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.

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

Biography to World.
PARIS. Sept. 1. (Special.) Major Drey
fus' friends say he will resign hia- com
mission in the army next month, when
he will have completed 30 years of ser
vice. He is reported to be much dis
satisfied with his assignment to an ad
ministrative position in the suburbs of
Paris; where he is not in touch with the
army. 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. According to a close friend of Mayor
Dreyfus, who visited him recently in
Switzerland, where he now Is, he Intends
to liquidate the pension due him and
leave France forever and devote himself
to rewriting In English the history of his
case. Several publishers have made

Railroad Assessment Reduced.
OREGON CITY, Or., Sept. 1. (Special.)
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. This year's roll shows
the total valuation of assessable property
in the county to be $10,500,000, or an in
crease of about $1,250,000 over the 1905
roll, including the tax exemptions here-,
tofore allowed and amounting to nearly
$500,000.
Assessor Nelson states that even by
granting the railroad company this re-,
duction in assessment, this corporation,
on an assessed valuation of $12,000 per
mile, will pay taxes on the 1906 roll at
the rate of $142 per mile, while the as
sessment of this corporation in the other
counties at higher valuation nets taxes
ranging from $110 to $130 per mile, so
that in this county the company will pay
higher taxes than In any other county In
the state.
Corporations Denied Reductions.
SALEM, Or., Sept 1. (Special.) The
Marion County Board of Equalization ad
journed today after denying the requests
from a number of corporations for reduc
tions in their assessments. The total as
sessed valuation of property in the county
is $28,754,959, as compared with $9,S31,946
last year. AH property is assessed at its
actual cash value, as nearly as could be
ascertained.
Some of the large corporations, such as
the telephone, electric and water com
panies, sustained the heaviest increases,
but since Assessor Rice had carefully
ascertained the value of the property and
was ready to back up his figures, petitions
for reductions were of no avail.

SAVE SHEBiDAN
Passengers From Transport
Arrive Safely in Honolulu.
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. The
ultimate saving of the vessel 1b depend
ent upon the wenther.
The Sheridan is lying in euch a posi
tion that a southerly storm would quick
ly smash ner on the sharp rocks. Ac
cording to the statements of passengers
who have arrived here, there was much
alarm when tha Sheridan's eteam p.pe
burst after the vessel stranded. 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. He
is confident that the vessel can be saved.
He was on deck when the steamer struck.
The int?rislant" steamer Helene arrived
here at 9:-i P. M. with a number of pas
sengers on board from the stranded
transport,' including 20 women and ten
children. Tugs have moved the vessel
considerably, and it is believed she will
be pulled off during the night
The failure to pull the Sheridan from
the reef has been due to the almost im
mediate parting of the lines attached to
the Manning and the Claudlne. It is
thought that when more power is ap
plied and advantage is taken of the high
tide this afternoon the transport may be
floated.

"Peruna has cured me of catarrb of the head and stomach, and nervous
debility from which I suffered greatly for two year,
"I most heartily recommend Peru d a to all suffering from these diseases.
"Peruna is the best medicine I have ever known."
PERUNA Is not a nervine. It does
not benefit nervous debility by

gives new life to nervous invalids.

as strychnia, qui

digestive derange-
ment or bodily deficiency.
The rational cure for nervousness Is
to correct the condition upon which It
depends.
It is because Peruna does thig very
thing that it has become so popular
for diseases of the nervous system.

Sproule left the service of the Southern
Pacific last night. He will begin his du

His work for the Guggenhelms will serve
only to hold him near the Goulds until

As eoon as the construction of the West

out of the smelter trust and into the
