THINK CRASH OF
PONZI DEALINGS
NOW COMPLETE
No . Further Bank Closings
Looked for, Commissioner
Says Officials Still
s Held in Jail.
Boston, Aug. IS Assurance that
no farther bank closings are likely
to result from the collapse of the
financial dealings of Charles Ponzi
was given last night byjoseph C.
Alltn, state bank commissioner.
"1 again state that the Hanover
Trust company and the Polish In
dustrial association are the only
banking institutions in New Eng
land known to be affected by the
Tonzi failure, he said.
The Polish Industrial association,
conducting a private bank, steam
ship agency and other accommoda
tions for immigrants, was taken over
by the commissioner today. Henry
H. C'lmif linski, its president, is also
president of the Hanover Trust
company, closed earlier.
Mr. Allen said affairs of the in
stitutions were "hopelessly interwo
cn;" that the Polish association had
exhausted virtually all its cash and
that its loans were either bad or
doubtful.
Ponzi Still in Jail.
Ponzi and the three officers of
the Old Colony Foreign Exchange
company, the "100-per-cent-in-six-months"
concern, arrested yester
day, are still in jail. The three of
ficers are Charles M. Brightwell,
Raymond Meyers and Fred Meyers,
ivimuel corn, an agent ot the ror
cif4n Exchange company, was re,
le:sed on $2,000 bond.
Definite clarification of Ponzi's af
fairs is looked for if petitions for
receivers for his Securities Exchange
company are granted by the federal
court. A hearing will be held Tues
day. .
Bankruptcy petitions were filed
jaagainst the Old Colony foreign lix
n change company today. Branch of
Ifices in several New England cities

Many Demand Money.
The offices of Attorney General
J. AV. Allen were crowded today
v ith note holders of the Securities
Exchange cefmpany and the Old
Colony Foreign Exchange company.
Manv visitors void angry demands
for the return of their money.
Presentation of notes already has
disclosed liabilities on Ponzi's com
pany of $2,000,000; Many notes
sent ,by mail have not been exam
ined.
Possibility of a shakeup in the po
lice department as a result of the
bursting of the Ponzi financial bub
ble was seen in a statement issued
bv Police Commissioner Edwin U.
Curtis. He said it had been called
to the attention of . officials that
members of the department had in
vested with Ponzi and that it was
renorted some had acted as agents
and received commissions. Members
foand to have broken the rules re
garding engaging in .outside busi-
ncsses or accepting rewards or gifts

BOY SAVED FROM
LIFE OF CRIME
BY OPERATION
Considered Incorrigible, Boy
Sjiows Moral Improvement
After Rart of Typhoid
Gland Is Removed.
v (By International KenV Service.)
Denverug. 15. Believed to have
been sav from a life ol crime by
the removal of part of an enlarged
thyroid gland in his throat, Maurice
Alterson, Denver's 10-year-old "ruu
away," is. speedily recovering his
physical strength and, it is con
fidently hoped by juvenile court ot
fifers, the mental poise ordinarily de
veloped in youths of his age.
Maurice has been considered in
corrigible, and his many escapades
led Juvenile Court Judge Ben Linu
sey to direct an examination into his
mentality in the belief that the boy's
habit of running away was due to
some psychopathic cause rather than
any inherent "badness."
Had Brains of Man.
Mental experts declared that
Maurice had the brain of a man
past his majority, despite his 10
years.,
Maurice, the incorrigible, fell
asleep at St. Joseph's hospital amid
the dazzling expanse of , strange
white tables and the mystifying
fumes of ether. When he awoke sev
eral hours later his norm of men
tality had been reduced 11 years and
the world has been relieved of a
potential master criminal, according
to the medical experts.
Previous to the operation Maur
ice's 21-year-old mentality, co
ordinated by the judgment and will
power of a boy 10 years, resulted
in his getting into all sorts of
trouble. The mischief that he per
petrated, guided by the clever-man-mind,
was more effective than any
that could be devised by an ordinary
boy.
Young Alterson is motherless. His
father, a New York Hebrew, came to
Denver seeking health. He placed
Maurice in a home as the only means
of having him cared for and having
his wild tendencies curbed.
Ran Away Repeatedly.
Running away was Maurice's chief
accomplishment, and he effected his
escapes in every case with a finesse
and intricicy of detail that made his
apprehension almost impossible and
which showed him to be a calculat
ing and extremely accurate thinker.
Several weeks ago Maurice at
tracted much attention when, after
one of his numerous escapes from
the detention home, he was caught
in Texas and brought back to Den
ver. This was his sixth escape in as
many months. When captured,
Maurice was found to have made a
map of his proposed travels, in
cluding rontes from Denver to Fort
Worth and El Paso. Tex., and to
Los Angeles, Cal., and various sec
tions of Montana. After a taste of
the "wild -and' woolly" Maurice
planned to go to New York City.
Several veteran railroad men pro
nounced this map one. of the finest
route maps they ever saw, declaring
than an experienced railroad man,
traveling the same route, could
hardly improve upon ' Maurice's
work. The map was made entirely
from knowledge found in railroad
time tables.
It was this map that prompted

Judge Lindsey in having an, ex
amination of the boy made by med-
ical experts, who later declared that
he had a mentality 11 years in
advance of his physical age. Follow
ing the operation for tlie removal
of a part of the entarged gland, it
was announced that the over-development
of this gland was .-
sponsible for the boy's mentality
maturng but of all proportion 'to his
moral and physical being. It is said
that the operation was entirely suc
cessful, and it is expected -that in
the future Maurice will be just an
ordinary youngster with a young
ster's capacity' for mischief, without
the desire to be a "runaway."
PRICE OF HATS DUE
FOR A SLUMP, SAY
RETAIL MILLINERS
Women's Hats Will Be
Cheaper This Fall Than
For Several Years.
New York, Aug. 15 Here's good
news for the women who haven't
had any such tidings about prices
in many a long day. At the fashion
show of the Ketail Millinery Asso
ciation of America it was said that
hats are going fo be cheaper this
fall than for several years. Dealers
from every part of the country at
tended the show, and they were
generally jubilant over the prospects
for lower prices for the hats which
ordinarily are quite beyond the reach
of the average purse.
The gowns and hats worn by the
models at the show made the slim
ones look pleasingly plump and the
fat ones look delightfully svelte.
Then there were other models who
were neither too slight nor too fat,
but who looked absolutely all right
in the fall fashions. The association
is conducting a national educational
campaign among. women to show
them that any figure, dressed care
fully may be made to look attractive.
There were some hats from Paris,
but those designed in this city were
said by experts to be just as wonder
ful as the foreign creations. Most
of the hats were designed by three
young men who, it was said official
ly, draw salaries of $40,000, $60,000
and $100,000 a year, and who lived
in small towns in Missouri, Indiana
and Ohio as late as three years ago.

KAISER IS MAD,
SPA RESIDENTS
ARE CONVINCED
Townsmen Tell of Strange An
tics of Former German War
Lord Before His
Abdication.
London, Aug. 15. G. Ward Price
telegraphs from Spa to the Daily
Mail:
That the ex-kaiser is mad, and has
been so for years, is the sincere be
lief of the good people of Spa, whose
unwelcome townsman he was for
many months before the day he
signed his abdication on the very
table so they, say in the Hotel
Britannique at which the heads of
the British peace delegation later
took their meals.
There was a butcher in the main
street of Spa who was walking
through the woods one Sunday aft
ernoon in the summer of 1918, and
came suddenly upon a fleshy, elderly
man in. his shirt sleeves, with bare
arms, and a pick in his hand, who.
in company with others similarly
dressed and equipped, was occupied
in turning a little stream from its
course with all the eagerness of a
child making sand castles on the
beach.
The butcher stared in surprise at
these elderly mudlarks, for it never
occurred to him that one of them was
the German emperor and two of the
others were a famous general and
Prince Mctternich. Suddenly he was
addressed with an imbecile affecta
tion of dignity by one of the grubby
diggers.
Emperor of World.
"Boujour, monsieur. Take off your
hat. You are in the presence of the
emperor of the world. And now,"
added the kaiser, as the startled
butcher sheepishly complied, "go and
forget forever-what you have seen."
As another hobby , of his Stay at
Spa, when the German communiques
Were constantly assuring' the troops
that their supreme war lord was per
sonally present at their battles, the
kaiser used to stuff his pockets with
leaves or with pebbles, whicn he
would throw into the air as he
walked.
He sent for a German woman
friend to join him in Spa. Quarters
were provided for her in the Villa
Pompeia. Shewas tall, handsome,
nnl hptween 30 and 35 years of age.
"The Emperor's Spy," was the nick
name the townspeople gave her.
Entertained Woman.
She would disappear whenever
the empress came to visit her hus
band at Spa, but at other times the
kaiser would go out riding with her
in the woods that surround the
town. One of his orders was that the
branches overhanging the paths
through the woods should be
lopped off so that he should not
need to. bow his head as he cantered
along. And far and wide every day
thel forests round Spa were searched
by secret service men to ensure his
safety.
Though allied airplanes never
bombed German headquarters here,
the great dread of the kaiser's life
was air raids. He had three villas
reserved for himself at Spa, and was
continually changing from one to
the other. At the Villa Neubois,
where Marshal Foch and M. Mil
Irrand stayed recently, the kaiser's
dug-out, with its steel strong-room
door, made to open in two parts in
case a fall of earth jammed it, is
the principal sight of the house.
When the imperial nerves were very
bad the kaiser lived in his train,
which- had an engine attached at
each end, with steam always up.
Mayor In Secret Service.
Baron Joseph de Crawhez, the
present mayor of Spa, 1 held the
same position all through the war,
though imprisoned and threatened
with execution. He was one of he
leaders of a Belgian secret service
organization which often succeeded
in getting early knowledge of the
plans of the German general statt.
Baron de Crawhez has all sorts
of souvenirs of the German occupa
tion of his town. One of them is a
map with which the German soldiers
quartered on him were provided,
representing how the German gov
ernment would re-make the map of
Europe when victory was won. He
gave the British premier a copy of
it the other day. It shows a Gross
Deutchland stretching from Petro
grad to the Pyrenees, with Great
Britian marked as a German colony
and Ireland as an Austro-Hungarian
colony.

TELEPHONING
ACROSS OCEAN
POSSIBLE SOON
Experiments in Wireless Tele
phony to Vastly Enlarge
Communicating Radius of
Vessels and Seaports.
By THOMAS WRIGLEY.
New York, Aug. 15. Wireless op
erators are keenly watching the
progress of the experiments in wire
less telephony by which, it is pre
dicted, it will soon be possible to
talk across the ocean; but not all are
eager for the day to arrive when it
will be "Hello, Mabel! How's things
in London This is Charley talking
in New York!"
In the big wireless offices in this
city, where the radio operators gatn
er while their ships are in port,
wireless telephony is one of the chief
topics of conversation.
Operators Discuss Wireless.
"For the love of Mike," one op
erator and yesterday, "all we'll be
pretty soon is 'hello girls' connect
ing up the passengers in their state
rooms with their friends at home."
The remark came after his friend,
just arrived in port, said he heard
singing, and victrola music all the
way from Denmark while he was on
a ship not far from the Atlantic
coast.
They are a strange "set," these
young men, most of them scarcely
out of their teens, who handle the
wireless on board the big JineiA.
There are Britons., and Scots a.d
Americans, and sharp-eyed Italians
from every port of importance and
as they gather in the wireless offices
they talk of strange things in the
most commonplace manner. To
them distance is only retkoned by
the strength of their wireless ap
paratus, and they tell of snatches of
conversation with their friends, who
are hundreds of miles away, even a
thousand or more, as a mere noth
ing, which, in truth, it is to them.
And there are other stories they tell,
too, which are not so pleasant, of
flashes across the watery wastes
from a friend they know on. board a
ship which is in distress shaijp sig
nals calling for assistance, repeated
over and over again. '
Tell Romantic Stories.
Many of the operators now in
charge of the wireless on board the
trans-Atlantic liners were in the ser
vice during the war, most of them
under the British flag, and they can
tell tales of many of their comrades
whose calls they sicked up while
feeling their way across the sub-infested
zones, telling of a torpedoing
and of a ship going down, but ask-
REDS AND ISLAM
UNITED FOR WAR
AGAINST ALLIES
Turk Leader Issues Appeal
Couched in Fiery Language .
Addresses People as
Communist Comrades.
Constantinople, Aug. 15. Musta
pha Kemal has issued his first hoi
shevist proclamation to his follow
ers in Anatolia, addressing them as
"Brothers of Islam and communist
comrades." It. is a long document,
couched in fiery language, dated
Angora, July 8.
"Unscrupulous statesmen," de
clares Mustapha Kemal, "being de
termined to destroy Turkey, have
thrown against her the most hated
of her enemies after disarming the
Turks and ignoring the armistice
which ensured fair treatment to an
honorable foe.
President Wilson Betrayed.
"They have betrayed President
Wilson s 12th principle, which guar
antees the right pi existence, doom
ing us to live in the clutch of our
traditional enemy. Communist com
rades, an abominable crime is about
to be perpetrated! The great pow
ers have decided to exterminate a
J fresh victim, whose blood will be
sucked by the capitalists of Europe.
"Our peasants are dying, weapon
in hand. They can be sure that the
days arc near at hand when Islam,
the ally of communism, will avenge
them."
The anger of the nationalists on
account of the defeat of- their forces
by the Greeks was vented against
Mustapha Kemal at a recent stormy
session of the parliament at Angora,
when he was summoned to explain
the unlocked for Greek advance
from Smyrna. According to the ac
count which reached me tonight, he
maintained his lofty attitude and
said:
An Impregnable Position.
"This is not the time for futile re
crimination. We must face the fu
ture confidently. It was natural
that the Greeks should obtain an
initial success. They went forward
covered by the guns f the 'British
fleet against poorly equipped and
badly organized troops holding an
outpost line. We have withdrawn
our main forces to a prepared line
of defense, which our general staff
declares to be impregnable."
The announcement that the Greeks
will remain in their present posi
tions has been received with dismay
by the belligerent supporters of
Mustapha Kemal here, who were
banking on their being lured into
the hills, where they would be at the
mercy of the guerrilla tactics of the
Kemalists.
