NORWICH BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 4, 1920 DIFFICULT TO DISPOSE OF WOODEN SHIPS —_— n, Aug. 3.—Disposal of more\ very creditable ‘Washingto! than 1,500,000 tons of Wooden shipping ~—406 vessels of various tyes—built as a part of the government's war time mer- chant marine programme is one of the most difficult problems facing the Ship- ping Board. Twenty-one of the craft, aggregating 82,000 deadweight tons, were offered recently, but no buyers were found. Only 194 of these wooden craft are now in operation. = Seventy-three are tied up at various ports under managing care- takers and 139 are in storage yards. One hundred and seven of those in “storage” are finished hulls while 32 are converted barges. Officials of the board say that when the serviceability of the wooden fleet has been demonstratemd little difficulty will be experienced in turning it over to pri- vate ownership at about $30 a ton. These vessels were built in an emergency, many of green timber, and some of them made poor showings a year and two years ago but now they have “sea- soned” officers of the board consider m practicable cargo carriers. Because of the bad record of some of the vessels operators have condemned m 41, officials declare, whereas, the record of thise now in operation show performances. One ‘wooden ship out of six round trips across the Atlantic, at sea 500 days and in port an equal number, was laid up for repairs only 22 davs. To date 532 Wwooden and composite ships, aggregating 1,948, 250 deadweight tons, consisting of 322 cargo ships, one tanker, 115 finished hulls, ten sailing craft, 56 hulls converted into barges and 20 standard barges, have been delivered to the board. A total of 114 of these ves- sels, aggregating 397,285 deadweight tons, has been sold and 12 totalling 44,- 546 tons have been lost at sea. The total cost of the construction of this fleet, estimated by the board at $170 a deadweight ton, was approximately $333,000,000. Sale of the 1,500,000 tons now held by the board at $90 a ton would yield _$135,000,000. Those already sold brought about $28,000,000 so that if the 406 remaining in the government's pos- session are disposed of to private own- ers the total loss through the wooden ship venture would be something like $170, 000,000. A scientist has made the discovery that both X-rays and radium will change the color and add to the lustre of precious stones. ————— e “You Can Do No Better Than Buy Our Wurst” FOR THE PICNICS OR AUTO PARTIES The small or large Picnic Parties find this Delicatessan Store “Just the Place” to find “Just the Good Things” for the Picnic Lunch.

The governor said he did not expect to discuss national politics, but would deal principally with reminiscences of his state career. The governor spent today close to his desk at his newspaper office here trying to reduce piles of unanswered correspon- dence. He also considered further aid toward ratification of the woman suffrage amendment by the Tennessee legislature. Mrs. George Bass, chairman of the wom- an's bureau of the democratic national committee, has reported, the governor said, that prospects for ratification in Tennessee were unfavorable. The gover- nor is expecting a report of the exact lineup on the legislature late this week from personal representatives. Governor Cox announced definitely today that he would not be able to attend the vice presi dential notifitation ceremonies for Frank- lin D. Roosevelt at Hyde Park, N. Y., on Aug. 9. Besides important conferences with party leaders, remaining over here after the presidential notification event next Saturday, it was understood that Governor Cox wished to let Mr. Roosevelt be the principal democratic figure at Hyde Park. Several talismans were received today by Governor Cox from admirers who hoped their tokens would augment “Cox luck” during the campaign. Among them were historic telegraph receiving instru- ments, sent by Commodore E. C. Benedict of New York, a friend of former Presi- dent Grover Cleveland. He said they were used hv Mr. Cleveland in receiving returns of 1¥s election and also by Presi- dent Wilson for both of his successful election periods. UNOFFICIAL DEMOCRATIC o CONVENTION IN NEW YORK Saratoga Springs, Y., Aug. 3.—The unofficial democratic state convention to- night flattened out the opposition led by Mayor George R. Lunn of Schenectady to a proposal to call a roll call of the coun- ties for the purpose of getting an ex- pression of opinion regarding candidates. Mayor Lunn put up a vigorous fight, but he did not have the votes behind him. He mustered only 16 votes on his motion to place the convention on record as op- osed to designating or recommending, or by roll call endeavoring to concentrate sentiment regarding any candidate. There were 44 votes recorded in opposition. The convention was outspokenly hostile to Mayor Lunn. The febuff administered to him was merely an incident in course of a session devoted almost entirely to enthusiastic demonstrations in honor of Governor Smith. who was acclaimed as the party's candidate for renomination. At the first mention of Governor Smith’s name the permanent chair- ue of Poughkeepsie. the to a veritable frenzy of demonstration of ap- i the plause, flag waving, singing and parading about the convention hall lasting thirteen minutes. enthuisasm, The bank of England, the strongest treasure house in'the world, usually holds within it $100,000,000 worth of WESTERN UNION TELEGRAM New York, July 28, 9:40 A.

According to M. A. Soo, presiding offi- cer of the convention, Chinese have suf- fered more than any other nation as “the result df Mexican outrages.” “Millions of dollars’ worth of merchan- dise owned by Chinese merchants has been confiscated by Mexican rebels and outlaws for which there has been no pre- tense of reparation by the Mexican gov- ernment,” he said. Mr. Soo said he had appealed to the sttae department at Washington for per-| mission for Chinees to cross the Mexican border into the United States when press- ed by outlaws. This was granted, he added.

Many people suffer from drowsy feel- ing after eating and can hardly keep themselves awake. Experts say that this is generally the result of indiges- tion and torpid liver, and we have had many testimonials as to results re- ceived from CINOT for this trouble, among them is Mr. Seile who says : “After eating I was bothered with drowsiness, in fact could hardly keep awake and at times *would get dizzy, I tried dieting but it seemed to do no good and I had about given up when 1 thought I would give the Tonic CINOT a trial and am more than pleased with it and wish to endorse it to any one suffering as I did.” CINOT is_ being demonmsirated in Norwich by an expert at the H.

A few months ago he decided tto again visit the United States but lack of funds caused his detention at KlLis Island until responsible relatives zjutd be found. PONZI SAYS HE HAS $7,500,000 IN BANKS Boston, Aug. The hundreds of in- vestors who besieged the offices of Charles Ponzi, the foreign exchange fin- ancier, today, had dwindled to less than a dozen when closing time marked the end of the largest day’s run since he discontinued receiving deposits. In the seven days' run Ponzi claims to have returned to depositors between $3,000,- 000 and $4,000,000. Ponzi, smiling and seeming confident of the outcome of the federal audit now being made of his books, declared that be had $7,500,000 in banks in this coun- try, which would mcre than cover all lis liabililies. Atiorney General Allen today selected Samuel Spring, an atlorrey to con- duct a state probe intc Fonzi's methods, as scon as the feceral audit is complete. Speculators did a brisk business dur- ng the day buring nétes at from 10 to 20 per cent. discount from those who tired of waiting in line. The crowd, al- though much larger than yesterday, was more orderly, and it seemed that they were being paid at a faster rate than on any previous day. George Wj Storck, chief accountant of the bureau of investigation of the depiriment of justice, a:rived here from ‘Washington today. He held conferences conc:rning Ponzi with Attcrney Genera Allen, department of justice officials, postoffice inspectors and Edwin L. Pride, who is making the audit of Pon- zi's books for the federal authorities. The outcome of these conferences was not made public. CHILE IS CONDUCTING A ROUND-UP OF ANARCHISTS Santiago, Chile, Aug. 3.—The round- up by the authorities of persons alleged to be anarchists is continuing.

By this work, I believe we have saved our country some of the dis- tressing scenes that have been witness- ed in the metropolises of the nations who participated in the war.” “Throughout the period of demobiliza- tion,” he declared, “the Knights of Co- lumbus were close to the men, helping them with their problems, serving them in every useful way we could devise.” Tens of thousands of former service men and women were benefited by the order's educational campaign, the su- preme knight said. Five hundred vet- erans are receivizy college educations in representative universities. The K. of C. school system has grown from on eto 73 schools within twelve months, and will grow to 200 s before the end of ne yeal. Teachers are paid 25 per cént. more tuuu e public school rate, he said, and this policy will be contin- ued. The ultimate aim of the order is to inaugurate a system of 500 self-sus- taining night schools. These schools will be thrown open to civilians for nominal fees. Lecturers, in their campaign against bolshevism, have addressed two million persons in 700 cities. These lecturers, he said, “have converted tens of thous- ands of young people tending to theo- retic radicalism back to the ways of common sense. We shall continue this work so long as there is need for it, and there will be need for a long time.” Mr. Flaherty said the knights had perienced an unusual growth in mem- bership, the most distinguished acquisi- tlons in the past year being King Albert and Cardinal Mercier of Belgium. Previous to the formal opening of tlie convention, the delegates, who represent every stafe in the Union, Mexico, Cuba, Canada, the Philipines and Porto Rico, attended a solemn pontifical mass at St. Patrick's cathedral. Archbishop _John Bonzano, delegate from the Holy See to the UnTted States, pontificated. The ser- mon was by Right Reverend John G. Murray, atxiliary bishop, of Hartford, Conn. 'He praisel the knights' stew- ardship of the funds entrusted to them by the American public. The parade of the delegates, which was to have been a feature of the con- vention, has been abandoned on account of the two days' advanced sailing of the pilgrimage to Europe The Knights will present a . jeweled baton costing $15,000 to Marshay Foch in the name of the American nation” and will unveil a statue of Lafayette in Paris 2s a memorial to American sol- diers who died in France.
