said tonight he was content to remain
IN Jail, after being arraigned in Federal

bail for the September session of the
court.
Federal Judge Morton announced to-
night that he would appoint receiver
tomorrow to conserve Ponzi's interests.
Crowds in the court room gathered
around PonZl IN an eXOrt to grasp his
hand, and he smiled broadly in appre-
citation.
"All that l ask" he said, ais that |
be given sixty days in the custody of
two guards, and | will be able to meet
all Of my obligations. This morning |
received $5,5OOthrough the mails, which
shows the confidence the public still
reposes in me-" He added that he had
turned the money over to a sheriff.
Ponzls liabilities. as uncovered by
the state Attorney General, totalled
S4,309,874, representing the claims OF
interest promised. The Attorney Gen
eral said his investigation showed the
liabilities of the Old Colony Foreign
Exchange Company, a concern which
ran as rival to Ponzis Securities Ex-
change Company, to be $300,O0O, with
available assets Of $15O,000.
John 5. DonderO, described as q part

Earth Cracks in Kansas
Crevices Twelve Feet Deep and
Three Wide Appear

HUTCHINSON. Kan, Aug. 1o.-Geol-
ogists and scientists of this part Of the
state are displaying much interest in
great cracks in the earth reported to
be appearing in Kiowa County On the
John Marriage ranch crevices twelve
feet deep, half a milo long and some
OF them three feet wide have appeared
recently: Attention to them was at
tracted by the finding of two steers in
one of the crevices. The cattle we're
wedged in, apparently having fallen in
when the earth cracked.
Biologists generally agree that the
cracks are due to hot, dry weather
and the counter effect of the subter-
ranean supply of water. In Meade
County, further west, the undertlow of
water is tapped by many wells.
