P0NZI'S STORY
OF EASY WEALTH
LIKE A ROMANCE
Young Italian Made Millions in
Few Months on Difference on
Foreign Exchange

Boston, July 31-Charles Ponzi
traveller, university graduate, waiter
and multi-millionaire in short time
by reason of his operations in inter.
national exchange, is taking life
calmly while other people marvel at
his rapid rise to fortune, and many
investors have become frightened
and withdraw their investments. He
is said to have made millions in a
few months.
-Ponzi was born in Italy. His fam.
si,ya Was wsA to do. and his education
was Of the. best: He never did any
work, feeling dtRaWas "beneath me.p
he.said so he kept at school at Parma
Italy and the University Of Rome.
Ponzi admits that he was a spend
thrift while in college. ,rhe time
came when he must get to work, and
lot wanting to work in Italy among
acquaintances he came to America
He arrived in Boston with $3.50.
4 He washed dishes in Boston to get
2nough money to take him to Pitts
burgh to meet a friend, but the
friend did not materialize and he be-
gan doing odd jobs in a restaurant
in Pittsburgh.
81 was always dreaming of the day
when | could get enough money, be-
cause it is cinch no man is going
to make money unless he has goi
money to start on" said Ponzi. He
saved bit of money, went to Coney
Island and had. great time for few
weeks, and then went into New York
to find job. He got job at a
big hotel Getting tired Of New York.
he began to travel, getting jobs along
the way.
Gets Brokers Job
He finally reached Boston and got
a job with a merchandise broker for
S25 a week. Then. he found his in
spiration-she was Rose Guecc)
daughter of a wholesale fruit mer-
chart of Boston They were married
in 1918.
Ponzi made his fortune of millions
in a few months trading in interna-
tional money orders and stamps.
Ponzi bought stamps abroad and
sold them at a profit in Boston, TAX
ing advantage of the exchange rate.
A money order for a pound Sterling
can be bought in London for trifle
less than 81 American money. In
this country the order brought $4.S7.
Great Britain stood this loss until
the government hit upon the plan OF
stopping the practice by taxation.
In the same way an Italian five
cent piece could be bought for about
one cent American money. 1t could
be cashed here for five cents or
sold to stamp broker for something
over four cents.
In this manner, with money sup
piled by investors" in his schemes,
Ponzi amassed the huge fortune.

pealed to striking mine laborers in

which has closed most of the bit.
luminous mines in the two states =
may exist. the president said. He
added that he could not recommend
correction Of any inequalities until
the strikers returned to their jobs,
but that when they did so he would
invite the joint scale committee Of
operators and miners to meet for the
purpose of adjusting any such in.
.equalities.
The president issued his appeal in
the form of a telegram addressed to
the United Mine Workers Of Amer
ica after he had studied report on
the coal situation submitted by Sec
retary of Labor Wilson.
Points to Contract
Reports Of the strikes Of mine
laborers, particularly in Illinois, the
president said, had been received by
him with a feeling of regret and
sorrow" He declared that he was
distressed, not only because failure
at this time to mine coal in accord
ance with the terms of the existing
contract would result in suffering
during the coming winter, but ALSO
because the violation of the terms
of your solemn obligation impairs
your good name, destroys the conf.
dence which is the, basis of all mu-
tual agreement and threatens the
very foundation of fair industrial re-
lations." g.4e
Pointing out that the United Mine
Workers constituted the largest
single labor organization in the world
the president said, mo organization
could long endure that sets up it's
own strength as being superior to, its
plighted faith or it's duty to society
at large" - @

SECOND LEAGUE TICKET

qTo6~Vgy0 @@pSS. ~.
A second Nonpartisan league ticket
in the falls primaries, put forward by
the Jim WatersLeslie Simpson fac
tion Of the league is in the making, it
was learned today.
The plan, it is said, is to GUST Will
liam Lemke from his control of the
league organization in the state, as
well as to shake the iron grip OF
Townley on the whole organization:
Members Of the faction have spread
sensational stories of expositions
they intend to make, according to re-
ports in political circles.
Several men are said to have been
considered to make the race for Gov.
ernor on the third league ticket. 1t Is
reported that Obert Olson, state treas
urer, has been doomed for the place
by some men who want to overturn
the league leaders. but Olson's posi-
tion in the matter is not known.
Should the second league ticket get
in the field, the Bank Of North Da-
kota, of which Waters formerly was
manager, would come in for q lot OF
publicity during the campaign, it is
said. Stories of what Waters might
do in such campaign have been going
the rounds of political circles.

And with the funerals there was a
lot of jollificatiorf. After the mourn.

a regular jollification over the pro-
gress made by the anti-T0wnley forces
in the recent primary in the fight
against the present regime in the
state. s5
The state sheriff law was buried,
the smelling committee was put, in it's
grave, the absent voters law was given
last resting place, and the red flag
was buried and the Stars and Stripes
raised to the top Of t1ag-pole. The
burials were in the center Of the lake.
Torger SHINES, chairman of the
anti.Townley campaign in the pri-
mary; J. F. T. O'Connor, of Grand
Forks; Senator Al. Gronna, Carl

Automobiles were provided to- take
people who came by train from James

The independent forces could find
nothing but encouragement out of the
primary campaign. The small major
ity of the league candidates, and the
defeat of league measures and some
candidates was regarded by those
present as an omen Of future complete
