Boston Is RiOt0uS Over New Money
 Wizards Scheme

not actually send money abroad. but use funds 1 have abroad between one country and another. That is the first part Of the transaction.
 "Ponzi had agents throughout Flu 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
 'sThe official United States Postal Guide sets forth the details of how international reply coupons were to be used. They were intended merely as a business convenience, but it seems that Ponzi was the first one to conceive how they could be exploited.
 "Statements that a number of re- ply coupons issued and redeemed by the United States during the past year and only a fraction of the mum Der Ponzi must have used in order to carry on the volume of business which he claims seem to be signifi- cant. Figures from the countries where coupons are cheap Or from the countries where they would be most likely to be taken for redemp- tion would have even more direct bearing upon the question of whether Ponzi actually carried on his business with these coupons alone.
 His customers did not Invest direct ly In these coupons, They simply de- posted their money with him and took in return a note for one and one half times the amount, redeema b1e in 90 days, He was offering interest in investm ments at the rate of 200 per cent annually. and in many cases he was actually giving returns at a far greater rate, for many of the notes he redeemed at 60 per cent. pgofit within 45 days.

STATE COURT ENJOINS IN
 QUEER CASE
Holmes Manufacturing Go. Restrained In An Unpat- r
 ented Device

That a fiduciary relation exists be- tween the inventor of an unpatented device and a party to whom he has explained his invention for the pur- pose of having the same manufac- tured was decided by Judge Frank D.. Haines in Middletown yesterday when he restrained Leslie w. Holmes and the Holmes Manufacturing Company ufacture of air cooled motors involv- ing the essential features of the Cam eron Motor and from disclosing any informal ton in regard to the same to other parties.
 This is the first time in the history of inventions that a state court has passed on this contention and the re- suit is of interest to all inventors who are experimenting with their devices before taking out patent.
 After a patent all actions for in- fringement must come before the United States District Court but Judge Haines by issuing the injunction shows that, the state courts have power to protect inventors before the patent is issued.
 Attorney John A. Cornell of this city appeared for Everett s. Cameron and the Cameron Motors Company in the injunction proceedings and is also attorney for the same parties in the action recently brought against the Holmes Manufacturing Company for s1, 100 0GO which has been returned to the September term of the Superior Court of Fairfield County.
 Cameron claims that on June Is. 1919, he entered into an agreement
 with the Holmes Manufacturing Company, of which Leslie w. Holmes
 is president, and they agreed to work together in promoting the sale and manufacture of a certain type of air cooled motor, which the plaintiff in I vented. An office was opened by the
 plaintiff in New York. where he en- deavored to create a demand for the type of motor in question.
 As the Holmes Manufacturing Com- pany, which was to manufacture these motors. could not understand
 some of the plans, Cameron explained
 the invention to them in detail. He
 gave them his blue prints, and other 1 technical knowledge on the motor Cameron now claims that the defend ant have stolen his idea, and with g l few minor changes are planning te begin the manufacture of the same | type of air-cooled motors. He also states that from June IS. 1919, te ] January IT. 1920, the Holmes Manu. featuring Company have made vari. ous parts of the motor. and have I completed several.

stating that the men would be given 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 gem eral situation. At the present time all the employees of the Bridgeport division are drawing salaries. I am not in a position to state how long

The cars that were sent out of the city are not be- ing operated on the lines of other cities but were simply sent to Nor walk and New Haven for storage pur- poses, according to MT. Kibling. 'fIf service was ordered resumed tomor- row we are in a position to put the full rolling stock of the Bridgeport division into operation" he said.
 MT. Kib1ing gave out his custom ary quotation of "I have nothing to say when asked if there was a pos sibility that the trolleys would re- sume operation on Monday. The To. cal employees of the company were being paid off for the week ending on last Friday at the Congress stree

The twd young ladies who pass out the papers in the bureau were at a loss to ac- count for what they term a mirac ulous happening this morning but for the want of better thought ex- pressed themselves that the scarcity of coal was too great a handicap to be overcome and NeWlyweds must keep the home fires burning during the long hard winter.

The jitney men were noti- fled at noon today that the law against having more than two passengers standing in any bus would be strictly enforced hereafter.
 The notice came from the office of Motor Vehicle Com missioner Stoeckel and the jit- ney men were given to under stand that the order would be enforced by a corps of men connected with Commissioner Stoeckel's office.
 The local police were not notified of the new order and knew nothing of it until they were notified by President John B. Schwartz that he had receiv- ed the notice. | President Schwartz said that he | and the jitney men would, of course | obey the law, but he thought that i; | was a great injustice at this time | when the jitney men were doing ev-
 erything in their power to meet the | situation created by the strike of the l Connecticut company that the Moto, I Vehicle Commissioner should invoke | this law to interfere with the hand ling of the crowds from the factorie:
 and stores at the rush hours of the
 day.
 President Schwartz said: "It vii
 only create trouble between the driv
 CTS and the passengers, who will in
 sist in getting the jitneys, ever
 though more than two are standing. If the jitneys are allowed to carr,
 all they can they will be able to han
 dle the crowds as well or better thai i they have since the trolleys stop ped. It seems a great injustice tha
 this law should be invoked against thu jitneys when everyone knows that th
 trolley cars have been allowed t'
 crowd in every onesand no one eve
 tries to stop them.'
 '-No trouble or accidents have oc
 cured from allowing more than twt } to stand and the people who leav' the factory insist getting on tn jitneys as long as there is room fo
 them"
 But we will obey the law and d,
 the best we can to handle the trafh
 no matter what handicaps are pu upon uS.'
 Despite the fact that 800 new jit ney buses were reported to be enrout from outside cities to Bridgeport
 records at the Motor Vehicle depart ment office at police headquarter l show that only 32 public service driv CTS licenses and 10 registrations hay : been issued here since midnight Sun . day Three of the new machine f came from Massachusetts, three iron , Newark, N.

Conference Held in New Haven Today Between President Storrs and the Division Managers Says Bridgeport Jitneys Here Succeeded the Cars Buses From Other Cities Being Used.

New Haven, Conn.,, July 28--i President Storrs of the Connec- ticut Company today, declined to comment on the trolley con ditions in the State, following & conference of five division managers, which, it was. re- ported, had considered the mat ter of cessation of service in New Haven, Hartford and Wa terbury: When asked if such a suspension of car service was in view Mr. Storrs said that none would be made without due notice to the community which would be affected.
 Mayor Fitzgerald called upon Mr. Storrs for a, discussion of the local trolley-jitne oondi- tlons, and 1t is understood that the trolley company is ready to make available to the alder manic committee, which is ex- amining conditions, the finan- cial accounts of the company. It is further contended by the trolley management, it is un- derstood, that whatever success
 the jitneys may be having in handling the Bridgeport traffic is due to the fact that motor vehicles have been drawn from 1 other places. and a cessation of
 trolley service in other places
 would leave the latter without
 adequate means of transporta- | ton.
