MANY suPERsTITIoUs FOREIGNERS.

1t will probably surprise many to learn that
there are thousands of people in this city who
believe in ghosts witches, spooks and supersti-
lions.
Director Smith, of Central park, called atten-
ton to one large body of the supersttious few
weeks ago when he protested in their behalf
against the sale of the two donkeys in the Zoo
He declared that if at least one of the donkeys
whooping cough or threatened with that COM
plant would be after him tooth and nail. And
why? Simply because if baby has whooping
cough mother sneaks off with him to
Central park and passes his wee body three times
under and over the donkey's body in a circle.
And of course-the whooping cough disappears.
1t may take some time for the cure to be effected
but that is not the donkeys fault.

SEGAL COT IT ALL.
The Late President of the Real
Estate Trust Company So
States in a Note.
THREE ARRESTS ARE MADE.
The Amount of the Shortage 1t IL
Believed Will Exceed 100000
900 When the Investi-
cation Is Made.

Philadelphia, Sept. 6.-Charged with
having defrauded the depositors of
the Real Estate Trust company OF
this city out of many millions of dol
lars, Adolph Segal, a promoter Of
many enterprises; William F. North,
the treasurer of the trust company,
and Marshall S. Collingwood, the as
siatant treasurer were arrested
Wednesday at the instance of Dis
trict Attorney Bell who has spent
nearly week investigating the affairs
of the wrecked institution. Segal was
held in $4,000 bail, and the two trust
company officers in $4,000 each. They
entered bond and will be gwen hear
ing Thursday. This turn In the af-
fairs of the company is only one OF
the many sensations expected to de-
velop in connection with the failure,
which, it is estimated, will exceed $10,-
100000, when the receiver finishes his
investigation.
The affidavits accompanying the
warrants were sworn to by Walter c.
Browning, a depositor and creditor of
the Real Estate Trust company. They
aver that Segal North and Colling-
wood with Frank X. Nipple, the pres
ident of the company who committed
suicide and with other unknown per-
sons, defrauded 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 enlightenment of the many mil
lions of dollars and that North COM
mitted perjury in knowingly having
furnished to the commissioner of
banking of Pennsylvania false reports
of the value of the company's assets,
resources and liabilities. Collingwood
and North are also accused of having
received money from depositors after
they knew the company was insolvent.
Aside from the arrests the most
important developments Wednesday
in the affairs of the trust company
was the announcement by District At
torney Bell that President Nipple, be-
fore ending his life, had written
brief confession of his misdeeds. On
the day President Nipple shot him
self, his son, F. Wharton Nipple, found
a note in his fathers room. Receiver
Earle and District Attorney Bell came
into possession of this note Wednes-
day 1t was written in ink on the
back of an envelope. 1t bore no adj
dress and was as follows:
"Segal got all the money. | was
fooled but have no one to blame but
myself"
Nipple Also FOrger.
Philadelphia, Sept. 8-Forgeries for
more than a quarter of a million of
dollars by Frank X. Nipple, the sui
eide president of the defunct Real
Estate Trust company have been dis
covered by Receiver Earle. The lat
ter made this statement late Friday
night adding that he had no idea
where Nipples villainy would end.
Nipple in order to meet his immense
overdrafts used the names of some of
the most prominent business men of
this city on notes which in some

MANY DIVORCES FOUND ILLEGAL.

Speaking of divorces, amazing irregularities
in many of the divorces granted in this city with
in the past 20 years have been discovered. So
far there is a flaw in one divorce out of every
five examined.
These defects were found by William H. K
Jarvis, of the census bureau, and his corps of

tistics of divorces If made known they would
make bigamists of many couples married in good
faith and egitimatize many children.
How much and how many of these discov-
cries will be made public depends largely on ac
ton to be taken by Mr.. Jarvis. If he applies to
the court for necessary data in thousands of
eases an order may be granted to "unseal the
papers"

WORK IS BEGUN ON
NEW STEEL FURNACES
r. A. Mitchell Is Appointed Alabama
Representative In Department
of immigration.

Gadsden, March 13.-(Special) Work
was begun on the addition of two new
open hearth steel furnaces by the South
ern Steel company at their plant in this
city. The new furnaces are similar in
every respect to the four now in opera
ton by the company and will have the
same daily capacity.
The addition of the new furnaces will
mean an expenditure of thousands of dol
lars, and is the first of many develop
ments announced by the company at an
expense of between two and three mill
lion dollars. As the supply of pig iron
now furnished by the coke furnace of the
company is inadequate to keep the steel
mill supplied with raw material, second
and larger furnace will be installed at an
early date. Plans and speclfica lions for
this furnace have already been accepted
by the company. The erection of the pro-
posed rod mill will be begun soon and
rushed to completion.
