BETTERING THE SERVICE
Investigation Shows Condi-
tiOnS Which Must Be EIim-
mated; Coastal Stations
Included in Shake Up.

Washington, Aug. II. - Re-or-
ganization of the immigration bu-
reau was ordered today by Assist
ant Secretary Post of the labor de-
partment, following an investiga
ton, said to have disclosed condi-
tions indicating cutter disorganiza-
n ,oit of the service. The shake
up, it was said at the department,
included not only the office here of
Commissioner General Caminetti,
but also the coastal stations and
the field service.
Labor department officials said
the conditions which led to the in
vestigation were of long standing.
The situation was called to the at
tention of Mr.. Caminetti by Secre-
tary Wilson and the solicitor of the
labor department, before whom
had been presented instances which
they believed showed the disorgan-
lied state of the immigration serV-
ice.
Plans of the department under
its reorganization scheme were not
disclosed, Mr.. Post conferred to-
day, however. with Commissioner
Wallis of the Ellis Island station,
regarding the situation there, due
to shortage of personnel to handle
increased immigration. 1t was in
dicated that the force would be
increased soon to a point approach
ing its size before the war.

Be s3,349,03l

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WlpHl
Boston. Aug. 17-An intimation
of the defense to be offered by
Charles Ponzi, now in Jail as the
outcome of his financial dealings,
was given today by his chief coun-
sell Daniel McIsaacs, who said
that Ponzi had been swindled out
of thousands of dollars through
the forging and raising of his
notes.
At a hearing in federal court
today on petitions for receivership
of the Securities Exchange com
pany, of which Ponzi was the
head, no opposition was voiced.
Judge Morton took under advise
ment the receivership plea.
Governor Coolidge today eX-
pressed the opinion that there now
are enough laws to meet situations
such as have developed in the
Ponzi and Old Colony Foreign Ex-
change company cases. This COM
ment was made after he had re-
ceived a letter from District At
torney Pelletier, suggesting spe-
cial legislation
Attorney General Allen tonight
said that the returns filed by note
holders so far showed the PonZi
liabilities to be $3,349,031. This
sum included the fifty per cent
profit promised.

SUPERIOR COURT ROOM
SAFE is ROBBED WITH
DETECTIVES CLOSE

Los Angeles. Calf, Aug. II.
While detectives were at
tempting to find out how rob-
bers last night gained access
to safe in one of the su-
perior court rooms here and
escaped with $4,000, the gem
eral public was wondering why
the robbers did not take $50
600 more which was there.
Earlier reports had credited
the robbers with obtaining S2o,-
900.
The money was packed into
bundles of $1,000 each, and
represented bail deposited by a
number of persons. The robbers
apparently gained entrance to
the court room through adjoin-
pg offices, using pass keys, and
kpened the safe by means or
the combination. The court
room is Immediately above de-
tective headquarters where men
were on duty all night. The
robbery was discovered when
court was opened this morning.
Detectives declared they were
bending their first energies to-
ward ascertaining how the rob-
bers happened to have the safe
combination and why there was
so much money in the safe,
The court clerk, Clyde Johnson,
said he had intended to deposit
the money today.

Marion, Ohio, Aug. IA con-
ference of republican chiefs con-
Vened today to shape a speaking
schedule for Senator Harding, ad-
journed without completing the
task.
Requests that the nominee speak
away from Marion were discussed
along with plans for the reception
here of front porch delegations,
but no out-of-town invitation was
accepted and only two dates were
added to front porch engagements.
Will II. Hays, national chairman,
announced that "at Senator Hard
ing's personal insistent WISH" the
labor day speech would be deliv-
cred from the front porch to a
meeting arranged by the central
labor union. He said the senator
was anxious to speak on labor is
sues here among people who
know his labor record" and for
that reason invitations to other
cities for that day were declined.

Usher of farm periodicals.
What took place at the session
was described by Senator New as
"just general discussion without
reaching any decisions except ten
tatively." He said all participants
except Senator Harding were leav-
ing Marion tonight and that there
had been no agreement for re-
sumption of the conference.
Chairman Hays said there had
been mo hitch" in the proceed
ings, but that the work of sorting
over the applications and dove
failing them together had been
found very laborious.
All of those in the conference
were emphatic in declaring they
expected no modification in the
front porch campaign. They all
said, however, that "a number OF
speeches" probably would be made
in other cities, adding that such
trips had been a part of the plan
from the beginning.
In addition to favoring a front
porch labor day speech, Senator
Harding emphasized the number
of applications received for ap-
pointments here, declaring that not
one-tenth of them could be
granted.
Among other things there was
some discussion of Senator Hard
ing's speech of September at
the Minnesota state fair. Farm
questions were talked over with
Mr.. Wallace.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 17.-unex-
pected adjournment of the Tennes-
see house after three hours debate
prevented final action on suffrage.
Suffrage opponents moved for
adjournment until tomorrow on the
plea that members should have
more time to deliberate. The
house fairly seethed with excite
ment. Efforts to hold the body in
session, however, were unavailing
and the motion carried, SO to A.
Opposition leaders said the vote
was a virtually correct indication
! of sentiment on ratification. The
/ pffragists declared no importance
should be attached to it. A final
vote tomorrow was regarded as al
, most certain.
Some members took exception to
| the presence of scores of opposing
workers on the floor. A motion
| that it be cleared brought pro-
! test.
Debate on the motion that the
house concur in the action of the
| senate in ratifying centered largely
on the contention that this legisla-
ture had no right to act on ratift-
cation, as a clause of the state con-
stitution provides that legislature,
to pass on a proposed amendment
must have been elected prior to
the submission of the amendment
| by congress.
