SOUTHERN CHINESE EAT STRANGE FO0D Meat of Dreaded Cobra and Python in Season Now Canten, Dec. 21.—(P)—It is often maid that the people of Canton eat anything and everything but deadly poison. Curious concoctions and strange dishes seem to exert a spe- cial fascination over these epicures of South China. AIR MAIL LOSES ANOTHER PILOT Leo J.

NEW TREATY I3 BEING CONSIDERED Arbitration Agreement Between U, S-England May Resalt London, Dec. 21 (P—The Britisn government has under tion a new arbitration treaty with the United States. Sir Austen Chamberlain, secretary, told the house of com- mons that the government, how ever, had not yct reached a conclu- slon which would enable it to pro- | ceed further in the negotiations. He | explained that he had desired the | old cover the time needed for consid- eration of the new proposals. These new proposals, he said, had come a8 a surprise since previously had been informed that the Ameri- | can govermment intended no change, | but merely a renewal of the old treaty. Referring t3 Anglo-American re- | lations, Sir Austen said he pro foundly regretted that a “little cloud” had come over them recent- ly. But he refused to believe that between the two nations, fo peace fully minded and so friendly to one another, passing differences were going to create any permanent dis- turbance of relations. . There was another very relevant treaty still in force, Sir Austen con tinued, namely the Brian-Spring- Rice concilfation trcaty. His impres- .

PONZI CREDITORS WILL GET CHRISTHAS PRESENT Between $35,000 and $77,000 to Be Disbursed By Trustee of “Get-Rich” Estate, Boston, Dec. 21 (UP)—Between $75,000 and $77,000 will be thryt into the Christmas stockings of those who heeded the “50 per cent in 45 days” promises of Charles Ponzi, during the erstwhile financial “wiz- |ard's” get-rich-quick boom in 1920. | Playing the role of Santa Claus, | Henry V. Cunningham, trustee of the | Ponzi estate, has mailed checks to- !talling this amount to hundreds of | Ponzi creditors in various parts of | the country. Itis the fifth and final | aividend, increasing to about $1,500,- 000 the aggregate amount of dis- | bursements to creditors. While the dividend may gladden the hearts of disillusioned creditors, |it represents only 2 per cent of the original investment, and the five dividends combined represent but 37 per cent of the total liabilities. The fund which has been distrib- uted among creditors was obtained |largely through suits against invest- jors wiao had recelved the money from Ponzi before his bubble burst. Ponzi, who served five years of a | federal sentence in Plymouth jail for tusing the mails to defraud, is now |confined to the Charlestown state | prison, to which he was committed following his conviction on larceny charges. | i READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS 7 Prem.

A sec- ond man, who “had business deal- ings” with Brandon, was held, but freed after convincing officers bhe was not thelr man, Then & woman persisted fin anonymous calls to headquarters, in. sisting that she knew nothing about the Brandon case. Provoked by the frequency of the calls, chief of fe. tectives became reticent to the point of saying nothing about the Bran- don case or anything else. Police have established only that she wés an acquaintance of the estranged busband who was held Just after the killing, but beyond that have been unable to reveal connections between the woman and the case.
