Philadelphia, Sept. 8.--It was re- ported on the floor of the stock ex- change Friday afternoon that Receiv- CT Earle has completed the reorgan- ization of the Real Estate Trust com pany and that he will become the president of the institution.
 Three separate investigations of the wrecking of the Real Estate Trust company of this city are now Tn pro- gress and it is expected that by the time examinations have been con- cluded every irregular transaction and the name of every director, officer or employe of the institution who may have had hand in unlawful proceed ings, will be known to the investiga- tors Receiver Earle is hard at work uncovering all securities and other pa- pers to ascertain their value with a view of an early resumption of bus mess by the company.
 District Attorney Bell with corps of assistants, is pursuing his investi- gation to learn whether any other per- sons connected with the institution are criminally liable for the ruining of the institution and the state of Pennsylvania, through Its banking afternoon, began thorough examina- tion of the condition of the trust com pany.
 District Attorney Bell said that un- til Friday he had only investigated the complicity of Frank K. Nipple, the dead president, Adolph Segal, the promoter, and w F. North and M. s. Collingwood, officers of the bank. Se- gal, North and Collingwood are now awaiting trial charged with assisting in wrecking the institution.
 Prom this time on," he said, T will go right to the bottom of this whole affair and find out the name of | every one connected with the running 1 of the institution. If evidence can be found against any directors warrants will be issued for them without regard to their political or social standing.
 The two principal points he wishes to clear up, said MT. Bell, was the | criminal liability of the executive board of the directors and whether two lawyer-directors of the institution accepted fees to the amount of s75O.- 1 900 for passing upon the worth of se- curities that figured in the transac- tion between Nipple and Segal.
 Directors of the trust company are still at work on the suggested plan made out Thursday night by which il is hoped they will be able to reopen the institution and pay the depositor. in full.
