CHARGED WITH
LOOTINC BANK
Warrants Issued For Two Officers of
Wrecked Philadelphia Trust Co.
BEGAL ALSO TO BE ARRESTED

Philadelphia. Sept 5.-District At
torney Bell is authority for the state
ment that warrants we're prepared for
the arrest of William F. North, treas.
urer of the Real Estate Trust com
pany; NJ. S. Collingwood, assistant
treasurer, and Adolph Segal, on
charges of conspiring with Frank X.
Nipple, the suicide president of the
institution, to loot its treasury. Segal
is the promoter who borrowed more
than s5,0OO,000 from the bank on
fjmsy collarteral to finance his enter
prises. Horace Hill, the aged auditor,
will not be arrested. He is rs years
old, and broken in health. The dis
triet attorney says he was figure
head and a tool used by the loOters.
When the district attorney was ask
ed how the Hipple-Segal conspiracy
was eonsummated, he said:
BLANK notes with Segal's name at
tached have been discovered, and I
think we are on the track of an ex-
PLANTATION of the S2,SO0,OOO difference
in the amounts of loans as given by
the books of the bank and the state
ment of Mr.. Segal.
Evidently Nipple and Segal were
partners in all of the latter's wildcat
schemes. Nipple, while he was not
directly implicated as a stockhoider or
director in the various companies or
ganized with the funds of the com
pany was represented in each of them
through his son, who was treasurer of
four of the companies.
"Segal's method of doing business
was to buy up or organize a company
at an expense of. say $4,000. He
would then mortgage it for eight or
ten times this amount, issue bonds
and pledge these as collateral for more
money.
"Mr. North appears to have been
the executor of the Hipple-Segal plans,
and CollingwOod knew what North
knew"
It is declared in certain quarters
that EHpple's suicide resulted from
Segars failure to realize money on the
plant of the sugar refining company.
When the company was organized by !
Nipple and Segal, the stocks and |
bonds were purchased by New York
and Philadelphia capitalists. Nipple
and Segal are said to have believed
they had control Of the plant, and
when at a critical moment in their
financial affairs Segal applied to Mr.
Havemeyer for money, offering the
refinery as security, Mr.. Havemeyer
informed the promoter that he con-
trolled 81 per cent. of the sugar refin-
cry stock, which prevented Segal from
debating terms.

Plants for Window Gardens.

Vines and trailing plants are the best for
window boxes, and only those which en-
dure hardship with impunity are recon-
mended. The yariegated vinca, German
Ivy cobaea scandens, lonicera reticulata
aurea and variegated trailing abutilon will
meet the requirements and should be
planted thickly enough to entirely cover
the front of the box.

marguerite. blue ageratum yellow and
some of the fancy-leaved varieties of CO.
leus. The common sweet alyssum and
blue lobelias are very pretty, but last
shorter time.
Persons who have shaded veranda not
much exposed to the wind can obtain beau
tiful affects by planting together rex be-
gonia and ferns OF the stronger growing
kinds. Use medium-sized Boston ferns and
nephrolepis cordata and larger plants OF
the holly fern. For trailing ferns the va
riegated nepeta and asparagus sprengeril
do well.
The window box. carefully made, with
plenty of holes bored in the bottom for
good drainage, should be filed two-thirds
full of soil when ready for planting. Set
the plans deep enough so that their roots
are we'll covered with earth. Any uneven
ness on the surface should be filed In with
loose soil after the plants are set.
Light soil, preferably one that has been
mixed thoroughly with good fertilizer, Is
best for a window box.

HOW TO GROW PANsIEs.
Suggestions as to Planting and Culti-
vation of These Flowers.

Pansies are beautiful, easy to cultivate
and most satisfactory for bedding purposes.
1t is quite hardy. and has become one of the
smost popular plants in this country. It has
been SO greatly improved by careful culti-
walton that 1t is necessary for the seeds
man to give 1t careful attention in order
to maintain high quality. AS the best
stock degenerates quickly unless handled by
experts. 1t Is best for the amateur to buy
seed each year.
Sow pansies If possible in bed protected
with glass In the fall. early enough to let
them attain considerable size before cold
weather During the extreme winter
weather they should be protected, and at
air as possible. They should be watered oc-
taken as too much water will cause the
young plants to rot. In the spring, when
the ground has become sufficiently warm.
the plants should be taken from their
beds under glass. cleaned and replanted In
to beds where they are to remain for the
summer
Much care should be taken in selecting
the location of the bed. Pansies require
a position where 1t is cool, and at the
same time where there is plenty of light
and air. In such place they will bloom al
summer otherwise they will last but a
few weeks A clay soil, well enriched.
grow the best pansies. Frequent sprin-
king to keep the soil and foliage moist is
of great help When the pansies are In
full bloom 1t is best to pick the flowers
on each morning

PLANETS VENUS AND MARS

Written for The Star by Prof Eric Doolittle
The sun in It's yearly journey among the
stars has now reached point SO far north
of the celestial equator that 1t rises far in
the northeast and sets in the northwest
Consequently we now enjoy the long and
pleasant twilight of summer, and not until
a comparatively late hour of the night does
the sky become black enough for the faint
er constellation to be seen. To most OBJ
servers the most interesting part of the sky
during this month is the region which lies
low down in the west Immediately after
sunset. The bright stars of winter still
linger here. while among them the three
bright planets, Jupiter Mars and Venus,
will be seen, the first two growing percep-
tibly fainter as the month goes on, but the
last increasing very greatly in brightness
and moving very swiftly toward the east
| among the stars.
Toward the east and south the heavens
are covered with faint stars, forming beau
tiful and delicate groups which are no less
interesting than the more striking constel-
lations in the west. There is no better
month for tracing out the two long consteI-
lations of the Dragon and the Water Snake,
while Bootes, or the Driver, Is nearly
overhead that 1t is in excellent position for
examination The brilliant blue star Vega,
whici. few months ago sank from view in
the northwest, is again appearing in the
northeast. This beautiful star, the arc Iigh.
of the heavens, is summer star; 1t re-
mains in the early evening sky only during
the warm nights of summer. By next Au-
gust 1t viii be almost exactly overhead, but
as the winter months approach 1t will again
sink to the ground in the west.
Great Constellation Hydra.
With the help of figure 1 the observer can
trace out the great constellation Hydra, or
the Water Snake. which stretches all the
way across the sky from the Scorpion to
the Lesser Dog. an ill-omened constellation
which has come down to us from remote
antiquity. Just above Hydra are two little

The Planets.
During the month Of April a most bril-
liam star may have been noticed shining out
low down in the west, just after sunset.
This Is the planet Venus, which is so bright
that it is easily visible long before the sky
grows black enough for the other stars to
be seen. At the beginning of May the
planet is seen for only about an hour after
sunset. AS the month goes on 1t mounts
very rapidly In the sky, until by May 81
1t will have reached the constellation Gem
mi, Fig. 1, and will not then set until after
o'clock. During the entire summer and
autumn this planet will remain with US.
continually increasing in brightness until
next October.
A part of Fig. 1 is drawn on larger
scale In Fig. 2. If the observer viii look
toward the west soon after sunset he will
at once recognize the two planets. Jupiter
and Venus, by their great brightness. As
the sky grows darker, he will distinguish
the brilliant Aidebaran, the brightest star
of the Hyades, and soon afterward, as the
sunset glow dies away, the Pleiades and the
fainter stars of the Hyades will be clearly
visible Midway between these two groups
will be seen the little red planet Mars
The motions of the three planets during
the month will present a most interesting
spectacle. AS shown by Fig. 2, they are all
moving eastward but at very different
speeds. Thus Venus will oyertake Mars on
the morning of May 6, Jupiter on the even
ing of May II, and Neptune on June 2.
while Mars will overtake Jupiter on May
49, The observer should not fail to examine
Venus and Mars with a telescope on May
O. They will then be so close together that
to the eye they will seem to touch each
other; in the telescope they will appear as
shown in Fig 8, Venus being five minutes
