srvPENDous LooTiNc.
Philadelphia Real Estate Trust Company
Officials May Have to Answer
in Court.

Philadelphia, Sept. 4.--"From the
evidence in my possession the col
lapse Of the Real Estate Trust COM
pany appears to be the result OF stu
pendous looting.. | intend to proceed
to the limit against the persons la
ble."
This statement was made Sunday
night by the district attorney, Mr..
Bell, after a day spent In examining
the evidence handed to him Saturday
by the receiver Of the defunct Real
Estate Trust company, Mr.. Earle
That Frank X. Nipple, the suicide
president of the institution was not
alone responsible for the crash both
the receiver and the district attorney
are sure. Arrests may be looked for
at any time.
The banks officers alone may, not
bear the burden OF responsibility. The
receiver and the district attorney have
devoted much time to the question OF
the liability of the directors and de-
velopments Sunday Indicate that at
least two of them may be called upon
for an explanation of their action In
certifying to the correctness OF bank
statements which have since proved
to be false.
The names signed to the last semi
annual statement OF the Real Estate
Trust company were e. P. Borden, r
Dale Benson and Frank X. Nipple.
The company's vice president, Mr.
Houston, declared that if any OF the
directors have borrowed money from
the bank it will be returned as soor
as the receiver calls for it.
Depositors representing 100000 in
trusted to the bank have engaged
Samuel Clement, ex-assistant district
attorney, to prosecute the directors
Discussing the liabilities of the direc-
tors, John H. Converse, head OF the
Baldwin locomotive works, one Of the
board of directors Of the trust com
pany, said Sunday:
"That which was done in the case
Of the Real Estate Trust compan,
would be possible, under existing
'7ws and regulations, in the affairs
of any other trust company in Phila
delphia. The directors went tnrougi
III forms that are observed by othe
boards of directors.
THE fault is with the present sys
tenn which must be radically changed
before it may safely be said that an
other real estate trust crash Is GU
of the question.

Rules for Panama Hats.

Mr. William c. Hesse, who Is the
government authority on Panama
hats, gives the following rules for the
care of your best Panama, says Iecn'
nical World Magazine. Don't crush
I'm a Panama hat as though 1t were
a cloth cap. 1t cannot stand such
treatment, it will break. The stories
of the indestructibility OF Panama
hats are untrue. Don't attempt 10
clean Panama hat yourself except
with soap and water. 1t is folly 70
use lemon or acid on this sort OF
hat. and 1t is the height OF folly 70
let the irresponsible and Ignorant
street fakir do your cleaning, Tor ne
invariably uses the rankest acid, Don't
fail to brush your Panama at least
once day. Straw hats should Dc
brushed as often as derby hats
brush mine twice a day, and It Is ~
clean at the end Of the summer as II
was at the beginning. Don't iaii 70
remove a crease that may be any
where in your hat. Such a crease u
bound to cut the straw. Don't %
careless Of your Panama hat. Treat
it with consideration, and It VIII ias'
you all your life.

SOCIETY OF BACHELOKS.

The ranks became so depleted from
this meeting that before another
could be held It became necessary 10
reorganize the society, which was
done. The reunions, held on Aug. ~,
1904, and on Aug. 16, 1905, were most
successful.
Fully 10000 people were In attend,
ance at each Of the gatherings, and
unique programmes portraying the ex-
istence Of bachelor were success
fully carried out.
On these occasions, as on previous
ones, every member wore Q yeiiow
badge upon which was Inscribed tne
motto Of the order, None tnat love
more than myself"
At the last reunion the prize OF tne
oldest bachelor girl was awarded 70
d giddy young woman Of % summers
who, in spite of her advanced age
failed to exhibit any signs OF being
afraid that she would lose out In tne
contest for bachelors heart and
happy home.

track on the ground. No such a sight
was ever before seen in the southwest
country. No train of 20 cars, contain.
ing watermelons alone, was ever be-
fore pulled out of Oklahoma. The
Alabama sweet variety has been
adopted by the melon farmers. This
is long, striped melon OF yellow and
lead colors.
The production this year will be
double that of last year and the acre
age is In the same ratio. The quality
of melon is also better and the de
mand has been greater.
e. c. Lutes, lessee OF some Indian
allotments in the Indian pasture south
of here, this year has cultivated 200
acres of melons, the seeds from which
he is selling to a Kansas City seed
house for IL cents per pound. The
Juice is being manufactured into a
syrup by a new process. His crop is
unusually fine and he has found thai
more money can be realized from the
growing of melons than from any
other branch of farming.

The Inspiration of Human Love.

A little story comes from Geneva,
Switzerland, that brings out the
thought that human love and devotion,
yes, and self-sacrifice, know no race
boundaries. The heroine was Berthe
Gallard, a 19-year-old orphan, who In
this country would be known as
"hired girl" She worked for kind peo-
ple and cared for three children. She
loved them like mother. A fire broke
out in the house, and the parents
rushed into the street In search OF
help, leaving the three little ones In
an upper room. Berthe Gallard passed
through the flames, wrapped two chill
dren In sheets and carried them SAFE
". The roof was falling in, but she
went back for the third child. She
found it, and as the stairs were gone
she appeared at window, wreatheo
in flames, and tossed the BABY lnto
willing hands. Then she leaped from
the window herself and was rushed 10
hospital. She was burned from head
to foot. She whispered: Please
bring the children" kissed them, then
turned to her employers, said: Don't
cry. 1t is all right. / did only my
duty"-and died. The inspiration LOT
the greatest courage is human love-
says the Chicago Journal. 1t may be
love for children, for men, or ior
women, but the fact remains tnat
there is no finer emotion. 1t brings
the greatest Joy. 1t turns seif-sacr''
fee into happiness, and the mere CIV
ing I'D of life, with all its attractions
seems little thing where the iove
is true.

+, Camping In Germany.

The latest discovery in Germany Is
camping! R. Julien writes about
1t In the Berlin Tageblatt as Idle neu-
este Sommer-Romantik.' "Like SO
many new things" he says, 1.-THE
camping. summer amusement comes
to us from the far west by way Of
France. American youths 1t was, pu-
pills, students, who first introduced 1t"
The Americans, he goes on to inform
his countrymen, convinced that the
comforts of life In cities tend toward
effeminacy, make a regular sport OF
camping. Not only during the sub
mer vacation, but often over Sunday
they go--alone, In couples, In fam
lilies, in clubs--to forest or shore.
Sleeping in the open air steels their
nerves, while rod and rifle provide ad-
ditional recreation. Mr.. Julien sus-
poets that "Trapper-romantik' and
inherited ancestral love Of adventure
throw light on this American spe-
cialty. Possibly, he adds, the .paucity
of "Erholungsstatte" has something
to do with 1t. There he is, OF course,
mistaken, but his guess suggests the
main reason, no doubt, why the Ger
mans themselves have not heretofore
known the delights of camping. A
German never takes walk or excur-
sion that does not end at an En-
holungsstatte"- tavern or beer gar
den. Supply follows the demand,
and inns are so abundant, even. in
out-of-the-way places, that tenttng
seems superfuity, If not an absurd
ity. For students, who, most OF all,
might feel inclined to trough 1t" un-
der canvas, dozens OF special inns
have actually been built in the noun
famous regions of Germany. 1t re-
mains to be seen, says the New York
Post, what effect fashion will have
in acclimating this new American fad.
which is said to appeal particularly to
-automobilists!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS q

After the last two reunions an cpl
demic of weddings broke out. a mat
rimonial wave seemed to sweep
through the ranks Of the society and
claimed for its victims many OF its
faithful officers, who rendered their
designations and became beledicts.
A number of bachelor girl clubs in
central Illinois are the outgrowth OF
the bachelors reunions. Prominent
among them is the Hillsboro Bachelor
Girls club, Of Hillsboro, which dates
its organization back several years.
It is composed of wealthy, hand.
some, and talented young women OF
..illsboro, and all are members OF
prominent families in Montgomery
county. Quite friendship exists be-
tween the two associations, and sew
eral weddings between its members
have resulted.
The present officers Of the associa'
tion are G. P. Hamlin, president; @. d.
scott first vice president; William
Alden. second vice president; Fred
w. Ernst, secretary, and George Hell
derbrandt, treasurer.

ton. Each of the numerous guests
went home from 1t with a costly gift

was given q saddle, another beauti.
full and costly souvenir spoon with an

others received gifts equally valuable.
This remarkable woman, who has

is educated, refined and accomplished
and there is not more gracious host
ess in the state than she. This keeper
Of a ranch house has gowns that
would attract attention in any large

So wide has become the fame OF
Mrs. Becker's ranch house and so
great its popularity that a handsome
addition is being built.

Mackenzie, of the American National
Live Stock association, and a stock
holder and director in the Co-opera-
tive Live Stock Commission company,
is here. He was at the stock yards
Monday morning when S. G. Burnside
and e. H. Ehrke, former members OF
the stock exchange, but now agents
of the Cooperative Commission COM
pany open an Office in opposition TO
the Kansas City Live Stock exchange.
I'VE are not here to fight any
body or try to run anybody out OF bus
lness,' said Mr.. Mackenzie. Il am
very sorry that. the occasion arose
where ranchmen, farmers and pro-
ducers of live stock had TO organize
the Cooperative Live Stock Commits
sion company and run independently
of the exchanges We are not on the
aggressive; we are on the defensive;
cur action was made absolutely neces-
sary by the concerted action Of COM
mission men In all the markets where
by they arbitrarily raised the prices
for handling our produce.
I'VE have organized our Co-opera-
tive Commission company to protect
ourselves against this action. We do
not expect to attack; we expect only
o defend our own rights. We will
buy and sell live stock at the same
prices and under the same conditions
that the exchanges handled them be-
fore the edict was issued from a ma
tional meeting of the live stock men
In Buffalo that the commission charges
should be uniformly advanced at all
he markets"

tity with three of his brothers and
with several intimate friends. 1t is
believed that the matter of the secrc-
tlry's decision rs to going upon the
bench of the United States supreme
tutlrt was under consideration. but If Il
conclusion was reached by Mr.. Taft
no announcement of the fact will be
made for several days yet. not :; least
until the secretary returns to Wash

with President Roosevelt.
Asked specifically as - the POSSIBLE
ty of his acceptance of the supreme
court associate justiceship, Mr., Taft
said that manifestly he could not dis
cuss the matter. He maintained that
his conference with his brothers was
but an informal family affair and that
his consultations with his friends in
this city had to do with Philippine
investments.

ference were Henry w. Taft OF this

DATE OF ADJOURNMENT
STILL LONG WAY OFF.

TRENTON, Mar. 15.-Sine die ad-
iournment of the Legislature will not
come Thursday, March %. The as
sembly yesterday reconsidered the
vote by which the concurrent resolu-
ton was adopted and the resolution
was withdrawn. Senator Hillery, Re
publican leader in the senate, stated
Yesterday that the session would
probably last until the middle of
April.
Mr.. Martin, in the house, moved
Yesterday to reconsider the vote by
which the resolution providing for
adjournment March 20 had been
adopted. Mr.. Perkins supported the
motion and it was unanimously
adopted.
Mr.. Perkins said it was apparent
that the business of the house was
now in such shape that it would be
impossible to finish it by March 20,
and for that reason he thought the
fixing of the date for final adjourn
ment should be left until legislative
matters were better in hand.
