NIPPLE SUICIDE
AND EMBEz1ER.
Securities of Real Estate Trust Com
pany Missing.
A CO-REcEIvER is ASKED FOR.
Truth About the Death of the
President of the Real Estate
Trust Company Suppressed by the
Coroner in the Interest of the
Company.


Philadelphia, Especially .-Exami-
nation of the list of securities held
by the the defunct Real Estate Trust
Company developed the fact that
Frank K. Nipple, president of the
institution, who committed suicide,
was an embezzler. The authority
for this statement is George H.
Earle, Jr., receiver for the trust
company.
Mr.. Earle declined to say what
securities are missing, but he de-
clared that Nipple had hypothecated
S65, 900 worth of the paper, securing
$4,000 for the securities, which he
never returned. Receiver Earle fur
Their declared that President Nipple
embezzled the $5,000,000 he loaned
to Adolf Segal, the promoter These
loans, Mr.. Earle asserted, were per-
sonal transactions. Although made
in the name of the bank, the direc-
tors had no knowledge of them, con-
sequontly the money was stolen by
Hipple,' said Mr.. Earle.
Another enterprise in which the
dead president was financially inter
ested was discovered, when it became
known that he was one Of the in
corporators of Miss Wrights Select
School, for ladies, at Bryn Mawr, the
suburb in which Nipple had his sum-
mer residence. The other incorpora-
tors were his son, F. Wharton Hip
pie, and Miss Wright. The latter
five years ago began teaching school
at Bryn Mawr She made the ac-
quaintance of Mr.. Nipples daughter,
now dead. and Mr.. Nipple displayed
a friendly interest in her. Last year
Miss Wright purchased large stone
building at Bryn Mawr, at a cost. it
is said, of 100000, and established
her select school,
Miss Wright said that Mr.. Nipple
visited the institution two or three
times week. His last visit was
made, according to Miss Wright, on
Thursday afternoon of last week, the
dag before he shot and killed him
self.
Among the developments of the.
day was the application for the APP
pointment of coreceiver by inter
ests claiming to represent 10000 de-
positors.
There has all along been sus-
picion that Nipple, who was found
dead at his home in Bryn Mawr,
Pa, committed suicide, and it was
confirmed by Joseph N. King, coro-
ner of Montgomery County. When
he made the announcement DR.. AL
bert H. Read, the coroner's physi
clan, was standing near, and he add
ed:
you can say that Mr.. Nipple
blew out his brains"
Since the death of Mr. Nipple the
family physician and the coroner
maintained that he died of cerebral
hemorrhage while taking bath
The coroner said:
when l went to Bryn Mawr Fri
day to investigate the sudden death
of Mr.. Nipple I found that he was
the president of a trust company,
and when I discovered he had COM
mitted suicide | decided to suppress
the fact for q few days in order to
prevent run on the trust company.
I thought that if there was anything
wrong in Mr.. Nipples transactions
the directors would have a chance
to make up whatever defects there
were"

The review by the President

President Roosevelt was very

addressed words of praise to the

ANY man who fails to be
periodically inspired by such a
sight is a poor American, and
every American who has seen it
ought to be a better American
for It," said the President.
1t rained just before the re-
view, but the sun shone when it
began. There was a gale and
heavy seas, which made condi-
tons too strenuous for the
smaller craft that had brought
spectators, and they fled for
shelter.
There were many ceremonial
incidents, which were carried out
in strict accordance with naval
etiquette.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Especially .-Un-
der skies that broke brilliantly blue
before a whistling westerly gale,
which swept down Long Island Sound
and blew out to sea, the sullen clouds
and tempestuons rain which Monday
morning threatened to immeasurably
mar the spectacle, President Roose-
welt within hailing distance of his
summer home reviewed the most
magnificent naval fleet ever assem-
bled under the American flag. Forty
five of the most splendid types Of
fighting vessels af1oat lay at anchor
in three long columns at the naval
yacht Mayfower, which just year
ago was written into history as the
meeting ground of the peace pleni-
potentiaries of Russia and Japan,
passed up and down the lanes, the
President an applauding spectator
on the bridge. The Maydower's jour
ney was made amid a continuous
boom of saluting cannon, and gun
after gun spoke the nayy's honor to
the Commander-in-chief, of all Amer
ica's military forces.
AS the Mayf1ower dropped her an
Choir at the head of the fleet on the
completion of the review the Presi-
dent descended from the bridge, his
face wreathed in smiles and enthus-
iastically throwing his arms around
the shoulders of a group of senators
and representatives, exclaimed: "Any
man who fails to be periodically in
spired by such a sight as this is. a
mighty poor American, and every
American who has seen it ought to
be better American for it."
The sentiment Was echoed enthus-
iastica1ly by the group around the
President.
And you, gentlemen" he said,
addressing the naval committee, care
responsible for it. 1t is your handi-
work, and it has all been done within
the past 10 years. Every one OF
these ships is fighter and ready IT,
go into action at moments notice.
Again you have shown your wisdom
in the appropriations for the target
practice, for there is where the Amor
: lean Navy excels. Our men can shoot
and shoot straight, and therein lies
our naval strength and our superior
ity."
President Roosevelt had a great
day 1t was his day throughout In
going from the w. Emlen Roosevelt
pier to the Mayf1ower in an orep
launch in the morning he was
drenched by rain and spray, and the
little launch was tossed about in the
toughest manner by the unusually
sea which stiff winds kicked up The
moment he put his foot on the deck
of the Mayfiower, as if by prearrang-
ed signal, the rain suddenly stopped
and before the 21-gun saluted which
welcomed him had been completed
the sun was shining. From that
time until the review was finished
not a cloud married the spectacle
When the Mayflower anchored at its
conclusion the clouds gathered again
threatening rain, but the weather
soon cleared and remained so during
the remainder of the afternoon and
evening. Not an incident occurred
to interfere with the carefully ar.
ranged program.

Letter to G ". DuPre, Marietta. Ga.

Dear Sir: How did you get your bus
mess? Wen tell you how we got ours.
You sell shoes. we make paint perhaps
we can do good turn to ourselves,
you and we, by swapping experiences.
We began 152 years ago in little
shop few-minutes walk from where
we are now great many things have
happened, we don't remember them
oil. We made as good paint as we
could and learned to make better. We
are the oldest now; we don't know
whether we had any teacher not; it's
40 long ago if we had, he's gone and
forgotten. We should have been for
gotten, II we hadn't made good paint
and friends.
You buy your shoes; you have an adj
vantage in that; if you make a mis-
take, you can stop it quick; If you
make hit, you can push it quick.
We've had to go slow it's hard to pick
out ones own mistakes, and nothing
but fun to correct the mistakes OF 9th
ers.
You know where to go for leather
that keeps its shape, feels good, looks
new, and wears q long time. What a
comfort it is to be comfortable from
making ones customers comfortable
We cleo have unique advantage
unique, you know, means that nobody
else has anything like it. We make q
strong paint that takes less gallons,
saves half the cost of painting your
house, and it's like that leather of
yours for wear 1t is all paint and the
strongest of paint. Paint is usually
adulterated and weak.
We're very old, but we make young
paint one gallon is better than two, II
it has the stuff in it. Yours truly,
z. w. DEyoE & Co.,
New York.
