sTuPENDous LOOPING.
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 footing. l intend to proceed to the limit against the persons lia- ble."
 This statement was made Sunday night by the district attorney, MT. Bell, after a day spent in examining the evidence handed to him Saturday by the receiver of the defunct Real Estate Trust company, Mir Earle. That Frank K. Nipple, the suicide president os 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 inGrcate 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 wes, E. P. Borden, R. Dale Benson and Frank K. Hipple
 The company's vice president. MT. Houston. declared that if any of the directors have borrowel money from the bank it will be returned as soon as the receiver calls for it.
 Depositors representing $300,000 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 pGny, said Sunday
 That which was done in the case of the Real Estate Trust company would be possible, under existing laws and regulations, in the affairs Of any other trust company in Phila- delphia. The directors went through the forms that are observed by other 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 out of the question:
