SEEK $4,000
PAID BY PONZI
Receivers Take Legal Steps
to Recover From JOS
eph Daniels
MONEY WAS PAID
TO END A SUIT
Ponzi's Expensive Home
and Several Automobiles
Seized To-day

Boston, Aug 27.-The receivers in
bankruptcy of Charles Ponzi, who sky
rocketed into fame as an alleged
maker of millions in international

to day to add to his assets the sum
of $4,000, which he is alleged to have
paid Joseph Daniels in settlement of a
suit by Daniels to establish partner

hundred dollars which started the get
rich quick operator in business.
The receivers action is in the form
of bill in equity TO have Daniels
ordered by the court to turn over to
the receivers the money he had from
Ponzi. They allege that at the time
the settlement was made PoHzi was
insolvent, and that the settlement was
fraudulent and intended to defraud
other creditors. The receivers claim
that Daniels gave no valid considera.
tion for the transfer, and that the
purpose of Ponzi in making the set.
tlement were known to and connived
at by Daniels, who acted and still acts
as a mere agent of Ponzi in receiving
and retaining the money paid him.
1t is further alleged that Daniels
is the owner of large block of shares
in the Daniels and Wilson Furniture
company and If he fails TO return 10
the receivers the money paid him by
Ponzi they ask that the court order
the sale of his stock and apply the
proceeds in settlement of their claim
against him.

junction against Daniels, and an order
of notice was made returnable on
..
The receivers to-day formally seized

New York, Aug Ex-Governor Cox
Democratic presidential nominee, indi'
Gated here to-day that he would make
further exposes" of Republican cam
paign funds within week.
Pausing here for scarcely more tain
an hour. in his way from Pittsburgh
to New Haven, Governor Cox conferred
with party leaders ON the effects of his
speech in Pittsburg last night. at which
he preseted information bearing. on his
charge that Republicans were raising a
Sl5,000,0O0 fund to buy the presi-
dency. Then, just before his train
pulled out, he received newspaper men.
Asked if he would press his charges
further, Mr.. Cox replied:
"Yes. You will have new leads in
week, think"
Referring to an announcement from
Will H. Hays, chairman of the Re
publican national committee that in
dividual campaign contributions would
be restricted to $4,000, Mr.. Cox said:
"Mr. Hays knows that such state
ment isn't true. The methods used by
the Republicans are to get some big
fellow to give $4,000 or $4,000. after
which 10 or "a dummy names are writ
ten down as contributors on the par
tvs books. No one needs to worry
about my not naming the sources of
the funds which | have accused the
Republicans of raising"
Mr.. Cox said that if the Senate com.
mittee investigating campaign funds
really wished him to appear before it
in Chicago he would do so.
The committee he added, now
has the necessary leads. If it wishes 10
investigate, it will call in Republican
state leaders and learn from them who
the country and city leaders are and
thus get all the details. I have every
confidence that the committee will go
to the bottom of my charges.
"A year ago said that the Repub-
licans were going back to the meth.
DDS of Mark Hanna and that they
would be defeated with their own mon.
ey. This still is my belief"
When Governor Cox was asked about
reports concerning Democratic national
finance of year ago, he said.
Il came on board the Democratic
ship July Z. know nothing about
what happened before that time.
"one thing / can tell you, though, is
that | found a deficit but no money"
Representative August Lonnergan of
Connecticut was one of the Demo
cratic leaders who accompanied Cover
nor Cox when his train pulled out at
ll:45 O'Clock.

Only few automobile accidents
were reported this morning to the sec
retary of state. /. M. Locke of Fast
St Johnsbury reported that David
Rivers car was being operated without
a rear light and that his machine ran
into it, A. L. Terrien made more
complete report of the accident in Rich
mond the first of the week. In this
he stated that the person on the bi-
cycle ran into his automobile instead
of his running into the bicycle. Guy
Fisk of Waterbury has made report
of the accident reported earlier in the
week. His report does not agree with
the other report filed.

TWO GOOD MEN.

In all things that make for common interest
the people Of Keokuk have aforetime followed
the injunction Indicated by the phrase, AL Tor
one and one for all;'' and in politics, business
and social relations the interest OF the commun-
ity has ever been foremost in any action TAKEN
On the second of November the voters OF keo-
kuk and Lee county will have another oppor-
tunity of putting to the fore practical demon
stration of their well known loyalty In recog-
milton of ability and worth when they go to the
polls and name their choice for congressman
from the first district and for the man who
should be one of the representatives on the state
railroad commission. The political party which
placed j. O. Boyd, of this city, in nomination
for the Office of railroad commissioner acted
with rare sense of wisdom; no better selection
could have been made, and because keokuk
voters have sense of the eternal fitness of things
it seems certain that Mr.. Boyd will receive
popular endorsement of his home town and
county that will be an emphasis of the degree
of esteem in which he is held as citizen and as
man peculiarly qualified for the work attach
ing to the Office he seeks to fill
Edward w. McManus, candidate for repre-
sentative in congress from this district is the
type of man respected by all who appreciate
ability as Shown in any endeavor OF life He has
proved himself to be a prophet honored in his
own country and in his own home, and is bound
to garner rich harvest of friendly votes cast
by those who think more of home interests than
of personal or party politics.
Should these two citizens be elected to Office
the district and the state may be satifsed in
advance of service that will benefit for they are

FASHIONS IN NAMES.

The vogue OF given names changes from gen.
Ieration to generation and each quadrennial cleo
ton produces new crop which will reveal IN
later years the dates at which the survivors
made their appearance on the planet. Such OF
the Fremont group as remain date back to the
late sixties The Growers and G. C's are now be-
tween twenty eight and thirty six years of age.
There are two or three crops of organs, the eld
est of whom are twenty-four years old. The
Tildens are about forty-four The I. RS and
the W. w s are still in knickerbockers, OF romp-
ers, and in due time doubtless Warren H. S and
James C.'s will look up out of baby carriages
with infantile speculation in their eyes. The
name Grant fixes the decade in which the bear
ers of it were welcomed to the household; but
only rare survivors now remain of the A. J.'s
and T. J. S, the Jacksons and Jeffersons, which
most communities could at one time show. G.
W. is still said to be going strong in certain sec
itions of the country; but probably most of the
babes who are now being given those initials
are named after grandsires OF other kinsmen
who bore them and whose achievements or &C
icumulations were considered of Importance in
the family.
| There seem never to have been many A.
L. s or Lineons as might have been expected
But perhaps the name was too revered by those
who would have chosen it for children The
character of the great president, his unap-
proachabe moral elevation and his martyrdom
invested his name with certain dignity or
sanctity which did not invite it's indiscriminate
use. t"Asg F.. So. fI
One reason why given names are passed down
| in families is because familiar usage seems to
give them certain fitness and makes them go
naturally with the surname 1t often happens
therefore that branches of family so long and
widely separated that they never think of them
selves as kinsfolk or know that their lines run
parallel some generations back still perpetuate
the name borne by some common ancestor whose
existence has been forgotten.
/ If for no other reason than the nature of the
forces that are now opposing him with such
venom, it would be good policy for the state to
return Senator Cummins to Washington When
special interests keep Up "a song of hate" every
day against one man, it might be taken for
granted by any intelligent voter that the at
