MANY SECURITIES MISSING
Suicide Bank President Was Partner
in Select Girls' . School Earle
Suggests Plan to Pay the
Depositors in Full.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 30. Examina
tion of the list of securities held by the
defunct Real Estate Trust Company to
day developed the fact that Frank K.
Hippie, president of the institution, who
committed) suicide, was an embezzler. The
authority for this statement is George
H. Earle, Jr., receiver for the Trust
Company. Mr. Earle declined to say what
securities are missing, but says they
amounted to at least $65,000.
Mr. Earle further declared that Hippie
embezzled the $5,000,000 he loaned to Adolf
Segal, the promoter. These loans, Mr.
Karle asserted, were personal transac
tions. "Although they were made in the name
of the bank, the directors had no knowl
edge of them, consequently the money
was stolen by Hippie" said Mr. Earle.
Hippie Partner In Girls' Behoof.
Another enterprise in which the dead
president was financially interested was
discovered today when it bedame known
he was one of the incorporators of Miss
Wright's select school for ladies at Bryn
Mawr, the suburb in which Hippie had
his Summer residence. The other incor
porators were his son, F. Wharton Hip
pie, and Miss Wright. The latter five
years ago began teaching school at Bryn
Mawr. She made the acquaintance of
Hippie's daughter, now dead, and Hip
pie displayed a friendly interest in her.
I-ast year Miss Wright purchased a large
stone building at Bryn Mawr and estab
lished her school.
Miss Wright said today that Mr. Hip
pie visited the Institution two or three
times a week. His last visit was made,
according to Miss Wright, on Thursday
afternoon of last week, the day before
be shot and killed himself.
Can Pay Dollar for Dollar.
In an interview today Mr. Earle reiter
ated his opposition to a permanent re
ceivership for the Trust Company. This
proceeding, he declared, would deprive
the concern of its trust funds, which are
among its most valuable assets. If all
of Segal's enterprises are as valuable as
his sugar refinery, he said, their opera
tion by the depositors would be more
fruitful of results than any other metV
od, and he believed through such a plan
the depositors would receive dollar for
dollar.
Hippie Blew Out Brains. .
' Coroner King today admitted that Hip
pie committed suicide. When Mr. King
made the announcement. Dr. Albert K.
Read, coroner's physician, was standing
near, and he added:
"You can say that Mr. Hippie blew out
bis brains.
"When I went to Bryn Mawr Satur
day morning to Investigate the death of
Mr. Hippie, I found he was the president
of a trust company, and when I discov
ered that he had committed suicide. I
decided to suppress the fact for a few
days, in order to prevent a run on the
trust company. I thought that, if there
was anything wrong in Mr. Hippie's
transactions, the directors would have a
chance to make up whatever defects
there were." I
The coroner stated that Hippie had
placed the muzzle of a 38-caliber revolver
in his mouth and shot himself. The ball
passed upward and lodged in the brain.
The shooting took place In the bathroom.
TJie suicide arose shortly before 6 o'clock,
and Mrs. Hippie was of the opinion that
her husband was taking a bath. YJhen
he did not return to his room inside of
half an hour, Mrs. Hippie became
alarmed and made an investigation. She,
found her husband lying on the floor in
the bathroom.
Carle's Reorganization Plan.
Mr, Earle said that the plan for the
reorganization of the Real Estate Trust
Company was to ask the creditors to take
preferred stock in the trjst company for
their claims, and appoint their own offi
cers in the company. This, he felt as
sured, would give the creditors their only
chance to get back their money dollar
for dollar. Mr. Earle added that he had
just discovered that a large asset of the
trust company, which it was supposed
was not very good, really was backed
by names perfectly good, and which
could be realized on. This asset is said
to be $250,000 in value.
PHYSICIANS MUST REPORT
BOARD INSISTS OX RECORD OF
CONTAGIOUS CASES.
Deaths From These Diseases Have
Been in Excess of Number
of Cases Reported.
Vhcn last month's report of the
state board of health was compiled,
the fact that a far greater number of
deaths were reported from contagious
diseases than the entire number of
cases on which returns had been re
ceived was noticeable, and the memr
ber3 of the board determined to take
stringent measures to compel county
health officers to pay stricter attention
' to tho enforcement of rules in this
respect. Accordingly orders have been
Issued by the board demanding that
every physician in the State of Oregon
report all cases of contagious diseases
Coming- under his care or notice to the
county health officer, through whom
It will be reported to the state board.
By obeying- this important regulation
to the letter it will be a comparatively
easy . matter to trace such diseases to
their source and eradicate the cause.
Especially Is this true of typhoid fever,
smallpox and diphtheria, and physi
cians who do not -comply with this
state regulation will find themselves in
hot water.
A number of ases are cited by the
state board wherein contagion was
spread among: several towns and in
some instances over a good part of the
state by the negligence of the attend
ing physicians, but it Is hoped and an
ticipated that there will be no further
occasion to reprimand doctors for not
reporting contagious diseases in time
to prevent their spread by precau
tionary measures

Carnival of
Quire the Best
A Sensational Sale of Suits for One-Half!
Goodness knows this sale should crowd the salons to completion, for almost every woman has a suit to buy
for Fall. There's a big difference in what "half prices" mean to you, too. Here half price is a serious
proposition. This store is governed by ethics of fairness. It's easy for careless stores to get trumpery
merchandise and mark it doubtless truly so at half price. But not so at this Olds, Wortman & King
Store. Here are suits in good styles and Fall weights, materials embracing cheviots, broadcloths, etamines,
Panamas, imported cashmere fabrics and tweedish mixtures. A fine color range gives choice of Alice blues,
lavenders, tans, grays, greens, black and white schemes and pretty light mixtures in attractive shades. The
models include all of Fashion's favorites, embracing the jaunty Eton and Eton blouse models, chic jack
et styles and stately long-coated modes. Every phase of correct structure, from the suits in severely tai
lored effects, built on plain drawn lines, to the models exquisitely trimmed in beautiful embroideries, laces,
braids, buttons, and rich, handsome broadcloths in colors. Values range up from $10.00 these at $5.00
today, up to those at $75.00, which will be $37.50 and all in-between values at HALF PRICE 1
