Bay State Legal
Head to Look Into
POnZi'S Florida Deals

Boston, Jan. 12.--(AP)-Attorney
General Jay r. Benton said tonight
that he had ordered an investigation
of Charles Ponzis enterprise, the
Charpon Land Syndicate of Jackson
vile, Fla, which opened a branch
yesterday.
The syndicate advertised a prob
able profit of 200 per cent in sixty
days in Florida real estate invest
ments. Andrew A. Highlands of the
state public utilities commission eX-
pressed the opinion that Caledonia
Alviti, local agent for Ponzi. would
be liable to prosecution under the
"blue sky" law as he is not a regis
tered salesman of securities.
A request that the syndicate be in
vestigated was made to the public
utilities commission to District At
torney O'Brien today by the Boston
Better Business Commission. The
district attorney said that his office
would act if any violation of the law
was found.
Alviti. who was reported tonight to
have gone to New York, said tonight
that he intended to apply to the pub
lie utilities commission for registra-
ton as salesman if there was any
question as to whether his status was
covered by the blue sky laws.
While these Investigations of the
syndicate We're being urged, Maurice
Caro-, former assistant district attor-
ney, who prosecuted the charges
against Ponzi growing out of his pre-
vious venture into high finance here
went before the supreme court tc
ask that arguments of exceptions ir
the case be heard this month. Ponzi
is on bail pending the supreme courts
ruling.

soaked. inebriated carp commanded
fancy prices here today. Thieves last
night entered Ringers delicatessen
store in the suburb of Charlotten-

liquor and a plentiful layout of eat
ables, and they RECALLED themselves
without stint
When thirst and appetite were sat

have grown tired of DRINKING plain
water.
When Klinger opened his store he
was amazed at the snap displayed by
his fish. Then came customers and
when they shifted the aroma arising
from the tank they purchased the
fish with avidity and fastened away
to put them ir the oven before the
flavor disappeared.

Graf, Montana
1--WE did not"
And why not?"
Because we had available the ori-
ginal files of the company"
The witness conceded that there
was delay Of a month or more in
the aluminium case because one of
the investigators assigned to 1t, Ex-s
aminer Benham, was at work on the
furniture cases in Chicago.
Senator Walsh read a letter writ
ten by the Cleveland office of the
aluminium company to the Pittsburgh
offlce, advising that goods be held
from the market when prices were
''unfavorable." Mr.. Donovan said
this had been inquired into and that
no other instance of the kind had
been disclosed nor was there evidence
that the recommendation had been
followed
The trade commission had been
convinced that the aluminium COM
pany refused to make contract for
specific date delivery of raw mater
ials because it did not want to de-
liver them to a competitor, but Mr.
1oAAOfaA oaiu tHS ldClS QlQ sup
port this conclusion"
AS to charges in the trade COM
nilsson report that the company de-
liberately delayed shipments to dam
age competitors, the witness quoted
Examiner Dunn as saying that none
of the manufacturers named in the
commissions report would affirm
that his business had been damaged
by "the discriminatory or arbitrary
practices Of the aluminium COM
pany
Answering a suggestion that the
aluminium company was unable tn
supply the trade because of a lack Of
material, Senator Walsh called at
tention that a senate committee had
fould that the company was allowed
100000 in plant depreciation. in
yolving tax of from 100000 to
100000, because of war time ex-
pansion of the plant. Mr.. Donovan
responded that the plant might be
"as big as all outdoors but could not
turn out the products unless it had
the raw materials.

some desultory remarks, Jessie B.
Warmer, of the operators repre-
sentatives referred to the proceed
ings of last week when the miners
were said to have told the operators
they lacked the courage to end the
negotiations This led to some sharp
remarks.
Mr.. Warmer said the operators
had the courage to adjourn the con-
| ference sise die and challenged any
i'of the International officers to second
the motion. HI said he preferred one
of these officers to second the motion
because 1t was they who called the
strike. This reference to calling the
strike was resented by the miners.
Finally George Hadesty, of the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company, the largest producing
company in the anthracite fields,
made the motion to adjourn without
day. The miners refused to second
IT, stating later to newspapermen
! that they were present to make a
contract, and the motion was Sec
onded by Thomas Thomas of the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company. The
motion was put and was unanimous
ly adopted. THIS came to an end
negotiations that were started in At
lantic City on July 8, broken off on
August 4, and resumed in New York
on December 20.
The announcement of the breakup
was left to the press representative
of the operators to make. 1t came
in a dramatic way. A large number
of newspapermen who had court
eously been given headquarters in
the Union League Club where the
Of bn11 tv,rr fo
word from the conference room,
when the Rev. ]. ]. Curran, Of Wilkes
Barre, Pa. appeared and announced
that he was submitting a new plan
to the miners and operators. AS he
was writing a note to the conferees
requesting an audience. the opera
tors representative suddenly appear
ed and simply said:
"The conference has adjourned
without day."
Instantly the news was flashed in
all directions and Father Curran
threw up his hands and exclaimed:
''This is terrible."
John L. Lewis then appeared and
with his stenographer at his side die
tated statement to the newspaper
men placing the responsibility for the
failure of the conference to agree and
for the continuance of the strike on
the operators. Then the operators
issued statement in which all the
blame for failure to settle was heap
ed upon the shoulders of the mine
leader, the employers stating that his
position was one Of "rule or ruin"
and that he wanted his "own way or
nothing"
The operators declared Mr.. Lewis
in the conference had said that the
producing companies might raise the
price of anthracite five dollars a ton
as long as he got what he wanted.
This statement was denied by
Thomas Kennedy, international Sec
retary- treasurer Of the miners, in
behalf of Mr.. Lewis.
1t was understood tonight that both
miners and operators, if summoned
to Washington. would respond. In
fact Major w w. Inglis, head Of the
operators committee, said his COM
| mittee would be glad to respond at
any time to any invitation of the

Massachusetts prison in the making
of automobile plates. They have a
superintendent and four skilled over
seers and made for that state close
to 100000 plates last year. Their
detailed cost sheet shows a cost,
counting all expenses, a 10 percent
depreciation, and labor at $3.50 per
day per laborer-materially less than
this State is now paying. The Mas
sachLsetts superintendent estimated
that we could install single unit for
$23.350. and that with this plant we
could employ from % to 80 men and
turn out around 100000 pairs of
plates per year, although the Mas
sachusetts plant, which cost about
$65,000 makes less than 100000 pairs
of plltes in year.
I'VE need about 10000 pairs of
automobile plates per year, SO that
we should be obliged to go into the
market with around 100000 pairs, al
lowing our output to be $4,000 pairs
instead of the estimate of 100000 by
the Massachusetts, superintendent.
This State pays 20 IL cents per
pair, or $33.750 for its 10000 pairs.
If we could make thine for Is cents,
we could save for the State $11,250
per year, and at the same time set
aside q reserve sufficient to entirely
renew the plant in 10 years.
''Of course all this il predicated
upon the assumption that the use of
steel plates, substantially like those
now in vogue, is to be continued.
Massachusetts has an industry for
the making Of aluminium ware, gall
vanized pals, ash-cans, garbage
cans etc We have rom uhero VIC
think such a plant could be installed,
and If all the State institutions would
buy Of us, with what we might be
able to sell to our neighboring states,
we could probably keep a dozen men
busy there"
The next session OF the governor
and council will be held Tuedsay,
