PONZI PAYING HIS
MONEY OUT FAST
Many Persons Taking Their Funds to
Rival Get Rich Quick Scheme
Few Blocks Away.

BOSTON, July 20.-The three-day run
on the Golfers of Charles Ponzi by doubt
ing investors in his get-rich scheme of
International postal exchange continued
today, while new believers in the posi-
bility of abnormal profits took their
money to a rival few blocks away.
Ponzi, having agreed with the district
attorney to accept no further deposits
until investigation of his accounts have
been made, stood in his large offices and
saw everything going out with no new
funds coming in, but although payments
in the past two days are estimated to
have exceeded million dollars he was
still honoring every demand.
His rival foreign exchange company
with promise of 80 per cent profit in
d days, was taking all the money pre-
scented with no payments to be made. 1t
was a one-way movement in each in
stance with fairly numerous crowds at
both places.
Meanwhile investigation of the opera
tions of both exchange brokers was under
way; that of PonZi was under a three ply
inquiry.
Attorney General Allen, at the request
Of Governor Coolidge, joined today in the
investigation previously undertaken by
the district attorney and the United
States attorney. Governor Coolidge, in
announcing that he had directed the at
torney general to take action in behalf
of the commonwealth should the evidence
warrant, said the attorney general haC
Informed him that so far nothing hat
developed to indicate that Ponzi had oper
ated in other than legal manner.

The Women Want to
Know.

Among the hundreds of quest
ions t,lat are received by the State
League of Woman Voters at their
Headquarters in Minneapolis the
majority ask for information about
the stands of PARTIES on certain
question, and very large numbers
want to know how the various
candidates for the State Offices
stand upon certain pertinent local
state issues. The idea gained at
League Headquarters is that wom-
en- are going at the business of
voting in the most intelligent way
possible. Before they vote a
party ticket they want to know as
thoroughly as possible what its
platform stands for, and in the
case of individual men they seem
to want to know a good deal more
about the candidates stand than
many of the candidates have pub
licly stated up to date.

townships regardless of the In
dams wishes and this money,
which amounted to approx
imatelv $1,25O,OO0, was paid
70 the Red Lake Indians
alone, although, we contend, there
never was any act of Congress that
became a law authorizing the sale,
owing to the fact that neither the
Indians nor Congress could come
to an agreement regarding the
sale. We have always contended
that all Minnesota Chippewas
should have been beneficiAies in
the sale of this surplus land, as
according to the treaty of 1889 all
surplus lands of the Red Lake
reservation not reserved for allot-
ments were to be sold and the
proceeds 60 TO all the Chippewas
residing in Minnesota. That all
other bands of Chippewas, such as
Leech Lake, Cass Lake, White
Earth, Fond du Lac and all other
who participated in the treaty of
1889 had an interest in the surplus
lands is evident by a glance at the
treaties and agreements made with
them during that time, as in all
these treaties and agreements these
other bands specifically state:
I'VE do hereby cede and relin.
quish to the United States/ all our
right, title and interest IN and to
all and 80 much of the Red Lake
reservation as is not required and
reserved under the provisions of
said act (Act of 1889 to make and
fill alIotments to the Red Lake
Indians in quantity and manner as
therein provided.'' Therefore it
is very evident that these other
bands had an interest IN the Red
Lake reservation or this clause in
all agreements with them which
treated with the sale of this prop
erty would not have been neces-
sary and would certainly not have
appeared therein.
Mr.. Stevenson is very much
interested in his supporters at Red
Lake as that section is a very i'm
portant factor in his proposed Red
Lake Drainage Bill, and cites this
instance of the sale of II town
ships of land of that reservation
and the payment of the money to
the Red Lake Indians alone, as
most noteworthy achievement, but
which was in fact pulled off with.
out the sanction of the Indians,
and, we believe, without any law
ever being enacted authorizing
the sale.
Mr.. Stevenson also stated that
he had never heard Ct any objec-
tions being made by the Chippe
was regarding the payment Of the
proceeds of this sale to the Red
Lake Indians alone, nevertheless
there has been many objections
to the payment of this money to
the Red Lake Indians alone, many
old chiefs of that time repeatedly
asked their Superintendent and
Inspectors in the Indian Service
how this could be done, as they
understood that under the treaty
of 1889 as explained to them by

mission that negotiated with the In

TESTING PIeurisy With Coins.

A novel method Of diagnosing pleur-
isy is described by P. Lereboullet ID
the Paris Medical. The examiner ap'
plies his ear to the patients chest
closing his other ear, while coins are
clinked at the patients back. The
sound of the coins coming through
healthy, normally aerated lung seems
distant and dull, while through an at
fected lung, through solid or homo
geneous tissue clear, silvery, metal
tic ring is heard.
