have a key, so to speak.
'NNe have found that the system begins
at Yokohama. Thence it leads to Homo

"Once the Japanese is smuggled into
California he is taken in tow by some
member of the Japanese association,
branches of which are in Oregon and
Washington. He is taken to the bank
and his credit established by substan-
tial deposit.
"Then he goes out into the vineyards
or into the agricultural districts and

this time he can come out of seclusion.

TWO FINED FOR
BREAKING AUTO LAW
j. F. R. Hansen and Walter Stetson
Both of Halifax, in Municipal
Court Yesterday Afternoon.

J. f. r. Hansen of Maplehurst
Lodge, Halifax. was in the municipal
court yesterday afternoon on the charge
of operating an automobile that had
not been registered. He pleaded guilty
and Judge A. f. Cudworth imposed a
fine of So and costs, which Hansen
paid. In a statement to the court
States Attorney E. w. Gibson said
that Hansen bought Winton ear in
Boston and undertook to have it reg
istered. but because of certain informa-
tion which he lacked as to how many
times it had been registered before he
was unable to get it registered He
therefore ran it under number plates
which he took from his Ford car, and
he was coming here to see what he
taken in by Sheriff Frank l.. Wellman
on complaint from Secretary of State
Black. The fine was the amount recon-
mended by the state s attorney, and
the court called Hansen s attention to
the fact that under the statute it
might have been 800.
Walter Stetson of Halifax also was
in court yesterday afternoon, being
summoned by the sheriff on complaint
of the secretary of state. He pleaded
guilty to the charge of operating an
automobile truck without tail light
and paid a fine of So and costs.

DRAFT NEW IRISH BILL.
Provides for Trial without Jury in
IreIand-Gives Police More Power.

, LONDON, Aug. 3.-The cabinet az
yesterday g session is reported to have
virtually completed the new Irish bill.
providing for trial without jury in Ire
land and giving the military and police
wider powers for apprehending sus-
pected persons.
The inability of the government au-
thorities to arrest criminals and obtain
iuries in south and west Ireland caused
the breakdown of the crown courts and
was forcing the government, officials
stated, to resort to the juryless court
system.
The crown will appoint the high jus
tice and other court officials, who will
sit only in Dublin to obviate the pos
.sibility of attack if court sessions were
to be held in remote localities.
The government gave notice today
that it would introduce its bill, which
is expected to be discussed on Thurs
day and passed finally on Friday.

MORE CREDITORS LINE
ZIP At PONZT'S OFFICES
DEMANDING THEIR COIN

Many in line were from other New
England cities where Ponzi had main
tanned branch Offices Managers of some
of these branches had announced that As
hours notice was required before money
could be withdrawn, explaining that the
DELAY was necessary in order that funds
might be obtained from Boston, and in
vestors in many places preferred to take
day off and come to Boston for their
money rather than wait. Most of the
early arrivals were holders of unmatured
notes, according to their own statements.
Federal, state and county officials all
fear that great losses would ensue to per
sons least able to bear them, if insolv-
ency should eventuate, whereas, if Ponzi
stopped payment Immediately, and his
assets were at once conserved, all losses
would fall pro rata.
Yet nobody has yet discovered any
proof that he is violating any law, and
therefore all hesitate. The federal
authorities say that Ponzi has not made
use of the mails to promote his idea, and
therefore the matter is up to the state
and county.
Yesterday Ponzi branded as a ''He" a
statement accredited to Simon Swig by
McMasters that Ponzi had never issued
or received a foreign draft. He denied
there had been friction between him and
District Attorney Pelletier.
MY vouchers do not run consecu-
lively, said Ponzi, commenting on the
statement made by McAIasters that
Ponzi had issued 200 notes a day, be-
tween June and June Is, 500 a day be
tween June Is and July IA, and 900 a
day between July IA and July "a
"MclIasters doesn't know anything
about it. My clerks have been accus-
toned to picking up packages of notes
as they come along. No effort was made
to issue them according to serial mum
bers.
