William L Buchanan chairman of
the United States delegation now in
Brazil at the pan American congress
has been chosen chairman of the com
mittee on the Drago doctrine which is
considered the most Important com
mittee of the present conference in
view of the conspicuous place In the
discussions that this subject has taken

tions for guiding the deliberations of
the committee assigned to the consid

closer intercourse
between the states

consequence of the Influence he pos
sesses his advice on such a subject as
the Drago doctrine will it is believed
carry much weight The Drago doc
trine is the principle that no force

lection of debts owed to Its citizens by
citizens of another power Sometimes
it has been termed an expansion of the
Calvo doctrine which was so called in
honor of the Argentine jurist of that

French revolution and was wont to in

he has a ready flow of rhetoric and the
worklngmen are readily Influenced by
his arguments In the douma he had
many clashes with representatives of
the government and once made a
speech denouncing Goremykin when
the latter was premier to his face
At the end of an impassioned de
nunciation of the cabinet he declared
We have one and the same answer
ready for the ministers When will
you find in yourselves enough decency

ia the sessions of the interparliamen
tary union In London has been an
ardent advocate of international arbi 1
jf 3aCl
Oration and his work In this field caused

master the German language Tho
Missouri representative often talks In
congress on the subject of peace and
disarmament
The last time a big naval programme
was up for discussion the president
sent for Mr Bartholdt and talked to
him in his usually forceful manner
When he returned to the capitol Mr
Bartholdt was strongly In favor of the
presidential programme including a
new battleship
Whats that got to do with peace
Bartholdt inquired a colleague
Bartholdt is a profoundly serious
statesman Formerly said he I
was unable to see any connection be
tween peace and a battleship but whilo
at the White House just now I gave the
subject further consideration and on
sober second thought I perceived that
the interests of one will best be sub
served by the other

a handsome man
with a ringing
voice His popu

unbounded and he
had more sway than
any of his fellows

in the parliament

When the reports about the popes re
cent illness reached the public there
began to come to the Vatican sugges

but mistaken friends in various parts
of the world In speaking of these
the pope said to a foreign prelate who
visited him I have been offered the
services of doctors and medicines
from all over the world and the pious
people who sent the offers seem to
think that their doctors and medicines
are infallible I am very thankful and
grateful for the offers but I cannot
persuade myself to take any of the
drugs I am sure there Is enough stuff
to make an International drug store
I cannot possibly think of swallowing
any of the drugs

Er of
the Frenzied
Financier
JOHN C BELL
R
ECENT events in
Ph iladelphia
and Chicago
have shown that the
wrecking of banks
and the robbing of
safe deposit vaults
by men who go
around with burglars
tools masks and re
volvers are not half as
much to be feared as the ruining of
financial institutions by men looked
upon as pillars of society It was the
idea which proved the
Nemesis of Banker Paul O Stensland
of Chicago of Banker Frank K Hippie
and Frenzied Financier Adolph Segal
of Philadelphia and of Banker Frank
Bigelow of Milwaukee The Milwau
kee financier erred through the faults
of his son who plunged into specula
tive schemes and dragged his father
from the path of safe and conservative
finance to that of crime ruin and a
felons cell Hippie and Stensland both
started right and up to certain stages
of their respective careers seem to have
pursued lives of honesty and integrity
Then the temptation to embark in
projects promising big returns came
and they took the unjustifiable risks
involved leaning on the reputations
they had built up as honest and relia
ble men to obtain the support of others
for hazardous enterprises In Hippies
case religion and philanthropy were
used as a cloak to hide doings which
however much softer terms might be
ased were nothing less than swindling
Stensland who fled to Morocco to
escape the consequences of his folly
but even there was sought out and re
manded to the authorities of his coun
try is the son of a poor Norwegian
farmer A few years ago it would
have been said that he deserved great
credit for working himself up to a posi
tion of honor and responsibility in the
community He was a sailor as a
ADOLPH SEGAL
young man and started in business in
Chicago in a small way rising through
energy and thrift But he could not
stand prosperity and his fondness for
big schemes that could not be under
taken without assuming big risks was
his undoing
Hippies case was similar but his
was the strangest of all His was the
case of a good man gone wrong and
led wrong by a man with whom it
might have been supposed a conserva
tive financier a man with a reputation
to maintain would have had nothing
to do District Attorney John C Bell
who is prosecuting the surviving
wreckers of the Real Estate Companj
of Philadelphia declared in court that
he could prove that Hippie Segal and
those cognizant of their doings were
engaged In a conspiracy and that as a
result of their acts more than 3000
000 was abstracted from the institution
for the use of one man This was Se
gal who as a director of the company
put it seemed to have hypnotized the
president Segals career was meteoric
Twenty years ago he was a recent im
migrant from Austria speaking broken
English and working over a boiling
soap caldron in a cellar in a tenement
district The invention of a new proc
ess for waxing paper yielded him 20
000 This gave him a start in business
and his persuasive manner enabled
him to borrow money to any extent de
sired for all kinds of visiouary proj
ects He built a sugar refinery for the
purpose of selling it out to the sugar
trust and succeeded in doing so mak
ing about 1000000 on the deal Later
he tried the same game again but this
time could not sell and got left with
the refinery on his hands It is said he
once overdrew his account at Hippies
bank 140000 but Hippie being inex
tricably involved in Segals schemes
had to honor the check After Hippies
suicide his family found a hastily
scribbled note which read No one to
blame but myself Segal got all the
money I was fooled into lending it to
him thinking his business good The
dead bank president was a plodding
lawyer for years and his reputation
for integrity and safe methods led him
to be made the custodian of many
trust funds including those of church
es and charitable institutions Out
wardly he was so highly moral that
nobody suspected mm capame or uo
ing a wrong thing and when his fall
came it carried misfortune to many In
nocent persons with it
