ITALIAN WIZARD LOCKED UP
Surrendered to Authorities by His
Bondsman-His Victims Are Said

Conservative Bankers.

Boston, Aug. 14.-Charles S. Bright
well, president. and Raymond Meyers
and Charles c. Meyers, described as
secretary and manager respectively OF
the Old Colony Foreign Exchange
company, were arrested charged with
conspiracy to defraud as result OF
the investigation of sensational finan-
cial methods which started with the
Inquiry into operations of the Securi-
ties Exchange company of which
Charles Ponzi was the leading figure.
The Old Colony Foreign Exchange
company recently began business with
Offices in this city and branches in
many parts of New England. 1t fol-
lowed the lead of Ponzf in promising
unusual returns on notes, the offer in
this case being 100 per cent in six
months
Ponzi, who was arrested by federal
authorities charged with using the
mails in a scheme to defraud and
later was taken into custody by state
authorities and released on bail, was
surrendered by his bondsman, Morris
Rudnick Rudnick had given bonds
of $4,000 in the federal action and
$4,000 in the state court. PonZi was
turned over TO the custody of United
States Marshal Duane and later taken
to Jail.
Patrons of the Old Colony Foreign
Exchange company, which offered 100
per cent interest in six months on
notes and which has continued in OPP
Grafton during investigation of PonZI'S
affairs, started a run on the COM

their money back and a few who
wanted to invest were requested to
leave their names and addresses and
were told that they would be notified
when the company would receive fur
Their subscriptions or would be ready
to refund
Washington, Aug. 14.-An amazing
feature of the operations Of Charles

that among his victims are numbered

U. S. STAND ON POLAND
America Friendly With Poles, but
for Peace First.
Washington Hopes Russians viii Set
Up Government Representing Their
Free Will and Purpose.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE Ameri-
can governments position on the Rus
sian-Polish situation was outlined in
a note to the Italian government, adj
dressed to Baron Camille Romano
Avezzanan, Italian ambassador to the
United States, which in part follows:
"ThiS government believes In a
united. free and autonomous Polish
state and the people of the United
States are earnestly sOlicitous for the
maintenance of Poland's political in
dependence and territorial integrity.
From this attitude we will not de-
part, and the policy Of this govern
ment will be directed to the employ
ment of all available means to rem
der It effectual.
"The government therefore takes no
exception to the effort apparently be-
ing made in some quarters to arrange
an armistice between Poland and Rus
STA, but it would not, at least for the
present, participate in any plan for
the expansion of the armistice nego-
tiations into a general European con-
ference, which would, in all PROBABLE
ity, involve two results from both OF
which this country strongly recoils,
viz.-the recognition of the bolshevik
regime and a settlement of Russian
problems almost inevitably upon the
basis of ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Russia.
Without any desire to interfere in
the internal affairs of the Russian
people, or to suggest what kind of
government they should have, the gov
eminent of the United States does ex-
press the hope that they soon will find
way to set up a government repre-
senting their free will and purpose.
when that time comes the United
States will consider the measures of
practical assistance which can be
taken to promote the restoration of
Russia, provided Russia has not taken
itself wholly out of the pale Of the
friendly interest of other nations by
