Directors of tho Real Estate 1Iust Co h Philadelphia Mgst Answer For

HIPPLE'S CRY FROM CRAVE
Has Aroused Depositors- Los: 10 the Presbyterian Church Will
 Be $lOO,oOO

Philadelphia, Sept 6.-Rumors of arrests of directors of the footed Real Estate Trust Company fill the air to-day. District Attorney Bell declares in most emphatical terms that no man will be spared in the effort to bring to justice those re- sponsible for the dissipation of the depositors' money. The statement is made that two directors who are also members of. the bar have pro- fited to the extent of $750,000 in the past three years by accepting fees from Adolph Segal for passing on security rendered by him for loans from the bank aggregating warrants have not yet been issued for these men.
 President Nipples paintive cry from his grave "Segal got all" has aroused the depositors to a high pitch of indignation. Facts are fast coming to light revealing new forms of duplicity on. the part of men en- trusted with the depositOrs money. and the trust funds of large and small estates. Investigation shows that the footing of the trust company will cost the Presbyterians less than $lO0,0O0..
 Receiver Earle said to-day: Hip pie was not content with stealing the same bond or stock certificates once but did 1t several times over.
 He would. for instance receive bond or certificate as collateral for a loan. the security representing a safe margin. Then If Segal came along asking for loan and pre- senting insuiicient security, Nipple would take the. good security de- posted with a note of another man and place 1t with Segal's note.
 Tn this manner the directors were brought to. believe that the sound security was collateral for the loan to Segal. This sort q opera ton was repeated by Nipple as often as Segals deNands seemed to render ss It " ablishsa that the ssbs: ssss: stitutiUu of bogus abUnuI fUf gU6t bonds amohg tho trust securities of the Presbyterian General Assembly board was accomplished by Nipple through a specie of sleight of hand. | He went to the box In the vault con taining the trust securities in Ques- ton on the pretext of cutting coup | ons in order to cash them and place l the proceeds to the credit of the board. After the box was opened | Nipple informed the clerk that some- body at the door wanted to see him | for a moment. The clerk unsuspect- ingly left Nipple alone for this brief | interval. The time was sufficient to enable him to substitute two bogus bonds for two genuine bonds. which he afterward hypothecated for the benefit of himself or Segal.

Hayana, Sept GA report that General Monocal who is using his in- fuence to establish peace between the government and the insurgents, has an eye on the presidency, is vigorously denied by the leader of the Cuban veterans. Menocal adds that he does not seek the overthrow of President Palma or the moderate administra- tion but desires solely to see the re- public at peace. Personal ambitions, political and otherwise should be set aside for the good of all.

A BIRTHDAY Anniversary.

Comparatively few reach the age OF
four score years under as favorable
conditions As has Mrs Almira j. Ben
nitt of Bridgewater, who passed her
80th birthday, Saturday, July 81. A
large circle of kindred and friends
gathered to celebrate the event, taking
Mrs Bennitt completely by surprise.
Among the guests were her brother
and his wife, Mr. and Mrs Oliver Sulli-
van of Washington, whose 47th we'd
ding anniversary occurred also on that
day, rendering the occasion twofold in
aim and enjoyment. Mrs Bennitt re-
sides at the homestead in River dis
trict, with her daughter, Mrs William
Marsh, and preparations had been
made for an open air celebration under
the NAPLES. This the rain unfOrtu-
nately prevented. Tables we're spread
in the house and dinner served to
about SO guests, representing gAnsonia,
Bristol, New Britain, New Milford and
Pawtucket. Mr. and Mrs Sullivan were
presented with $50 in gold. The day
rounded its hours and passed into his
tory butt Its memory will long con-
tinue an ever-abiding pleasure. We
wish for the dear friend continued
health and happiness. Upon her falls
the soft radiance of the even-tide
light. Beyond, the "Welcome" and
