the elevation of the negro people in

but recognizes fully the necessity for
work also in other directions; such
work. for instance as is being done by
numerous religious and secular or
ganizations. During the brief period
of its existence the league has given
the race new hope and new light and
added faith. 1t has stimulated the en-
tire race in business directions. Large
ly through its influence nearly 200
local negro business leagues have been
organized, businesses of nearly every
character, such as merchandising,
banking, real estate dealing, manu-
featuring, contracting, and others.
have been started. Twenty-Five banks
are now being operated by the race,
eight of these In Mississippi alone.
No less than fourteen of these banks
have been started since the league was
organized. Two theatres have also
been recently built by negroes for the
negro race.

THE DENOMINATION
WILL LOSE HEAVILY
President Nipple. an Alleged Suicide,
--''''- 70 Stood High In church
Circles.


Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. $3.50 great
was the confidence reposed in Frank
K. Nipple, the late president of the
Real Estate Trust company, which
was yesterday forced to the wall be-
cause of the secret business transac-
tfons of Mr.. Nipple, that the institu-
tion was virtually the bank of the
Presbyterian church. Not only the
general assembly, which was a large
depositor, but even the smallest Sun
day school organizations and hundreds
of individuals with abiding faith in the
integrity of the late president, had
entrusted their funds and savings to
the institution.
1T almost destroys a persons faith
in human nature" said H. P. Ford,
private secretary to DR.. Alexander
Henry, secretary of the board of pub
lication and sabbath school work of
the Presbyterian church who is treas
urer of the trustees of the general
assembly. "Hipple had control of over
$l.OOO,O0O and, as treasurer of the
permanent committee on home mis-
sions and sustentation in the synod
of Pennsylvania and the Presbyterian
hospital of this city, other large
amounts were at his command"
Since the failure of the trust com.
pany 1t has been learned that only
few months ago the institution was
under consideration as a possible de-
posftory for the foreign missionary
funds of the Presbyterian church. The
influence of Nipple, it is said, might
have eventually prevailed. The an
nual contributions to foreign missions
amount to over 81 100000 and its sur
plus on hand always equals half that
amount.
At the conclusion Of a prOtracted
conference with the directors of the
embarrassed Real Estate Trust COM
pany this afternoon, Receiver Earle
said that in his estimation the receiv-
ership will be only temporary and that
the bank will be able to rasume busi-
ness at an early day. He sad II would
take several days before ha will be
able to make a definite &tata3cnt. He
spoke optimistically and said he did
not think the failure would prove to
be as bad as it was at first thought.
1t is likely that an Investigation of
the manner in which President Nipple
came to his death. now will be made.
Coroner Read of Morristown admits
that Nipple may have committed sui
eide. A few friends who attended the
private burial of the late president of
the trust company on Monday, had
knowledge of his difficulties. but none

st. Paul, Aug. 29.-Prominent law
yers from nearly every state in the
union and great many more, who are
not so prominent, are gathered in st.
Paul today to attend the twenty-ninth
annual meeting of the American Bar
association, which will be held in the
house of representatives chamber, at
the state capitol. The first session
was called to order at 10 o'clock this
morning by George r. Peck of Chicago,
president of the association. This is
the first time that the American Bar
association has ever been so far into
the northwest to hold its meetings, but
notwithstanding the distance, there
seems to be no lack in interest. Over
two hundred attorneys had registered
from other cities when Secretary
Hinckley closed his bureau in the
Ryan hotel last night, and early this
morning there were manv who had
arrived today who were waiting to be
registered before the bureau was open
for business. 1t is expected that about
800 members will he in attendance at
the sessions.
The weather is delightfully."- cool and
bright with prospects of continuing
SO during the week which will insure
a pleasant time. ..r.
With lawyers there is knack of
getting to the point as quickly as
possible. President Peck raped for
order within few minutes of the time
set for beginning the first session, and
began reading the presidents annual
address in which he communicated the
most noteworthy changes in the
statute laws on points of general in
terest made in several states and by
congress during the preceding year.

DENIS GATHER TO SEE BRYAN.
THEIR fPEERLESS LEADER''

Associated Press Csble to The Evenins
New York, Aug. 29.-Craft of every
conceivable kind from the palatial pri-
vate yacht to the snorting little tug
boat went down the bay today to meet
the North German Lloyd liner Princess
Irene, having on board William J.
Bryan and his party. The boats car
ried hundreds of democrats anxious
to greet their idol as the waves of the
Atlantic brought him into view. Be-
yOnd a possible glimpse of Mr.. Bryan
at the ships rail as the Princess Irene
steams slowly through the Narrows
and up the inner bay into the North
river. the enthusiastic democrats will
have no opportunity of seeing or meet
ing their leader until the proper time
arrives.
From the time the steamship ties
up at her pier in Hoboken until Mr..
Bryan lands at the Battery tomorrow
the leader will keep in strict seclusion.
He probably will spend the night
aboard the yacht of bis friend, Mr..
Goltra of st. Louis. where he will
confer with those who have closest
relations with him, personally or polit-
ically. The political managers of the
distinguished Nebraskan realize that
the present is most critical moment
in his career. Silver democrats. gold
democrats. socialistic democrats and
all the other kinds are here to "look
him over" Tomorrow's reception in
honor of "the peerless leader" is sure
to develop to some degree the respec-
tive attitudes toward him of the sew
eral democratic factions. 1t is assum-
ed that after these factions, through
their representatives who they have
sent to New York, have seen him and
heard his speech in response to the

welcome home, they will make up their
minds as to whether he shall have
their support for another nomination
for the presidency. II the democratic
national convention were to be held
today Bryan would be named for presl-
dent by acclamation. Whether this
sentiment possesses a sufficiently
strong foundation to stand the strain
of the next two years only time can
tell.
Democratic delegations who are to
participate in the Homecoming con-
The number of visitors already meets
the most sanguine expectations of those
in charge of the demonstration. The
largest delegations appear to have
come from Illinois and Missouri. Next
in order as to number are Maryland,
Virginia, Georgia and the Carolinas.
Baltimore will be represented by a
party of several hundred and other
Southern cities are sending good sized
delegations. From the west, as far
away as California, Oregon and Wash
ington, smaller delegations are on
hand. About the hotels and other
public places strangers are to be seen
wearing badges indicating that they
hail from Kansas, Oklahoma, Indiana,
Ohio. Iowa, West Virginia. the Dakotas,
Wisconsin, Michigan and almost every
other state of the Union.
The democratic club. which last
year opened its hansome new home,
is acting as host of the occasion The
club is spending $1,000 a day for the
entertainment of the visitors. The
club members declare they will do the
thing up right and proper. no matter
what the cost. Open house is the rule

that Is necessary to obtain welcome.
There Is music and day and night
buffet luncheons, constantly replen-
ished. Members are always on hand
ready to take the stranger into tow and
pilot him about the metropolis.
Among the visitors are numerous
committees who are charged with the
duty Of making arrangements for Mr..
Bryan to visit their localities in the
near future in order to help out in the
present campaign. 1t Is likely that
nearly all of these will meet with dis
appointment. Mr.. Bryan has promised
to visit several points in this vicinity
the latter part Of this week before
starting for his home in Lincoln,
where another great demonstration
awaits him. Later he will deliver one
or more speeches in Missouri. where
the republicans are making heroic
effort to capture the state this fall.
When this program has been carried
out Mr.. Bryan will seek quiet and rest
somewhere away from the crowds.
1t Is but natural that he should de-
sire rest after the obe-trotting tour
which came to an end with his arrival
in New York today His Journey
was begun on Sept. q of last year.
Since that time he has visited about
thirty different lands in which he has
come in personal contact with persons
who control the destinies Of the world.
Among those with whom he has had
interviews may be mentioned the en-
peror of Japan, the emperor of Korea,
Admiral Togo, the Czar of Russia,
Emperor William of Germany. King
Edward and numerous others. All the
important countries of Asia and
Europe were visited. the tour extend
ing both below the equator and abovs
the arctic circle.
