SCHOOL ELECTION OCTOBER 8

Marietta will be called on October
s to vote on the question of levying
an extra 25 cents on the hundred
dollars for the support of her schools.
The rate of taxation now is $1.10 on
the hundred and an extra % cents
added will bring the rate up to $1.35.
Certainly if any cause can justly ask
additional taxes it is that for school
uses. Our teachers have too long
been undergrad and our school facili-
ties have too long suffered for made
quate support. The present rate an
swered fairly well when prices of all
commodities were half what they are
now; but no longer will raise sufi-
cient funds for educating our child
rem.
In no other one item are so many
people interested as in sthe proper
school conditions. Few families fail
tc be Immediately concerned in the
education of one or more children
and all are indirectly so concerned.
In the excitement incident to the
election for governor on October g..
let us not forget that we are immed-
lately and primarily interested in
that two days later for keeping Mari
etta's schools on the very highest
plane possible. Make up your mind
now to be on hand and vote for the
children's interests.

Danbury. Dec. 23.--It has been dis covered that an explosion in the busi- ness section of the city early today was the result of an accumulation of gas in the base of a steel pole of the ornamental electric lighting system. The gas had leaked into the hollow pole, from a neighboring gas main and the discharge was like that of a can- non. Belief that the detonation was the result of the work of safe blowers led the public to make an exhaustive but fruitless search.

washington, Aug. 17.-Congress.
"hen 1t meets in December, may face
a request on the part of the federal
pfomblt1on officials for authority to
destroy 50,0O0,000 gallons of LIQUOR
stored in this country under bond.
some OF the prohibition enforce
ment officials, including Prohibition
Commissioner Kramer, believe abso-
lutte prohibition cannot be achieved
while bonded warehouses, bullying
with liquor, exist thruout the coun-
try, presenting continual temptation
to violation of the law.
The prohibition enforcement Of
flclals point out that 100000 worth
OF bonded liquors were stolen in
various sections Of the country last
week, most Of it being seized by
hlghwaymen who held up truckloads
or the liquor being transferred from
one warehouse to another.
OFFICIALS also call attention to the
fact that most liquor now being sold
Illegally came out Of the bonded
warehouses in some. mysterious man
ner. If the bonded liquor were de-
stroyed this big difficulty would be
removed, they argue
Federal prohibition officials now
have no authority to destroy confis-
Gated liquors except where law vio-
lations are detected.
They will put the plan Of disposi-
ton OF the vast stores up to congress
when 1T convenes in December. This
may prove the beginning Of a new

Claims That He Has $4,00o000 in
Assets Not Verified.

Boston, Aug. 17.-Five million dol
lars was set as the probable amount
of the public's money intrusted to
Charles Ponzi and not returned by
him before his get-rich quick bubble
was burst last week. Edwin L..
Pride, federal auditor, explained that
his preliminary report of liabilities
aggregating $7,0O0,O00 was based on
the face value of the un-edeemed
notes issued by Ponzi, which called
for SO per cent profits in ninety days.
The actual money represented in
these liabilities, he said, would be be-,
tween $4,500,000 and $5,000,000.
What proportion of the debts of
the discredited financier are covered
by his available assets was still in
doubt. State and federal officials,
pursuing independent Investigations,
said they were unable to say how
nearly correct Ponzi's statement that
he has S4,O00,OO0 in ready assets
would prove to be.
/ Should he be able to produce such
a sum, the public loss would be rel
atively small, but it was pointed out
that aside from such expenditures as
he may have made for personal pur-
poses, all inquiries to date have failed
| to disclose any source of profits to
defray the SO per cent bonuses given
early depositors, except the invest
ments Of those who came after them.
Receivership proceedings which
will be brought in court tomorrow
are expected to result in a co-ordin-
alton of activities to run down Pom
zis assets. Thru the receivers to be
appointed, officials said, an attempt
undoubtedly will be made to mar
shal these assets and TO obtain for
the benefit of present creditors the
large profits received by those whose
