GILLETT CHOSEN
BY CONVENTION
I'onttnnr* from »*«* One.
tent to stand for the nomination tot
lieutenant governor. When the roll
wai counted on the nomination for gov
ernor It v*n found that Olllett had re
ceived 69m votes, while Pardee had
but 233 ft votes. aBMBHgEaHEBM
Eleventh Hour Changes
The convention In many respects wfli
ft remarkable one. While the program
of the organization was faithfully fol.
lowed tn most instances, numerous
changes were made at the last moment,
and candidates whnse chances were
believed to he brightest, lost when the
final test came.
The great white tent In which the
convention was held was not the scene
of nil the struggles for nominations.
Some of the hardest fights of the. day
were made for the justiceships of the
district court of appeals and railroad
commlsloners, and side conventions for
nominations for these offices were con
ducted at variously Appointed .places
about the convention city.
Hyatt's Victory
One of the most Interesting battles
of the day was that for the nomination
of state superintendent of Jubllo In
struction. State Superintendent Kirk
withdrew from the fight for renomlna
tlon, and the place was sought by Ed
ward C. Hyatt of Riverside and Miss
Kate Ames, county superintendent, of
Napa.
i The contest of the young woman for
the place was championed by Aba Ruef,
and he Instructed the San Francisco
delegation to caucus In favor of Miss
Ames. When the nominations for the
office of public instruction had been
made, Ruef took the stand to second
the nomination of Miss Ames. Although
all the votes in the San Francisco dele
gation controlled by Ruef were cast for
Miss Ames, Hyatt was finally selected.
When Mayor' Schmlts arrived at the
convention hall and was escorted to the
platform, there was considerable specu
lation as to whether some changes
might not be made in the program on
account of his presence. But while the
mayor was greeted with hearty cheers
there was not the slightest change In
the program on his account.

DEPOSITORS LOSE
SEVEN MILLIONS
PHILADELPHIA BANK'S FUNDS
GO TO SEGAL
Exposure of Several Officials Prom*
Ised, All of Whom Were but
Dupes of the Real
Culprit
By Associated Press. ■' ,» p/|
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. «.— Rumors
of arrests of directors of the looted Real
Estate Trust company fill the air today.
District Attorney Bell declares In
most emphatic terms that no man will
be spared In the effort to bring to Jus
tice those responilble for the dissipa
tion of the depositors' money.
The statement Is mnde that two dl«
rtetnrs, who are also members of the
bar, have profited to the extent of $760.
000 in the past three years by accepting
fees from Adolph Segal for passing on
securities tendered by him for loans
from the bank aggregating $5,300,000.
Bo far its Is known warrants have
not been Issued for these men, but the
public Is awaiting with breathless In
terest sensational arrests of directors
who stood high in the community be
fore the crash and exposure came.
President Hippie's plaintive cry from
his grave, "Segal got nil," has aroused
the depositors to a high pitch of in
dignation. Lawyers representing many
hundreds of. them are taking an active
part In the Investigation of the affairs
of the trust company and the facts are
coming to light almost hourly revealing
new forms of duplicity on the part of
the men Intrusted with the depositors'
money and the trust funds of large and
small estates. ~- . .
Investigation shows that the looting
of the trust company will cost the Pres
byterians less than 9100,000 and the
leaders of that faith are congratulating
themselves that President Hippie chose
an opportune time for committing sui
cide, as far as -the church is concerned,
the funds and deposits being low at
this time of the year.
Hippie Was Money Mad
Receiver Earle expresses the opinion
that President Hippie was "money
mad" and that there seemed to be no
end to the variety of methods by which
he Juggled with - securities which fell
into his hands and concerning which
he sought to deceive the directors.
"He was not content with stealing
the same bond or stock certificates
once," said Mr. Earle, "but did It sev
eral times over. He would, for in
stance, receive a bond or certificate as
collateral for a loan, the security rep
resenting a safe margin.
"Then if Mr. Segal came along ask
ing for a loan and presenting Insuffi
cient security, Mr. Hippie would take
the good security deposited with a note
of another man and place It with Se
gal's note. -
i "In this manner the directors were
brought tb believe that the second se
curity was collateral • for the loan to
Segal. This sort of .operation was re
peated by Mr. Hippie as often as Mr,
Segal's demands eeemed to render it
necessary." .f, - .
Mr. Earle said that these practices of
Hippie had left the , notes ' and papers
relating to loans in almost Inconceiv
able confusion, lit was established yes
terday that tfhe substitution of bogus
bondß for good .bonds among the trust
securities 'of the Presbyterian general
assembly board was accomplished by
Mr. Hippie through a species of sleight
of hand. ...
He went to the box In the valut con
taining the trust securities In question
on the pretext of cutting coupons in
order to cash them and place the pro
ceeds to the credit of 'the baord. After
the box was opened Hippie informed
the clerk that somebody at the door
wanted to see him for, a moment. The
clerk unsuspectingly left Hippie alone
for this brief Interval. The time was
sufficient to enable him to substitute
two bogus bonds for two good ones,
which he afterward hypothecated for
the benefit of himself or Segal.
Charges Gigantic Conspiracy
The hearing In the cases of Adolph
Segal, William F, North and M, S.
Colllngwood, who were arrested yester
day on charges of aiding in the wreck
ing of the company, was held before
Magistrate Kochersperger today. The
court room was crowded with men well
known in the financial world.
District Attorney Bell, In outlining
his case, said he would prov« that the
accused men with Hippie were engaged
In a gigantic conspiracy to defraud the
company, and that as a result of their
acts more than $5,800,000 had been ab
stracted from the institution and em
bezzled for the use of one man, Adolph
Segal. The active persons in the con
spiracy, he said, were Hippie and
Segal. . . . .■■■■,
The 'passive agents were North and
Colllngwood, he continued, who wick
edly and wrongfully stood by and saw
the others loot the institution and gave
na warning.
Mr. Bell paid the institution had 6200
depositors and the deposits amounted
to 17,000,000.
For the money borrowed by Segal
there is nothing to show but wildcats.
At the conclusion of the hearing the
three prisoners ' were held for trial,
their bail being renewed.
Robert Ghelrsky, cashier of the Trust
company, the tlrst witness, told of fre
uent overdrafts by .either Segal, in
lvidually or as treasurer of one of his
companies or Hippie's. He regularly
took the overdraft cheeks to Hipplo,
who would grow pale,- pace the floor
and then say:
"Welli I guess we will have to pay
this." . •
"These overdrafts," he said, "worried
me and I frequently told North about
It, but he referred me to Hippie.
Sometimes I went to Colllngwood, thq
assistant treasurer, who agreed with
me that the overdrafts were not sound
business.
"He knew what was going on and
often referred to Begat as the 'devil's
dupe. 1 "
Segal Got All Money
The day Hippie killed himself there
was an overdraft of $64,800 standing
against Hippie's name. Colllngwood,
as' soon as lie of .his death,
converted the. overdrafts Into a loan,
thus showing on the honks that Hippie
had not overdrawn his account,
FV Wharton Hippie, son of the suicide
president of the company. Identified the
handwriting on I the paper containing
the confession as his father's. The
confession Is as followst ,
"To the Real Hetate Trust company:
No one Is to blame) but 'myself. Segal
got all the money. I was - fooled )u
lending It to Mm, thinking his business
was good."
When the district attorney com
pleted his case h« asked the magistrate
to ' hold the prisoners for trial in the
same ball as that . made yesterday,
namely, $25,000 for .Segal and $10,000
each for North and Colllngwood.
This was done, - but not before coun
sel for HrttHi hurt made a statement
that Segal would . prove his Innocence
In court. > Counsel aald he had been In.
strtieted by Begat to My that he had
property valuta n. $10,000,000 and that
Ml his d«bti would be paid In full. ;

Kept Wedding Quiet, but When His
Rival Appeared He Claimed
His Wife
Special -, to The Herald,
RED BANK, N. J., Sept. fl.— For ten
years ■ Jim Brown and his wife have
kept their- marriage a secret. When
they -were married In Elizabeth by the
Rev. J. A. Owen on July Jl, 1895, Brown
had a, grocery store in L<ittle Silver and
Miss Llßcle Reed, who became his wife,
was a clerk in a gas company's office
here. . Mlas - Reed's aunt and uncle,
with j whom she lived, shad objected to
Brown's suit, and for that reason they
agreed to. keep the wedding a secret.
The couple have not lived together and
Mrs. Brown, it Is said, has been receiv
ing attentions from others.
Lately there came to Iterl Bank a
summer /boarder, who seemed to take
to Lisale, iand Jim Brown heard of It,
Yesterday he journeyed over from Lit
tle Silver and looked up the summer
boarder. '■ He found him on Main street,
took him by. his collar and said he must
cease his attentions* to "Miss" Llnzle,
The summer boarder wanted to know.
"She is my wife," said the grocsry
inan. ■ '
The village, being gathered about,
gasped. Jim there and then made a
clean breast of the whole affair, lie
produced ths marriage certificate,
which' showed that ha and Ltzsie hurt
been wedded at about the time ths Int.
ter's' uncle and aunt had said It must
never be.
EXPECTS TO LIVE FOREVER
Jersey Doctor Thlnka He H»a Pound
th« "Fountain of Youth" at '- •
' Egg Harbor
Special to Th« Herald.
NEW BRUNSWICK. Sept. J.-Dn
Augustus fjmlth, .the > promoter, of a
longevity scheme, has not grown a year
older In the last flvevor six years, ac
cording to hlsi own statements. He Is
now attracting attention at Egg Har
bor by bathing the Inmates of his sani
tarium there in Union creek, which he
declares to be the river of life. He
asserts that a daily bath in that river
will make his patients live forever, and
that he has discovered the real "foun
tain of youth" for which Ponce de Leon
sought unsuccessfully. He points to
his own age, which he says is 185, .as
evidence of the wonderful powers of
the river.
Six years ago he bad a similar sani
tarium along Lawrence brook, neat
this city. This Is the brook which U
the source of the supply, of drinking
water for the city, and the members o<
the board of health prosecuted the doc
trial-here at that stream. While or
trial here at thta time he swore thai
he was ISS years old. Now he declares
at Egg Harbor that ha is still the same
age that he was then. . '■
The doctor has dammed the stream at
Egg Harbor,, After his patients have
bathed In the water he allows Itto flow
off. Men. in the employ of Joseph
Hrown, a contractor, who Is building a
new bridge over the stream cat' Union
creek, have quit work because the dally
flood washes them from, their floating
platforms, ■ ■
