Ponzi, Taken From Jail,
Reveals Hidden Wealth
Guides Receivers in Roundup
of Assets; Claims Pass
S5.OOO,OOO Mark

BOSTON, Aug. 26.-Charles Ponzi
on leave of absence from the East
Cambridge jail to-day revisited places
familiar to him in his palmy days as
a popular fnancier. His tour was in
connection with the effort of his re-
ceivers to round up what remains of
his property for the benefit of cred
itors. He had given the receivers keys
to the safety deposit boxes which he
used and to-day accompanied them to
inspect the contents and have the val
uables included in the scanty assets
available.
These claims, as presented to the At
torney General, passed the $5,0OO,O0
mark to-day, with a total of S50l4,092
from 12,165 creditors.
AS jaunty in demeanor as in the hey
day of his popularity Ponzi again to-
day attracted crowds in the business
district, and policemen mounted and on
foot patroled Newspaper Row while
the throngs sought glimpse of him.
One of the boxes visited proved a
small mine of gold, $11 ,37O worth of gold
coins or certificates being found there.
The box also contained 100000 German
marks, $4,000 in Liberty bonds aud
papers which the receivers said were
important

Federal Reserve Denies
Industry Is Classified
Report of Essential and Non
essential Ruling Called
Untrue by Governor

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Reports
that the Federal Reserve Board had
attempted to o,classify industry as essen
tial or non-essential were emphatically
denied by Governor Harding. who, in a
statement to-night. declared it was "ad-
herring consistently to the policy" de-
cided upon at the conference of bankers
here last May.
The statement was made. Mr.. Har-
ding said, because of conflicting inter
prctations of the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn with respect to credit.
"The Federal Reserve Board has
never undertaken to classify industry
and business as essential or non essen
tial," the statement said "Further-
more, it does not intend to do so. In
statement published Immediately
after the conference with members of
the Federal advisory council and bank
er directors of the Federal Reserve
banks last May the policies of the
board were fully explained. The board
is convinced that these policies are
wise and salutary and is confident that
results will demonstrate their sound
ness"

Closes the Little Theate,


On account of the sudden illness of
Emily Stevens, who is appearing in
"Foot-Loose" at the Little Theater. the
audience was dismissed last night,
George c. Tyler, the producer, closed
the theater until Monday, when he
hoped Miss Stevens might be able to
continue her work
The actress is said to be suffering
from slight nervous breakdown, due
to to the strain of playing the part Of
sstephanie. the declasse marquise, since
the opening of the play on May 10.
Almost up to the last moment before
curtain time last night Miss Stevens
thought she would be able to take her
part. The theater was we'll filled when
the physician telephoned from the ac-
sress's home, so West Sixty-seventh
Street, that she would not apoear.

Court Permits
The New Haven
To Merge Lines
Judge Mayer Grants Order
Modifying Decree Issued
Against System in 1914
in Sherman Act Suit
To Aid Financing Plan
Arrangements Under WAY
for $l3,5OO,OOO Loan to
Purchase Equipm e IL t

Judge Mayer granted an order yes
terday in the United States District
Court modifying the dissolution decree
of October II, 1914, against the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad.
The decree was the result of the Sher-
man act suit brought against the road
by the government, and the modifca-
tion permits the New Haven to effect
merger or consolidation with the
Harlem River & Port Chester Railroad
Company and the Central New England
Railroad Company, subsidiaries of the
New Haven.
The modification is contingent upon
the New Haven's obtaining the consent
of state and Federal authorities to
the merger plan.
To Facilitate Financing
The consolidation is to be effected to
facilitate the plans for the permanent
financing of the New Haven, it was
said in the argument before Judge
Mayer. The company is arranging for
new loan of $13, 100000 from the gov,
ernment for locomotives and other i'm
provements: To meet this indebted
ness the New Haven expects to take
advantage of the transportation act of
February 2S, 1920, it was said, until in
creased revenue resulting from the
higher freight and passenger rates
should make it independent of such
aid At the end of government control
the road was indebted to the govern
ment to the extent of about S66 900, 900.
The order granted by Judge Mayer
will permit the New Haven to vote
400, 900 shares Of Connecticut Company
stock, which it owns, in favor of plac-
ing mortgage on the property, equip
cut Company, to secure s1O,SS4, 900 in
debentures of the Consolidated Rail-
way Company now outstanding.
The Consolidated Railway Company,
which operated trolleys and other pub
lie utilities in New England. was
merged with the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad-which already
controlled it by ownership of its Sc
curities-on May 81, 1907 On Febru-
sary 2s, 1910, the Connecticut Company
bought such trolley lines in Connecti-
cut as the New Haven owned or leased
The Conn ecticut company is indebted
TO the New Haven TO the amount of
$4,071 ,03S, of which 81 ,OOO,OO is upon
debe ntures and the rest on rotes fC,r for
advances made up to December 81.
1919.
Debentures Ordered Sold
The debentures which the New Haven
WISHES to secure by mortgage on the
property, franchises and equipment of
the Connecticut company mature in
1880, 1854, 1855 and 1856, and, under
the dissolution degree, were ordered to
be sold July I, 1921, by trustees ap-
pointed by the Federal court.
Counsel for the railroad declared
that it was for the best interests of
the company, its stockholders and the
owners of the debentures that the
mortgage be assumed by the Con
necticut company, and that the prop
erty and franchises of the Harl m
River e. Port Chester Railroad Com
pany and the Central New England
Railroad Company be transferred to
the New York, New Haven e. Hartford
