His Declaration About
Branded as
False.
Segal
Philadelphia Sept. 8.—More aatound
Ing than all the dlmcloturem were the
revelation! today of the Jekyl and
Hyde existence of Prank K. Hippie, the
suicide prealdent of the wrecked Heal
Eatate Truat Company, who, even In
hia dying confeaalon, lied when he
wrote "Segal got all the money."
Hippie atole million! from the bank
before he met Adolph Segal, the pro
motor of wild cat achemea, and the In
veatlgatlon today haa unearthed for
gertea by Hippie for more than a quar
ter of a million dollars and the end la
not yet.
« Forpad Many Names.
Only a portion of the maas of docu
ments In Hippie’s private safe In the
vault of the company have been ex
amlned, but they show that he had met
hla Immense overdrafts by forging the
names of prominent bualnesa men of
tills city to notes for more than $800.-
000 In some cases.
For live years this had been going
on, and Receiver Earle stated today
that he had no Idea where Hippie’s vil
lainy would end.
“He Was Hypocrite.”
"That man,” he said, "was an arch
conspirator and a hypocrite of the bas.
eat sort. The church, widows and or.
phana, and those associates of hla In
church work were his victims, and
even nls son. In my opinion, was vic
timised In his frenzied attempts to
amass a fortune at the expense of those
»hn put him Hv his position of trust
and honor.
"After clearing up the affairs of this
once magnificent financial Institution,
which this hypocrite wrecked, the
searchllght of Investigation will be
turned upon Hippie's private life, and
what we have already gathered leaves
no doubt In my mind that he will be
found to be us degraded as were his
business methods,"
Directors In Panic.
The directors are In a condition bor
dering on panic today. It Is said their
offers of money to reorganise the com
p.iny are contingent on guarantees of
Immunity from civil and criminal proa

District Attorney Bell, when shown a
w rltten pledge of 'all the directors to
join In putting up $8,000,000, la reported
to have replied:
"Unless these directors make good

1 CENT DIFFERENCE
IN PRICE OF COTTON
FIXED B Y PLANTERS
Southern Cotton Association Says Ten Cents
Is Proper Figure—Farmers’ Union
“Stands Pat” on 11 Cents.
There Is a difference of just one cent In the minimum price of .cot
ton fixed by the executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association.
In session at Hot Springs, Ark., and that flxed by the National Farmers'
Educational and Co-operative Union, which Is meeting at Texarkana, Ark.
The cotton association has declared for 10 cents; the Farmers’ Union
thinks 11 cents Is the proper price.
The executive committee of the cotton association adopted resolu
tions asserting that the cotton crop is In a state of deterioration and that
It will not be as great as the current estimate. The committee urges all
producers of cotton not to sell the staple at a figure leas than the price of
production. Membera of the Farmers' Union declare they will stand pat for
11 cents.
10 CENTS FIXED
AS COTTON PRICE
Hot Springs, Ark., Sept. $.—That
no cotton be sold during th* present
year for less than 10 cents a pound,
was the recommendation made by the
executive committee of the Southern
Cotton Aseodatlon, In seselon here.
Resolutions were adopted late yester
day afternoon urging all members of
the' association and producers of the
staple In the South to stick to this
minimum prlee.
The committee made no effort to
estimate the present crop, asserting
that it Is now In a state of deteriora
tion. The members say, however, that
they are satisfied the current estimate
II not be realised, it Is understood
that when the Axing of the minimum
price was considered In executive ses
sion there were those who favored
standing out for 12 cents. The conser
vative element, however, stood for 10
cents and this was adopted.
Resolution* Adopted.
Following this action the committee
prepared resolution* In the shape of an
addrees to the public. These resolu
tions, signed by Walter Clark, chair
man; E. D. Smith, J. A. Brown, J. C.
Hickey and F. A. Maxwell, follow:
"inasmuch as we, the cotton grow
ers of the South, know that'there haa
been great deterioration In the cotton
crop since August 16, and
“Whereas, The consensus of opinion
of the members of this committee Is
that the deterioration Is still going on,
wo deem It unwise to make an esti
mate of the crop at Hit* time. We are
satisfied that the crop will not be as
large a* the current estimate.
Are Urged to Hold.
“We therefore suggest and urge upon
our members and producers
throughout the South not to sell their
cotton at a Agure leas than the cost
of production.
“Owing to the high price of the cost
of living and scarcity of labor, we feel.
In order for the farmer who raises cot
ton to live, feed and clothe himself and
family and set aside a small'pittance
for the improvement of his farm. It Is
necessary that cotton should riot be
sold below the bread and meat line,
which Is 10 cents.
In Axing 10 cents per pound as the
limit below which It should not be
eold, we have no reference to the crop
or any Immediate condition.

We call upon all Southern Interests
to aid In maintaining for all time this

FARMERS’ UNION
WILL STAND PAT
Texarkana, Ark., Sept. 8.—"We will
stick for 11 cents, The deterioration of
the general condition of cotton during
the last two weeks Is sufficient evi
dence to prove that the union has not
placed the price too high.” '
In theae word* President Duck

"There's a Reason"
New* Orleans, Sept. 8,—Dr. Walter
Robertson, assistant surgeon of the
United States marine hospital service,
elalloned at I-acelba, Honduras, had a
narrow escape from lynching at the
hands of the people of that town, and
as a result of his experience Is a nerv
ous wreck.
The Incident resulted In Internation
al correspondence, port of which con
sisted of a message from Washington
to the president of Honduras that
Honduras would be held responsible
for the life of the surgeon.
It all grew out of the surgeon diag
nosing a case of yellow fever at I-ncet-
ha. which had heretofore been Immune.
When the laicelba board of health
declared the casea were not yellow
fever, the Inhabitants became highly
wrought up. Dr. Robertson was at
tacked violently by the local newspa
per;! and received anonymous tellers
threatening him with death.
American Consul Wood was absent
from Lacelba. but Dr. Virgil Reynolds,
the vice coneul, who agreed with Dr.
Robertson’* dlagnosle, determined to
protect the surgeon. He called on the
commandant, but Ucnerul Padilla de
clared he could not guarantee l”r.
Itobertson protection.
Reynolds then organised a guard of
Afty Americans, who took turns In pa
trolling the consulate nlglit and day.
Dr. Robertson was practically a pris
oner In the coneul’* home for two
weeks.

will have to be passed by the legisla
ture before the street con be closed.
Hoke Smith for the Democratic nom
(nation for the presidency?
Is a boom for the Georgia man, who
recently swept the state for governor,
gathering form and substance through
the South and West?
General Louis T. Mlchener, former
attorney general of Indiana, and a Re
publican, believes so. In the New York
Sun of Friday the following dispatch
appears under a Washington date line:
Washington, Sept. 8.—General Louis
T. Mlchener, former attorney general
of Indiana, who has a keen political
scent, expressed the opinion today, af
ter a Journey through the South and
West, that Hoke Smith would probably
become a popular candidate for the
Democratic nomination for president If
he succeeded in winning the governor
ship In Georgia (which he did). Gen
eral Mlchener ie a Republican, but paid
a high compliment to Hoke Smith.
At the Macon convention Colonel
Robert L. Berner, Hoke Smith’s law
partner, started a storm of cheering by
practically placing Mr. Smith forward
as the South’s candidate for the presi
dency, when the time was ripe for this
section to name the man.
Mr. Smlth’a overwhelming victory In
Georgia and hla great Aght on a reform
platform has made him a potential Ag-
ure throughout the union. The testi
mony of General Mlchener Indicates
that Democrats throughout the South
and West are turning their eyes to
ward the governor-elect of the Empiie
State of the South.

The Vim fouled the Carambn nt the start

Commodore Park, owner of tpe Vim, who

He said that his lioat did not have suffi
