heavy loans made by the
late president. Frank e. Nipple. to
Adolf Segal, a promoter. on INSULT
cient security. A desperate effort was
made to save the institution by the
board of directors through an appeal
to the Clearing House association, but
that body declined to subscribe guar
antee fund of 100000 because Of in
sufficient security.
Receiver Is Appointed.
The liabilities are placed at $10,-
100000, with quick assets of $3.50G,000
and doubtful collateral amounting to
$8,000,000.
George H. Earle. Jr., president Of
the Finance Company of Pennsylva-
MIA, was appointed receiver, and ia a
statement to the public he expresses
the hope that he NAV soon be able to
recommend a plan To the depositors
that will better serve their interests
and terminate his services.
How far Nipple benefited in the
loans made. or whether he was merely
the tool of others. is yet to be deter
mined.
Nc Other Banks Affected.
Samuel P. Houston. vice president
of the company, said that no other
banking institution in this or any 9TH
er city would be in the least affected
by the failure. Gilt-edge securities
were given for whatever money was
borrowed from other banks.
In an incredibly short time the story
of the failure was on the street and
created great CONSERVATION. Hun
dreds of persons gathered about the
building, clamoring for information,
and the crowd grew so great that do
tail OF police was sent for to clear the
street There was no disorder.
Made False Statements.
President Nipple was always re-
garded as a conservative financier. but
following his sudden death last Fri
day an investigation by the directors
developed the fact that his loans to
Segal had been made regardless of
proper security. and that he had made.
false statements to the directors of
the banks condition. Friends of the
president express the belief that Sc
gal exercised a hypnotic influence
over Mr.. Nipple.
Although the cause Of Mr.. Nipples
death was given By his physician and
the coroner as cerebral hemorrhage,
it is intimated that he may have com
mitted suicide.
Cuts Short Vacations.
The failure undoubtedly means that
hundreds of persons have cut short
their vacations and are hurrying back
from sea shore and mountain resorts.
The institution was favOrite depOsi-
tory for women and for well-tO-dO men
who make use of purely personal &C
counts. The company was principally
attentive to this class of business, and
perhaps no other bank in the city was
so careful to always provide it's wnm-
en- clients with clean, new money,
even to the nickels.
