COURT RAPs PARENT

London.-A boy CT 15,-married
and tie father of a child, appeared
at Greenwich police court on a charge
Of theft and was ordered sent to a
reforn.a.ory..
Charles Wright The boy was al
ready on probation from the London
sessions for being concerned in a
theft Of whisky, and had ststed that
his father turned him out as the age
of II.
The father appeared in court and
stated that he was obliged Ito turn
the boy out as he was aways steal
ing money
Tie magistrates: "You have a
strange idea Of the duties Of a faith
err 1t is you who are answerable
fer al tlis. 1t is disgrlceful, and
You ought to be in prison for it,"
The father then said he though; he
had cnly done the right thing, to
which TIE magistrate replied
"You are net likely to make the
position any better by talking. You
are making yourself a fool as well
es a knave by such statement"
The boy said he owed $50 to a
money lender, which he had borrow
ed to provide home, but was assur-
ed by the magistrate that he need
not worry about That as he was only
a child
"You have never had a fair
chance the court added You have
not had a decent father"

such stories as those circulated about
Newberry is openly admitted. One
senator with progressive turn of
mind and with sincere ambitions to
serve his people, suggested recently
that the only number which got
hearty applause at local yaude-
vile theater was reflection upon
the senate and upon its work His
comment was inspired by an open
letter published in a Washington pa
per from just an ordinary man in
which he called attention to the re-
ports from the Newberry case and
the vast expeditures of money which
were stated to have been made in
that election
The republicans fear "a Newberry

diately after Newborry came to the
senate and was forced into his seat
by the Republican leaders. an effort
was made to keep down any agita

.PONz| AGAIN DECLINES
TO REVEAL METHODS
Says He Cannot Betray Confidence
of His European
Associates.

BOSTON, July 31.-The examination
by federal auditors of the books of
Charles Ponzi, maker of millions
through international postal ex-
change. has but scratched the sur
face" according to Edwin L. Pride,
the auditor in charge, tonight. The
examination was begun twenty four
hours ago and it is expected will not
be completed much before the end of
next week.
PonZi reiterated tonight that he had
no apprehension as to the outcome
of the audit.
II shall never make public my
methods OF doing business" he added.
lat least for the present 1 shall con-
tinue to maintain my secret. Some
time l may tell how 1 did business.
but it would be manifestly unfair to
persons who have been associate
with me to divulge the methods at
present"
In reply to question whether he
meant that he desired to protect his
European associates, Ponzi said:
They are entitled to my confidence,
since they were largely responsible
for the success of the venture"
Mr.. Pride said that most of the
books, papers and cards of the COM
pany were in "choatic condition"
but that THIS was 10 De expected with
a concern that did such a ire
mendous business in such a brief
time" PonZi himself, when leaving
his Office today. said he did not know
how many depositors he had. But he
estimated his total payments at be-
tween 100000 and 100000.
Business was not SO brisk today
as earlier in the week, there being
not more than thirty-five depositors
al the office at any one time. Indica-
tons pointed to the end of the run"
which began early in the week.

DUTCH IRE STIRRED UP
BY CREDIT TO GERMANY
First Chambers Vote Took Place
Despite Warning From
Statesmen.
by Cable to The Star and Chicago
Dali News. Copyright, 1920.

AMSTERDAM. July 31.-Dutch pub
lie opinion has been stirred up by the
vote in the first chanib Der of a credit
of 200.000.000 guilders (normally
about $4,000. O00) to Germany. Some
weeks ago the second chamber voted
the bill at an unsuitable time. namely.
a few days before the Spa conference,
although Mr. Treub, one of the most
prominent of Dutch liberal states
men. warned the members against
haste because the Spa conference
could bring about considerable
.change in the political situation. Not
withstanding the warning, the second
chamber voted the credit.
Some days afterward the newspa-
pers published sensational inter
view with DIR. Walter Simons, the
German minister of foreign affairs. in
which he said that Germany would
not be able to meet its liabilities re-
garding the coal supply to Holland
owing TO the unfavorable settlement
of the coal question brought about
in Spa and the rigorous conditions of
the allies. The Dutch government,
disconnected by this turn in events
asked Berlin to clear the matter up
DR.. Fehrenbach, the German chanceI-
Tor, imm ediately wrote a letter to the
Dutch foreign minister disavowing

many would not fail to meet her liza
bilities.
Meanwhile the first chamber. in
stead of awaiting political develop
rnents, voted the credit notwithstand-
ing the ambiguous attitude of the
Berlin government.
The newspapers in this country in
commenting on the vote say that the
first chamber has injured the prestige
of the Dutch parliament by its hasty
action in this and other important
state affairs.

Pardon the diversion. 1 am re-

There is no living today or to-
morrow according to the standards
of yesterday. Every normal being is
looking forward. We collect more
federal taxes in one year than the
entire wealth of the republic a CEN
fury ago. Only little while ago our
grievances about taxes were wholly
