a bulletin Issued today by the Bureau of

AD0LPH SEGAL, FORMER
FINANCIER, FHEEDFH0M
NORRISTOWN ASYLUM
! - V-
Man Implicated in Big Deals
and Ex-Owner of Hotel Ma- '
jestic Released After
Treatment
HAS BEEN NEAR DEATH
Adolph Segat, prominent a few years ago
as a financier, whose m'nd wafe -wrecked
by the losi of more than $1,000,000, has
been released from the State Hospital for
the Insane at Norrlstown and Is In Phila
delphia teltlng friends. Physicians say
he will be allowed to remain at liberty
as long as h a mind continues to Improve.
Authorities at the hospital say that Segal
Is merely "home on a visit,"' but It Is cus
tomary to release such patients as he and
gte them Into the care of friends as long
as they are not "boisterous."
Segal has shown remarkable Improve
ment since he entered the Institution more
than two years ago. Then he was believed
to be In a dying condition. Intense worry
over his financial affairs, which Involved
the suicide of Frank IC Hippie, president
of the Real Estate Trust Company, to
which Segal owed $8,000,000, so affected his
mind that physicians said he neer would
recover. Two physicians pronounced him
Insane, and members of his family obtained
papers from Magistrate Call committing
him to the Norrlstown asylum. They took
htm on an automobile ride, which ended
there.
It Is believed that Segal Is now penni
less. At the time bankruptcy proceedings
were brought against him his assets were
$160 In personal property and a bank ac
count of seventy-six cents, which were pro
tected under the $100 exemption law,
Segal waa sometimes referred to as the
"financial wlsard," or "the past master of
the golden touch," and the hypnotic bor
rower. He rose from the position of a
poor soap 'boiler to the builder of the Hotel
Majestic and the organiser and principal
owner of the Pennsylvania Sugar Hennery.
When he reached this height of his career
Frank K. Hippie committed suicide, reveal
ing that Segal owed his company about
$6,000,000, with no chance of being able
to pay It. Most of the money was In the
sugar refinery, which went bankrupt, Segal
borrowed a half million dollars on the
Majestic Hotel from the Pittsburgh Trust
Company, and later the trust company fore
closed. A
During theTbankruptcy proceedings Segal
was .taken to St. Joseph's Hospital In a
serious condition.
BARRATT STANDS FIRM
ON LICENSE GRANTING
"Matter Treatpd Fairly,1' Says
Judgo of Saloon at GOth St.
and Lansdowno Ave.
Judge Dat-ralt today defended the action
of the License Court, which granted per
mission to Michael J. Durke to open a sa
loon at Sixtieth street and Lansdowne fte
nue, despltn a remonstrance signed by (00
residents of the neighborhood.
"We treated the matter fairly from all
sides and decided to grant the license,"
Judge Darratt said "The remonstrants
may present another petition asking for the
revocation of the license, but I am not In
clined to think that any further considera
tion will bo taken of the matter. The
Llcenso Court usually does not reverse Its
decisions "
Protests against the opening of the saloon
will be expressed next Sunday at a mass
meeting In the Mary SlmpsoVV Memorial
Church, Sixty-first and Jefferson streets. -
Judges Ilarratt and Davis, It la said, wilt,

ing a saloon license to Michael J, Burke,
despite protests which had been micceestul

years.
The Rev, Edgar C. Adamson, pastor of
the Simpson Memorial Church, said the
whole question would be "threshed our at
the mass-meeting.
"I don't know what we can do," he said.
The people hre very Indignant at the ac
tion or the Judges and we may be able to
Phow the saloonkeeper that he Is not wanted
here. I don't believe he will get much
business."

In Lazaro, the world is listening to a voice that will
be recalled in future generations as the great world
tenor. Not only is there no voice of
greater power, but there is no tenor
with such range or control.
