RUSSIAN HORDES RETRE BEFORE AVENGING PG FRENCH NOW CO-OPI REGEIVERS NAMED FOR PONZI'S AFFAIRS| They Must Decide As to Ac- tion Against Those Who Have Profited. Boston, Aug. 20.—The broken for- tunes of Charles Ponzi and the in- terests of thousands of investors hié quick-rich scheme were placed in receivership by Judge Morton, of the federal district court today. The court appointed three receiv- “érs, William R. ‘Sears, of Cohasset; John Forbes Perkins of Milton, Edward A. Thurston, of Fall River. It was ordered that they qualify in bonds of $50,000 each. The amount of assets to be handled is uncertain, Ponzi's statement that they would aggresate $4,000,000 be- ing the only estimate available. The receivers will be called upon to adjust claims which are likely to run to $7.000,000 according to the estimate of Edwin L. Pride, the ac- countant who has been making an audit‘of Ponzi's liabilities for the fed- eral authorities. These figures in- clude the 50 per cent profits promised by Ponzi to his investors. The receivers also will be called upon to decide whether they will proceed against the persons to whom Ponzi paid the 50 per cent profit be- fore he stopped doing business. He asserted yesterday that he had paid out $7,500,000. Some of these payments were refunds of actual in- vestments only. The amount of money paid out by Ponzi in interest, and subject to action by the receivers, should it be held that undue prefer- ence was given the persons who re- ceived it, would be approximately $2,000,000. The Old Colony Forcign Exchange company, a rival of Ponzi in offering high rates of interest for investments, also was placed in receivership by Judge Morton. John E. Hannigan, a lawyer, was named as receivor. A belief that creditors of the com- rany would receive 90 per cent of their investment was expressed to the court by Robert Gallagher, counsel for the company. Attorney General Allen of Massachusetts said that the visible assets amounted to something Lke $150,000 and that the total of the company’s business in notes was prob- EVICTED FOR SIXTH TIME Young Married Man Asks Mayor Curtis’ Assistance in Finding Fenc- ment—Father of Four OChildren. has Mayor Orson F.
