All Of us frequently use expressions
Of which we do not really know the

Express Rate Increase
Granted by Commission
Order Will Add Thirty-Five Mil
lions to American Railway
Express Annual Income.
MORE TO BE ASKED FOR
Commission Says No Allowance
Is Made to Cover Recent
Wage Increase.
lRy Associated Rness.l

Washington, Aug. 13.-Increase OF
twelve and a half percent in express
rates, which it is unofficially esti-
mated, will add thirty-five million, five
hundred thousand dollars to the an
nual income of the American Railway
Express Company, was granted to-
day by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
The commission held there was no
adequate basis for the request of ship
pers for exception of certain commo-
dities from the increased rates.
The increase granted was about half
what the company asked, but does not
take into consideration the wage in
crease of approximately thirty mil
lion, recently awarded. The new rates
will be effective upon not less than
one months notice by filing of sched-
ules with the commission.
The commission expressed the opin-
ion that the express company should
retain the full amount awarded and
none of it be allowed to railroad car
riers, and that contracts should be
modified to permit that.
The commission says there is Moth
ing in its decisions to be taken as
forecasting between consolidated
company and railroads.
1t is expected the express company
will soon apply for another advance
in rates to cover the wage increase.

Ponzi Is Surrendered By Bonds

Similar Concern Arrested.
NOTE HOLDERS ARE MANY
Old Colony Foreign Exchange
Company With Main Offices
Boston Under Investigation.

Boston, Aug. 13.-Four men who
have accepted millions of dollars from
New England investors in the last
few months on promise of payment of
fabulous interest, were behind the
bars tonight.
Charles Ponzi, whose spectacular
financial dealings made his name
known the country over, VISA surren-
dered today by the man who furnished
$4,000 bond for his release after his
arrest yesterday, and unable to find
another bondsman, Ponzi went to Jail.
Three officers of the. Old Colony
Foreign Exchange Company were ar
rested and held in the municipal court
on $4,000 bonds on technical charges
of larceny of $500 from persons un-
known. In default of bonds they
spent the night in Jail.
They are Charles NJ. Brightwen,
president and treasurer of the COM
pany; Raymond Meyers, office man
ager, and Fred Meyers, sales agent.
All three pleaded not guilty.
Albert Hurwitz intimated that the
activities of this concern might have
rivalled in extent that of Ponzis Sc
curity Exchange Company. He told
the court its transaction probably will
be shown to be hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
Samuel Zorn, said to have been en-
ployed by the same concern, was ar
rested tonight on same charges and
locked up without bail being fixed.
More than a hundred note holders
were in the Exchange Company's Of
flee today when a man emerged from
the inner office and announced that
by order of the district attorney" no
payments on notes will be made for
three or four days.
Brightwell said later the announce
ment was erroneous so far as the dis
trict attorney was concerned.
