WANTS BARRE ACADEMY SKETCH
Barre Man Desires Incidents of School
4 Life Prepared for Times Article.

A Barre man who is much interested
in the history of Barre academy dur
ing the days when Jacob s. Spauldlng
was at the head of the institution has
expressed desire that some Of the un-
written facts and incidents in connec-
ton with the school be brought to-
aether and placed in a newspaper arti-
Gle to be printed in The Times SO that
details of the intimate life OF the
school may be preserved.
This mans interest was aroused by
hearing students of the old school re-
ate incidents and pranks, as well as
the more serious side of the schools $
activities. together with the evidences
of the astuteness of it's esteemed prin-
cipal; and he, along with others, has
thought it unfortunate that these
memories of old school days be lost
with the dying out of the generation
of students who sat under Jake
Spaulding
Therefore, this Barre man has of
fered substantial sum for an ac-
ceptable article on the intimate lite OF
Barre academy in the days OF Uncle
Jake" the article TO be closely allied
with fact and, necessarily, written by
student of the SCHOOL when Principal
Spaulding was there or by some one
in position TO get the details from
some person having personal knowi-
edge of the happenings
Such an article ought to cover two
or three columns of space in The
Times, although there is probably ma
terial enough to fill pamphlet. The
desire il to boil down the features into
an article for newspaper use. Anyone
desiring to have further details OF
what is wanted may consult with the
editor OF this paper.

OF SUPPOSED MILLIONS
TRANSFERRED BYPONZI

Hanover Trust Co., which was Ponzi's
chief depository and in which he was
a stockholder and director, was con
tinued to-day by members of Bank
Commissioner Aliens staff. Mr.. Allen
who closed the Hanover Trust Co
earlier in the week, in statement in
tended to reassure depositors in that
institution and in other trust compan-
les, said:
Nothing has developed SO far TO
lead to believe that the depositors will
lose one dollar. The Hanover Trust
Co is the only trust company in New
England that is involved in Ponzis
failure"
Runs on Small Trust Companies.
The financial district was concerned
yesterday when a small run was made
on several trust companies, due, to was
said, to reports that other financial in
stitutions would be involved in Pom
zi's affairs. There was indication to-

other than normal quantities.
Mr.. Allen has caused the state seal
to be placed on all safe deposit boxes in
the Hanover Trust Co. used by Ponzi
or officers or employees of the bank. He
said this was done as precaution
against the possible removal of secur-
tiles or other valuables, pending this
settlement of the institutions affairs.
One man who invested in Ponzi's
proposition and made his profit before
the well of dollars went dry, made in
quires to-day as to how he might turn
back the 50 per cent he received on a
81 900 note He said his conscience
troubled him so that he could not sleep
when he thought of how Ponzi obtained
the money with which he paid inter
est.
The attorney generals Office is now
engaged in a study of the statutes to
determine whether action may be taken
to compel all persons who had cashed
their notes on PonZi, matured and un-
matured, to turn the money back into
a common fund for equal distribution
among all note holders.
Commissioner of immigration Skef-
fin2ton announced that at the conclu-
sion of the investigation of Ponzi by
federal and state authorities he would
ask report from them in the Italians
