Pasquale, who was arrested last Monday at wgg Harbor, N. J., when he tried to collect an additional ransom from the baby’s father, insists the child is alive and in good health and that threats made in earlier letters to Coughlin were merely to frighten the father and wire never carried out. He has failed, however, to disclose the baby's whereabouts. Major Lynn G. Adams, head of the Pennsylvania state police, declared to- night he is confident the child will be recovered within a week. More than 100 of his men, in addition to the local police and postal inspectors, are engaged in in- vestigating all possible clues. The parents continue to receive letters demanding ransom for the return of the child, some of them signed “The Crank,” but the police and postal authorities be- lieve they are from weak-minded persons and others who know nothing of the baby's whereabouts. A comparison of these letters with those admitted to have been sent by Pasquale show that the original “Crank” letters had a distinctive phraseology and other characteristics which are missing from the letters re- ceived since the capture of Pasquale.

PROCEEDINGS AGAINST PONZI Hanover Trust Company Forbidden to Cash Checks Signed By Him or His Agents—Ponzi Maintains He is Able to Meet All Obligations, Notwith- standing Action By Bank Commi sioner—Declares He Will Die Before He Will Disclose How He Made His Money. Boston, Aug. 9.—The response of Charles Ponzi, who claims to have made millions through dealing in international postal exchange, to bankruptey proceed- ings brought against him and to orders issued by the state bank commissioner today forbidding the Hanover Trust com- pany to cash checks signed by him or his agents, was his declaration tonight that he would “not pay out one cent of money tomorrow” at his offices. Will Not Pay Notes. “Though I anticipate tnere will be a small run on my company after today's developments,” he said, “I will not pay the notes that have run 45 days. Neither will I pay those which the depositors de- sire without any interest. But L will tell my depositors that the Hanoyer Trust company would gladly honor these checks and cash them, but the bank commission- er says that this cannot be done. “In the Hanover Trust company I have two accounts, my own personal account and another one. My personal account is over a million and a half, more than six times the amount I have out in notes. But the bank commissioner has refused to permit me to transfer my personal ac- count to the other one, by what authority I do not know.” In a statement to newspaper men earlier in the evening Ponzi discussed the statement issued today by Attorney Gen- eral J. Weston Allen, which charged that inquiries by state officials had so far failed to confirm his statements that he had made his profits through the pur- chase of internationul reply. coupons. “When Attorney General Allen starts in to ascertain what my liabilities are, I will give him all the help possible,” he said. “And when he is finished I will show him the money to cover them. But he is endeavoring to find out my assets, where they sre and how I made my money, and nobody knows that but Charley Ponzi, and nobody else is going to now. I will die before I disclose these facts to anybody. Maintains Solveney. “I have played fair with everybody. I have paid all regardless of the attack and the impediments thrown in my way by the state authorities. That I am sol- vent there is nol the slightest doubt in anybody’s mind. Why, then, should my investors be delayed in receiving pay- ments which are rightfully theirs when I have cash available to do so? I am not going to run away. That is what the officials would like to have me do. I am a fighter and I am going to fight them to the end. and 1 am going to win my fight.” Attorney General Allen tonight sent to Boston newspapers the following adver- tisement : * Call to Holders of Notes, “All persons holding unpaid notes of the Securities Exchange Trust company or of Charles Ponzi are requested to no- tify, in verson or by mail, the depart- ment of the attorney general, giving the number and date of the note, the amount loaned and the amount due, the place where the loan was made and the address of the holder. A copy of the note should be furnished where possible. This infor- mation is desired in completing the inves- tigation now being made by the depart- ment.” TENN.

Anti-suffragists. claimed there were enough members opposed to suffrage to defeat the ratification resolution while Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, declared that if members pledged to ratificat'on stood by their pledges, suffrage would win. Governor Roberts in his message de- elared ratification should be votedl promptly in order that the women of the country ight “share in shaping the des- tiny of the republic.” Citing declarations of the repub! and democratic national and state plat- forms in favor of woman suffrage and declaring that platforms adopted are “ac- cepted as party law and are so regarded as sacred pledges by members of those parties elected upon such platforms” the governor said that “no party man is without party law to support his action in voting favorably upon this amend- ment.” TO FESTABLISH BRANCH OF BALTIC BANK IN BUENOS AIRES e Buenos Aires, Aug. 9—An agent of the Russian “Cooperative Societies, Abraham Rabinovitch, has arrived here to estab- lish an agency for the societies and a branch of the Baltic bank.

Paris, Aug. 9 (By the A. P.).—The battle which is expected to decide the fate of Warsaw has not really begun, according to the latest news reaching Paris, but both sides are gathering forces for the final struggle. ~ General Haller's newly formed army occupies a strongly intrenched position in the fork between the Narew and the Bug rivers, where an army is able to block the approach upon Warsaw of a numerically superior enemy, as was demonstrated in the Napoleonic campaign of 1807 and dur- ing the Russo-Polish war in 1831 In the opinion of military observers the principal danger for the Polis is the ad- vance along the Prussian frontier, be- cause it would force them to extend their front westward when they need to keép their armies concentrated as much as possible east of Warsaw. The Poles thus far have been able to ignore this advance. which is merely a demenstration, but it is considered likely that the Red staff will avoid battle in the fork until stronger forces can be pushed toward Miawa. Heavy fighting continue on the eighty- mile front along the middle Bug between Viadimir, Volynsky and_ Droyichyn. North of Brest Litovsk the Russians have obtained a footing on the left bank of the river. South of Brest Litovsk the Poles commarid both banks of the river. On the Sereth river and the Galician frontier the situation remains unchanged. BOLSHEVIKI MEETING REVERSES IN SOUTH RUSSIA Paris, Aug. 9.—General Baron Wran- gel, the anti-bolshevik commander in South Russia, telegraphed the Rus- ian embassy in Paris under date of Aug. 5 that the second attempt of the bolshe- viki to stop develoment of his offensive “ended in complete disaster for them.” General Wrangel's telegram continued: “Toward the middle of July the enemy concentrated four cavalry divisions against our front in order to launch a decisive offensive in conjunction with their reorganized thirteenth army. After fighting lasting eight days, the enemy was completely defeated and we took 4.000 prisoners, 39 cannon, 150 machine guns, four armored trains and a large quantity of war material. The enemy is completely disorganized and is fleeing toward the north. We are pursuing.” Today’s bolshevik communique, picked up at Eiffel Tower, read: “After severe fighting for a week and a half, the armies of Wrangel, which had taken the offen- sive, have been repelled.” PARIS BELIEVES THAT WARSAW 1S DOCMED Paris, Aug. 9 (By the A. P.).—“War- saw is doomed” was the remark heard everywhere today in oficial and political circles of Paris, replacing the belief ex- pressed within the past f>w days. “There anothigr battle b the Marne.” Circles which up to the present had been most optimiistic conceded the bol- sheviki had reached the Danzig-Warsaw railroad at Ciechanow, severing connec- i tion between Warsaw and the sea. Mili- tary circles point out that the Polish capital is now hemmed in from the north- east, east and southeast and consider its fall a question of days, perhaps hours. The latest Tolish communique an- nouncing that the holsheviki captured Przasnysz. and are moving westward to- ward Mlawa and Clechanow has created a most. painful impression in Paris. the af- ternoon papers announcing that the cap- ture of the latter town is a foregone conclusion. Rumors, absolutely unconfirmed, were circulated in the stock exchange this af- ternoon of General Pilsudski’s suicide. It brought market operations to a complete standstill.

LETTER FROM WILL HAYS TO GOV. HOLCOMB ON SUFFRAGE Hartford, Conn., Auig. 9.—Up to mid- day today, Governor Holcomb, who spent the week end at his home in Southington, had not received the letter addressed to him by Will H. Hays, cchirman of -the national republican committee, urging him to call a special session of the Conneeti- cut general zssembly to act on the suf- frage amendment. No_statement was, therefore, to be had from his excellency. Mr. Hays' first declaration to the gov- ernor is: “Your cause and that of ,the republican party are one. This states a proved fact in a few words.” He then relates action on suffrage taken by the recent national convention and says: “Individually and collectively the ef- fort of republicans has been to secure the on of the suffrage amendment.” r himself he adds: “Personally let {me say that I am sympathetic with it.” Mr. Hays asserts that the suffrage | question is not a party question and *a { special legislative session is a small price to pay for a clearer political atmos- phere. As a further argument to immediate action in Connecticut he says: “Relieev the American woman from the nes ¥ of claiming her constitutional j right and her sister from the fancied me- { cessity of opposing the claim and you will liberate a body of ~public opinion upon the campaign and its issues which { Will prove itself to be one of our great- est national assets.” In taking definite issue with the gover- nor, who says no emergency exists, he says: “I do not agree that so great am issue should be settled only after a fresh legislative election. Wisely or unwisely, the question whether ratification of & proposed amendment should be submitted to the state legislatures or to popular conventions composed of delegntes elected upon that issue, has been by the constis tution of the United States vested in cone gress and not in the states. * * ¢ & Tf, therefore, it is not for state an- thorities to submit the pending questise to popular vote, no valid reason cam_be suggested for refusing to summon a legis- ature in special session unless it he.ex- ecutive disagreement with the anticipated action of that body. But this I respect- fully suggest, is not a consideration by which authorities in any state should be moved. The test of the existence of the emergency which justified 2, summons to the legislature is not mere executive ais approval of the action which the legisla- tive assembly will probably take. . The test is whether or not the national wel- fare requires the promnt elimination of a disturbing issue and the determinatién of a great fuestion of citizenship before a pivotal election instead of after it. “I refrain from advancing the usual arguments in behalf of suffrage. I feave entirely out of consideration the partisam advantage or disadvantage which ratifica- tion might entail. “I urge ratification first in the hope of [ thereby clearing the political atmosphere ; second, in the belief that the suppression of effective opinion works harm to the whole body politic, and, finally, in the conviction that we pwe immediate action as a measure of siinple justice to Ameris can women.” CESSATION OF REYOLT IN LOWER CALIFORNIA Mexico City, Aug. 3—Many folliwers of Esteban Cantau the revoiting Eov= ernor of Lower California, desorted_him and returned to their homes when. {5y learned the purpose of nis mosement.. it is reported here.
