The promoters Of the Table Rock
reservoir claims that it is possible
to begin construction work this sea-
son and to finish in time to store
the food water of the spring of 1922.
The promoters of the American Falls
reservoir have not said just when
construction work can commence,
but II the contracts can be completed
We believe construction can begin in
the spring OF 1921 and proceed In an
orderly fashion until completed,
which will take several, years. While
construction work is in progress it
will be necessary to rebuild the town
of American Falls on the bench west
of the cataract and there will be
much to do buying out lands that are
to be included in the lake.
The vast amount of construction

The days pass a little more

PONzI RECEIVER
NAMED BY COURT
Assets Estimated at 81, 4,00O, ,00O and
Liabilities Total $1,000. 900,
1t Is Said.

Boston. Mass, Aug. 20. = The
broken fortunes Of Charles Ponzi
and the interests of thousands Of
investors in bis get-rich-Quick
scheme were placed in receivership
by Judge Morton of the federal dis
trict court today. The court ap-
pointed three receivers.
The amount Of assets to be ham
died is uncertain, Ponzi's statement
that they would aggregate $4,000
900 being the only estimate avail
able.
The receivers will be called upon
to adjust claims which already ag-
gregate more than that. The total
claims are likely to run to $1,000
900, according to the estimate of
Edwin L. Pride, who has been max
ing an audit Of Ponzi's liabilities.
These figures include the so per
cent profits promised by Ponzi.
With the probability that settle
ment Of claims will be on the basis
Of actual Investments, the figures
will be pared down by approximate
ly one-third.. The receivers also
will be called upon to decide wheth-
er they will proceed against those
persons to whom Ponzi paid the so
per cent profit before he, stopped
doing business.

AT PRISON FARE
Too Much Bean Soup Leads to Re-

In $4,000 Damage.

Baltimore, Aug. 20.-(By United
Press.) Sixty prisoners in the
Maryland penitentiary, who ex-
pressed their desire for a more
elaborate cuisine by stalking an all
night riot, went back to their cells
today outwardly subdued but in
wardly yearning for table delica-
cies. The prisoners went to war
over the plebean bean, it was
learned today. Their miniature
revolution was the direct result OF
too much bean soup.
The prisoners succeeded in do
ing $4,000 worth of damage be-
fore they were rounded up BY pris-
on guards, city police and firemen.
Shots fired in the air and Justify
welded clubs had no effect ON the
rioters. Only when treated to a
bath from fire hoses did they call
on their revolution.
Several hundred prisoners went
on strike" two days ago for a
greater variety of food. All but 60
had returned to work yesterday.
These were confined in a special
detention building, in which the
demonstration started shortly be-
fore daybreak. Lights were extin-
guished, windows and cots broken
and continued shouting kept up.
Some OF the prisoners broke from
their cells and released the rest.

that certain interests" were en-

the hope the dissatisfaction caused
may be used against the Demo-
cratic party. Cox also believed q

tion. rF
Charges Political Move.
Regarding the closing Of Ameri-
can Woolen Mills plants, he said:
Mills are being closed now in
the face of a sustained demand.
Why is 1t done? First, I'd drive the
price OF woolen down; second, to
reduce the wage scale; and third,
to increase. the cost to the consum-
er by decreased production. There
must be an understanding between
there interests and the senatorial
oligarchy which is now attempting
to elect one Of its members to the
presidency. They are not giving
their millions without some assur-
ance."
In this connection, Cox lodged
the charge against the Republi-
cans that they are seeking a cam
paign fund of $15,000,00
The charge also was made by
Cox at South Bend that big bank
ers were contributing to the Re-

COAL MEN MEET
MINERS TO FIX
ILLINOIS WAGE
viii Make Separate Scale
Boost in Prices i.
Forecast.

Chicago. Aug. 2o.-A conference
Of Illinois coal operators was
scheduled today to discuss the plan
of the operators for a separate
agreement between them and I'LL
nois miners to replace the central
competitive district agreement, reg
ulating the wage scale of miners
since 1881.
Separate agreements will be
made in Indiana, Ohio and western
Pennsylvania, which states COM
prise the district, it was said to-
day by coal trade authorities.
Higher Prices Predicted.
A rise In the price of bituminous
coal and substantial increases in
wages because Of competitive bid
ding among the operators of the
different states for mine labor,
which they said, would result, was
predicted.
AS an explanation Of the call for
today's meeting, the Illinois oper-
ators cited the failure of the Joint
wage scale committee to agree at
its Cleveland meeting, which, they
said, left one-half of the Indiana
mines idle.
Turn Down Big Offers.
Springfield. ILL.,. Aug. 2O.-Coal
operators in central Illinois are to-
day refusing to sell coal At 81 a ton.
Offers Of this amount, which is
81. 80 more than is asked here, are
coming in "a steady stream. the op-
orators said, from the north, espe-
cially Wisconsin, Michigan and
Chicago.
Demand for the output is greater
than can be supplied, but the oper-
ators declare they are rejecting all
excessive offers as bad business" I"
and selling coal at $3.50 a ton.
Expect STEADY Work.
Because of the urgent demand,
the operators this morning were
hopeful of steady work on the part
OF the miners as ordered by Presi-
dent Frank Harrington yesterday.
Reports at hand indicated that all
the mines in this district are work
ing except-seven or efght-rnaf were
closed down yesterday.s
Avert Dangefof Strike.
Washington, Aug, 20. = John L
Lewis. president of the United Mine
Workers of America, telegraphed
President Wilson today that danger
of strike this winter by soft coal
miners in the central competitive
field, was believed to have been
averted as a result Of the confer
| ence of the operators and miners
at Cleveland.
Mr.. Lewis said that while the
i conference of the scale committee
had adjourned, he felt certain that
, differences now existing could be
"harmonized by agreement to be
consummated in the several states
HOpelessly DeadlOcked.
Another message from the oper.
ators' group said the two sides
were "hopelessly deadlocked," be.
cause the presidents proposal te
form a commission to settle the
controversy had been rejected BY
| representatives of the miners.
No specific request that the presi.
dent take further action was made
in the message.
