Philadelphia, Pa.-The Office BULL
Trust Co, which went to the Tall last
Tuesday, was stormed WedneSCat by
a mob of frenzied depOsitors, clamor-
ing for their savings and Threatening
the lives of the officers.
Police fought the crowd back from

financial institution, now "A $4,000, 900

tectives and plain-clothes men.
shortly after II o'clock a young
man, dressed in IA black suit, with Il
broad band of mourning on his straw
hat, emerged from one of the elevators
and started hurriedly for the main
door. Some one in the crowd reccg-
nized the young man as +. Wharton

instant there was a rush fer him.
Nipple covered his face with his

Detectives Klett and Sells broke
through the crowd and with the aid
OF four husky reserve policemen res

Klett and Sells hustled him out by a
side door and, hailing a passing auto
cab, hurried the badly frightened
young man to Broad street station,
where he took the 1l:l5 Paola accom-

So great was the confidence reposed
in Frank X. Nipple. late president OF
the trust company, that the institu'

Presbyterian church.
Not only the General Assembly
which was a large ~depOsitor. but even
the smallest Sunday school organiza
tons and hundreds of individuals
with abiding faith In the integrity o
he late president, had intrusted theil
funds and savings to the institution.
Nipples way was a sort OF duple'
system OF thievery. He hoodwinked
the bank examiner with one set o
reports, then deceived the directors
with another. On the eve OF discov
cry he committed suicide. This fac
has Just come to light. The corona

WILL NOT ARBITRA1E
PRESIDENT PALMA OF CUBAN re.
PUBLIC, PREFERS WAR.
DEFEAT OF REBELS URGENT
Declares Present Uprising . Crazy
Movement Without Reason or
Program.

Havana, Cuba - President Palma
gives out a statement In which he
says the instruction has no ideals
and no program, and that the crisis
which the insurgents raised does not
constitute a program, ideals or q JUS
~tificatiOn of the movement.
Continuing. the president says:
All revolutions must have q pro-
gram, as had our revolution for indie
pendence In 1895. Everybody at that
time knew that the Cubans had re-
VOTED against Spanish rule, and had
engaged in an open fight for the lib.
erty of their country.
THE present movement IL more Of
a local adventure-only a crazy move.
ment on the part Of the discontinued
persons. There Is no mora reason
for 1t. The government could sus.
pend the constitutional guarantees,
but 1t prefers to maintain the vigOr
and hope Of the people and avoid pos.
sible excuses.
The medical force has been In.
structed to attend to all prisoners and
to give wounded or sick insurgents
the same attention as wounded OF sick
men belonging to the government
forces. ANY insurgent repenting of
his act can return within the pale of
the law and will not be mOlested. The
government will have no petty spite
or feeling of rancOr against those who
return to their senses and abandon the
cause of disorder"
President Palma is not disposed to
employ any other method than that OF
arms for the re-establishment of
peace. He declared energetically that
the government here would absolutely
never compromise with any form OF
disturbance of order. He argues that
the government was legitimately con
stituted, was bound by its impervious
duty and must demonstrate that 1t Is
stable and able to safeguard property,
life and the happiness of the republic
at present and in the future. ANY
compromise would SOW the seed OF
armed revolution throughout the coun
FRY.
