The man through whose facile
fingers slipped 10000, 900 or more,
largely in poor folks life savings, back
in the lush days Of 1920 when thou
sands Of investors literally battled to
entrust him with their all, couldn't t
even raise the $500 necessary to prose-
cute an appeal to the Supreme Court
from the decision ordering his depor-
tation.
It was back in 1920 that authorities
pricked the Ponzi bubble, vast and
intricate scheme for making so per
cent on 45-day investments, sent
Ponzi of to jail and plunged his
optimistic clients into despair.
Years before he had served q term
in Canada for forgery, but that had
been forgotten until the Federal Gov
ernment moved for his deportation
last February, and 1t was this prior
conviction which eventually tripped
him up.
His attorneys pleaded that his two
convictions in Massachusetts,, one in
the State courts and one in the Fed
eral, were only q single offence within
the meaning Of the statute that pro-
vides for the deportation Of an alien
twice convicted Of crimes involving
moral turpitude. The Federal prose-
cutor, however, pointed to the Can
adam conviction, and q Federal court
ruled Ponzi must leave.

The husband swallowed the lump
in hfs throat and started to cry.
Jimmy banged him on the back
hard, to buck him up, then the ele-
vator stopped at the floor and they
wheeled the stretcher on to take her
down tc the ward.
The rest of them went back into

with the husband for a minute. When
they were alone the kid took bottle

Jimmy's mask wasn't on straight,
and before they were half through,
any one could see that Jimmy was

place.
When they were done, the old
man called him over just after he
peeled off his gown. Let me smell

Then he said, Son, you're through

That's all that was ever said.
Jimmy Starr just walked out. and no

TRAFFIC CHANGES
ASKEDBY CITIZENS
Washington Highlands Unit
Protests Congestion on
Nichols Avenue

Traffic congestion on Nichols avenue
southeast between Sheridan road and
Good Hope road during the morning
and evening rush hours was discussed
by the Washington Highlands Citi-
gens' Association last night at It's
first meeting since Summer.
1t was pointed out by various men,
bers of the organization that between
7 and 9 am. and and pm. auto
mobiles are unable to pass the street
cars due to the narrowness OF the
street, caused by the parking OF cars.
One suggestion was that parking on
Nichols avenue be eliminated between
these hours. Miss Bessie B. Warren,
secretary of the association, was di-
rected to send letter to the director
Of traffic asking his attention.
BY unanimous vote the group de-
cided to join the Joint Conference of
Southeast Citizens Associations. w.
Earl Nair. president, and Harry Butler
and H. A. Yeager were selected as
delegates.
The nomination for officers was held
and w. Earl Nair and R. F. c. Ross
were named for president. Elections
will be held at the next meeting.
David A. Sills was installed as new
member.

in his home at 1919 First street

He Just walked out the door and
that was the last anybody ever saw
of him. He's supposed to be tending
lighthouse somewhere now.
The funny thing about 1t was
Jimmy Starr wasn't a drinking man.
He'd take a drink now and then with
the gang, of course, but no one ever
saw him the least bit tight. That
made it even harder to understand
when he got the sack the way he
did
1t really wasn't Jimmy's turn to
assist the old man that day, but
Slim Perry. whose trick it was, was
expecting his mother in town and
wanted to meet the train, so Jimmy
offered to pinch hit for him SO he
could get away. Jimmy was like
that, always helping everybody.
1t was an ambulance case that
caused all the trouble.
When it came in, 1t was already
pretty far gone and there had to
be pretty quick action. The Doc hap
pened to be clear up in B. so they
handed it to the old man. 1t was
a Caesarean case, and a mean one.
She was just little bit of a woman
and young, too. Looked like she
wasn't more than 18 or 19, and pretty
as a picture. Had to play with the
ether pretty careful with her heart
jumping all over the place, and finally
it took digitalis to get her over the
hump.
Something got under Jimmy Starr's
skin. Before they were half way
through, what you could see of his
face was as white as his mask and
his eyes had a funny far-away look
in them
The old mans fast worker,
though, and very good: he turned out
a swell job. And the kid was a
whopper-almost nine pounds.
When they wheeled her out the
husband was sitting in the corridor
by the elevators stiff as mummy
When he saw her face he sort Of
strangled and almost folded up.

To-Day TO capture killers who slaueh-
tered six persons attending a CAV party
IN Summer home.
lhree men were IN custody and were
questioned four hours, but police said
none OF them was suspected of being
the maddened slayers who stabbed
beat and shot the six victims to death
after binding them.
The topsy-turvy condition Of the
house and the absence of two diamond
rings, belonging to Mrs. Frank Flieder,
hostess at the party, led investigators
to adopt robbery as the most plausible
theory for the crime.
Bodies Of Six Found.
When police broke into the home
late Saturday they found the place
shambles. In various parts of the
house they found the bodies of:
Frank Fielder, As, owner of the
home.
Mrs. Anna Taylor Fielder, so, his
wife

ss Bert Vincent. the singing bar
tender" and former vaudeville player.
Mrs. Peggy Chenevert, 80, his wife.
Magnus Jordan, so, retired Navy
man and caretaker of Summer homes.
Fred Balloon, bartender at a Brem-
erton beer parlor.
All of the victims had been beaten
with blackjack and hammer. Some
of them had been shot. The Threats
Of both Mrs. Fielder and Balcom had
been slashed. Flieder's Jaw was broken,
his head had been hammered IL times,
and a knife thrust in the back of his

The tragedy was discovered when a

Millers' Farley Fails.
Disagreeing with the Farm Admin
istration on a stop-loss provision, the
National Federation of Millers has
broken off negotiations with the ad-
ministration on the millers' code of
fair competition.
The federation, in special bulletin.
said its representatives left after off,
Gals had attempted to impose GER
tain requirements upon the code
which the committee felt it could not
accept"
These requirements, the bulletin
said, concerned the stop-loss pro-
visions and would have "emasculated
the safety factors such as the mill
feed credit and yield figures"
The committee said a concession
on these points would result in elimi-
mating such protective factors in the
industry and it declined to agree to
them. 1t was proposed that the stop
loss figure be reduced from IS per
cent of the average cost to rs per
cent.
Another contributing factor to can
collation. of negotiations, the commit
tee said, was the inSistence of the
Farm Administration upon writing in
a provision concerning possible future
marketing agreements between millers
and the Government. The millers de-
clared "this is highly Objectionable
because it ties the hands of the mills
If any such agreement is proposed"
THE committees action does not
necessarily mean there will be no
milling code" the committee said.
Members added they are ready to re-
sumo negotiations when acceptable
conditions are provided by the Farm
Administration.

LIQUOR LICENSE
Claims No Opportunity Was Given
to Refute Witnesses at
Hearing.

The Petworth Pharmacy, located on
Georgia avenue near Roosevelt High
School and Mcfarland Junior High
School, filed suit in District Supreme
Court today to compel the issuance
of a class A retail liquor license by the
Alcoholic Beverages Control Board.
The petition, filed through Attorney
Joseph T. Sherier, says the board has
arbitrarily and capriciously refused
to issue the license. The Petworth
Citizens Association and representa-
tives of the Board Of Education op-
posed granting the license at a recent
hearing before the liquor board. The
pharmacy contends. however, that it
had no opportunity to cross-examine
witnesses or refute their statements at
that time.
Justice Oscar r. Luhring signed an
order requiring the liquor board to
answer the petition by April 10. This
is the second suit brought against the
board to compel it to issue q license.

authority of the Bible was substituted
for the authority Of the church, there
arose controversies which have lasted
