Philadelphia, Sept. 7.—Amazing de velopments today In "connection with the deliberate looting of the Real Es- 1 tate Trust Company, led the authorities to believe that President Frank K. Hippie, In his last desperate struggle, conceived the Idea of Insuring Adolph Segal's life and then killing both Segal and himself, after arranging for the ! Insurance to go to the depositors, who had been robbed of 15,000,000. It was learned today that three months ago Hippie tried secretly to have placed on Promoter Segal’s life an Insurance policy for 1100,000. Had he been successful, It Is believed, he would have taken out other policies In other companies. May Sue 8ugar Trust. The scheme failed, however, because i of Hippie's manifest agitation and un certainty as to details. It- Is shown upon investigation' that Segal knew nothing of Hippie's efforts. , District Attorney Bell today was se- I rlously considering bringing criminal prosecutions against the sugar trust In connection with the looting of the | trust company. An efTort also Is to be made to have the Federal authorities I prosecute under the Sherman anti trust law. I It Is alleged that the sugar trust, | by conspiracy, Juggled 51 per cent of I the Shackamaxon Sugar Refining Com pany out of Segal's hands. Segal, It Is said, discovered that the capitalist | to whom he had assigned the stock was I an agent of the Havemeyers, who fur- I nlshed the money. The sugar trust by this loan obtained control of the Shack- nmaxon Sugar Refining Company without the necessity of buying It. Directors Face Arrest. Segal at once retained counsel to devise and carry out a plan to recover the 51 per cent of stock, or falling In that, to force the sale of the other 49 per cent. Matters were at this stage when Hippie killed blmself. Within three days five directors of the trust company are to be arrested, was the declaration made today by Banking Commissioner Backey. They are accused of having attested the false statements of the bank's condl tlon. There Is a report that two of the directors, who are high In their pro fessions as lawyers, have received In the past year $750,000 from Segal as payment for passing favorably upon the securities he offered for big loans.

"I am not willing, however, that gov ernment money shall be enticed away from the locality where It has been de- wslted for the purpose of being used n this way. "Public deposits are made In aid of legitimate business as distinguished from speculation, whatever Its nature.

Grogan, statistician for the United States department of commerce and labor, Is In the city, and Friday morning had many things of excep tionally complimentary nature to say about the government of the Gate City. “In going through the books In the comptroller’s office there were two things which especially caught my at. tent Ion,” said Mr. Grogan. “The first Is the enormous per rent of money ex pended by the city which Is placed In permanent Improvement. For Instance, last year $1,879,198.39 was spent by the city, out of 'which $383,829.03 was put in permanent Improvement. This Is about 20 per cent. The average Is about 8 or 10 per cent, and some cities go for years without making any per manent Improvements at all. The other feature Is the debt, ’ntere are only a few cities In the United States which have so small a debt com pared to the population as Atlanta. Many of .the cities have from three to four times as large a debt per capita.” As to the manner of keeping the books, Mr. Grogan said Atlanta had the finest system In the United States, and that It was the hope of the depart ment of commerce and labor that It would be Installed throughout the states. Mr. Grogan said further that the system put In by J. H. Goldsmith, city comptroller, had been adopted by Chicago. "You can not say anything too good about the way Atlanta’s government Is run," said Mr. Grogan. In conclusion. Mr. Grogan Is a Georgian by birth and claims Atlanta as his home. He Is a young man. not yet 30, and has been exceptionally successful In his government work. the American minister honor him by Intrusting Stensland to his care, the banker would be treated ns an honor ed guest.

REBELS DESTROY Waiting For the Patrol Wagon White Man Stabs Self. IS HELD ON CHARGE * OF HORSE STEALING When Arrested He Tried to Stab Patrolman Mashburn. Angry because he had been arrested for stealing a horse and thwarted in an attempt to stab the officer who had ar rested him, Eber Echols, 46 years* old, cut his throat Friday morning and la In a precarious condition at the Grady Hospital. Only the prompt interfer ence of Officer Mashburn prevented Echols from killing himself at once. Echols' attempt on hls life took place in the store of Nathan Teltlebaum, 290 Butler street, near Harris street, at 8:46 o'clock. Officer Mashburn had ar rested Echols at Harris and Piedmont streets and went to the grocery to tele phone for the patrol wagon. While the officer was using the tele phone he kept but a light hold on hia prisoner. A sudden movement caused him to turn and he found Echols with an open Barlow knife raised In the air and evidently in an attempt to stab his captor. Mashburn grasped his prisoner by the arm, but could not prevent hls bringing down the knife and slashing hls own throat. After a moments struggle tho officer succeeded in plac ing handcuffs on the wrists of the pris oner, who fought until half unconscious from loss of blood. Echols was ruHhed to the Grady Hospital, where it was stated inter in the day that he might recover. A wound three Inches long and very deep was made by the knife, which waa sharpened to a razorlike keenness. Echols Is accused of stealing a horse from a negro named Henry Watts, who lives at Tenth and Jackson streets. The officers state that Echols stole the horse and sold it to n inan at East Point, Ga. This took place about three weeks ago and though the police de partment lias been watching for Echols ie was not seen until today, when Of ficer Mashburn found him with two sets of harness in hls possession. According to one witness of the at tempt at suicide, Echols stated thut he had money to pay for the horse. "That's all right," said the officer, 'you can settle that at the police sta- lon after you are locked up." "I don’t see how I’m going to get my money if I'm locked up," said Echols. Then he drew the knife and slashed at hls throat. On the police department record* Echols Is registered ns J. B. Echols, though a cousin who keeps a livery sta ble near Decatur street says the right name Is Eber. He has been living at 10 Corley street, but his home Is In the . country near Chastain Town* If Echols recovered from hls attempt at suicide , he will be transferred from the hos pital to the police station and tried on the charge of horse stealing.
