He communicated only with custom officials, te'ling them that he sought a “swindler aboard an Italian ship.” It explained that it would not be possible to arrest the man sought aboard the ship, but an inspector was assigned to aid them in an effort to identify the fugitive. It was under stood that Ponzi was prevailed upon to leave the ship by his selection as a ember of the crew who could speak lish to check some papers in the dock office. Reaching the dock, he was escorted taxicab and driven to a hotel. re questions were asked in an ef to establish his identity.

Agrees to Go to Tex: The Texas officer proposed that he be taken to Houston. His only re- quest was that his clothing be brought to the hotel from the ship, and his first action, after admitting his iden- tity, was to shave his mustache. He welcomed especially eral suits of pajamas. These were not a part of a messman’s sleeping garb on ship board. Ponzi was belleved to entertain hope that he will be deported without serv- ing sentences placed against him in Massachusetts and Florida. Ile said deportation proceedings are pending against him.

BOSTON, June 29 (#).—Charles Ponzi, erstwhile finmmcial wizard, 1is wanted here for resentencing to from seven to nine years in State’s prison as a “common and notorious thief.” His present troubles had thelr incep- tion in a spectacular postal coupon reply scheme which collapsed in 1919 with a loss to his stockholders of $2,000,000. He was convicted of fl- legal use of the mails and sent to Plymouth jall on a Federal sentence end then tried and convicted by the State on charges of larceny. He was released on an appeal ang went to Florida to recoup his losses by operations in real estate.

SMITH REMAINS SILENT ON RACE FOR GOVERNOR New York Bxecutive Addresses Utica Democrats Without Giving Dectsion. By the Associated Press. UTICA, N. Y., June 29.—The silence which has characterized the attitude of Gov. Smith regarding nomination for the office of chief executive this Fall remained unbroken last night when he addressed Oneida County Democrats at a testimonial dinner to Edwin Corning, chairman of the Dem- ocratic State committee. Despite urgent pleas of prominent party leaders who came here for the. dinner and a virtual demand by Mr. Corning in a brief address that the Governor run, there was no word that the request would be heeded. Instead the governor devoted his full address to an outline of issues to be put for- ward by his party at the Fall election. Although no part of the governor's address gave definite indication that he would be a candidate again, all of the State leaders who attended the dinner believed that he would consent.

By th> Assoctated Press. LOS ANGELES, June 29.—Aimee Semple McPherson has expressed her displeasure with the trend which the investigation of her story that she was Kidnaped and taken to Mexico has developed. As the district att and police continued the inquiry today the evan- gelist denounced those who doubt her explanation of her five weeks' ab- sence, which started when she van ished ‘at Ocean Park May 18 and end ed when she was found at Agua Prieta, Mexico, last Wednesday “Instead of being centered on the criminals, it (the investigation) has centered on me,” she sald. § The pastor scoffed at the possibility that she might have disappeared be- cause of a love affalr. “The man I marry has not appeared on the scene yet,” she declared, and then proceeded to draw a word pic ture of her ideal. *He must be good looking. He must be 6 fect tall or more. He must he a preacher. He must have certain rigid standards. He must play the trombone and be a good singer, and he must be a good and holy man."

VOTE ON DEBT PACT COMING SHORTLY IN PARIS PARLIAMENT _(Continued from First Page) M. Caillaux yesterday sent them tele- He made no proposition, but d a desire to see them in Paris on thelr return. He also sent amicable messages to the Reichs -bank in Berlin and the Bank of Italy. The finance minister desires the Bank of nce, which been maintaining a rather isolated course to have closer relations with the great banks of issue of Germany and Italy. Charles RIst, new vice governor of the Bank of France and a member of the committee experts which is advising M. Caillaux, has opened negotiations for credits with the Fed eral Reserve Bank and the Bank of England. M. Rist already hes held several pre liminary conversations by telephone with Mr. Strong and Mr. Norman at Antibes. Their attitude was said by one of M. Rist's associates to be most friendly and liberal in their viepoint toward the French proposals. MODIFICATION CHANCES SLIM. Attempt to Liberalize Terms Would Cause Trouble, Officials Say. Little prospect of modification of the Franco-American war debt fund- ing agreement to meet objections which have arisen in Paris is seen by administration officials here. Not only has the House already ratified the agreement, it was pointed out by Treasury officials, but even in its present form it faces opposi- tion in the Senate that would appear to make any liberalization of its terms most difficult. The French objections were brought the attention of officials here and thus far to through pr¢ | | | the Washington Government has re- cefved no intimation of a formal French request for a change in the provisions. While news reports from Paris in dicate that Finance Minister Caillaux is_displeased with article 7 of the reement, which provides that the United States may demand that France issue hbonds for payment which are saiable on the stock mar. ket, the view was expressed that this provision must stay in the agreement It was explained that France ac- cepted its Joan with the understand ing that the United States could sell French obligations given in payment for it. The first liberty loan act, under which funds were subscribed for a loan to France also provided that foreign obligations could be taken in payment and sold in this country. The article 7 provision is in every other debt agreement made by this country, but has never been used, and, it was declared, there is little likelihood that it will be used. 1t debt negotiations are reopened with France, officials said, it would have to be on the basis that new evi- dence had_been found for a change in the settlement. The United States Government has not been apprised of any new evidence. The blue shark lives alone at the surface of the sea, far from land. It follows ships for days, picking up scraps of food.

Holt man, a Maryland penitentiary guard, v, 1925, ar Allan__Poe. Whittemore's counsel, based his appeal on alleged irregularities in methods employed by Criminal Court Judge Eugene O'Dunne in selection of a triul jury. He was not allowed to question prospecti jurors as fully as he desired, he a serted, and stated that two jurors, having been accepted by both defense and State, were withdrawn from the box and substituted by the State be- cause of new information regarding them. The State contemded that ful information regarding the jury panel was available before the trial had Poe seen fit to make use of it Judge Willlam Adkin remarked from the bench that the withdrawal of jurors once accepted “looks like a lottery.” A full bench of elght judges heard the appeal arguments.
