ANOTHER PONZI.LIKE
 PLAN IS SHATTERED
Jersey City Jugglcr Juggles Three Millions During Past
 Five Years

Jersey City, N. j., March tPt--- Another Pon2i-llko plan for amass- Ing a fortune in international ex- change was shattered.
 Paul Cuomo today was held with out bail in police court while police investigated the method by which he iuggled S3000,o00 in the last five years. His scheme was similar 10 that with which Charles Ponzi startled the world. Cuomo has confessed, police said, that his hundred or more victims will lose from $75,0O0 10 s?00,o00, for he Is short that amount after his kalcidoscopic financial ventures.
 Many of the victims live in Newark,
 Elizabeth and New York city, the police said.
 Cuomo. who Is married and has two children, said he invested the money entrusted 10 him in Italian lras. The high rate of interest he paid was one of the chief causes of his collapse. He said he returned more than s6o,000 last month, but that much of 1t was money given him by other investors. The flnancer was arrested in t

 This ENcning,

New York, March : tP) -- The ten days shor" leave granted the Countess Of Cathcart in her fight to enter tho Cnitcd States despite an order barring her for moral tur- pitul"" is up at II o'clock tonight.
 Therr vas much doubt today, hAwrycr as 10 whether the night would find the countess on Ellis Island again or in her suite at the Hotel Ambassador.
 The $500 personal bond which she signed on her release from the island declares that she must sur rcndor 10 Commissioner of Jmmi- grafton Curran at the expiration of her leave "as requircd.' No order directing her to return has been is- sued as yet. Such an order, Ellis Island officials say, must come from Washington,
 Hearing on the countess writ Of hahcas corpus has been postponed until Friday. Unless she returns 10 the island meanwhile, Federal At- tornoy Buckncr doesn't s"c how application for such d writ can be argued.
 Arthur Garfield Hays thc coun- t"ss' attorney, says he is anxious that Ellis Island authorities accept her custody in charge that there may bn no technical decision 10 prevent argument on the moral turpitudn issue.
