REPORTED INSANE Continued from Pone t part. I bcllevo his financial .Uwnfall was due to his mental condition I be llovo he has been of unbalanced mind for tho last six jcars. "The Indications or signs of Insanity may have been so slight as not to bo noticed by his friends or family, but I have no doubt that for tho Inst six or seven jears ho has been Insane." Evn yesterday tho decision to move Sir. Scgat to Norrlstown was Kept secret, lierl Segal, lit answer to point blank questions, admitted that his fathor would bo taken to a sanatorium. "My father's mind may be clouded at times," he sold, "but no ono ca n tell when he will recover Ho was said to be at death's door six weeks ago, nnd he la still alive today, lie will be tnoVed to a sanatorium as soon as ho Is strong enough." CALLED HUMAN STEAM ENGINE. Mr. Segal has been l of erred tp in a "human stenm engine," and "the prince of boi towers." The last sobitquot was applied to him last July when ho swore In bankruptcy court that his assets wero 75 cents, although ho was facing lia bilities of nearly $3,000,000. His worst enemy would admit that he had uncanny powers when It camo to financing on a "shoestring." Time after time his opponents breathed a sigh of re lief when Segal met with some reverse (hat seemed aure to crush, him, only to find him In nn Incredibly Bhorl space of tlmo promoting some now project of cvpn greater magnitude than that on which ho lost. Adolph Segal thought In millions In his palmy days. This was shown In his two deals with the Sugar Trust, the first of .which netted him a sum said to havo been more than $1,000,000. Itvaa In his second deal that he overreached hlmsolf and was trapped by ngents of tho trust. This trap caught also Frank K. Hippie, president of tho Real Estate Trust Com pany, nnd Hippie shot himself when his company collapsed, HIPPLE'S DYING REPROACH. In his dead hand was found a note that read ns follows: "I am alone to blame. Segal got the money. I was fooled." Had Segal succeeded In his second at tempt to make money out of tho Susar Trust his profits would have been far greater than tho first. In the first ho got Hippie to finance a sugar factory In Camden. Tho trust was stifling compe tition In those days by buying up all rival factories nnd closing them. Segal figured the trust would buy lits factory, and It did. Ho tried It again, this tlmo building the Pennsylvania sugar refinery at Shackamaxon street wharf. But the trust, bitten once, had been watching him. It learned of his deals with Hip pie; It learned that tho $8,000,000 of funds In the vaults of the truit company had been touched, and It laid the trap. Segal had put too many Irons In the die. While the magnificent sugar plant was building he had conceived tho Idea of a great hotel on tho slto of tho old Elklns mansion at tho northeast corner of Broad street nnd Glrard avenue. The Majestic Hotel was being completed. Segal had boen spending money right and left In a social campaign that ho planned to Insure the success of tho hotel. The cnmpalgn is said to havo cost him $3,000,000. TRAPPED BY SUGAR TRUST Segal needed money, and the trust be came aware of It. Its agent reached. Segal and advanced him more than $1,000,000, but In return It secured con trol of tho Pennsylvania Sugar Refinery. The only hope Segal had of paying the loan waa to operate the factory and lealie on shares of stock or make tho trust company come to terms and buy him out. But when the trust obtained control its Board of Directors voted to close the factory, and nil Segal's efforts to oporata the place were futile. Then can.o the crash. The Real Estate Trust Company went under and Hippie shot himself. George II. Earle, Jr., was made receiver. He learned nf tlm nmt the trust had played and laid his infor mation before the Government authorities at Washington. Segal compromised and escaped punishment. Indictments weie fouid ngainst seveial trust oniclnls by the Government, although no stone nas left unturned In the fight to prevent It. Civil action was taken by Jlr. Karle against the trust nnd It alfo compio mlsed. HIS MARVELOUS CAREER. Mr. Ssal enmo to this country from Austria. Fortune smiled on him nt the start. Ills first venture, it is said, vas to throw dlco with his landlord to see whether ho should pay two years' rent down or nothing for a year, and ho won. Then he began work over a soap caldron In the cellar ot a West Philadelphia house. His flist big Miccess was the perfect ing of a process to wax paper. He sold the patent for $.!0,000. After that he made money In arloua nays. Ho has built soap factories, apartment houses and great operations of dwelling hoiibcs. The Hat tram Apartments. In West Philadel phia, weie built by Mr. Segal, and, al though he was laughed at as a dt earner, th place paid from tho start. In Altoona he built 570 houses nnd lost on tho deal. The Malestle was to be his lorownlng achievement, but the place never came up to hl expectations and this year he lost control of it. Then he was thrown into bankruptcy. His family and phslcjan said It was fear of the ordeal of testifying that sent him a sick man to St. Joseph's Hospital, but In leallty It was the final cullanse of his 'mind. WOUNDS "WHIP" TO AVENGE DEATH OF FLORENCE SCHENCK Alleged Detective, Wh Says, Vanderbilt Groom Offered to Pay for Girl's Murder, Meant to Kill Wilson. NEW YORK. Sent. lSJ-Chnrles H. Wilson, Gwynno Vanderbilt's -.stable manager, whose love affairs havo fur nished gossip for two continents, waa backed tip against a. wall In tho Van derbilt stables nt tho Westchester horse show at White Plains yesterday after noon nnd shot nt five times by Frederick Schultz, said to be a house detective at thu Rltz-Cnrlton Hotel. Wilson escaped v:lth a slight wound In the fool. According to Schultz, Wilson promised him $1000 to take Florence Ro6ser Kchenck, with whom tho famous whip had his best-known nffalr, to San Fran cisco nnd there muidcr her. Miss Schcnck died last January from a broken heart, her frlcndi said. It was after a cotncisatlon of 10 or 13 minutes' dura tion on this subject yesfrdny afternoon that Schultz suddenly pulled a revolver and emptied It at Wilson. Stable men rushed forward and wrenched the reolver from Schultz, while others lifted Wilson to his foot. Sheriff Doyle took charge of Schultz, who began to talk to tho excited crowd around him. Ho declared that ho had avenged tho death of Miss Schenck. whom Wilson cast off. Bcforo ho could talk further he was hustled away to a coll. One of the hlg.i pi Iced Vanderbilt horses, according to witnesses of the at tack, saved Wilson's life. When Schultz opened fire the stable manager leaped be hind one of the animals, laavlng tho ileuth tho alternative of killing tho horse or using for his target that part of Wil son's anatomy that was still In range. This was Wilson's lect, and Schultz mado tho most of his oppoitunlty. Although Schultz denied that ho had intended to harm tho famous whip, but had planned only to scare him, witnesses say that as he was being led away fiom the stables to Jail he shouted back to Wilson: "I meant to kill joti. but I didn't be cause you nre not good enough for that." If the shooting follows, as his assailant asserts, from Wilson's treatment of Flor ence Schenck, It Is tho fouith or fifth fvent hi the aftermath of trouble directly connected with six months In the summer of 11(06. when the whip and the beautiful daughter of Dr. P. S. Schenck, of Nor folk, Va., finished a season nt the London ho: so show with a gay tour of smart set tnfes in that city and Paris. Wilson met Miss Schenck that year, when she was eighteen years old and he was 15. He persuaded her, the girl claim ed, undr promise or marriage, to make a secret trip to Richmond. Vn on which Wilson explained that ho was married, but that as soon as he was free he would make her his wife.
