PHILADELPHIA, Sept. TO deter
mine the responsibility of the directors
of the wrecked Real Estate Trust COM
pany, State Banking Commissioner Bir-
key came here today and appointed two
expert accountants as special examin-
ers, who will tomorrow begin thor
ough examination of the defunct con-
cern. The receiver said tonight after a
conference with the directors that he
hopes the bank will reopen soon and
all depositors will be protected. The
preliminary hearing Of Adolph Segal, the
promoter, William F, North, the treas
urer, and Marshal S. Collingswood, the
assistant treasurer, took place today.
They were held under heavy bail for
trial. When it became known that Bir-
key had decided to interest himself in
the affair there arose many rumors con.
cerning the probable criminal action
against the directors, That these re-
ports are not without foundation was
made plain by Birkey, Birkey stated
that during the past few years prac.
tically every director of the company
had certified to the reports filed in the
state banking department, These re-
ports, he said, appear to have been
false. If his examination sustains this
falsity, Birkey declared he would pro-
ceed against the directors. Evidence
presented at the hearing of Segal, North
and Collingwood disclosed the methods
by which Segal and Nipple worked the
trust company. The most damaging tes-
timony was that both Nipple and segal
had overdrawn their accounts with the
knowledge of North and Collingswood.
On the day Nipple died there was a $64,-
600 overdraft. At times these drafts
amounted to $s000O0

former Judge Parker, in which the
bishop urged the committee to endorse
the administration tickets of both
the Mutual and the New York Life In

meeting at the Waldorf last night, it
seemed TO be the general impression
that, while Bishop McCabe might have
been at liberty to critcise the commit.

ly justified in urging the support of
the administration tickets, especially in
view OF the fact that he did not at
tend any meeting or take the trouble TO
acquaint himself at first hand with the

meeting last night, II is said several

criticism Of the Bishops action, some
going so far as to suggest his resigna-

California Republican Convention
Names Him for Governor.
PARDEE Is BADLY DEFEATED
Present Governor Sidetracked-Direct
Primary Law is Urged-Rate Bill
Approved-Stricter Insurance

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Sept. 6.-Con-
gresham James N. Gillett was unani-
mously nominated for governor by the
Republican convention today. He was
named on the first ballot today, receiv-
ing 59la votes to 233s for Pardee, who
was his only opponent. Prior to the
convention the San Francisco delegation
held caucus and declared for Gillett.
This it is believed influenced many votes,
though the roll call shows Gillett would
have been chosen without the vote of
the city delegation. After the ballot
Pardeen congratulated Gillett, saying:
"I hope you'll have as pleasant an ad.
ministration as I did. God bless you."
The platform adopted reaffirms the ma
tional platform Of 1905; commends con-
gress for the rate bill; the national and
state administrations are endorsed and
thanks are returned to all those who
aided San Francisco in her hour of
need; it recommends a federal enact
ment permitting the free entry of lum-
ber to San Francisco for three years,
and the legislature is asked for reme-
dial measures, the exclusion of all ORR
entail labor is favored and law is ad.
vocated requiring substantial deposits by
insurance companies before being al
lowed to do business, and the direct pri-
mary is urged.

Of our San Antonio office.
Specific charges were made and the
names of the polieyholders alleged to
have received a rebate were furnished.
An investigation was immediate start
ed and we have a written statement
from every polieyholder we have so far
been able to reach, denying the charge.

the fate and asked to furnish proof of
his claim. We are ready to take sum-
mary action in this or any other case
where proof is produced that agents
of this company are violating or have
violated our instructions prohibiting re-
batting. Our instructions are explicit
and agents vii be dismissed whenever
the offense is reported"
The complainant referred to is one of
the two men who communicated with
the international committee. The
whole matter has been referred to Gro
yer Cleveland, rebate referee, for the

SOME CONGRESSMEN OPPOSE
Phonetism or -Phonetism May Be

Minor Questions
(By Sheldon S. CIine.)

| WASHINGTON, Sept, 6.-Has the
thought to be invincible Roosevelt
been hoist on the petard OF spelling re-
form? Is phonetism or anti-phonetism
to become an issue between the par
ties.
1t is easy to imagine aspirants foI
presidential honors asking these ques-
tions of themselves. And what a bound
less field for speculation it opens upl
Ii Mr. Roosevelt is to be the Repub-
lican nominee in 1908, as great many
good people are convinced he will be,
decent regard for the seemliness of
things would require that the national
platform be written phonetically, thus
officially committing the Republican
party to the Carnegie school of spell
ing. And there would opportunity
knock at the Democratic door! A
straight -out plank in the Democratic
platform declaring against any presi-
Dental monkeying with the kings Eng
lish would rally to the cause goodness
knows how many Republican voters
who had hard enough time learning
to spell once, and who would rather
risk a Democratic administration than
tackle the job again.
OF course, it may not come to such
a pass as this, but just now spelling
reform is paramount, Tariff reform
isn't one, two three. Regulation of
the railroads has become a cheap and
common thing alongside the regulation
of vowels and consonants. Even the
matter of governmental owership OF
transportation lines has been forced to
rear seat by the question of Mr.,
Roosevelt's ownership of the English
language.
A prominent senator suggests that
the president should be known to flu
ture generations as Roosevelt the Reg
ulator,' He forced Congress to regu-
late railroad rates, and Congress claims
it really enjoyed the job; he issued
preachment for the regulation of the
size of American families, and good
many American women made no pre-
tense of enjoying it; and now he has
set out to regulate the English Ian
guage, despite the clamoring Of pedan-
tic professors and the howlings of the
British lion. What have the English
got to say, anyhow, about how Eng
lish shall be written3 Not in old Eng
land, but in Young America, is plant
ed the seed that is to save the tongue
of Shakespeare from joining the ghost
ly legions where march the Greek, the
Latin, the Hebraie, and Other languages
that have no place in the world of liv-
ing things. These are the days of the
strenuous life, and there is nothing,
from mans religion to the color of
