Write Appreciation to the Com- mercial Club for Fargo Trip BOOST, “FOR NEXT. YEAR The boys of the Burleigh county stock judging team, whose expenses to the Fargo fair were paid by the Bismarck Commercial club, have written letters to the business men expressing their appreciation of the opportunity given them. Lester Falk- enstein, of Baldwin, in a letter to the club says: “Owing to the fact that I was help- ing a neighbor I have delayed writ- ing you to inform you-how much | appreciated the trip to Fargo which I enjoyed and will always remember. I was impressed with the fine look- ing cattle and know now I never saw FAT cattle before. I am sorry we did not win a better place in the contest but hope the training I’ve had this year will be of benefit next year if I -am allowed to compete. Thanking you for the splendid assist- ance received from the Commercial Club to defray our expenses.” Worth The Cost. Leland Perkins, of Wilton, wrote’ “As one of the three boys of the Burleigh County Stock Judging team that went to Fargo, I wish to thank you for your interest in us, and for the money given by the Bismarck Commercial Club to defray our ex- penses. “We did not score as high as we had hoped but must say that I had a splendid good time and feel that it was worth all it cost to go to the State Fair. “The knowing of good stock when one sees them. is, I feel, of great value.” Fine Trip. Herbert St. Peter, of Regan, said: “T am writing to express my sin- cere thanks for the interest you have taken and are taking in the boys in the stock judging team of Burleigh county. “We had a very pleasant and inter- esting trip and saw some real live- stock. ‘We are very sorry and very much ashamed of our poor standing. The stock judging teams from other counties that were there last year were there this year, so naturally they had the experience that we were low on.” Sterling Man Here. Martin Manson, of Sterling, was iu the city on business the other day. Three Appeals Filed. Three appeals from minimum wage rules of the bureau were filed with Charles J. Fisher, clerk of the district court, yesterday afternoon. The firms making the appeals are: The North Dakota Laundry Owner's Association, The North Western Tet- ephone Co., and the Tri-County Tele- phone company acting with other. smaller companies.

Sixteen laundries throughout the state, including the Bismarck laun- dries, are members of the associa- tion filing its appeal. Bangs, Ham- ilton, and Bangs, attorneys of Grand Forks, are handling the case for the telephone companies and laundries. Under the orders of the minimum wage commission a minimum wage |for women becomes operative on | Aug. 16 in practically all occupations in which women are engaged. The appeals made’ do not ‘operate to sus- pend the wage board’s orders for a ; minimum wage. 350 POUNDS IS WEIGHT OF NEW TRAFFIC POSTS Automobile drivers will do well to avoid the new “Keep-to-the-right” | signs which the city will soon place on various corners. The new posts resemble the old ones, but have a conical base, made of concrete. which weighs somewhere around 350 pounds. The new bases will hold the posts in position and | prevent any inexperienced or frivilous drivers from damaging the traffic sig- nals by running into them. ‘FORECAST 1920 CANADIAN CROPS Ottawa, Canada, Aug. 14—Canada’s 1920 wheat crop was estimated by officials of the agricultural depart- ment today at 262,338,000,000 bushels as compared with the final estimate of 193,260,000,000 last year.

Can’t Reach City The roar of the artillery on the bat- tle front could be plainly heard in Warsaw Friday. The Russians have brought up artillery in the region of Radvymin, just south of the Bug. Ob- servers say, however, that the enemy has not yet got in position guns heavy enough to reach this city with their fire. On the northwestern front along the Bialystok road the Rus- isians were 21 miles from Warsaw, ‘this morning’s newspapers reported. Warsaw, (Friday, by the Associat- ‘ed Press.)—Poland’s peace delega- tion. consisting of 16 members, mili- ‘tary aides, clerks, etc., prepared late itonight to leave for the battlefront to meet representatives of the Rus- sian Soviet government. Up until a late hour tonight there has been no response from Moscow to a wireless dispatch naming the newspaper cor- respondents who were to accompany the Polish delegation. Announce- ment was made at 8 o'clock that correspondents would not be permit- |ted to go to the front unless word allowing them to travel came from the Bolshevikis. se Four of the delegates will be mili- tary officers, six will be foreign of- fice representatives, councillors and advisers and six will be diet leaders. Members of the mission are to as- ing, and it is probable they will start soon afterward toward Siedle. This side of that town the delegation will meet Soviet representatives who will escort the Poles probably to Minsk. and} of the company and file a full report: ordered represent an increase of one-; half cent per kilowatt hour for elec-| ¢ the Republi 100,..7.5,.cents..and,all over, 500 kiloc| thesoaanaovore Saerrnabitecquon BOOM OF GUNS semble at 3 o'clock Saturday morn- | COX LAUNCHES FIERCE ATTACK ON OPPONENTS Accuses Republicans of Trickery in Trying to Defeat the League of Nations ALSO REFERS TO SENATORS Franklin Roosevelt, Speaking in South Dakota Today, Enters ‘North Dakota Monday + Chicago, Aug. 14.—Senator War- ren G. Harding, Republican nom- inee for President, will speak at the Minnesota state fair on Sep- tember 8, it was announced today. The speech is not to be a “parti- san-political” one but probably will be on an agricultural topic ad- dressed to Minnesota farmers. Wheeling, W. Va., Aug. 14.—Gover- ‘nor Cox today opened fire on his Re- | publican opposition charging its lead- ership with “attempted trickery” of the American people in opposing the ; league of nations and with conducting a campaign behind a “smoke screen” to secure partisan spoils. _ That “a powerful combination of in- | térests is now attempting to buy gov- ernment control” also was asserted by the Democratic presidential candidate, charging that “millions and millions” were being raised in campaign contri- butions, Talks to Convention The Governor loosed his attack in an address here at the West Virginia Democratic convention. It was the first vigorous assault on the Republi- cans and was to be followed tonight by another address made to the gen- eral public. Although advocacy of the league of nations, which the governor declares was “the greatest movement of righte- ousness in the history of the world” was the main theme of the Democratic candidate, he also attacked again the “republican senatoria! oligarchy.” The Democrats, he, added, present a cause of “constructive, progressive, economic service in;peace” and prom- ised definitely a saving of $2,000,000,- 000 annually in government expenses. ROOSEVELT IN‘NORTHWEST St. Paul, Aug. 14.—Declaring the Republican attitude on suffrage and the league of nations “is as clear as mud.” Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Dem- ocratic #ce Presidential nominee, leat night expressed: wonder as to ow tion can possibly maintain business confidence.” His address at the auditorium here followed a noon address in Minneap- olis, where he declared Senator Hard- ing was “trying to syndicate the pres- idency,” a condition under which, he; said last night, “a few of the ‘old | guard’ crowd would get in on the | ground floor.” Mr. Roosevelt referred to Senator Harding’s position on the suffrage question as indicating the Republican presidential candidate “apparently is careful to wait until the last moment before committing himself to any definite policy” on an issue. Referring to divergent interpreta- tions which “two great Republican dailies in New York” placed on Mr. Harding's attitude toward the league of nations, Mr. Roosevelt said: “Apparently the Republican offer is this: ‘You can pay your money and take your choice.’ In Fargo Monda: Mr. Roosevelt left for Sioux Falls, S. D., where he spoke today. He also will talk at Mitchell and Salem, S-D., returning here Sunday and going to Fargo, N. D., for an address Monday. | BANKER SHOOTS SELF AT GRAVE .

LOWER HOUSE With Victory in Tennessee Sen-} SECOND PONZI COMPANY HELD IN BANKRUPTCY Bank Commissioner Closes In- dustrial Association, Say- ing Cash Is Gone FOUR ARE UNDER ARREST Get-Rich-Quick Schemes Result in Rush of Depositors to Get Money Boston, Aug. 14.—Bankr” Commis- sioner Joseph C. Allen today took charge of the affairs of the Polish Industrial association conducting a private bank at 37 Cross street in this city. Henry H. Chielinski, President of the Hanover Trust com- pany, the chief depository of the Charles Ponzi, which was closed last Wednesday by the commissioner is president of the industrial associa- tion. Bank Commissioner Allen said that the loan of the association were either bad or of doubtful value ana there was virtually no cash left. He said his affairs were hopelessly in- terwoven with those of the Hanover Trust company. The capital of the association is $13,775.00 and it had deposits of about $350,000. Four Behind Bars Four men who have accepted mil- lions of dollars from New England investors in the last few months, on promises of payment of fabulous in- terest, are behind the bars. Ponzi, whose spectacular financial dealings have made his name known” the country over and three officers of the Old Colony Foreign Exchange !company were arrested, taken into ‘the municipal court and held on $50,- 1000 bonds each on a technical charge of larcency of $500 from persons un- known. In default of bond they spent last night in jail. They are Charles M. Brightwell, president and treas- urer of the concern; Fred Meyers, |sales agent. All three pleaded not guilty. Samuel Zorn was arrested at his home in the Dorchester district last night on a warrant charging Jarcency of $500 from persons unknown. This was the same charge upon which the three officers of the Old Colony Foreign Exchange company were arrested earlier in the day. Dealings Also Large That the activities of this company might have rivaled’ in extent. the dealings of Ponzi’s Securities Ex- change company was intimated by Albert Hurwitz, assistant district at- torney of Suffolk county, when he told the court that the amount in- volved in the transactions probably would be shown to be hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was upon this representation that he asked that the bonds be set at a high figure. The three,men will be given a hear- ing on Aug. 24. Ponz?’s Partners Involved Further pankruptey proceedings in which for the first time partners of Ponzi were mentioned, were brought in the federal court. The three pe- titioners were holders of Ponzi’s notes for a total of ‘$2,526. They asked that Ponzi and John S. Don- dero of Medford and Guglielmo Ber- tollotti of Parma, Italy, named as his partners in the Securities Ex- change company, be adjudged bank- | rupt. Seals Officers’ Boxes Mr. Allen made it known in con- nection with the closing of the Han- over Trust company that he had caus- ‘led the state seal to be placed on all the safe deposit boxes in that insti- tution used by Ponzi or by officers or employes of the bank. He said this was done as a precaution against the possible removal of securities or oth- er valuables pending the settlement of the bank’s affairs. . The arrest of officers of the Old Colony Foreign Exchange company came. after a frenzied run by note holders upon the company’s offices on Devonshire street. One of the re- sults of this run was an imperative ‘notice served upon President Bright- well by the trustee of the building to yacate his quarters within a half an hour. Shortly afterward the offices were closed. More than a hundred note holders were in the Old Colony Foreign Ex- change company’s outer offices for half a day. Cry for Money The announcement that payment shad been suspended brought loud cries from the waiting crowd. “We want our money,” several shouted. There was a rush toward the inner office. Guards employed by the con- cern struggled to keep the people back. Threats were made against Brightwell. BOTTINEAU CO.
