(By Associated Press)

BOSTON, Aug. 16.-The inquiry
into every ramification of Charles
Ponzi's spectacular financial activities
again occupied the attention of state
and federal officials after their week
end respite, but they took up their
task with the assurance that the dis
covery of further damage to the finan-
cial fabric of New England was un-
likely.
Ponzrs counsel centered their ef
forts today on attempts to obtain the
bail necessary to effect his release
from the East Cambridge Jail, where
he is held by the federal government
on a charge of using the mails to de-
fraud
Should a bondsman be found, the
sheriff was ready at the Jail with Il
warrant upon which Ponzi will be re-
arrested for the state authorities on a
cha rye of larceny. The bond required
by the federal court is $4,000.
Would Have to Have $4,000
To gain his freedom from the COM
monwealth he then would have to sup
ply a bond of $4,000 on a three-count
larceny charge standing against him
and whatever additional bail may be
asked on the 53-count larceny charge
that has not been served upon him.
Attorney-General Allen states that.
although no amount has been agreed
upon in the latter case, he personally
would approve of bonds of $4,000.
According to this, Ponzi will have to
procure a total surety of SS5,O00. A

Matthias Smith Accidentally
Shot by Brother; Wound Is
Through Front OF His Body

Matthias Smith, Is years old, was ac-
cidentally shot by his brother, Earl
Smith, II years old Monday about 10
a. m. when the two boys were in their
room at the home of their parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Smith, 213 North
Eighteenth street, preparing to go
into the country for target shooting.
The elder brother was unwrapping
his gun and it is thought that the
cloth caught the trigger. which was
instantly pulled, sending the bullet
from the % revolver into the center
of the other boys body, above the alb
domen. The bullet only wounded the
flesh and came out just below the
heart Because of the suddenness of
the occurrence the boys were confused
and are uncertain as to the exact de-
tails.
A physician was called and took
the boy to his office, where his
wounds were dressed. He is now at
home and in no danger.

ANTICIPATE A TAX
RATE OF 83 CENTS
FOR CITY IN 1921

A tentative budget, based on esti-
mates submitted by various city de-
partments, prepared by B. A. Bescher,
city controller, would provide a is
cent increase in the tax rate for the
city of Richmond for 1921 The pres
ent rate is 67 cents. The anticipated
rate for 1921 is SO cents
Controller Bescher has roughly esti-
mated that the city government next
year will require additional revenue in
the sum of $51,676.
This estimate is based on the in
creased cost Of maintaining the fire
department. due to the recently in
stalled two platoon system. to increase
in the cost Of street lighting under
the new electric rates for the NUM-
clpal plant, additional funds for the
street department and for normal in
creased costs for the operation of all
departments.
The 1920 tax valuations for the city
of Richmond, recently submitted to
the controller by the county auditor,
gives the total net assessment as $685.
204,017 as follows:
Assessments Total $37,117,737
Land and improvements IS 1212,22O
Lots and improvements =. 19,72S,70
Personal property ........ 12094,2
Railroads .......... 4,OS2,597
Assessments totaled $37117,737,
from which is deducted mortgage ex.
emptions amounting to $913,72O.
The total net tax valuations for the
city in 1919 amounted to $35,24O,674
The city budget for 1920 plus addition.
al appropriations it has been found
necessary to provide to date, made
total appropriations in the sum of
$242.244. Mr.. Bescher estimates that
the city next year will require a
revenue Of S293,920.
In 1918. the year before the state tax
board doubled tax valuations, Rich.
mond. with a total tax rate of SO so
including city, county, city school,
township and state rates, ranked
among the SO cities OF the state as
having the seventh lowest rate.
Tax Rate Rises Immensely
Last year, when assessments were
doubled and tax rates cut, Richmond
with a total rate ST. 80 became 40th
from the bottom among cities of the
state.
City Controller Bescher recently
ventured the opinion that the citys
total tax rate, to be established next
month, for 1921, would approximate
So 90. or only so cents less than when
tax valuations were, generally speak
ing, 100 per cent less than at the pres
ent time.

QUAKER FACTIONISTS
GIVEN UNDERSTANDING
BY s. E. NICHOLSON

A verbal spanking was delivered by
S. E. Nicholson, clerk Of Indiana Year

cause of factional division over a diff.
ference of opinion.
While not mentioning the letter
sent by Portland quarterly meeting
inquiring into certain policies of the
American Friend, and teachings Of
Earlham college, it was evident that
it was the target of his words.
"It is an unthinkable and undesir-
able situation to have differences di
vide us into factions" said Mr.. Mich.

point where as individuals and Chris
tains We owe it to ourselves, and We
owe it to the world that is torn and

motive of other Christian people.

"At the Ministry and Oversight
meeting Saturday morning it was
thought advisable and the Christian
thing to do to appoint committee for
investigation, but whether or not that
committee is successful depends upon
the spirit in which they enter the
work.
They should have the spirit Of
charity and good will, and work to the
end that the yearly meeting could go
on together with a greater spirit Of
Christian love"
The committee. consisting Of S. e
Nicholson, William J. Sayres, of Mum
Gle. Ida T. Parker Ira G. Johnson, OF
Lynn, and S. A. Wood, of Fairmount.
was instructed to report the condition
of the church at the next Yearly meet

In the evening, David NJ Edwards,

indspensability of having God with
them in their lives.
Pennington Speaks Sunday.
Sunday morning the chapel was
filled to overflowing to hear Levi T.
Pennington in a forcaful gospel mes
sage. Services also will be held in

work Mrs. Conover answered ques
tions about the country and Mr.. Con

of Frances recognition and promise
of material aid.
Some officials and diplomats here
were of the opinion that the situation
was not quite as serious as it appeared
on first consideration.
Action Of France Approved.
The action of France in recognizing
General Wrangel is understood to
have met with the approval of the
American government. The French
reply to the American note to Italy,
which was received yesterday, dis
closed that America and France are
practically as one in their policy to-
ward Russia.
The armored cruiser Pittsburg, and
a destroyer have been ordered to the
Baltic sea to protect American inter
ests there.
The vessels are now at Cherbourg,
France, and it was announced early
today that they would proceed im-

Warren Fairbanks. of Lake Forest.
Ill, son of the late Charles Fairbanks,
eX-vice-president, is i'll at the Westcott
hotel, but was unwilling to give out
any statement Monday morning con-
corning his illness or the purpose of
his business in Richmond.
When he was called upon at his
room in the hotel a local physician
who was in attendance, states the
illness is only temporary and that he
will be able to be out in a day or two.
The physician stated that Mr.. Fair
banks plans are indefinite" but that
he was going through Richmond on a
business trip.
Joseph Healing, of Indianapolis. a
prominent Indiana Republican, was in
the city Sunday to call upon Fair
banks. 1t is denied that either the
visit of Healing or Fairbanks in Rich
mond has any political significance.
