Solvency Apparently Ac-
cepted-State Probe Of
Methods Continues.
GOVERNMENT PROFITS
Boston Postage Stamp
WIZARD Makes $50O,0O0
In Fiive-Day Run.
CBy Universal serviceD

Boston, July >3O.-The question o.
solvency of Charles Ponzi, th'
postage stamp wizard" of Pi,
Alley, who pays so per cent on in
vestments in forty-five days. seemed
to be definitely settled in the mind
of his clients today.
Abare handful gathered, formed
"a short queue. were paid theil
money on presentation of theil
notes and left without demonstra'
ton. Clerks said almost as many
of the notes paid today were ma
tured as there were those of un'
trusting investors.
sI,5OO.OOO Paid Out.
For five days the run on the lit
tie Office in the alley behind the
City Hall had kept up. Ponzr:
clerks estimate they have paid out
about s1.5O0.oOO during the time
and say they have more than twice
the amount necessary to liquidatt
the claim of every customer on HAND
in Boston.
Ponzi. personally. refused to dis
cuss the offer he is said to have
received from a New York banker
of S1O.0OO,OOO for his business. fur
ther than to say that he had not
decided what action he would take
He intimated he would hold a con-
ference with the Wall Street finan-
Cier within the next few days tc
talk over the matter.
There are s3O,OO0,OOO to $4,000,
900 yet to be made out of this
thing" Ponzi repeated, but a mar
will have to hurry to do it. There
must be no delay"
Government Makes Profit.
The run of frightened investors
Ponzi estimates, has meant more
money in his pocket than If they
had let their notes mature. He
points out that nearly $1,000, 900 he
paid out was on incompleteG notes
on which he paid no interest. At SO
per cent, this has meant a saving of
$500, 900. he estimates, since most of
the accounts were within a short
period of maturity.
From Washington the report
came today that the United States
government has probably made al
most as much out of the unequal
foreign exchange as has Ponzi. This
is due to the fact that conversion
rates remained constant while for
eign exchange luctuated violently.
New conversion rates go into effect
August Is, however. which will un-
doubtedly reduce, though not en-
tirely eliminate. the governments s
profits on foreign money orders.
Attorney General Allen said this

japan is playing world diplomacy
Of a far wider sort it was learned
yesterday, than appears in the para
phrases of the Sakhalin, note made
public in Tokyo The objective OF
the United States. manifold in
scope. includes the three following
major factors:
Rearirmation of the definite pol

the armistice that there must be nc
disuaemberment of Russia
A supreme effort to prevent rec.
ognition- on the part Of any civil

-open Door Demanded
Absolute adherence to the policy
of the open door" in the Far East
eIpounded first by John Hay.
In diplomatic quarters here it is
learned the United States has Of
fered objection that any of the al
lies in the world war should take
advantage of Russia's present plight
or take any portion of her country
as hostage.
In this stand the United States
tends to the theory. long expressed
in official circles, that the ultimate
regeneration of Russia Is a thing TO
be expected and worked for, and
until such an awaken of the
mass of the Russian people can
take place she is not to lose her
preferential rights as an ally in the
war against Germany.
Fight Sovietism.
The United States could. of
course, offer no objection to any
-approachement that Japan might be
able to effect with Russia after gov
ernment by the majority had been
duly constituted. This government.
however, does fear the BOlshevists
may be working for an alliance de-
signed merely to spread the Soviet
doctrines and in which the loss of
territory would be offset by the in
filtration of the Bolshevist germ
into new lands
Steps taken by sapan indicate a
desire to dominate two large sec
tiOns OF the Far East. in China and
Siberia. and it is the absolute belief
Of the United States that anything
that tends TO close up any part of
Chinese or Russian territory is a
direct violation Of the open door
policy.
