Philadelphia Aug. 3l.-The state

Real Estate Trust company Of this city
that Frank K. Nipple, late president Of
the concern had stolen securities valued
at $65, 900 and that the lending Of 3d.
100000 to Adolph Segal, on insufficient
security, amounted to as much as theft,
created a profound sensation thruout
the city today.

The number Of pastors who used the
ceptionally large. Most Of them refused
to entertain the theory that Nipple end
ed his own life, and it was difficult to
make them believe that his secret
operations were as irregular as they are
alleged to be.
Political Reformer.
In addition to his church work, Mr..
Nipple took an active interest in re-
form politics and is said to have been
a heavy contributor to the reformers'
campaign funds in last years notable
contest in this city.
The criticism heretofore expressed by
depositors of the failure Of directors of
the company to discover Nipple s trans
largest creditors are angry at what they
term the negligence of these men. There
is now pending before the local courts
an application for the appointment of
a co-receiver who shall directly appoint
the depositors and inform them Of the
true condition of the, company. A de-
cision is expected today.
1t is alleged that several Of the d.
rectors had knowledge that some Of
Nipple g transactions were unsafe, but
they had such confidence In his integri-
tv that thew did not suspect the true
state of affairs or entertain the belief
that his operations were irregular.
Employees Suspicious.
1t became known today that the en-
ployees Of the company were aware that
there was something wrong with the ac-
counts. Several of them went so far
as to leave checks with their fellow
employees when they went on vacation
for an immediate withdrawal of their
deposits if their suspicious were con-
frlned.
The receiver has become so alarmed
at the criticism expressed by creditors
that he has issued statement to de-
positors: asking them not to take part
In the litigation at the expense Of their
funds. before they have talked with
him.
Adolph Segal. whose borrowings from
the trust company was the principal
cause of the failure, and talked freely
of his transactions with Nipple has
adopted policy of silence. He now
refuses to discuss any phase of develop
me:nt in the affair and directs all in
quiries to his attorneys.

.HENNEPIlN| VALUES
0YERT0P RAMSEY'S
STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
HAS KNOTTY PROBLEM.
Work of Assessors In Two Most Popu-
lous and Richest Counties Vary so
Widely in Per Cent of Increase That
st. Paul Property Owners Face
Heavy Increase.

When the state board Of equalization
meets next Tuesday it will be con-
fronted with an unusual problem, for,
compared to Hennepin county valua-
tions, the assessed valuations compiled
by Ramsey county authorities are ridi-
culously small and the taxing systems
in the two counties on the face Of the
figures differ materially. The figures
submitted show for Hennepin an in
crease Of more than $35,000,000 over
the last valuation made by the state
board, while from Ramsey county come
figures showing an increase of less than
$5,OOO,O0O.
In 1905 the board Of equalization de-
termined the valuation Of Hennepin
county's personal property at $37 $685.
402, while Ramsey county's personal
property was placed at $22, 722, 1852.
Reports received in the state auditor g
office show that the Hennepin county
assessors this year have assessed on a
valuation of So, O22, 422, while the Ram
sey county authorities have reduced
their valuation to $22,634, 1928.
Hennepin Far Ahead.
In both counties there is decided
increase in real property valuation, but
in Hennepin is shown decidedly tho
equalization placed Hennepin real prop
erty at $112,528,O66 and this year the
local assessors have turned in a report
showing real property to. be . worth
$l32,650,055 In Ramsey the increase
is from $77,798, $40 in 1904 to $S2,634,-
1872 in 1906.
It is thought that the state board will
materially raise the Ramsey county val.
uations both in regard to personal and
real property. Public service corpora
tions in ST. Paul will probably be the
worst sufferers at the hands Of the
board.

A diversion fortunately occurred
with the arrival Of Mr.. Hearst, who
came thru the main door at Madison
avenue and walked gravely along to
his seat on the south side Of the Garden
opposite the speakers stand. Y
The great throng as in duty bound,
stood upon chairs and waved their
flags and cheered long and loud. It
mattered little that those. in the back
ground did not know what they were
cheering about.
A rumor went round that Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Hearst had been together and
had arrived at an agreement. AS one
Of the crowd expressed it it was =

I'll tickle you-you for governor, me

Almost coincident with the arrival
Of Mr.. Hearst there arose mighty
cheer at the Twenty seventh street en-:

the name of Bryan. The crowd faced
in that direction like vast drove Of
cattle on the verge Of a STAMPEDE.

MUST BE IMPARTIAL.
True Protection Cannot Favor One
Interest Against Another.

Whatever valid claim to free hides
the Massachusetts, shoe manufacturers
possess it must not be forgotten that
the REIMBURSEMENT of duties upon hides
must be considered not with reference
TO its effect upon Massachusetts inter
cSts alone. but in the light of Its bear
ing upon the whole industrial situation
in the United States. Undoubtedly the
Massachusetts manufacturers would
like free hides, but no suggestion has
been made that they surrender the pro-
lection now afforded them in the tariff
imposed upon foreign shoes. This fact
has set n great many persons thinking.
even in that state, and what they are
thinking is no doubt correctly indicat-
ed by the Springfield Union, which tells
its readers that Massachusetts cannot
have the sort of tariff revision which
means exclusive benefits for one local
ity. adding:
No tariff law has ever been made solely
IN the interests of one state and never
viii be. We cannot have both free raw
materials and protected finished products
If we are for protection we must be will
ing to have protection granted to raw
materials as we'll as to manufactured
products If we are for free trade, then
we must have both free raw materials
and free manufactured products. Massa-
chUsatts cannot play both ends of the
game
That Is the essence of sound protec
tion. True protection is not partial to
one interest as against another, but has
concern for all alike. 1t has no special
affection for particular schedules, but
regards each as part of symmetrical
whole. designed with an eye to the
common good. And it is ready to re
wise those schedules when that action
Is seen to be necessary to assure

THE LAWYER.

Colonel James Hamilton Lewis,
corporation counsel of Chicago, pol
itician, former congressman, wit and
after dinner speaker, says:
"In 800 years-yes, before that
period has elapsed-the lawyer will
be without profession.
"The law is in the midst of great
changes, he said to Chicago Post
writer. "I believe that in fifty years
the evolution will have progressed so
far that we will have tribunal some
thing like those of ancient Greece,
where any man, whether he be law
yer or not, can go and present his
case.
"The lawyer, except as an advo-
cate, is disappearing from the world.
The necessity for him is waning.
Men are learning to get together and
settle their business matters or their
troubles without him.
"There was a time when the law
offered a man preferment, honors,
social entree and everything to be
desired. Not so today. The lawyer
is looked upon as a parasite, feeding
on the body polite. On every hand
we see lawyers turning away from
the practice of their profession and
getting into channels of life offering
them better returns for their abilities.
ct say without hesitation that the
lawyer is the lowest paid worker in
any class of endeavor to be cited,
considering what he puts into his
work. Take the corporation lawyer
getting perhaps $4,000 or $1,000
year. He makes it possible for his
employers to accumulate millions.
Take the lawyer who defends the
corporation damage suit. What
does he get for the lifeblood he puts
into his fight?
"Take the criminal lawyer. He
gives his very flesh to the cause. He
saves life and liberty, and in return
what does he get but paltry suml
"I repeat that the world is learn
ing to get along without lawyers.
You ask me if it is not true that the
colleges are turning out more lawyers
today than ever before and that the
number of lawyers in proportion to
the population is increasing. l am
not prepared to say that such is the
fact. Ny opinions have been de-
cried by the law schools that are
turning out lawyers to starve.
eve do not have to go far back
to see what an evolution already has
taken place in the legal calling.
Now it is not learning that takes a
man to the front it is not depth of
wisdom, years of study or conscien-
tious work. What is it? Paper cap
explosions-noise
mo longer is it necessary for a
man to be lawyer to go to congress /;
business men go there. The places
once considered as belonging only to
the lawyer are going to men in other
walks of life. The lawyer on every
hand is being crowded out. The
people are becoming intelligent
enough to get along without him as
an intermediary"

CONVERSATIONS OF A MODEST 1HCOME.

Our good friend with a million
dollars a year cannot eat much more
or better food, or drink much more
or better drinks, than we can. If he
does, he will be sorry. He can have
more places to live in, and enormous
ly more and handsomer apparatus of
living, but he can't live in more than
one place at once, and too much ap-
paratus is bother. He can make
himself comfortable, and live health
fully. So can we. He can have all
the leisure he wants, can go where
he likes and stay as long as he will.
He has the better of US there. We
have the better of him in having the
daily excitement and discipline of
making living. 1t is. great game
that game of making living-full
of chances and hazards, hopes, sur
prises, thrills, disappointments and
satisfactions. Our million-a-year
friend misses that. We may beat
him in discipline, too. We are apt
to get more than he does-the salu-
tary discipline Of steady work, of
self-denial, of effort. That is enor-
mously valuable to soul, body and
mind. He can't buy it. We get it
thrown in with our daily bread. We
are as likely to marry to our taste
and live happily in the domesticated
state as he is. We have rather bet
ter chances than he of raising our
children well. We are as likely as
he to have good friends worth having,
and to find pleasure in them.-AAan-

ARE RICH MEMS SONS WORTHLESS.

"From my personal observation
and acquaintance, am convinced
that ninety-fve per cent. of all rich
mems sons are practically worth
less," said Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch, of
Chicago, recently. Among this
great majority are some who observe
ordinary decency, and even conform
to the appearance of elementary vir-
tues, but even their good qualities
are of a negative sort. Often they
receive praise, not for the good they
have accomplished, but the evil they
have refrained from.
"The money getting faculty, the
desirability of which may be deba-
table, is only one of the qualities that
do not seem to descend from father
to son. 1t was the great grief to
the late Marshall Fields life that his
son proved worthless, and that he
had to leave his vast interests in the
hands Of others. George w. Pull
man declared in his will that his two
sons were no credit to him. So he
cut them off with annuities of $4,000.
am not familiar enough with the
Rockefeller family to be positive
about it, but 1 imagine that John u.
Rockefeller, Jr., is an exception to
the rule.
1T is rare that any good quality
descends to the sons of the rich.
Such youths go to college, not to
learn, but to make display of
wealth, and to amuse themselves.
The lives all too often are reproach
to their families and an insult to
public decency."
It is true that their wealth seems
to destroy ambition. Whether it be
a law of nature or not, from palace to
shirt sleeves in a generation appears
to be more the rule than the excep-
ti0n.
