Philadelphia, 8ept. 6.—On warrants
charging embezzlement and making
false return,, sworn out by a deposi
tor of the wrecked Real Estate Trust
Company, Adolph Segal, promoter;
William P. North, treasurer, and M. S.
Colltngwood, assistant treasurer of
the wrecked institution,’ were arrested
today and arraigned before MaglBtrate
Kochersperger at Central police court.
Segal's ball was fixed at 125,000 and
thaj of North and Colllngswood 810,000
each.
At a secret meeting of directors of
the Real Estate Trust Company, which
lasted nearly alt night, a plan of re
organization submitted by Receiver
Earle was practically adopted thla
morning. The plan when promulgated
will effect a complete reorganization
of the company with an entire new set
of employees from the president down:
liquidate every cent of the 87,000,000
indebtedness nnd the doors of the In-'
stitutlon will bo thrown open within
a week.
They Expected Arrest.
The arrest of Segal, the arch pro
moter; Treasurer North and Assistant
Treasurer Colllngwood, In no way
will affect the plans of the new
organization. Segal knew laat night
that he was to be arrested. All along
he felt that the blow would fall. He
waa ready to enter ball in any sum
that is required. North, too, felt that
the arm of the law was after http-
Colllngw'ood was not aware that
warrant was out for his arrest today.
He-was under the Impression that he
would be immune, but that North
would have to suffer.
Auditor is Safe.
Horace Hill, the auditor, who la 75
years old and broken In health, will
not be arrested. District Attorney Ball
says he was merely a figurehead and
a tool used by the looters.
The district attorney In explaining
today how the conspiracy was carried
out, snld:
“Blank notes with Segal'a name at
tached have been discovered and
think that we are on the track of an
explanation of the 82,800,000 difference
In the amounts of loans as given by
books of the bank and In the state
ment of Mr. Segal.
Had Wildcat Schamss.
"Evidently Hippie and Segal were
parties In all the letter’s wildcat
schemes. Hippie, while he was not di
rectly Implicated as a stockholder or
director In the various companies or
ganized with the funds of the com
pany, was represented In each of them
through his son, who was treasurer of
four of the companies.
"Segal’s method of doing business
was to buy up or organize a company
at nn expense of 850,000. He would
then mortgage It for eight or ten times
this amount, Issue bonds and pledge
these as collateral for more money.
"Mr. North appears to have been
the executor of the Htpple-Segal plans
and Colllngwood knew what North
knew.”
8ays He Warned Hippie.
Auditor Horace Illll, who jmesed the
bogus lists of wildcat securities, by
which President Hippie threw millions
Into Promoter Segal's hands, confessed
today that he .warned Hippie a year
ago of Impending ruin and that the
president had promised to reform. He
said he had taken hie word for It, and
had tried to save the suicide.
Logan Bulllt, millionaire coal opera
tor and candidate for congress from
the Fifth district, has served formal
notice upon Receiver Earle that unless
he at once began proceedings to estab
lish the liability of the directors to
pay each depositor In full, he would
begin civil and criminal suits.
Mr. Bulllt said hf Intended to get
every cent of his money back,'and that
he thought that 48 hours waa ample
notice to the receiver.
It now looks like the general assem
bly of the Presbyterian church will
lose a great portion of the 8963,000
trust funds held by this company.

The ordinance which for all time
will assure clean, wholesome meats for
this city, was unanimously passed by
council Tuesday afternoon.
The deplorable conditions and lack
of laws to change them, first brought
to the public notice by The Georgian,
will soon be a thing of the past, os the
ordinance goes Into effect January 1.
Already the exposures have worked
great improvement In the local abat
toirs.
Walter A. Taylor, who has been the
active leader In council agalnet the
filth of the slaughter pen, who Is au
thor of the long and drastic ordinance
and chairman of the special committee
appointed at his Instigation by the city
council, said when asked what would
be the amount of coat to maintain the
regulations:
"If It costs the city 3100,000 a year, It
should be passed. There Is nothing
more Important than the health of the
people, and there Is nothing which af
fects the health of the people more
than the meats they eat. The ordinance
la alike for the benefit of tbe poor and
the rich—every one In the city of At'
lama.”
Cost Not Over $10,000.
It Is estimated that the cost of main
taining Inspectors and carrying out the
ordinance from year to year will not
exceed 310,000 per annum.
The ordinance as passed Tuesday Is,
with a few minor exceptions, the same
as first drafted. The wording was
changed In several places Tuesday by
Alderman James L. Key. The vote
was then taken and not one dissenting
voice was heard.
The first Idea of the conditions exist
ing In the local abattoirs was brought
to the notice of the public several
months ago by The Georgian. This
was followed by an exclusive Interview
from Meat Inspector Wasser, of the
health department. The facts related
In the first article were corroborated.
At that time It was claimed by several
of the members of the board of health
that the statements published were ex
aggerations. President C. F. Benson,
of the board of health, however, was
from the start one of the strongest
advocates of the new regulations, and
for a number of years has attempted
to better the conditions.
Taylor Takes Matter Up.
Councilman Taylor, having heard
that the local meat conditions were
anything but good and seeing the arti
cles In The Georgian, brought the mat
ter before council, asking that, a sps.
clal committee be appointed. After In
vestigating and finding the condition!
even worae than had been stated, he
aent letters to all the large cities where
slaughtering Is done to any extent nnd
In this way combined the good polnta
worked out by long experience with
the local knowledge that could be
gathered on the matter.
Central Abattoir Assured.
The establishment of the central
abattoir, which Is assured by the pas
sage of the ordinance, will be th*
means by which the ordinance may be
carried out to the letter. The central
abattoir will be operated on the co
operative basis, many of the local re
tail dealers being directly Interested
In the project. The plant will cost
1109,000 and In every way be modem
and up-to-dats.
The details of the abattoir have not
as yet been settled. The petition of
W. H. White, Jr., J. L. McLendon and
others to erect the plant on a portion
of the city stockade property has been
referred to the committee on' public
grounds and buildings.

A NEW REGIME
HOLDS THE REINS
Only Storm in Great Hoko
Smith Convention Caused
by 001111 of Appeals.
By JOHN C. REESE.
Georgia has seen her last great po
litical convention.
Tuesday In Macon the death knell
to that ancient and time-honored po
litical machinery was sounded. Thera
were no flowers, no crape, no sorrow
ing mourners.
From this good day forward the peo
ple will run directly, and the scheme*
and "deals” of convention bodies will
be known no more In the Empire state
of the South.
A new regime Is In the saddle. The
disgruntled say that It Is elmply a
new "ring." The man who swept to
unparalleled victory on August 22,
says the people are the rulers now.
To watch that final convention Tuos-
day Impressed the unbiased onlooker
with the certainty that the common
people are running things now, at any
rate.
To the great majority of that body
It was.a new game. The taw old-
timers on hand either took a back *eat.
or else had scampered to the hand
wagon In time to got In the limelight.
To write the accurate story of that
convention ie to begin with Hoke
Smith nnd end with tho snme two
words, filling between with Hoko
Smith. It was a Hoko 8mlth body of
men almost to a unit; It was a Hoke
Smith chairman, olflcerH and execu
tive committee; It wa* a Hoke Smith
platform and a Hoke Smith nominee
for railroad commlsHloner.
And why not? The peoplo had plac
ed overwhelmingly the seol of approval
on him. and to carry out hi* Idea*,
which they Indorsed, tho machinery
for lie consummation belonged to hint
Hotels Overflowed.
Macon hotels filled up early Mondny
evening, nnd belated comers on night
.train* begged the privilege of resting
wearied bodies In office chairs or what
ever might offer a alight resting spot.
Bed* were nt n premium, nnd Tuc*.
day the hundreds of delegates end vis
itors swept the restaurants clean of
edibles early In tho day.
Hot, too. When the weather man
down there turn* on the "caloric"
you've got something coming to you In
the way of real, sizzling heat. Hut no
body growded. Everybody waa In per
fect good humor. Wasn't It n unani
mous thing? Np row*, no contention*!
Everybody Just brothers, as somebody
patly put It.
\V*» vimiHi pmnnrltima rilfl n. rprnr»l-
Wet goods emporiums did a
smashing business, but not nn intoxi-
rnteil man was in evidence, which I*
n tribute to the cleanness nnd sobriety
of the men who earns there from ev
ery part of Georgia.
They came for one purpose—to nom
inate Hoke Smith for governor nnd do
Just what he wanted done.
All forenoon the hotel* were a seeth
ing mass of perspiring men. Limit
collar* prevailed. Delegation* u*ro
busied selecting member* of the state
executive committee, and final confer
ences were being held on the platform.
It took a long time to shape the plat
form to meet th* approval of all con
cerned. As finally adopted much of
the red-hot matter embodied In thu
original draft was shorn away to con
form to the semi-conservative views
of some.
Convention Called to Ordsr,
When Chairman Yeomans rapped the
convention to order promptly nt noon,
the big auditorium was jammed to suf
focation. Th* delegates got as com
fortable as possible by shedding cost*
snd using fan*. The muchly adver
tised electric fane were consplcuou*
by their absence. Some Ice water was
furnished, and ladles at the entrance*
did a land-office business selling lem
onade.
When Temporary Chairman T. W.
Hardwick arose,'he was given nn ova
tion that must have made him tingle
with pleasure. He showed hi* appre
ciation with a ripping speech. He
speaks vehemently nnd emphasize*
with a profusion of gesture. The
weather was not suited for that sort
of exercise, but Congressman Hard
wick didn't let a little thing like heat
worry him. Before he had proceeded
far a tiny rivulet of perspiration wa*
streaming off the point of his chin to
hla shirt front. He didn’t take lime to
ply hi* handkerchief ** a corrective.
Slat* 8lldes Through.
Then the convention got down to
business nnd carried out the slate as
announced. 11. H. Cabanlss, of At
lanta, and Professor E. L. Martin, of
Macon, were unanimously named a*
temporary secretaries, and a little later
were made permanent secretaries. They
were placed In nomination by Murphy
Candler, of DeKalb.
By a unanimous vote the resolution
of R. L. Berner, of Monroe, to place
the alternates on the same footing a*
the regular delegates, was passed. It
would be Impossible to state how many
delegates that gave Sir Smith nn the
floor, a* the number of alternates from
the counties varied.
Secretary Martin placed Judge 3111-
