PLAN POPULAR SUBsCRlPTIoN
Marion, O.. July '30.-Questions of
financing the Republican campaign
were taken up in conference of 40
business men connected with the finan-
cial end of the Republican national
committee yesterday. They were ac-

People to Pay Campaign
"This campaign is goin to be
financed by truly popular fund.-
Mr.. .Upham said. Arizona is going
to contribute it's share, in proper pro-
portion, just exactly as New York or
Chicago will do. The idea of a popu-
lar fund has appealed strongly to the
rank and file of the party 81
The Ohio situation was discussed
by the senator with George H. Clark,
chairman of the advisory committee.
who declared that, even with the
Democrats making the state one Of
their principle battle grounds, there
was no doubt of Republican success.
"Ohio is Republican," Mr.. Clark
said in formal statement. "She win
exceed her record in her plurality for
Harding and Coolidge.
II speak out of knowledge, and a
survey 7Of every county and c0mmun-

SUGAR ONLY IS
BURGLARS LOOT

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 30.-A su-
gar thief is operating at Philip and
thus far has procured quite guam

more valuable than silk or other goods
carried in stock by the stores. E. M.
Larson was the latest victim. His
store was entered and several 100-lb.
sacks Of sugar carried away. Recent
ly number of sugar sacks also were

How POnZi Worked

Washington, July 29.--Iaklng ad-
vantage of the difference in postal and
real exchange rates, Charles Ponzi OF
Boston, former waiter, traveller and
university graduate, made more than
SO ,OOO,O 900 in few months trading in
international money orders and
stamps. Others have also made huge
profits, investigation showed.
Under the conversion rates, an
nounced yesterday and effective Au-
gust Is, an international money order
for one pound sterling would be worth
81 in American money. Under the
old rate it was worth $4.87.
The new rates applied to money of
other countries makes One form of
the Netherlands equal of 80 cents );
one krona of Sweden is worth "a
cents; one krona of Denmark on Nor
way is equal to 20 cents, and 1890
francs Of French, Belgium and Italy
are equal to 81.
Under old conversion rates a trine
more than five francs, three krona
and u ores, two florins and AZ cents
(Netherlands) We're equal to dollar.
" Ponzi was said to have bought
stamps abroad and sold them here at
great profit.
The American government, is was
made plain, has not lost any. money
thru the operations of Ponzi a I'd 9th
ers, but has been the gamer!
Operations by which profits we're
made in trading in intern1 tional
money orders and stamps was ex-
planned here A money order Tor a
pound sterling can be bought in Ion
don for little less than 81 American
money. In this country the order brot
$4.87. Great Britain stood the loss un-
til the government hit upon the plan
of stopping the practice of taxation.
Not all countries have done this,
however.
In the same way an Italian five
cent piece could be bought for about
one, cent American money. 1t could
be cashed here for five cents or sold
to- stamp broker for something over
four cents.

New Rockford Motion to Vacate
Old, Judgment Will Not be Re-
a ceived by Justice Robinson
REASONS OF COURT GIVEN
Would Mean Judicial Anarchy"
to Set Aside Any Decisions,
Justice Says

People of North Dakota will not
vote this fall on the question of re-
moving the state capital from Bis
nlarck to New Rockford.
Justice J. E. Robinson, of the s,l-
preme court, sitting as acting CHEZ
justice during vacation, today refus-
ed to consider a motion OF New Rock
ford people to vacate the decision
of the court four years ago refusing
to place the matter before the peo-
pie. M2s
AS the time has expired for the
filing of petitions to obtain vote on
constitutional amendments, the mat
ter cannot be voted upon this fall.
When the New Rockford people
presented 10000 petitions to the sec
retary of state four years ago, the
matter was taken into court. The
supreme court held on Sept. II, 1916
in the case of Linde VS.. Hall that
the law providing for the initiation of
constitutional amendments was not
self-executing and New ROckford's
petitions therefore were not suffi-
cient. On Oct. 5, 1918, in the case
Twichell VS.. Hall the supreme court
reversed the construction of the law
given in the previous decision.
New Request
A short time ago, j. F. Richards.
representing the Community club Of
New Rockford, asked Thomas Hail,
secretary of state, to hold the old pc
titions valid because of the reversal
of he decision, and to place the
question on the ballot Mr.. Hall held
that there was no warrant in law for
so doing, and an opinion Of f. E.
Packard, assistant attorney general
held the same. Their stand now is
upheld by Justice Robinson.
Courts Ruling
. In a letter to attorneys for bOtl
sides in the matter Justice Robinson
says:
Our clerk has referred to me a
motion to reconsider this case (Bau-
er VS.. Hall) and to .yacate the judg'
ment and direct the secretary Of
state to place on the ballot at the
next general election petition 70
amend the constitution so as to
change the capital. 1t is true this
court, as now. constituted, has de-
cided that the Judgment entered in
this action was erroneous and so we
have held many other judgments er-
roneoils, and doubtless the successors
of the present judges will hold that
many of our decisions are erroneous.
Certain it is that every appellate
court does make erroneous decisions.
Manifestly if all such decisions may
be reconsidered and opened up there
would be no end to litigation In
deed, all the decisions which we have
made sustaining the recent constitu-
tion amendments and the laws made
pursuant to them might be reversed
and annulled and of course that would
be nothing less than judicial anarchy.
The motion is clearly out of order.
Hence, the clerk of this court is d.
rected not to consider the motion
or to put the same on the court cal
endar."

Elements Of Mystery in Case of
Man Accused of Wife MUIR
der-Story of Deaths
by LORRY A, JACOBS
N e. "A. Staff Correspond ndent

Manchester, VT, July 80, = Two
distinct elements of mystery SIR.
round the case Of Byron Pettibone,
alleged wife murder One traces
back to the time before PettibOne's
wife died, suddenly and mysteriously.
The other has turned up since the
alleged murderer has been confined
in CELL EG %
FIRST-W What was the secret
of the strange infatuation which
I. Pettibone had for Nurse Irene
Guillow, a woman few people
would consider attractive.
SECOND-Who is the black
veiled woman who has been
lowering around the Jail where
Pettibone is held.
Marriage a Secret
All New England became interest
ed in the case when the history OF
Pettibone's love affair with his wife
seeped out. Several years ago, when
he was 81, Pettibone wooed and won
Mrs. Bond, who was 40, and owner
of little store in Bennington, where
'Pettibone worked. The marriage was
kept secret until townsfOlk began to
talk about the couples associations.
The breath of scandal died down,
but tOWnsfOlk often referred to the
yPettibones as that queer couple
she's old enough to be his mother"
The couple finally sold their store
a Dotk NJ L1n oy,,1
in an undertaking establishment
while his wife went to work in a
mill
Then Mrs. Pettibone died
suddenly. An autopsy was held
and strychnine was found. Police
say Pettibone confessed he had
put it in a dose of salts his wife
! had taken.,
He explained, in his confession,
according to police, how he gave his
wife the poisoned salts and then kiss
ed her good night.
She'll Stick by Him j,
Ard then came the disclosurs of
Pettibone's relations with Irene Gull
low. She has visited him repeatedly
in his cell He asks about her con-
tinually. She has written him love
letters, and said, in his cell, Byron
l love you better than ever. I'll stick
with you to the end" \
iNeighbors say that Pettibone often
took Miss Guillow riding on the front
seat of the hearse Ne drove.
And now, with the alleged
murderer behind bars, woman
has paid nightly visits to place
outside Of Pettibone's cell. She
has not appeared at the trial.
Attorneys say they do not know
her. And villagers declare she
doesn't belong there.
E,s. Mystery Woman y
Is she a witness, hiding her iden-
tity? Or perhaps a relative unable
to keep away from the scene where
one of cher own" is in danger d
And, while Pettibone's trial goes
on. villagers are musing:
"Why did Nurse Guillow attract
hin-and is there another love al
fair that the woman in the black veil
could eXDlain!'

Nell, at $1,5oo,0O0. "And we have
twice as much more money right here

The run of frightened investors to

of Ponzi as unmatured notes were paid
only on the basis of actual invest
