RIPPLE WAS A FoRGeR.
Receiver of Philadelphia Real Estate
 Trust Company Finds Evidence of Criminaiity.

Philadelphia, Sept. 9.-Fc-geries for more than quarter of million Of dollars by Frank K. Nipple, the sui- eide president of the defunct Real Estate Trust company have been dis covered by Receiver Earle. The lat ter made this statement late Friday night adding tlat he had no idea where Nipples villainy would end. Nipple in order to meet his imme ..se overdrafts used the names of some Of the most prominent business men O. this city on notes which in some cases amounted to s150,000
 The president had taken copies of the signatures of number of busi- ness men while some of their checks or negotiable securities passed through his hands, but in every case he avoided the use of the name of a Real Estate Trust company depositor.
 When pinched for money to meet his overdrafts or some big Segal loan, Mir. Earle said, as last resort Nipple would draw up a note with the forged signature attached. This he would take to the cashier or paying teller saying he had personally made the loan and it was discounted. With the amount to his credit he would satisfy the pressing claim.

MORE PAY AND SHORTER HOURS
The BrickIayers and Carpenters Unions Make Demands.

Monday morning the bricklay- CTS working on the various butld- tugs under construction here made demand on the contractors and builders for an increase of pay from 65 and 70 cents an hour to 80 cents an hour, scale eight hours day.
 Of course the contractors were compelled ito come across" or stop all work and the cons nstruction is going steadily ahead.
 The Carpenters Union had been agitating the question of demanding an S-hour a day for work, but were more considerate and notified all builders that on and after January l, 1907, they should ask and enforce an S-hour | day for work and s cents an hour.
 This gives contractors and those contemplating building an opportunity to ascertain what their carpenter work will cost and they can arrange accordingly.
