 Motor vehicle traffic today was being handled in the same efficient manner as featured the work of the police and jitney drivers during the first two days of the week. No com plaints have as yet been registered at the Traffic division, according to Captain James Walker.
 Numerous complaints have been been made to the police regarding smoking in jitney buses. All drivers have been warned against permitting passengers to smoke in the Iyachines, and the ruling will be enforced by the police.
 In regard to the bulletin which has been posted at the Congress street barn of the Connecticut Company stating that the men would be given a resassignment of runs to take effect on August 2, Supt. Frank L. Kibling of the local lines gave out the fol- lowing statement to the press this morning:
 That bulletin has no bearing on the resumption of trolley service in Bridgeport but is to cover the runs between Silver Sands and New Ha- ven, on the Westport local lines, and between Westport and Norwalk. There is absolutely nothing new in the gen. eral situation. At the present time all the employees of the Bridgeport division are drawing salaries. I am i not in a position to state how Ions that condition will remain.'' MT. Kib1ing further told a Times re-

The cars tha were sent out of the city are not be 1 ing operated on the lines of othel | cities but were simply sent to Nor | walk and New Haven for storage pur i poses, according to MT. Kibling.

 United States District Attorney Dan iel J. Gallagher yesterday issued the following statement as coming from Ponzi, in which Ponzi himself .ex- plained the methods he was using in order to double money in 90 days:
 '.The method is the conversion of American money, first into depre- ciated foreign currency, no matter what it is; or the conversion of for eign money, not depreciated, into for making this statement because I do not actually send money abroad, but use funds I have abroad between one country and another. That is the first part Of the transaction.
 "Ponzi had agents throughout Eu- rope, he maintains. These bought coupons when they were cheap. The coupons were taken to countries | where money rates were high and converted into stamps. These stamps were sold to big business houses or other large users, Ponzi said
 "The official United States Postal Guide sets forth the details of how | international reply coupons were to
 be used. They were intended merely | as business convenience, but it 1 seems that Ponzi was the first one to conceive how they could be exploited Staten ents that a number of re- l ply coupons issued and redeemed by the United States during the past l year and only a fraction of the num- | Der Ponzi must have used in order | to carry on the volume of business 1 which he claims seem to be signih ] cant. Figures from the countries | where coupons are cheap Or from
 the countries where they would b. | most likely to be taken for redemp ton would have even more direc | bearing upon the question of whether
 Ponzi actually carried on his bushes | with these coupons alone.
 His customers did not invest direct ly in these coupons. They simply de | posted their money with him an

 was actually giving returns at a ia greater rate. for many of the note l he redeemed at 60 per cent. prof
