 FOR PONZPS AFFAIRS
They Must Decide As to Ac- ton Against Those Who
 Have PrOfited.

Boston, Aug. 20.-The broken, for tunes of Charles Ponzi and the in terests of thousands of investors in his quick rich scheme were placed in receivership by Judge Morton. of the federal district court today.
 The court appointed three receiv- CTS. William R. Sears, of Cohasset: John Forbes Perkins of Milton, and Edward A. Thurston, of Fall River. It was ordered that they qualify in bonds of s50.000 each.
 The amount of assets to be handled is uncertain, PonZfs statement that they would aggregate s4,O00,00O be- ing the only estimate available.
 The receivers will be called upon to adjust claims which are likely to run to $7,0OO,00O according to the estimate of Edwin l.. Pride, the ac- countant who has been making an audit of Ponzis liabilities for the fed eral authorities. These figures in clude the 30 per cent profits promised by Ponzi to his investors.
 The receivers also will be called upon to decide whether they will proceed against the persons to whom Ponzi paid the 50 per cent profit be- fore he stopped doing business.
 He asserted yesterday that he had paid out $7,500,00o. Some of these payments were refunds of actual in vestments only. The amount of money paid out by Ponzi in interest, and subject to action by the receivers. should it be held that undue prefer ence was given the persons who re- ceived it, would be approximately s2,00o, 900.
 The Old Colony Foreign Exchange company, d rival of Ponzi in offering high rates of interest for investments. also was placed in receivership by Judge Morton. John F.. Hannigan, a lawyer was named as receiver. 3
 A belief that creditors of the com rany would receive 90. per cent of their investment was expressed to the court by Robert Gallagher, counsel for the company. Attorney General Allen of Massachusetts said that the visible assets amounted to something like $15O,OOO and that the total of the company's business in notes was prob ably $250,0O0.
