that his agents has been examining
the bank since last Saturday morn
ing and their reports indicated that it
, had been doing business in an unsafe
manner and that it would be unsafe
and inexpedient to continue.
The doors of the bank were closed
at 1.45 p. M, and notice was posted
saying that "By authority vested in
me by law | have taken possession of
the property and business of the
Hanover Trust Co."
Charles Ponzi was reputed to own
1,565 shares of stock in the Hanover
Trust Co., in which he also deposited
large sums of money in connection
with the securities Exchange Co.
Monday Bank Commissioners Allen
ordered the Hanover Trust Co. to
honor no more checks drawn by
PonZi or his agents against the ac-
count of Lucy Martelli, trustee, in
which name the Ponzi funds had been
deposited. Mr. Allen said his action
was due to the discovery that the
account had been overdrawn.
William S. McNary, vice pres. dent
of the Trust Co. admitted that the
accounts had been slightly overdrawn
but said that the bank was fully pro-
tected. Mr.. Ponzi explained that in
addition to the cash account the
Hanover Trust Co. held his certificate
for deposits of $1,500,000. Mr.. Allen
stated that the certificate of deposit
could not be drawn upon to tid3 over
Ponzi's accounts.

and would issue a statement later.
Reports from Montreal circulated
here were to the effect that Ponzi
under the name of Ponsi, had operat-
ed a financial plan offering lar"e re-
turns in Montreal 13 years ago. At
tention was called also to the records
of penitentiary in that city which
was said to show that man known

SHERBROOKE
BEATS BARTON
in CLOSE GAME
s to 4 Contest Had a Thrill
In Every Inning of
Fast Game

The Barton Fair Grounds were
the scene Of a first class baseball
contest yesterday afternoon when
Sherbrooke nosed out the Barton
town team by 6 to z score. The
game was cleanly played, with con-
sistent, snappy play in the field, and
some good work at the bat by both
teams. The outcome was continually
in doubt even though Sherbrooke
managed to lead through most OF the
game, because the Barton team kept
coming back with lot of fight and
kept the visitors on their toes. A
large crowd viewed the contest ana
were very well pleased.
Previous to the contest, it was ad-
vertised that Culver, the colored
pitcher from Montreal who led Bar
ton to victory over Newport last
week, would again appear on the
mound for Barton. At the opening
Of the contest, i. was announced that
the player had failed to show up. But
.Beor, who took Culver's place, was in
fine form and pitched a good game
Of ball. Not until the end OF the
game did the visitors begin to lean
on his fast ones, and then not for
lone. Sherbrooke assumed the ag-
gressive and kept the lead after the
third inning, though for few min
utes att he end of the seventh the
score was tied. Barton showed lots
of fight, but while she seemed able
to oct men on bases, she couldn't
bring them in. In the first, after one
score had been made, men were left
on second and third. Again in the
eighth, when the score stood to A
against them, thew got three men on
with two out, and left them there.
But when they did hit, they hit hard,
for four of their ten hits were for ex-
ira bases. In the last, with their op-
ponents two runs in the lead Bar
tons three heaviest hitters went out
in one, two, three order on two easy
grounders and a high fly to center
field.
In the field, Beor, with his twelve
of the stars. Dufsis also fielded per-
fectly, gathering in five flies, of
which the first one was about the
prettiest catch ever sen on Bar
ton grounds. Racing from deep CEN
ter he speared Molineaux's hard hit
fly just few inches off the ground
while running at top speed and held
onto it while he slid on his face.
"Berney" Lee also PLAYED his custom
airy consistent game at second, and
he too made a brilliant catch of
high fly from Molineaux's bat in the.
seventh inning. With two other play
ers also playing the fv he ran way
back of second and made faultless
catch in difficult position.
For SherbNoke, Savage was the
particular bright light in the field,
accepting eioht chances with one err
ror, bad throw to first. He played
a fast steady game, and combined
lucky hops on the ball with good
Judgment. Butler was strong at the
bat, with three hits out of four times

of the st. Johnsbury village trustees

tees and the directors of the Com
mercial Club relative to the present
situation at the central fire station.
The directors were received most
courteously by the trustees and the
situation was discussed very frank
ly by both sides.
1t became clear that probably with
in 48 hours, or assuredly before the
end of the week, the municipal fire
force would be fully and efficiently
manned. The trustees also announc-
ed that Deputy Fire Commissioner
Preble of Montpelier had visited st.
Johnsbury Tuesday and after thor
ouqh investigation of the situation

MUNICIPAL
BUILDING FOR
:. ST. JOHNSBURY
Suggestions to Be Made that
the Bullard Property
Might Be Secured

Following the conference Tuesday
night with the village trustees and
directors of the Commercial Club on
the fire situation there was most
profitable discussion as to the advi-
stability of st. Johnsbury securing
the Bullard house on Eastern avenue
for municipal buildir The sug-
gestion was made by one OF the
trustees that the acquisition of this
property would provide for CEN
tral fire station, police headquarters
and a lookup, and offices for the
town and village.
The central fire station is now on
government land and will have to be
moved somewhere whenever the new
Federal building is erected. 1t was
suggested at the conference that the
fire station could be easily moved to
the Rullard lot and stifl be centrally
located in the village. 4
The residence could easily be al
tered for town and village offices.
and the small octagonal building
could be utilized for the police mead
quarters and lookup with minor al
terations. The Commercial Club di-
rectors were informed that the owner
of this property, Mrs. Shapes, would
sell the buildings and land thereon
for municipal buildino at reason
able price.
All present were much interested
in the oposition, and inasmuch as
committee has already been ap-
pointed 70 report on a municinal
I,,1J;,,n nf ho -Jiro nf tho
Commercial Club was asked to see if
it was possible to have this commit
tee make their report at the special
town meeting SATURDAY. afternoon.
This committee consists of S. d. At
wood, Rev. F. B. Richards and
Charles G. Bralev and it is expected
they will be able to make their report
on Saturday afternoon.

A Feature In Camp
(By Richard ID. Howe)

CAMP DEVENS, Mass, Aug. 10
"A heavy rain starting just as the
militia companies were called out to
drill at 7.30 this morning failed to
dampen the spirits of the soldiers
who seemed anxious to get out and
learn as much as possible regarding
armv manoeuvers. The drill schedule
calls for about 7 hours each day of
good stiff work, about four hours in
the morning and about three hours
in the afternoon. The snort time in
which the national guard units are in
camp makes this extended schedule
necessary in order to get in the nre-
scribed amount Of work.
The big event in camp today was
the arrival this forenoon of Earle w.
Davis, "roprietor of Newport's Lake
side Restaurant, who was delegated
to Company LIS barracks to act as
CHEF chef although Bruce Fitzpat
rick remains mess sergeant in charge
of the kitchen. Earle arrived while
the boys were in the field but he was
on hand at the door to receive the
greetings of each and every member
of the outfit Needless to say the
guardsmen were all more than glad
to know that the popular restaurant
man from the border city was on the
job, although every member of the
company will admit that the food so
far has been excellent and even much
better than the men expected. No
man goes away from "mess" hungry.
There is alway splenty for all In
connection with the "mess" there is
one thing that pleases the boys and
that is that Captain Buzzell and
Lieutenairts Emerv and Stevens dine
in the same room with the enlisted
men.
The sick list up to date has been
rather lengthy one although few of
the cases reported have been serious
Sergeant Jimmy Jones' case is prob
ABLY the most serious. Jones has
been i'll with a severe case of grippe
ever since the company left New
port. Up until Tuesday afternoon
he had been in bad condition but
under the expert care of army ply
sicians the popular "Englishman" is
rapidly gainino and expects to be out
on the drill field very soon. James
doesn't have any likino for hanging
around quarters and would rather be
