The last sobriquet was applied to him last July when ho swore in bankruptcy court that hlsvnsets were 75 cents, although ho was facing Ha bllltles of nearly $3,000,000. Ills worst enemy would admit that he had uncanny powers when It came to financing on a "shoestring." Tlmo after tlmo hla opponents breathed n sigh of re lief when Segal met with some rcvcise that seemed sure to crush him, only to find him In an Inciedlbly short space of time promoting some now project of even greater magnitude than that on which ho lost. . , , Adolph Scgnl thought In millions In his palmy days. This was shown In his two dcnli with tho Sugar Trust, the first of which netted him a Bum said to havo been more than J1.COO.000. It was In his second deal that ho overreached himself nnd was trapped by agents of tho trust This trap caught nlso Frank K. Hippie, president of the Itenl Estnto Trust Com pany, nnd Hippie shot himself when his company collapsed. IIIPPLE'S DYING REPROACH. In his dead hand was found a noto that read ns follows: "I am alone to blame. Segal got tho money. I was fooled." ' Had Segal succeeded In his second at tempt to mnko money out of tho Sugar Trust his profits would havo been far greater than tho first. In tho first ho got Hlpplo to finance a sugar factory In Camden. Tho trust was stifling compe tition In thoso days by buying up all rival factories and closing them. Segal figured tho trust would buy his factory, and It did. , IIo tried it again, this time building tho Pennsylvania sugar refinery nt Shackamaxon street wharf. Hut tho trust, bitten once, hnd been watching him. It learned of his denls with Hip pie; It learned that the $3 000,000 of funds In tho vaults of tho trust company had been touched, and It laid the trap. Segal had put too many Irons In the fire. While the magnificent sugar plant was building he had conceived the Idea of a great hotel on tho site of tho old Elklns mansion at tho northeast corner of 13 road street and Glrard avenue. The Majestic Hotel was being completed. Segal had been spending money right and left In a social campaign that ho planned to Insure the success of tho hotel. The campaign Is said to havo cost him $3,000,000. TRAPPED BY SUGAR TRUST Segal needed money, and tho trust be came aware of It. Its agent reached Segal and advanced him mote than $1,000,000, but In return It secured oon trol of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refinery. Tho only hope Segal had of paying the loan was to .operate the factory and reulizo on shares of stock or make the trust company come to terms nnd buy him out. But when the trust obtained contiol Its Uo.ml of Dlicctois voted to closo tho factory, nnd all Segal's cffoits to opuiate thu plaro were futile. Then cnn.o tlio crash. Tho Heal Estate Tuiat Company went under nnd Hlpplo shot hlniitlf. George II. Entle, Jr., was made lecelver. He learned of tho part Hits trust had pHjed und laid his infor mation botoie the Government authorities at Washington. Segal compromised and escaped punishment. Indictments were fouid against toveial trust officials by thf Government, although no stone was left unturned In tho fight to prevent It. Civil action was tnken by Mr. Earlo against tho trust and It also compro mised. HIS MARVELOUS CAREER. Mr. Segal came to this country from Austria. Fortune smiled on him at tlio htart. Ills first vcntuie, It Is sald, was tu thiow dlco with his landlord to see whether ho should pay two ycais' rent down or nothing for n year, and he won. Then he began work over a soap caldron In the cellar of a West Philadelphia house. His first big success was the perfect Ing of a process to wax paper. He sold the patent for $M,000. After that he made money In vnrlous wajs. Ho has built soap factories, apartment houses and great operations of dwelling houses. The Ilnitram Apartments, In West Philadel phia, were built by Mr. Segal, and, al though he was laughed at us a dreamer, tho place paid from tli start. In Altoona ho built CT0 houses and lost on tho deal. The Majestic was to be his tcrownlng achievement, but tho place never came up to his expectations and tills year he lost control of it. Then he was thrown Into bankruptcy. His family and physician said It was fear of the ordeal ot testifying that sent him a sick man to St. Joseph's Hospital, but In le.illty It was the final collapse of his mind.

Wilson escaped with n slight wound In tho foot. According to Schultz, Wilson promised him $1000 to tako Florence Rosser Kchcnck, with whom tho famous whip had lili best-known nffnlr, to San Fran cisco nnd there murder her. Miss Schcnck died last January from a broken heart, her friends said. It was nfter a conversation of 10 or 15 minutes' dura tion on this subject yesterday afternoon that Schultz suddenly pulled a rovolver nnd emptied It at Wilson. Stable men rushed foiward and wrenched tho revolver from Schultz, whllo others lifted Wilson to his feot. Sheriff Doylo took chargo of Schultz, who began to talk to the excited crowd around him. Ho declared that ho had avenged tho death of Miss Schonck, whom Wilson cast off. Beforo he could talk further ho was hustled away to a cell. One of the high priced Vanderbilt horses, according to witnesses of tho at tack, saved Wilson's life. When Schultz opened fire the Btablc manager leaped be hind one of tho animals, leaving tho sleuth the alternative of killing the horso or using for his target that part of Wil son's anatomy that was still In rnnge. This was Wilson's feet, und Schultz mauo the most of his opportunity. Although Schultz denied that he had Intended to harm tho famous whip, but hnd planned only to scare him, witnesses sny that ns he was being led away from the stables to Jail he shouted back to Wilson: "I meant to kill you, but I didn't bo cause you aro not good enough for that." If the shooting follows, ns his assailant asserts, from Wilson's tientment of Flor ence Schcnck, It is the fourtli or fifth event In the aftermath of trouble directly connected with six months In the summer of 1S0C, when the whip and the beautiful daughter of Dr. P. S. Schonck, of Nor folk, Vn., finished a season at tho London horse show with a gay tour of smart set cafes In that city and Paris. Wilson met Miss Schenck that year, when she was eighteen years old and ho was 43. Ho persuaded her, the girl claim ed, inder promise of marriage, to make a secret trip to Richmond, Va on which Wilson explained that he was married, but that as soon ns he was free he would make her his wife.

Suffering constant reverses In Onllcla. and East Poland, to which tho Amtrlans have confined their campaign, forced to abandon Lemberg, driven across tho Illver San, deprived of largo storos of provisions and ammunition sent from Cracow, and virtually denied further German aid, the position of tho dual monarchy Is precarious. Tho Hussions, under Generals Itusrky and Uruslloff, have followed nil their advantages vig orously and, nccordlng to one report, havo invested Przmys! and, according to nnothcr, havo taken this strongly for tified town, thus compelling tho Aus trlans to take a final stand at Cracow on Iho Vistula, not far ffom the German nnd Itusslan border.
