POST SAYS u. S. ERRED
IN ADMITTING PONZI

It may be but slight consolation
for the thousands Of persons whose
Nfe-savings totalinE millions OF
dollars have vanished through
Charles Ponzrs operations at Dos
ton. but it has been shown that
strict application of the deportation
laws in his case would have saved
every penny.
IF Ponzi or any other alien was
found guilty Of a crime of moral
turpitude and was sentenced to
serve a term of one year or more
he was subject to deportation" said
Louis r. Post, Assistant Secretary
Of Labor. here yesterday.
Il know nothing of the facts in
the Ponzi case but l gather from
the newspapers that he was found
guilty Of a crime committed in the
very act Of entering this country
he added IF that is true he should
have been deported before he ever
had a chance to prey upon the citi-
zens of the country for $4,000

tory Of this country for the schools

university in 1904 as an assistant

made an associate professor in 1907,
and since 1909 he has held his pres

New York, Aug. I4-Since the
first OF the year 234 men and los
women have committed suicide in
New York City. OF these two
thirds were between the ages Of
25 and so. Twelve were under q.
The profession leading in number
was the medical Nearly half chose
gas for exit purposes. Six jumped
from upper floors Of tall buildings.
The remainder were about equally
divided between drownings and the
use of revolvers.
For the same period of six
months the number of suicides in
the United States. is put at 2,77I.
Life Insurance officials tell me that
this is a low estimate. on that
basis New York City. with approx
mately fewer than 4 per cent of the
population of the entire country.
furnishes more than per cent of
it's suicides.
Chicago Close second.
Another associated industry now
raging is the morbid epidemic OF
violent deaths in which women
prominently figure. Chicago has
been closely pressing New York for
first place in these shootinGs and
stabbings of the battered triangle
In Chicago in the last few weeks
bullets fired in jealousy have cost
the lives Of two men and three
women, placed an army lieutenant
in the death cell, sullied the good
name of a school girl. made widows
of two women, destroyed four
homes, killed innocent bystanders
and sent a woman to Jail.
New York,s star entry, of course,
was the still unsolved murder of
Joseph Bovine Elwell. the bridge
whist expert. Since this, the great
seaboard metropolis has supplied
four women who opened heavy
firing upon the objects of their af-
fection, a love agreement double
finish. a trunk murder mystery. and
five jealousy killings in the foreign
population quarters. This morning
