CLOTHING MAKERS ACCUSED OF SPREADING PROPAGANDA
 70 MAINTAIN HIGH PRICES
AUTOMOBILIST FINED SlOO IN POLICE COURT Judge Rachlin Then Remits $50 in Case Against
 Myer Berkowitz.

Myer Berkowitz was fined s1O0 and costs by Acting Judge Irving I. Rach- lin in police court this morning on a charge of reckless driving. Later $50 was remitted. The case was an interesting one with tilts between At torney w. F. Mangan and Prosecutor George Klett. It was argued for over an hour with Mayor O. F. Curtis, Councilman Gorbach and Attorney P. F. McDonough featuring as wit neSseS.
 On Saturday afternoon Berkowitz was driving to Hartford and was at a point near the Leghorn residence on North Stanley street when the ac- cident occurred involving his ma chine and that of MT. Gorbach. Mayor Curtis was riding in Gorbach's car and received a severe shaking up as we'll as two bruised knees. Berkowitz was arrested by Patrolman Joseph Kennedy shortly after the accident occurred.
 In court this morning MT. Gorbach testified that he was driving into the city and was near Allen street when he passed Attorney McDonough' S car, at which time he nodded to the we'll known lawyer. He said he saw the McDonough car standing on the east side of the road facing north and there were two or three cars coming north on the highway, with Berko- witz's car in the rear. He claimed the accused's car was 300 feet away then and in the space of three min- utes had struck him after shooting out from the other cars and at- tempting to cut in without enough
 room. He testified that the mayor was shaken up. His statement of the other car proceeding 300 feet in three minutes with his testimony that the Berkowitz car was going 30 or 35 miles an hour caused a merry laugh in the courtroom and Chief Rawlings pounded for order. Mayor Curtis took the stand. He said he was riding in the front seat on the right hand side with MT. Cor bach He remembered that they passed c. S. Andrews home and he saw the Berkowitz care come out from behind the other cars. He thought there would be a head-on collision but the Ford turned in and struck Gorbach's car on the side. He testified that there was room on the right which Councilman Gorbach might have used but he said he was on the right. Attorney Mangan said: You believe in sticking to your right even if an accident does happen" The The mayor nodded that he did.

CLOSING OF MILLS
 IS ONE INSTANCE
Manufacturers and JObbers Said to Be Guaranteeing Retail Trade Against Any Decline in Market.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Howard E.. Ffgg, special assistant to the attorney general in the enforcement of the Lever law against profitering, charged today that manufacturers and job bers of wearing apparel were at tempting through carefully prepared propaganda ito stampede retailers and the public into renewed ficti- tious demand" for clothing and there by force prices higher.
 Campaign Carefully Planned.
 The department of justice,'' said MT. Figs, 'tis fully advised of the sev- eral phases of this carefully planned campaign and it only remains to fix personal responsibility before apply ing the criminal provisions of the Lever law"
 MT. Figg charged that the manu- lecturers and jobbers were circulating propaganda similar to that used to mulct the public during the recent speculative conditions
 Are Offering Guarantees.
 Manufacturer and jobbers are even going to the length of guaranteeing the retail trade against a declining market MT. F'igg said. He called attention to instances where mills have been closed for the reason, he charged of justifying market condi- tions on the plea of under-produc- tion."
 ''The closing of mills is in turn be- ing used in the price propaganda" {" Mir Figg asserted '"rhe retailer is then being threatened with further curtailment and higher prices if he does not accept goods and order on the present market"

PONZI STILL PAYING
 WORRIED INVESTORS
Says the Only Thing That Can Prevent Will Be
 Writers Cramps.

Boston. Aug. 2.-The securities ex- change company headed by Charles Ponzi. whose alleged operations in foreign exchange are being investi- gated by T.. S. Attorney Daniel Gal lagher and Attorney General Weston Allen of Massachusetts, continued to- day the payment of notes to those in- vestors who presented their claims. The line of claimants awaiting atten- tion was a long one and there was evidence of a sudden renewal of the desire to cash the notes PonZi had is sued.
 While his clerks were meeting these demands. Ponzi issued a statement denying a published article by Will liam Fl. McMasters. his former pub licity agent. in which McMasters as- serted Ponzi was hopelessly insolvent and was paying out money to some depositors at the expense of others.
 ''I have twice as much money as will be needed" said Ponzi. ito meet any obligations that may be presented to me-, and added that McMaster IFS never was in a position to learn his employers financial standing or methods of operating his business"
 Anticipating the demands, Ponzi ordered his office opened earlier than usual and every effort was made to speed up payments. Note holders said they had experienced no diffi- culty in obtaining what was due them.
 Apparently undisturbed by the ever-lengthening line. outside his doors. Ponzi met newspapermen with his usual afflabIe smile.
 The only thing that will keep us from meeting the notes of our in vestors will be writer's cramps" he said. ''I may run out of checkbooks but I shall not run out of money"
 Edwin l.. Pride, who is making an audit of Ponzis books, said that thus far his audit had shown no evil dence of criminality. He added that he was nowhere near done.'

Campaign Headquarters Says
 Party Is Behind Him on League MAKES REPLY TO WHITE
Republican Nominee Has several Inn portant Conferences Today, One Being With Professor Irving Fisher Of Yale University.

Marion. O.. Aug. A claim of complete republican unity behind Sen- ator Harding on the league of nations issue was made in an official state ment issued today by Harding head quarters here.
 Reply to Democrats.
 Chairman White of the democratic national com mittee," the statement said. has undertaken to answer some questions recently addressed to Governor Cox. His statement is chiefly a complaint because both Sen ator Hiram Johnson and former Pres f,' nt Taft have expressed approval oi Senator Harding's position. Ii is easy to understand how such evil dences of republican unity are dis pleasing to Mir. White but it was not anticipated that he would thus early in the campaign make such frank acknowledgement.
 Tn as much as Mir White has thus publicly and handsomely acclaimed that all elements of republicans are approving Senator Harding's attitude it may be added that he had sensed the situation with admirable per spicacity. Republicans of all sections and groups are solidIy in favor of Senator Harding's attitude. This proved by thousands of letters and telegrams from every state. among the numbers from states commonly democratic are no less than amazing. A large percentage are. moreover. from men who describe themselves as having heretofore been democratic.
 Chairman White has made a cor rect discovery that the republican party is completely unified. Repub licans are quite as satisfied in noting the complete accord of the president and the nominee chosen by the demo- cratic party"
 Have Several Conferences.
 Senator Harding held string of conferences today. among those of his appointment list being Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale who discussed curren- cy imitation and other fiscal subjects.
