Kissel, long pi-ominent as a Wall
5Street broker and f(.>r many years in-
tiuiatelv ideniitied with iniportani
financial interests, died early today at
his home after an illness ?xceeding
more than a iiKnuh.
(instave Kissel came into the spot
light of publicity ihrongh the acquisi
tion by the American Sugar Refilling
Camiianv of the Pennsylvania Sugar
Refining Comiiany of PhiladeUihia.
,\lr. Kissel, with the i»resident and six
directors of the .American Sugar He-
tining (’omi)any. known as the sugar
trust, were indicted by the federal
giand jur.v in .\ew York on .Inly 12,
I!♦();*, on a charge of conspiracy in re
straint of trade.
Adolph Segal, who a short time be
fore liad sold a sugar refinery in ('ani-
den. X. .1., to the sugar trust, had ,iust
completed a new $12,000.000 retiner.\ at
Philadelphia and - announced that he
wotild fight the American Comjiany.
Segal, who had become involved in
real estate transactions, was in need
of money and had applieii to various
banks for assistance, offering as c(»l-
lateral stock in the new refinery.
'I'he government alleged that the
sugar trust eniiiloyed Kissel as a bro
ker to offer financial relief to Segal.
Kissel, according to the indictment,
offered to lend Segal $:>,-r>0,000 i>n the
security of 2(>.00(l shares of the ;>(),0u0
shares of his new refinery. S‘gal ac-
(epted the loan. The government
alleged that Kissel "deceived Se.gal as
to the source of the money.’
Soon after the loan was made Kis
sel, according to the indictment, turn
ed ovei' the ma.iority stock, which con
stituted a voting trust to the Ameri
can Su.gar Refining (’omjian.N, a new
board of directors was put in and it
was voted not to opetate the Segal
refinery.
The result was that Segal's income
was cut off, he 'Oi!ld not meet the in
terest on his loan and a crash came.

asked the goveiiinieiit that her daii.gli-
ter. who is remarkably intelligent and
well advanced in high slndi‘S be ad
mitted but her iPiiUesi was refused.
Madame (’ui ie now has begun a cam-
])aigii to force the state to accept hei
daughter as a pupil saying that the
education given in givls schools is in-

The insurrectos have abandoned
