that where thirteen men are consider

posed policies their differences of opin-
Jon must be composed or decided by

A part Of the responsibility to meet
the situation rests upon the state com
missions. Such increases as will be
made in intrastate rates should, II
possible. be made effective September

The report is signed by William D.

ice commission Of Pennsylvania; Royal

While the commission authorized
separate freight rate increases to the
railroads in the four separate terri
tories the increase on freight moving
from one. territory into another will
be 33 la percent.
Creation by the commission on it's

grant this request, saying that 1t had
been opposed by many shippers and
by other carriers in the western

also shows that the rates, generally

side.'ing the whole situation it is our
view that the territory west of the
Colorado common points and the
traffic to and from that territory may
properly be given separate treat

The sur-charge Of fifty percenk on

Ponzi Denies
Insolvency Of
Exchange Firm

Boston, Aug. 2.-The Securities Ex-
change company, headed by Charles
Ponzi, whose alleged operations In
foreign exchange are being invesss-
gated by federal and state authorities,
continued today the payment of notes
to those investors who presented their
claims. The line of claimants was a
long one. Ponzi's prompt return OF
futlus to those who asked for them had
the eject toward the end of last week
of greatly diminishing the number of
claimants but there was evidence to-
day of a sudden renewal of the desire
to cash notes he had issued.
Ponzi issued statement in denial OF
a published article by William M. Nc
Masters, his former publicity agent, in
which McMasters expressed the belief
that Ponzi was hopelessly insolvent
and was paying out money to some de-
positors at the expense of others.
II have twice as much money as
will be needed" said Ponzi, ito meet
any obligations that may be presented
to me-" and added that McMasters
never was in a position to learn his
employers financial standing or meth
DDS of operating his business.

Republicans Boast Solid
Opposition to League In
Statement Issued Today

Marion. Ohio, Aug. "A claim ..
republican harmony behino
Senator Harding on the league of ma
tions issue was made in an official
statement issued today by Harding
headquarters here.
Chairman White Of the democratic
national committee" the statement
said, has undertaken to answer some
questions recently addressed to Gov
ernor Cox. His statement is, chiefly,
a complaint because both Senator Hir-
am johnson and Former President
Taft have expressed approval of SEN
ator Hardings position. It Is easy to
understand how such evidences Of re-
publican unity are displeasing to Mr..
White, but 1t was not anticipated that
he would thus early in the campaign
make such frank acknowledgement.
Says Messages Proof.
"Inasmuch as Mr.. White has thus
publicly and handsomely acclaimed
that all elements of republicans are
approving Senator Harding's attitude,
it may be added that he has sensed
the situation with admirable per-
spicacity. Republicans of all sections
all groups are solidly in favor of Sem
by thousands of letters and kilograms
from every state, among which the
numbers from states commonly demo
cratic are not less than amazing. A
large percentage are, moreover, from
men who describe themselves as ha~
ing heretofore been democrats.
Chairman White has made cor
rect discovery that the republican par
ty is completely unified. Republicans
are quite as satisfied in noting the
complete accord of the president and
the nominee chosen by the democratic
party"
West Is Satisfied"
Among Senator Harding's callers to-
day was Representative C. Hicks of
New York, who has just completed a
trip through the west. He told the
candidate that although there were
some disappointment there over Sena-
tor Jollnsons deefat for the nomina-
ton in Chicago, the people now were
satisfied and that the Harding can
didacy was growing rapidly in
strength.
