Hope for the Dspositors.

Philadelphia, Aug determination
of the list of securities held by the de-
funct Real Estate Trust company de-
vcloped the fact that Frank II. Hip
pie, president of the institution, who
committed suicide, was an embezzler.
The authority for this statement ia
George II. Earle, Jr., receiver for the
Trust company. Earle declined to say
what securities are missing, but he de-
clared that Nipple had hypothetical
$5G,0O0 worth of the paper, securing
$4,000 for the securities, which he
never returned. Receiver Earle fur
Their declared that President Nipple
embeZzled the S5,OOO,OOO he loaned to
Adolf Segal, the promoter.
Argues That the Money Was Stolen.
These loans. Earle asserted, were
personal transactions. Although
made in the name of the bank the d.
rectors had no knowledge Of them;
consequently the money was stolen by
IIipple," said Earle. Another enter
prise in which the dead president was
financially interested was discovered
when it became known that he was
one of the incorporators of Miss
Wrights select school for Indies Mt
Rryn Mawr the suburb in which Hip
pie had his summer residence. The
other incorporators were his son, +.
Wharton Nipple and Miss Wright.
Dollar for Dollar for Depositors.
In an interview Receiver Earle re.
iterated his opposition to n permanent
receivership for the Trust company
This proceeding, he declared, would
deprive the concern of its trust funds
which are among its most valuable
assets. If all of Promoter Segal's en-.
terprises are as valuable as his sugar
refinery, he said, their operation by
the depositors would be more fruitful
of results than any other method, and
he believed through such plan the
depositors would receive dollar fol
dollar.
Wants the Creditors to Take Hold.
Receiver Earle said his plan for the
reorganization of the company was t.
ask the creditors to take preferred
stock in the Trust company for theil
claims, and appoint their own officers
in the company. Earle said also that
under receivership it had beet
proved time and time again that
the business of failed concern woult
not yield nearly the results that
could be obtained if the business was
managed by the parties directly in III

Lucius Poole, a brother OF William
Poole, the librarian, whose name is per
petuated in ''Poole's Index" and who
died in Boston within the past year,
was known Throughout the country. for
his rare skill in restoring and repair
ing old documents and reprints. He
lived for thirty years in a house at the
South End, Boston, with three con-
genial spirits, one a collector Of Dick
ensana, the second of NapOleOnana and
the third a collector of first editions.
Poole was a collector tOo-of books, let
tiers and programmes relating TO the
stage. He had a remarkable faculty
for matching old paper, and could put
a corner or a patch on a letter or a
playbill so neatly that it could be no

Mr.. Poole's famous feat of splitting a
magazine page into four leaves or lay

inlayer, who showed Mr.. Poole a page
split in three leaves with the printing
on it unmarried. The American said
that he could do all that the English
man had done-and more; and after
some experiments produced a page OF

COUNCILLOR FILoNOFF KILLED AT
PoLTAVA.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 31.-The govern
ment is finding ample justification for
its severe policy against the revolution
lists in the constant discoveries of bombs,
bomb factories and depots Of arms and
munitions in all parts of the empire
which are now so commonplace that such
matters scarcely obtain individual men
ton in the papers.
The Novoe Vremya today, however,
prints half column of statistics of last
weeks captures, showing the seizure of
bombs in a score of cities and the dis
cOVertes of regular bomb labOra tories,
explosives. and filled and untitled bombs,
at Ekaterinoburg, Samara, Riga, Ntkutsk,
Suwalki and EkaterinOsiav. TerrOrists
having in their possession two to twenty
bombs have been arrested at Warsaw,
Minsk, Nitebsk, Lodz, Odessa, Gomel and
T:flis.- There have been attempts to kill
police, military or civil officers at War
saw Pinsk, Riga, Komel Tiflis, Minsk
and other cities. Though not included in
the NoVoe Vremya's list, bomb factories
have also been discovered here and at
Moscow. Searches of the Prokaroff and
other factories at Moscow still result in
finding explosives and weapons.
To curb the revolutionary outbreaks
and enable estate owners to defend their
property against further peasant upr1s-
ings, the government is distributing the
arms captured on the British steamer
John Grafton, sunk in the Gulf of Both

and reYOlVeTS captured elsewhere, to re-
sponSible applicants, and is also permit
ting the organization of armed state

AGENTS WERE DRIVEN OFF
French Government Having a
Serious Time Taking InVen-
tory of Church Property.

Paris, Jan. S1.-Violent scenes occurred
in many Paris churches this morning
when government commissioners ap-
peared to take inventories of the church
property pursuant to the provisions of
the law providing for the separation of
church and state. In many instances the
commissioners were unable to accomplish
their tasks, crowds Of fervent Catholics
filling the edificeS, some protesting Wig
Orously and others chanting psalms.
Later reports show that the agents Of
the government were driven off with
more or less violence and only succeeded
in accomplishing their task at about a
dozen churches
The most serious took place at the
church of st. Roch, where fifteen police
men were wounded. AS the fashionable
church Of st. Francis Xavier, where
Francois COppee, the poet, and Count
Gabriel De La Rochefoucauld were
among the many contestants. A SER
geant was struck on the head with a
loaded stick.
Dispatches from the provinces show
that in many places like resistance to
the efforts of the commissioners was
made and it is now thought that it will
be necessary for detachments Of troops
to protect the commissioners.
