    HIGH FINANCIER
DEFIES CHARGES
OF DETRACTORS
Continues to . Pay Off Huge
Sums to Investors
Run Doesn't Worry
Him. "
Boston, Aug. 4. Boasting that
he had met a. run never before
equalled in the' history of finance
and continuing to pay off all m
veitor who demanded the return
of their money, Charlie Ponii, the
"postage stamp millionaire, today
hurled defiance at his detractors.
Ponri said he had disbursed
nearly $4,000,000 in five days.
"People have admired my nerve
he said, and smilingly added, and
my smile is prompted by a clear
conscience. This run cannot af
fect my serenity I have more than
double enough money to meet it.
Ponri was summoned to the of
fice of Attorney General Allen, as a
result, it was stated, of his failure
to keep an agreement with Mr.
Allen to visit him either Saturday,
Sunday or today.
Question Publicity Man.
- While the "money king;' was
making his statement, in which he
said that drastic steps should be
taken to bring the guilty to an
accounting, William M. McMasters,
his former publicity man, who ac
cused him in a signed article in
a local newspaper this morning
with oeing insolvent, was being
questioned by lederai autnonues.
McMasters took part in a confer
ence with Assistant United States
Attorney Shea aod Postoffke In
spectors Mosby, Hall, Dakin, at
which his published statement with
regard to Ponzi was discussed.
"So far as being insolvent is con
cerned, I absolutely deny the allega
tion," Ponri declared in a statement
issued after a conference with his
attorneys.
Sayi Enemies Are Mad.
"There is a desire to embarrass
the investigators; a desire to turn
public opinion against me, and a de
sire on the part of others to even
tually cover something which a fa
vorable investigation of my affairs
might disclose to their detriment. It
is fully apparent that there is noth
ing but malice back of the statement
that Mr. McMasters and others
have so widely published.
"I do not ask the public to re
frain from demanding ofame pay
ment of their matured notes or un
matured notes. AH I ask is that
'they come in an orderly manner. I
have enough to pay in(full,as I have
done ait the past week. v My re
sources;' are stronger thaftj the re-i
sources of certain other interests.
Pays Out Millions.
"I doubt very much whether any
other individual or grOTip of indi
viduals would have faced for five
days a run which amounted to more
i than $3,500,000. , .. s
"The story that my payments have
not exceeded $60,000 a day is untrue.
From one certain amount the with
drawal was $1,872,234.12. 'In addi
tion, from my own personal' ac
counts my payments amounted to
approximately $900,000. From an
other personal account the same
amounted, to $50,000. All these pay
ments have been made in the city
of Boston."

Bolshevik Eggs Selling -For
50 Roubles a Basket
Vladivostok, Siberia, Aug. 4.
Fifty rubles a basket sounds like a
big price to pay for eggs But the
sound is the only big thing about
the price, for the baskets in ques
tion contain 200 eggs and 50 rubles
above mentioned are worth, in good
American money, about 15 centss A
little rough calculation based on the
above figures, shows that the im
ported Manchurian eggs which sell
in Vladivostok for 50 rubles a bas
ket cost, in American terms, some
thing like less than 1 cent a dozen.

The Weight
THE supremacy of the Pianola over all other Players was
positively settled when the great Steinway Piano Company de
cided that none other but the genuine DUO-ART Pianola would
be allowed installed in a STEINWAY Piano.
Everybody who makes a Player will claim his product is the
best, but can any other manufacturer corroborate it? "When, how
ever, STEINWAY & SONS puts its seal of supremacy upon the
DUO-ART Pianola it should convince not only the unbiased, but
also the most skeptical
We are sole distributors for the DUO-ART Pianolas. Our
prices are positively the lowest in the United States our terms
the easiest.
Remember, the DUO-ART Pianola is installed in the STEIN
WAY, WEBER, CEO. STECK, WHEELOCK and STROUD Pianos
only.
We have them on display as well as many other types

There is a great difference between an ordinary Player Piano

N. Y. DEMOCRATS
SEEK CHANGE IN
THE VOLSTEAD ACT
State Convention Adopts
Platform Calling for Modi
fication to Permit Beer
and yiines.
Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Aug. 4.
A proposed plank calling attention
to the 2.75 per cent beer law adopted
by the 1920 legislature was included
in the completed platform draft to
be submitted to the democratic un
official state convention at the clos
ing session today.
In the platform committee's de
liberations advocates a plank en
dorsing tne bill and recommending
similar national legislation were op
posed by delegations who believed
the beer plank was too much at
variance with the prohibition stand
of the national platform. The com
mittee finally adopted the clank. 21
to 9. A fight on the convention floor
was threatened.
Modification of the Volstead nra-
liibition enforcement act, recpgnition
of the Irish republic, affirmation of
faith in the national democratic plat
form, and endorsement cf the nomi
nation of Cox and Roosevelt, en
thusiastic commendation of Gover
nor Smith's administration of state
affairs, reorganization of the state
government by consolidation of ex
isting departments, creation of an
executive budget system, a four
years term for governors, belief of
the people in direct primaries, home
rule for cities and state development
ot hydro-electric power are the prin
cipal planks of the platform sub
mitted by the committee on resolu
tions. The plank on the Volstead act
follows:
"We favor an amendment to the so
called Volstead, act that will make
operative he act passed by the state
legislature and signed by Governor
Smith defining non-intoxicating bev
erages and providing for th? regula
tion of their sale. -
"We' favor an amendment to the
national constitution whereby all
amendments to the constitution of
the United States hereafter pro
posed shall be ratified by a referen
dum of the whole people and not by
the legislatures of the several
states."

addressing local suffragists at a

"We do not want to take the en
franchisement away from men. -We

heirs and share ours, once we get
it," she continued.
"Here I am with 11 grandchil
dren and white hair endeavoring to
secure what every man in the coun
try has as a gift. .
"We women are not going to be
used as fodder for political ma-
chines."

Grajevo, Poland, Aug. 4. Today
we crossed'the East Prussian fron
three regiments of Russian cavalry
tier to Grajevo, where we found
and front line troops. Now that I
have seen both sides, my wonder is
increasing how the Russians could
have won the war.
Before going across the line I was
told by Lithuanian guards that ".he
Russians were an army of beggars,
but I did not expect to find Bu-
denny's legendary knights, who have
blazed the way from the Crimea to
Kief and from Kief to Grodno, such
a ragged, starved, disreputable look
ing crowd as they are.
One of the cavalrymen was
dressed in mufti, while his com
panion was in a unitorm. J saw
round hats, bearskin ' Jiats (the tem
perature is about 80 Fahrenheit),
derbies and slouch hats, sport
clothes, fur coats and those peculiar
brimmed caps that the Polish Jews
wear.
Nondescript Lot.
I saw one British uniform and
seven Polish hats and uniforms on
the first few Russians that I met.
Surely it was a nondescript lot, but
they had one thing in common the
red star insignia of the red army,
which each wore on his blouse or
cap.. i
Victor Dealers Gather

Prussian frontier. His account Is the first
been Dermltted to visit the active army, and
since the reorganisation which wiped out
tne rea armies:
The men were dirty and ragged,
and the small Cossack horses were
not groomed, but were caked with
:he mud of a thousand miles. I saw
.100 horses and their riders, but not
one of them was dressed or fitted
according to the standard of either
side of the war in trance. Unly
rifles and ammunition were in
plenty, and one Cossack showed me
a Taoanese carbine and bullets, and
even a knapsack, proud souvenirs of
a DoisneviK rata in sioeria.
Iron Discipline.
An iron discipline everywhere
prevailed. .The officers were well
dressed in uniforms. Writh them was
a civilian commissar, who really is
superior to the otticers, and watches
them. When the Russians pulled
out of Grajevo they requisitioned
supplies, but they paid in soviet
rubles and did not plunder nor con
fiscate anything. Only one car ot
flour was broken into.
In looking over the Russian army
I cannot understand what has been
urging them from victory to victory
throughout the last two years. Per
haps it is their discipline. Perhaps
it is fear of starvation, if they do
not Win. I know the men feel that
they have to conqquer new territory
in order to obtain food, because
there is none at home. That is whv
I am doubtful if the army will quit
conquering when an armistice is
signed and word given to return to
Russia.
George Mickel of Omaha also
made a talk on subjects out of
his long experiences with the Victor
concern and the various artists who
sing and play for its records.

TEMPERAMENT IS
BLAMED FOR THE
CHAPL1NS' ROW
Wife of Famous Comedian;
Declares She Will Go On
Legitimate Stage In Very
Near Future.
New York, Aug. 4. Simultanr
ously with receipt of advices fron,
Los Angeles that her attorney had
filed suit for divorce for her from
her husband, Mrs. Mildred Harris
Chaplin, wife of Charlie Chaplin,
announced that she intends to de
sert the movies for the legitimate.
Mrs. Chaplin refused to discuss
the divorce at all, but said of Char
lie: "He worries and frets all the time,
He worries about his income tax,
about his bills, his contracts, about
everything. Besides that, he's an
artist, a real one, and you know all
artists have temperament. I'm
temperamental myself. But he's
just naturally erratic."
Works on Picture. 4
Mrs. Chaplin arrived here Sunday
and expects to remain about three
months, working on a picture here
her last, she says.
Mrs. Chaplin also declared that
living with a professional funny
man is anything but amusing. , But
that was by the way.
"I feel so erMUpuraged by my two
last pictures," lsaid the film star,
"especially by the one which will
have its premier here Thursday,
"Woman in th House,' that I think
I. now may look forward to the
'legitimate' hopefully that is, of
course, if we are able to make all
the right business arrangements.
Silent on Divorce.
Mildred Harris Chaplin has lost
none of the fresh charm that was
her's when she astonished the film
World and its fans by marrying the
comedian.
Upon the subject of her domes
tic difficulties she is pursuing a pol
icy of silence. However, she did
make shift to remark that too much
temperament had upset the Harris
Chaplin marriage.
She listened with a smile to a bit
of gossip concerning Charlie's al
legedly present low state of mind.
Friends of both members of the
family have told how the famous
Chaplin smile is for the camera only
these days. Other things have been
said about the comedian, head in
hands, brooding apart in manner
most uncomedian.
