BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 14.-The Pol
ish Industrial association, private
bank, was seized and closed by State
Bank Commissioner Joseph c. Allen
today. Investigation disclosed, Allen
said, many bad and doubtful loans. He
believed very little cash was left.
The Polish bank is the second to
be wrecked in the Ponzi collapse. The
first was the Hanover Trust company,
which was closed a few days ago.
Henry Chmielinski is president of both
institutions. It was through his OPP
Ierations i,s the Polish Industrial ASSOC

Additional arrests were made today.
Samuel Zorn, another official of the
Old Colony company, was charged
with larceny of $780, He could not
furnish the $4,000 bail.
James R. King, manager of the Pro
vidence Office of the company, and
Arthur Thompson, an assistant, were
arrested in Rhode Island.
Charles Ponzi, acclaimed as finan.
cial genius, a week ago, today could
not find friend to go on his bond.

never talked in terms less than mil

which to obtain his freedom pending
trial
Ponzi spent last night in Jail. 1t
was no new experience for him. He
was behind the bars for twenty
months in a Montreal prison and spent
two years more at Atlanta federal pen
itentiary.
His arrest followed withdrawal of
the security placed by bondmen In
case Ponzi should raise sufficient mon
ey to meet his bail, he would face i'm
mediate rearrest on an additional
charge of larcency and additional
large sum would be required for Sc
curity.
Ponzi's wife did not know he was
in jail. When he left his home he
told her he was going out of town for
the week end.
The latest statement of the financial
condition of the new victim of the
Ponzi bubble showed it had deposits
of $352,0O0. The capital was s13,775.
Drastic measures to recover as much
as possible of the millions entrusted
to Ponzi by the public were forecast
today in statements that officials are
searching for money alleged to have
been "salted away" by Ponzi. 1t also
was reported that he had transferred
some of his money to Mrs Ponzi

Ponzi's name can be recovered.
