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. Not a Dissenting Voice Heard in Meeting.

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.
