TITE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1920 PONZI BOOK AUDIT TO LAST FOUR DAYS Financier Is Confident of Re- suming Business. BANK PLANS ANNOUNCED 1 , Fifty Per Cent of Profits Will Be Paid to Depositors, Avers Man Under Investigation. BOSTON. Mass., July 30. (Special.) Audit of the books of Charles Ponzi by Edwin L. Pride, acting for Daniel J. Gallagher, United States attorney, is expected to be completed in from three to four days Just what this audit will show is problematical. Business has been ' conducted on such a large scale with such a comparatively small force of clerks that it is expected the auditoi will have difficulty in getting at the desired facts. Ponzi calmly said that he feared nothing; that, in fact, he invited the inspection, and declared that the result of the examination would show that he had been doing a legal business. " "I want my position clearly under stood," said Ponzi. "I do not chal lenge or defy the state or government officials. I have volunteered to assist in any examination of my books and will render any co-operation possible In assisting in obtaining speedy re sults." Method Query Is Evaded. "Does that - mean, Mr. Ponzi, that you are prepared to divulge your methods of doing business?" he was asked. "It means that what I propose to show is that my assets are in excess of my outstanding liabilities." Ponzi issued, the following state ment today: "As far as I can see, I will reopen business and resume my operations. I might accept an offer, made yester day, of $10,000,000 from a New York concern to turn over my interest to them. It is a very large concern with extensive connections In this' country and abroad. "An interview with a New York banker in regard to this offer was what prompted me yesterday to dodge my friends, the reporters." When asked if he was still of the same mind in regard to starting a bank which would pay DO per cent of the profits to the depositors, Mr. Ponzi aid: "There is no doubt about it." $1,450,000 Told In Three Days. Ponzi paid out $1,450,000 to de positors in three days this week, ac- coiding to his own figures. On Tues day he paid out $750,000, Wednesday $500,000, Thursday $200,000 and today expected, to pay less than $200,000. There were never more than 25 or 30 persons in line today awaiting the return of their money. Earlier in the week the number amounted to 300. Clarence W. Barron, of Boston news bureau, said today: "The very fact that Ponzi claims to have first $10, 000,000 and now $24,000,000 of per sonal wealth, and his exhibit of $1, 500,000 on deposit in one trust com pany, with declarations that he has many millions more in this country, is absolute proof that the 200 per cent Interest he has promised the depositors wirti his concern does not come wholly from international reply coupons. Deposit Juggling Charged. "Right under the nose of govern ment officers he has been paying United States money to one line of depositors from deposits made by a succeeding line." It was reported today that Worces ter Italians have invested more than $50,000 with Ponzi. Ponct's Lawrence-street office was making ready to resume business, and it was de clared that the withdrawals in Man chester, N. H., where thousands were I invested, have been small. A branch office was opened in Portland, Me., a week ago. With the withdrawal today of Dis trict Attorney Pelletier from the case, the investigation by the officers of Ponzi and his "get rich" scheme was put in the hands of Attorney-General Allen and United States District At torney Gallagher. Ponzi was served! this forenoon with a notice of a hearing next Tuesday in the $1,000,000 suit brought against him by Joseph Daniels, a Hanover street furniture dealer. He was also served with papers in an attachment brought by a former department of justice official against a group of Ponzi's alleged agents. The trustee writ would prohibit Ponzi from pay ing to the alleged agents any money due them. WASHINGTON, July 30. Acting PoBt-master-General Koons today charac terized as "absurd" statements that the postoffice department was losing millions of dollars through the inter national reply coupon transactions of Charles Ponzi of Boston.

King of Washington was the principal speaker at a meet ing of the Jackson club held in the central library last night, at which 150 members of the club were present. His subject was the "League of Na tions." Dr. J. W. Morrow, who re cently returned from the meeting of the national democratic committee at Columbus, O., was also a speaker. Judge King gave an educational and explanatory talk on the impor tance of the league 'of nations ques tion as a campaign issue. He quoted at length from the American Bar as sociation journal, which contained a report from an association committee which favored the league. The judge expressed himself as being of the opinion that the coming campaign would be the most important in Amer ican history, not even excepting the Lincoln campaign, when1 the eman cipation of one class of people was at stake. Today, he declared, the "eman cipation of the entire world" wag to be decided. Dr. Morrow made a detailed report of the work of the national commit tee, which was called in session with Governor Cox at Columbus. He de-i clared that Cox was given a greater ovation at Washington on his recent visit than when President Wilson re turned from Europe.

Elton Watklna presided at the meet ing. In the absence of the regular secretary, G. Y. Harry was elected to serve for the evening. LABOR KEY TO SHORTAGE CXIOX PACIFIC OFFICIAL PORTMXD TO COXFER. IX Vice-President Adams Says if Men Accept Xew Wage, Cars Will Soon Be Available. That the strike situation in the east holds the key to the railroad situ ation throughout the country, was the declaration of H. M. Adams, vice president of the Union Pacific sys tem, in charge of traffic, who ar rived in Portland yesterday. Mr. Adams is on a tour of inspection of the line, and expects to remain here until the middle of next week, con ferring with local officials and study ing traffic problems at this end of the line. "If railway employes accept the wage scale recently announced at Chicago, and go to work along the efficient lines which they are capable of, the railroad situation, will be a long way toward a sortition," Sir. Adams said. "The foundation of the present car shortage and congestion difficulties lies in the fact that the east is flooded with cars and gorged with shipments which have been de layed because of labor difficulties, and as a result the west has been unable to get the cars it needs." Mr. Adams formerly fnade his home in Portland some years ago, when he was a traffic official of the Ore gon-Washington line. He is accom panled on his present trip by Mrs. Adams. H. E. Lounsberry and William Mc- Murray, Oregon-Washington general freight and passenger agents re spectively, went to Spokane to meet Vice-President and Mrs. Adams and accompany them to Portland.

RED ALLANCE RECALLED Propaganda, Bureaus Are Operated in United States, Egypt and India, Says Union Leader. LONDON, July 30. (By the Asso ciated Press.) An official report con cerning the reception Thursday by Premier Lloyd George of a deputation of unionist peers and members of the house of commons to discuss Ireland, shows that the chief spokesmen were the duke of Northumberland and Sir Edward Carson, unionist leader, both of whom emphasized that the Sinn Fein was part of a great world-wide conspiracy In which bolshevism and German revenge were playing an ac tive part, aiming at the destruction of Great Britain. The duke -illuded to an alliance al leged to have been formed early in 1919 between the Sinn Fein and bol shevik! through Dr. Patrick McCar tan, Sinn Fein "ambassador" to the United States, and declared that the Sinn Fein was represented at all the conferences in Russia leading up to the third Internationale and the Sinn Fein programme was identical with that propounded by the third Inter nationale. FropagandiMtM In United States. Sir Edward Carson elaborated his theme of the existence in the United States and other parts of the world of propaganda bureaus representing the discontented people of Egypt, India and Ireland. - ' He argued it was from the time that Frank P. Walsh of the Indian propaganda bureau in Americarcame to Ireland last year that- the Sinn Fein became unmanageable in a con spiracy which would eventually beat the British government." He quoted from speeches of Judge D. F. Cohalan of New York, to sup port his arguments. He referred to the existence of a German propaganda bureau in Zurich to foment Irish dis content and declared Germany never wouia aDanaon her struggle for revenge. He also spoke disdainfully of the principles of self-determina tion being applied to all small na tlons without consideration of the in terests of larger nations. Lloyd George Wanta Remedies. Premier Lloyd-George exDressed disappointment that the deputation had failed to suggest possible reme dies. He agreed there was a bolshev- ist support behind the anti-British activities in Ireland and said he would not be surprised if there also was bolshevlst money. "But," he added. we would make a mistake if we came to the conclusion that the, Sinn Fein is purely a bolshevlst conspiracy against Great Britain." The premier touched on the diffi culty of finding necessary troops and officers for carrying out a military policy in Ireland "under conditions worse and more wearing to men's nerves than the late war." "We are doing our best." he con tinued, "but we want recruits. We want officers to lead and to guide. We want a thousand to put down this conspiracy." Public Opinion Needed. Then, having alluded to the drastic nature of the government's coming bill and the difficulty of seeina: criminals are brought to Justice, he emphasized the necessity of having public opinion behind any effective law.. "That," he said, "you can onlv do by making It clear that this is not your sole remedy or your last word." Mr. Lloyd George contended that there was need for a side-by-side policy for enforcing the law and for a policy of granting Ireland any measure of liberty and self-government consistent with the supremacy and security of the United Kingdom. He emphasized the necessity of get ting the vast mass of British opinion, especially the work on the class, be hind the government's policy, declar ing: "I do not believe you can gov ern Ireland under any other condi tions."

HAT-KILLER IS WANTED GARBAGES DXTMP IXFESTED AS SEVER BEFORE. Animals, Scampering Over Cans at Xight, Even DIstnrb Sleep of Persons Living Xearby. Commissioner Mann, under author ization of the city council, wants the aid of someone who can kill the thou sands of rats that Infest the garbage dump adjacent to the municipal in cinerator. Incinerator Superintendent Helber reported to the council yesterday that more rats now inhabit the dump than ever before. Commissioner Mann visited the gar bage dump yesterday and found the rats bo numerous that beaten paths have been formed, winding from the top of the dump to entrances to the homes of the rodents. Persons living near the dump and employes at the Incinerator say the rats frolic there every night, sleeping in the daytime. At night, scamper ing over empty cans, it is said, they make noise enough to disturb the sleep of people living nearby. Superintendent Helber said the re cent dumping of thousands of rotted watermelons brought joy to the ro dents, for ordinarily there Is little food on the dump, and the rats are kept busy in their search for suste nance, A few years ago Commissioner Mann purchased a virus manufactured in France. This was used in ridding Washington park of rats, being sprinkled on food thrown out for the rodents. The park bureau was unable to purchase this poison last year and Commissioner Man now is making an effort to locate enough of it to rid the dump of rats. Falling this, he will try some other plan.

Aim of Promoters Is to Carry En. terprlo through Without Ask ing State for Assistance. That the formation of drainage dis tricts and consummation of the Sil vies river project ! Harney county will not mean the destruction of birds in that section through the drying up of lakes, is the contention of William Hanley of Burns, chairman of the board of directors of the Harney val ley irrigation district, who arrived in Portland yesterday for a brief busi ness visit. Th carrvlna- out ol Irrigation nlan will mean the formation of ad ditional lakes and will provide addi tional breeding and feeding places tor thousands of game and other birds, he said, and any hardship that will result from drying up the marsh lakes will affect only the guils and scaven ger birds.
