London, Jan. &c - (AP) - Great
Britain and Italy have come to set

statement issued this evening, read

Count Volpi Qtalian minister OF

AS yet the exact terms of settle

to assume, however, that the British
taxpayer will be greatly disappoint-

Count Volpi obtained were even bet

Northern Lights
Bother Telegraph
Wires Over Wide Area

New York. Jan. 26-(AP)-The au-
rora borealis kept up a ghost dance
on telegraph wires over the entire
country and stille was going strong
tonight.
Constant Interruptions from the
Arctic phenomenon were reported to-
night on all wires out of New York
as far west as SanF'rancisco and
south to New Orleans and into Tex
as. Veteran wire chiefs in New York
said the demonstration penetrated
farther into the south than any other
in the past 25 years.
The Interruptions lasted from few
seconds to seven and eight minutes,
during which the saunders licked a
tumble of flashes weird as spook
messages from the unwelcome visit
tor.
The Associated Press wires in New
York city and north to Albany and
west to Toledo were constantly af-
fected, while reports from other di-
visions said the same Interruptions
were being felt throughout the coun-
try.
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company reported similar dis
turbances on it's wires from Mont
real into Texas, while the Western
Union Telegraph Company had suf-
fered from it on wires as far away as
New Mexico. Wires running east and
west were apparently more affected
than the north and south wires, as
those from east to west cross the
magnetic field, and those from north
to south parallel 1t.

eral grand jury for conspiracy and
violation of the national prohibition

William V. Dwyer. former race track
owner and alleged head of the big
gest liquor syndicate in this country,
and ten of his higher-up confederates,
with bribery of government employees.
Dwyer and one of his lieutenants.
John J. McCambridge. were charged
with felony, in a third Indictment,
for sending twelve men to their
deaths in an unseaworthy ship on a
mission in the rum trade. Dwyer was
named in all three indictments.
The syndicate, international in
scope, was termed the backbone of
Rum Row" and was alleged to have
operated eighteen ocean-going steam
ers in the liquor trade. 1t was rep
resented as "s25.000,000 bootleg

CONVICT AGENT OF
PONzL UNDER BLUE
SKY Law BAY STATE

Boston. Jan. 2e-(AP)-An echo Of
the days when Charles Ponzi rose and
fell as a get-rich- quick international
coupon financier came today when
Caledonia Alviti, Boston agent of
Ponzfs Florida land syndicate, was
found guilty of violating the Massa-
chusetts blue sky law. In municipal
court he appealed a sentence of six
months in the house of correction and
was released in $1,000 bail.
Some three weeks ago Ponzi opened
q local branch of his Charpon Land
syndicate. which advertised a 200 per
cent profit in 60 days in Florida real
estate investments. The syndicate
was established by Ponzi ostensibly
TO enable those who had suffered from
the collapse OF his postal coupon
scneme to recoup their losses.
AN investigation of the Boston office
was ordered by the state authorities,
the charges that resulted alleged that
Alvlti engaged in the promotion of
Ponzfs certificates of indebtedness
which were not registered in the
state, and that he was not registered
as salesman of stock.
Kenneth B. Backman, manager of
the Boston Better Business Commits
sion, Inc, told of having invested SO
IN the Charpon Land Syndicate's
Jacksonville office. In return, he said,
he received certificate of indebted
ness. This, he testified, he sent back
Tor redemption either in land or in
cash and in return received a deed
Tor three lots of land with a stated
value or $50. He admitted knowing
that the deed was genuine and that
the land existed. He declared it his
opinion that the profit to investors
was not the advertised 200 per cent.
Backman explained that he went to
Alviti and obtained through him cir
culars, information and a form to fill
out. He was instructed to fill out
the form. write Alviti's name on the
back and make his purchase through
the Jacksonville office, he testified.
Willard Hirst, Boston newspaper
reporter, told of having interviewed
Alviti. of receiving a prospectus and
of seeing pile of circulars and a
book of blank certificates of indebted
ness. Alviti, he said, had told him of
selling a unit Of Indebtedness to an
Orient Heights resident.
Alviti denied having met Backman.
recalled meeting Hirst, but denied
telling him that he had made any sale.
He contended that he had never made
any sale of land or certificates of in
debtedness and denied that he ever
intended to do so.
