THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND, SEPTE3IBER 2, 1906. DIRECTORS PUT IN SWEATBOX Receiver Laying Foundation for Prosecution of the Guilty Officers. WORSE AS HE DIGS DEEPER Kcal Kfetate Trust Company Wrecked With Knowledge of Others Be sides Hippie District At torney Is Consulted. FHlLtA-DEl,PHIA. Sept. L Justice la to be meted to the men responsible with Frank K. Hippie, the president of the Heal Estate Trust Company, tor the col lapse of that institution. Announcement was made tonight that the evidence so far unearthed by Receiver Earle had been turned over to District Attorney Bell, who is expected to cause the arrest of the wreckers. The names of the men un der suspicion were not made puhlic. Since his appointment Receiver Earle has maintained that it could not have been possible for President Hippie to en tangle the trust company's affairs with out the knowledge of others connected with the Institution. Acting on this im pression he has been persistent in his efforts to discover evidence of collusion. Directors, officials ana clerks of the com pany were called before Mr. Earle today. For two hours District Attorney Bell was in Mr. Earle's office. The announcement that the evidence had been placed in the District Attorney's hands followed. This development came after Receiver Earle had engaged John G. Johnson as counsel, to render an opinion as to the responsibility for the failure of the com pany. Among the men who appeared be fore the receiver were four directors who are said to have heard of Hippie's loans to Adolph Segal at least several weeks ago. Treasurer William F. North, who was supposed to approve all the loans by the trust company, and Theodore Prosser, the company's real estate officer, who was supposed to have approved the mort gages affected by the security for his loans, was also examined. "The deeper I get into the thing the worse it looks," said Receiver Earle. "The trust funds, which I had thought intact, have -been tampered with to the extent of $50,000. But this sum is" distrib uted through 6.000,000 the bank had in trust, and the loss will not be heavy on any individual." Mr. Hippie's desk was opened and in it was found a. statement by Horace Hill, the company's auditor, which, Mr. Earle Fays, is materially different from the statement Mr. Hill gave him. The Rev. Dr. William H. Roberts, stated clerk of the Presbyterian General Assem bly, has made formal application to the receiver to examine the securities of the trustees of the General Assembly. These were in the custody of President Hippie, and they amount to nearly $1,000,000. The report that certain directors and their relatives withdrew their accounts from the trust company after they knew It was insolvent Is denied by officers of the institution. ICUMOR THAT BANKER LIVES Weird Story of Substitution of Body From City Slorguc. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1. A rumor spread like wildfire about Broad and Chestnut streets today that Hippie is not really dead but had skipped to Europe. According to this story, a body was ob tained at c morgue and substituted for Hippie. This, it was said, was why the funeral was held privately. Those of the directors who were seen refused to con lirm the report. .They admitted, though, that they had not themselves viewed the body. When the rumor was carried to Coroner King at Norristown, his wife said that he was out of town. Dr. Read, the Coroner's physician, said: "Go see the Coroner." When told that the Coroner was not ac cessible. Dr. Read turned on his heel and proceeded up Main street with the re mark, "I won't discuss it." The Coroner has not filed his report of the case in court. In previous interviews the Coroner said he had seen Hippie's (or at least a body which the family said was Hippie's) and told of the only vis ible outward mark, which was an abra sion on his lip. It is understood that the scheme covering up the suicide included that this abrasion should be responsible for any blood which might have been on Hippie, and that had the newspapers not been so diligent the suicide story would never have been given out. There are many who believe that King ior Read never really saw the body, but took Dr. Powell's word for It, that the body was Hippie's, and that he had com mitted suicide. KID MAYOR MAKES DISPLAY Milwaukee's Executive Visits Presi dent Roosevelt In Red Auto. OTSTER BAT, Sept. 1. (Special.) President Roosevelt received a visit to day from Mayor Becker, of Milwaukee, who rode down from New York in a red automobile. The "Kid Mayor" believes in advertising, for upon the rear of his touring car was a large sheet of canvas bearing the words, "Mayor Becker, of Milwaukee." The villagers and the resi dents of the neighborhood thought the wagon was part of the show that was advertised to appear at the opera-house tonight, and when they go and fail to find the Mayor and his automobile they will probably demand their money back. The Mayor's visit to the President had no political interest and their conversa tion was limited to the usual expressions of good will. UNCLE SAM ALONE. (Continued From Page l.) a pretext for occupation. I have perfect confidence, in a fair interpretation of the Phut amendment by President Roosevelt. " The latest . telegrams from Puerto Principe and Santiago show that the situntioii in Eastern Cuba is better lliun reported Friday night. The in surgents in Puerto Principe appear to have come from Santa Clara. The in cident at Songo was not an actual up rising; hut was due to an attempt to capture some spectators who held the town iitttiioritics at bay until the ar rival of rum I guards from Santiago. Mrttanzas is quiet. A large band of insurgents continues to roam in Ha vana Province. Pino Guerrera's forces in I'inar del Kio have divided into small parties and are eluding the troops with the utmost - ease, -while constantly watch ing their movements. Guerrera himself camped today near Cayuco. Business throughout the island is practically dead and no persons more earnestly hope for American Interven tion than the Spanish merchants. Many Cubans have a similar desire, but thla is tempered by pride. A few leaders of both political par ties suggested this evening as a solu tion of the trouble that the Senators and Representatives sign an agreement that a special session of Congress shall pass acts granting amnesty to the. rebels, providing for municipal elec tions within 60 days and a new general election law, providing minority rep resentation in all branches of the na tional and municipal governments. WON VICTORY, NOT DEFEATED Asbert Gives Jiew Version of Al leged Government Success. HAVANA, Sept. 1. (Special.) -What was reported on Friday night to have been a great government victory over Colonel Asbert' s Insurgent force in. Havana Prov ince turns out to have been. In fact, only a slight rebuff for the revolutionists, it not defeat for the government troops. Asbert, at the head of 600 men. entered Carabaldo, in Havana Province, this morning. There were just four wounded men with the column. The statements of the insurgents showed that instead of having been defeated, they more than held their own. It was reported by the government that Asbert had lost 40 killed and wounded. The insurgents deny this absolutely. Colonel Asbert's force has grown stead ily, notwithstanding the fact that he has made no effort to recruit and is In a po sition to Injure the government materi ally. DENVER IS NOT FAVORED Complain That Freight Rates to the Coast Are Less Than to That Point. WASHINGTON, Sept. L Discrimination and unjust rates are the charges filed with the Interstate Commerce Commis sion today against many of the Important lines of railroad of the country by shippers. One of the important cases filed which will likely result later in a hearing was one in which the Merchants' Traffic As sociation of Denver "complains that the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail road Company and all of the Important lines of railways doing business between the North Atlantic Coast and the Pacific Coast discriminate against Denver mer chants and Jobbers in favor of those of San Francisco and other Pacific Coast points in the matter of rates. It is alleged that the defend ant eompanies exact a rate on calico and similar merchandise from At lantia Coast points to San Fran cisco and other Pacific Coast points of tl per 100 pounds on carload lots and $1.50 per 100 on less than carload lots; whereas to Denver and Colorado common points they charge $1.79 per 100, with no reduc tion for carload lots. On other classes of merchandise, such as -cotton sheet ings, cotton duck, etc., the defendants charge a rate of 90 cents per 100 on car load lots and $1.35 per 100 for a less amount than a carload; while the rate on the same goods to Denver and Colorado common points Is $1.79 per 100, irrespec tive of amount. It is urged that this is a case in which the shorter haul is included in the longer, and the charges to Denver are excessive, unjust' and unreasonable and dlscrima tory. The complainant asks the commis sion to establish proper rates to Denver from Atlantic Coast points, and to order that they in no event shall exceed the rates to the Pacific Coast point Another case involves the freight rates charged by Southern roads for the ship ment of fruit to the Northern markets. LONESOME WITHOUT GIRLS Order Against Admission to Concert Halls Overworks Pianos. The order excluding women from all concert halls and saloons went Into ef fect yesterday and was rigidly enforced by the police officers. The women's orchestra at Erickson's gave way to one lone pianist, who tried to amuse the Immense crowds which 3urged into the place the entire eve ning. The old Fritz hall was almost de serted and the only exhibition on the stage was a moving picture outfit, but that did not seem to draw the crowds. The same at Blazier's. Moving pictures took the place of all other attractions at the halls last night and this is the first time in many months that not a single representative of the weaker sex was seen in any of the re sorts. The crowds were not so large as those on past Saturday nights and the absence of the women's orchestra at Erickson's took away much of the ani mation usually observed in the place. The pianist then had a hard time to make his muslo heard throughout the immense hall amidst the noise of the hundreds of talking men. The proprietors of the places kept their word in obeying the order issued by Chief Gritzmacher several days ago, but it is understood they will all con test its validity in court. BISHOP VERSUS COMMITTEE New York Men Say Ticket Proposed Has Names of Former Officers. NEW YORK, Sept. 1. The executive committee of the international policy holders committee has been criticised by Bishop McCabe of the Methodist Church for opposing the administra tion ticket proposed for their adoption. The bishop defended the ticket and is met by a statement from the execu tive committee in which it is alleged that the proposed ticket contains the names of several persons concerned in losing policy-holders' money of the New York and Mutual Insurance Com panies. ST. PAUL RUMORS REVIVED New York Stock Exchange Has News of Absorbtion by Union Pacific. NEW YORK, Sept. 1. Rumor has been very strong on stock exchange and in .brokerage bouses here today that some announcement will be made very shortly, possibly early next week, that Union Pa cific or interests connected with it have secured control of the Milwaukee Rail road. Directors of both companies are non committal merely saying that as far as they know control of the Milwaukee has not changed yet. Duty on Canadian Goods Increased. VICTORIA, B. C. Sept. 1 J. s. Larke, Canadian agent in Australia! cabled from Sydney today that the Australian government had introduced a measure providing for a tariff pref erence to Great Britain and New Zea land. The duties are increased on Canadian bacon, butter, cheese, grain, onions, potatoes and timber. DISMAY IN FRANCE Sunday , Rest Unwelcome to Workman and Employer. MAKE PARIS NO LONGER GAY Labor Now Seeks Way to Escape Law It Demanded Requiring AVeekly Rest Day Employ ers Chuckle With Glee. PARIS, Sept. 1. (Special.) After having for years demanded a law making more than six days' work in a week illegal, al most all classes of employes -view with consternation the realization of their sup posed dream, for such law goes Into ef fect September 9. Tomorrow is the last Sunday on which, it will be legal for res taurants, bars, theaters, dry goods shops, barber shops and similar establishments to be kept open, unless the frantic meet ings of all trades now taking place shall effect a postponement of the application of the law. It seems hard now to find any one who wanted the bill passed, but six months ago the labor leaders were talking of the injustice of making men work every day, or Wen of allowing it. Where the shoe pinches hardest is in the cafes and res taurants, which are trying to evade the law by agreeing to exchange their per sonnel one day in the week, in that way abiding by the letter of the law, which forbids an employer to permit the same man to work for him on seven consecutive days. Similar ruses are being suggested in other industries, and are even urged as the only means of saving from disaster the system of retaliation. The plan for eaclf employe or workman to have his own special day of the week for rest does not seem to suit the laborer, who does not consider this a recognition of the duty of the whole labor world to stop work once a week. Employers look upon the situation with satisfaction, as proving once for all that the working classes are Incited to discon tent by professional leaders, and do not know what they want. Therefore, nu merous proprietors of large industries, like hotel syndicates and metallurgical enterprises, encourage the strict applica tion of the law rather than otherwise, though they, like the rest of France, are confident that the law must be so mod ified, almost at once, as to be practically inoperative. The present effort to pre vent the application of the law probably will be successful. MAY BE SCRAMBLE FOR FOOD Police" Will Enforce Sunday Rest, and Trouble Is Feared. PARIS, Sept. 2. (Special.) Parisians may be forced into a mad scramble to obtain food before the day ie over, owing to the preparations being made by the police to Inforce the new law reauiring one day of rest in each week for persons engaged in all lines of business.,,, .This went info effect this morning. There have been declarations that the law would be ignored. The police propose to see that it is obeyed and trouble is feared. An imposing detail of police will visit all shopa and see that there are no viola tions. Prosecutions will be instituted wherever there is an attempt to Ignore the law. Walters in restaurants and in the sa loons are up in . arms. Waiters have threatened to quit work In a body if an attempt is made to force them to rest today, and will voice their protest in a mass meeting. DREYFUS TO WRITE HISTORY Will Resign, Leave France and Give Biography to World. PARIS. Sept. 1. (Special.)

He would have preferred active service with a line regiment, but the of ficials say they have already gone as far as they can go with safety in making his rehabilitation so thorough and com plete.

With the exception of reducing the as sessment against the Southern Pacific Company on its line from $16,000 to $12, 000, the Clackamas County Board of Equalization, which completed its work here today, indorsed the assessable values of the county practically as returned by Assessor Nelson.

CAPTAIN WAS ON DECK Vessel Was Carried Four Miles Out of Her Course by Unknown Cur rent, 'as Course Was Set Correctly. HONOLULU, Sept. L The effort to float the transport Sheridan at high tide today resulted In failure. A discouraging report comes from the wreck. The steamer is reported to be leaking.

All staterooms were Immediately filled with steam and, thinking the vessel was afire, the passengers rushed out In their night dress in confusion. - Captain Peabody thinka that the ves sel was carried out of her course by a phenomenal current, as her course was set for more than four miles off land.

"Peruna is the best medicine I have ever known." PERUNA Is not a nervine. It does not benefit nervous debility by stimulating merely. It removes the cause of many cases of nervous debility.
