A, statement given out by Hose fc
I'nskua, says In part:
"Tho action taken today Is n friendly
proceeding In equity, and Is for the pur
pose of conserving- the assets of tho com
pany, and to enable the continuance if
the1 company. The papers Wed today
show that, exclusive of real estate, tho
other assets of the compnuj, on March 31,
1015, t.mount to moro than double the
total liabilities
"The company had to meet adverse con
ditions during tho past year, which were
heyond their control. It wai not only
affected by the general depression of busi
ness, but wan seriously handicapped by
tho failure of the Slcgel enterprises, owing
to the act that the Siegcl name was In
cluded In the corporate nopin of tho com
pany, and this caused a general Impres
sion on tho part of the public that tho
enterprises were connected. This was
especially evident by tho run of disturbed
depositors of the hank which was con
ducted In the Greenhut store At the
tlmo of tho Slegel failure the bank con
ducted by the Slegel store had about
GO.O00 depositors, practically all being cus
tomers of the stdre. Under the circum
stances It waif necessary for Captain
Greenhut to finance tho raising of largo
sums df mc,hey In order to enable the
bank to ptay every depositor In full on
demandsInasmuch as the securities of the
oanKCould not be marketed speedily,
'owtflff td the general business depression.
.Ab the result of his efforts, every deposi
tor or trie bank had been paid 4t-Xull.

STATE AGAIN SCORES
POINT IN CLAY TRIAL
Court Admits as Evidence Pro
posals for Work Done by
Wiggins.
The second victory of tho Common
wealth In the trial Of Henry Clay, former
Director of Public Safety, and John It
Wiggins and Wlllard It. Walls, con
tractors, was scored today, when Judge
Ferguson overruled objections of counsel
for the defenso nnd ndmltted as cvldenco
proposals for the work dono by Wiggins
in the olllce of tho City Treasurer. A
long technical argument on tho point be
tween Jooeph A. Tnulnne, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, and Congressman George
H. Graham, for the defene. preceded tho
ruling.
Prior to the opening of rourt today Mr.
Graham asserted that Walter Hopper,
former chief clerk In tho olllce of the
Dliector of Fublle Safety, did not stultify
himself by his testimony yesterday, as
hail hern declared. Hopper yesterday
failed to identify ,tip, signature to a lettor
ns that of former Director Clay.
Mr. Taulnne lend tho record of the first
trial, purporting to show that Hopper
Mon tilled the signature then. According
to Mr. Graham this was a mistake on tho
port of the Assistant District Attorney,
as the letter offered yesterday was no:
the samo as that produced at the first
trial.
Hose MoskowlU, a pretty 19-year-old
prospective bride, was disappointed today
when the doctors at Mt. Slnal Hospital
informed her that she would recover from
tho effects of swallowing n quantity of
poison In tho hope of killing herself. Ac
cording to the police tho young woman
went to her loom nt tho home of her
parents, R2S Morris street, last night and
dinnk the poison rather than marry
Harry Snyder, of 1700 South 6th sttcet,
although a mnrrlago llccnso was Issued
to tho couple at City Hall on Wednesday.
Through lips charred with the poison
she took, tho girl said she was sorry she
had not been successful In forestalling an
event In which sho had little Interest.
Her sisters told the police they believed
Hose had becomo engaged to Snyder out
of pliiue. but that when the tlmo came to
procuro the license for tho ceremony sho
underwent a. change of heart, t'nwllllng
either to break her promlso to Snyder or
try to effect n reconciliation with a
former admirer they arc Inclined to think
she decided to die.
The girl's family was seated at tho din
ner table last night and Roso suddenly
left the room. A short tlmo later groans
were heard in her room. When her sister
and brother rushed to the second floor
thev found tho young woman writhing in
pain on the floor. Nearby lay a bottle
that had contained poison. A patrol,
which was hnstllv summoned, brought her
to the operating table In time to offset
tho effects of tho poison.

Hopper was on tho witness stnhd acaln
today, lie Identified the papers produced
by Tntilano referrhiR to the work in the
City Treasurer's ofilcc and In tho cor
ridor outside Councils' Chambers on the
fourth floor of City Hall No reference
to this work was made at the first ti Int.
Two days nco Mr. T.iulane scored his
first victory of tho second trial, by hav
ing ndmltted as evidence the contract
for this work, despite objections by Mr.
Graham. It was not clcir ut that time,
however, that full delalln of tho work
would be admitted.
JudEo Ferguson showed solicitude for
the Jury when court opened today
"Did you gentlemen spend a comfortable
night?" ho asked.
Tho foreman replied in the affirmative.
Tho new contract brought Into tho ease
by Mr. Taulnne mnv serve to offset tho
undoubted advantage gained by the de
fense, wnen tno court ruled out ovidenm
relating to former City Architect Carl B.
Zilenzlger. Tho latter again wns In court
touay.
GIIiFILLAN ADVISES CLAY.
Mr. Clay beckoned for Joseph Gllllllan,
former Sheriff, one of the three attorneys
for tho defense, today, nnd held a short
Ibtit animated conference with him. This
Is tho first tlmo the former Director has
sought to confer with his attorneys In tho
courtroom.
Mr. Zllenzlser also took occasion to'day
for tho first tlmo to confer with the at
torney for the defense. Ho left his seat
well back in the courtroom and walked up
to the counsel table.
Much of tho testimony of Hopper again
today was of a naturo to nbsoho Clay
from connection with letters sent out
from tha Director's ofllce. Ho again
failed In several Instnnces to Identify sig
natures of Clay as genuine. Under cross
examination tho witness said tho signa
tures might havo been mado with a rub
ber stamp. The contention of tho de
fense is that Clay passed many letters in
this way In tho ordinary course of tho
office routine, and thus had no knowledge
of their contents.
Mr. Taula- e scored In a quick passage
with Mr. Graham Just beforo adjourn
ment. Hopper, tho witness, wns being-
questioned ny the Assistant District At
torney ns to when ho first knew of bulle
tins attached to specifications for one of
the buildlngB. Mr. Graham suddenly ob
jected. "This Is Just a Jumblo of words," he
said, "put together without meaning or
relevancy."
"Well, ir It Is Jutt a Jumblo or words,"
said Mr Taulane, "it cannot do you any
harm, and why do you object to It?"
Everybody chuckled.
Interest In the Greater Chamber of
Commerce campaign, which hn already
brought In 219S members since the work
wns begun Tuesday, centered today on
tho action of the Clearing House Commit
tee, which will decide whether 43 Phila
delphia banks, nil members of the Clenr
ing House Association, will take out
memberships. The 12 banks will be
counted upon for a number of plural
memberships from each, and unless somo

eral occasions with Itusslans vjho live In
the vicinity of his farm and she ndvanecd
tho theory that tho shooting was tho
result of a. war altercation.
Gottschatk, with difficulty, told to
neighbors tho story of the assault.
Tho old man was awakened by a noire
ns of some ono tapping on a window, but
Htinnnstnir It was n trick of Imagination,
duo to a nervous condition, he lay back
In his bed. A minute later his door wai

a man stood over him, pushed a revolver
against his breast and fired The nged
farmer sank back on his pillow and heard
tho retreating footsteps of his would-bo

COTTSCHALK'S ACCUSATION.
Tho man who shot him wan Frecsc,
Gottschalk said, and ho declared tho
shooting was tho result of n plot on tho
part of his wife and his former employe
to make away with him nnd dlvldo his

Tho woman aroused her husband, who

met them nt the door, and In reply to
their question, said:
"Ves, there Is a man named Frecsc
here. He's right In the dining room."
Thev found him there.

the attempt on Gottschalk's life, but the
woman snld a few minutes later that she
mlKht havo expected such a tragedy, be
cause her husband was "hot-headed" nnd

his neighbors over the war.
Mrs. Gottschalk accompanied Freeso to
tho Detective Bureau, whero both told
the samo story.
They said Gottschalk purchased tho
farm II yenrs ago, and went with his wife
to live there. Presently, however, Mrs
Gottschalk sickened of farm life, and at
last, several years ago. It became unbear

with her husband's consent. Since that

It Isn't necessary to use water In order
to learn how to swim. William Ottlngor
claims that It can be learned by mall, or
even hy the card Index Byatem, From
the top of a box near Kensington ave
nue nnd York street he lectured on the
benefits of the aquatic art, and Illustrated
the various strokes by lying on his
stomach. He attracted a big crowd, and
many applauded him vigorously as he
swam.
When some one criticised his style, Ot
tlnger declared that he was one time the
"heavyweight" swimming champion of
Australia. Then he offered to swim any
one In the crowd. Again he flopped on
the box and showed the trudgeon stroke
with which he won many aquatlo events
'In the Antipodes.
Ottlnger was making great speed, when
he received a resounding whack with a
club. It was In the hand of Policeman
Hoffman, who requested an explanation.
The lecturer gave the time-worn plea
about the right of free speech, but the
poUceman contended that it didn't Include
thr right to block traffic.
"Why, my taut enoum oe indorsed by
the Board of Health,'' declared Ottlnger,
"for I'm telling the people how to wm
and keep clean." The cop then convinced
Ottlnger that he was inconsistent and ex
pressed the belief that the swimmer
hadn't had a, swim himself lor some time.
Ottlnger attempted to repeat his address
before Magistrate Glnn at the Fourth
and York streets station.
"The glory Qt the water," he declared,
but at that point the Magistrate said he
dtdat believe the speaker was very fa
uuljar with hla subject and eutilin to

Although tho association's bulletin at
tacks Governor Brumbaugh, his support

Is given to a denunciation of tho Itev.
William P. Nicholson and his co-workers,
asserting that they aro only thinking of
tho collections "which will go to them
for their services nnd will enrich the
coffers of tho pulpiteers," and remarking
that ono of tho songs sung nt tho tnber
nacle, "I Caro Not for Itlchcs, Neither
Silver Nor Gold," 1b a mockery or true
religion.
In speaking of the attack mado by the
liquor Interests, tho Rev. Dr. Nicholson
said this nfternoon:
"Thero ls no surer sign that wo have
hurt that boozo gang than this attack
When people don't light back It Is a
pretty suro sign that they are not being
harmed very much, but a thing llko this
Is positive evidence that wo havo them
scarer and on the run."
"We'll give them another good blow to
morrow with tho nntl-booze celebration,"
he added,
At tho revival service, held this after
noon In tho First Baptist Church of dies
ter, tho evangelist delivered ono or his
new sermons, "How to be Filled With
the Holy Spirit."
"There ato four elementary trutha I
want to bring home to you this after
noon," ho said In his opening address.
"First, that It Is possible to bo filled with
tho Holy Spirit, that It Is possible to bo
tilled with It on tho threshold of a new
llfo In Christianity, that It Is possible
to realize this suddenly, and that It Is
possible for us to know definitely when
we are filled with the Holy Spirit.
"Now there Is one thing that you musi
understand to start with," he continued,
"nameley, that you must put yourselves
in accord with God beforo you can fauc
ceede in realizing any of these. If the
pencil In your hand did not submit to
your will, If the automobile did not re
spond to tho steering gear, of what use
would they be? And what use ore you
to God it you refuse to heed Ills wora
and live and act as you know you Ought
to?"
Mr. Nicholson preached at the "quiet
hour" service in the First Baptist Church
this afternoon on "How We May Be
Filled With the Holy Spirit." He an
nounced that delegations from Colltngs
wood, N. J., and trall-hltters and ushers
ot the "Billy" Sunday tabernacle meet

He also announced that tomorrow
