THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1906. EVERY DIRECTOR SHARES HIS GUILT Swore to Correctness of Hip pie's Reports on the Looted Bank. STATE EXAMINER AT WORK Begins Expert Examination of Real Estate Trust Company Hearing Exposes Methods of Wreck ers Hippie's Tricks. PHILADELPHIA,' Sept. 6. To de termine the responsibility of the di rectors of the wrecked Real Estate Trust Company, State Banking Com missioner Birkey came here today and appointed as special bank examiners Charles M. VoUum and Meyer Gold smith, expert accountants, who, with the consent of Heceiver Earle, will be gin tomorrow a thorough examination of the defunct concern. Mr. Earle tonight, after a conference with the directors of the company, an nounced that he hopes to reopen the bank soon and that all depositors will be protected. Mr. Earle says the di rectors have responded to his solici tations to help reorganize the com pany, but did not state what amounts they have guaranteed. The preliminary hearing of Adolph Segal, the promoter, William F. North, treasurer, and Marshal S. Colling wood, assistant treasurer, took place today. .They were held In heavy bail for trial. All Directors Perjured. When it became known that Mr. Birkey had decided to interest himself in the affair there arose many rumors concerning probable criminal action against the directors. That these re ports were not unfounded was made plain by Mr. Birkey. He stated that the law gives the examiners the right to interrogate under oath any director, officer or .employe of the trust com pany, or of any other company holding assets of the defunct concern. During the past few years, Mr. Birkey de clared practically every director of the company had certified to the re ports filed with the state banking de partment. These reports, he said, ap pear to have been false.- If his exami nation sustains this falsity, Mr. . Bir key declared, heL will proceed against the directors. Methods of Robbing Rank. The evidence presented by District At torney Boll at the hearing of Segal, North and Collingwood disclosed the methods by which Segal and Hippie worked the Trust Company. The most damaging testimony was that both Hippie and Segal had repeatedly over drawn their accounts with the knowledge of the treasurer and assistant treasurer. Thes$ overdrafts were carried as cash ac counts. On the day Hippie died there was an overdraft of J64.000 against the president, which was converted by Col lingwood into a loan, showing Hippie's account to be apparently straight. These overdrafts of Hippie and Segal at times amounted ' to more than JMJ0.000.' There was on deposit in the bank approximately t7.000.000 and the loans made to Segal amounted to J5,309,200. Many of the se curities which have since been found In sufficient were bonds and stocks In the Segal enterprises and were signed per sonally -by Hippie. May Start Segal Refinery. Although Mr. Earle appears hopeful of opening the bank at an early date. many of the creditors express some doubt as to his ability to do so, because of the uncertainty of the Segal sugar re finery here as an asset. It has developed that Segal's equity In the plant is repre sented by 49 per cent of the stock. This has been handed to Mr. Earle, who Is de sirous of Securing control. Just how he will attain this is not known, but there are rumors that he intends to bring suit ' against the American Sugar Refining Company, which holds the controlling In terest. In a court of equity and also under the Sherman act. Mr. Earle de clined to discuss this matter. Many of the depositors who placed money in the bank on Monday and Tues day after the directors Knew it was in solvent were allowed to withdraw their deposits today. There were 414 deposits. and of this number 138 were returned. Plan of Reorganization. Mr. Earle's' plan of reorganization will be mailed to the depositors tomorrow. It provides for the reopening or the bank ' by the payment of 20 per cent in .cash to depositors and 30 per cent in preferred stock guaranteed Dy collateral -oonas. the remaining 40 per cent to be paid within sixty days. The directors of the Real Estate Trust Company are to raise the capital necessary for this settlement. GAVE SEGAL ALL HE ASKED Hippie's Clerks Testify to Manner He Played Catspaw. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6. The hearings in the cases of Adolph Segal. V. F. North and M. S Collingwood who were arrested yesterday on charges of aiding in the wrecking of the company, were held before Magis trate Kochersperger today. The courtroom was crowded with men well known in the financial world. District Attorney Bell In outlining his case, said he would prove that the accused men. with Hippie, were en gaged in a gigantic conspiracy to de fraud the company and that as a re suit of their acts more than $5,300,000 had been abstracted from the institu tlon and embezzled for the use of one man. Adolph Segal. The active per sons In the conspiracy, he said, were Hippie and Segal. . The passive agents were North and Collingwood,, he con tinued, who wickedly and wrongfully stood by and saw others loot the In stltution and gave no warning. Mr. Bell said the institution had 6200 depositors, and the deposits amounted to J7 000,000. For the money borrowed by Segal there is, nothing to show but . wildcats. , . Paid Segal's Overdrafts. Robert Di Ghirskey, cashier of the Trust Company, the first witness, told of frequent overdrafts by cither Segal Individually or as treasurer of either one of his companies or Hippie's. He regularly took the Overdraft checks to Hippie, who would grow pale, pace the floor and then say: "Well, I guess we win nave to pay mis. ' . 'These overdrafts," he said, "wor ried me, and I frequently told North about them. He always referred me to Hippie. Sometimes I went to Col lingwood, the assistant treasurer, who agreed with me that the overdrafts were not sound business. He knew what was going on and often referred to Segal as the 'devil s deputy. " George H. Earle, receiver for the trust company, followed. He told of how he examine i all officers to learn f they were conversant with the true condition of the company. " When Mr. Earle was asked what he thought or the worth of the Segal securities, hd said: "No banker would dream of taking auantitv of such industrial security from any one, two or three persons." Before leaving the stand, Mr. Earle gave the District Attorney the envel ope on the back of which was Written Hippie's confession. Last Crime Day Hippie Died. Paying Teller Edgar Fatherson cor roborated the testimony of Ghirskey regarding the overdrafts. The day Hippie died he said, there was an over draft of $64,300 standing against Hip pie s name. Collingwood, as soon as he learned of his death, converted the overdraft Into a loan, thus showing on the books that Hippie had not over drawn his account. A watchman In the trust company testified that Segal often visited Hip pie in the bank building on Sunday mornings, holidays and Saturday after noons, but seldom during business hours. Hippie's Dying Confession." F. Wharton Hippie, son of the sui cide president of the company, identi fied the handwriting on the paper containing the confession as his fath er's. The confession Is as follows: "To the Real Estate Trust Company: "No one Is to blame but myself. Se gal got all the money. I was fooled n lending it to him, thinking his busi ness was good." When the District Attorney com pleted his case he asked the magis trate to hold the prisoners for trial in the same bail as that demanded yesterday, namely $25,000 .for Segal and $10,000 each for North and Col- Ingwood. This was done, but not be fore counsel for Segal had made a statement that Segal would prove his nnocence In court. Counsel said he had been instructed by Segal to say that he had property valued at $10, 000 000 and that all his debts would be paid in full. DIRECTORS IN OX THE STEAL Well Paid for Approving Securities. Hippie's Sleight of Hand. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6. Rumors of looting of the Real Estate Trust Com pany fill the air today. District Attorney Bell declares in most emphatic terms that no man will be spared in the effort to bring to justice 'hose responsible for the looting of the depositors' money. The statement is made that two directors. who are also members of the bar, have profited to the extent of $750,000 in the past three years by accepting fees from Adolph Segal for passing on security ten dered by him for loans from the bank ag gregating $5,300,000. So far as is known, warrants have not been issued for these men, but the public Is waiting with breathless Interest the sensational arrests of directors who stood high in the com munity before the, crash and exposure came. President Hippie's plaintive cry from his grave, "Segal got all!" has aroused the depositors to a tfigh pitch of indigna tion. Lawyers representing many hun dreds of tiiem are taking an active part In the Investigation of the affairs of the trust company, and the facts are coming to light almost hourly, revealing new forms of duplicity on the part of the men entrusted with the depositors' money and the trust funds of. large and small estates. Investigation shows that the looting Of the-trust company will cost the Presby terians less than $100,000, and the leaders of that faith are congratulating them selves that President Hippie chose an opportune time for committing suicide as far as the church is concerned, the funds and deposits being low at this time of the year. Receiver Earle expresses the opinion that President Hippie was "money mad," and that there seemed to be no end to Ihe variety of methods by which he juggled with securities which fell Into his hands. and concerning which he sought to -deceive the directors. "He was not content with stealing the same bond or stock certificate once," said Mr. Earle, "but did It several times over. He would, for instance, receive a bond or certificate as collateral for a loan, the security representing a safe margin. Then, if Mr. Segal came along asking for a loan and presenting insufficient se curity, Mr. Hippie would take the good security deposited with a note of an other man and place It with Segal's note. In this manner the directors were brought to believe that the sound security was collateral for the loan to Segal. This sort of operation was repeated by Mr. Hippie as often as Mr. Segal's demands seemed to render it necessary." Mr. Earle said that these practices of Hippie had left the notes and papers re lating to loans, in almost Inconceivable confusion. It was established yesterday that the substitution of bogus bonds for good bonds among the trust securities of the Presbyterian General Assembly board was accomplished by Mr. Hippie througn a species of sleight-of-hand. He went to the box in the vault containing the trust Vecuritles In question on the pretext of cutting coupons, in order to cash them and place the proceeds to the credit of the board. After the box was opened Hippie informed the clerk that somebody at the door wanted to see him for a mo ment. The clerk unsuspectingly left Hip pie alone for this brief interval. The time was sufficient to enable him to sub stitute two bogus bonds for two genuine bonds, which he afterward hypothecated for the benefit of himself or Segal.

Robertson END TO DOMINICAN SNARL AGREEMENT TO REFUND DEBT AND PAY OCT FUNDS. New York Bank Will Issue Bonds on Condition Americans Collect Custom Duties. NEW YORK, Sept. . (Special.) With in the next two weeks the settlement of the Dominican fiscal embrogllo will be announced In a way that will, for the present at least, relieve President Roose velt and Secretary Root of the serious embarrassment . in which they were placed by the refusal of the Senate to ratify the Dilllngham-Sanchez treaty. Also the way will be clear for turning over the funa of nearly $2,000,000 which has been collected by the American re ceivers of Dominican customs, and which has been accumulating for IS months in the National City Bank and the status of which bids fair to cause Infinite squabbling among Dominican statesmen. If the settlement is made, and there seems no doubt that it will be, this sum of money will be removed from the do main of contention and with no stakes left to play for, the Dominican rebellion now being waged by the Jiminlsta party against the Herlsta partisans in office will simmer away to nothing. The plan proposed is the refunding of the Dominican debt In a lump sum, the bonds to be taken over by a single New York banking house. The bonds will be conditioned upon the collection by Amer ican receivers of the Dominican customs according to the present modus Vivendi, 45' per cent to be turned over to the government for current expenses and 55 per- cent to go to the American banking house holding the bonds for the payment of the Interest on the refunded debt and Its sinking fund.
