Wherever two or more persons’ met-—on the street, in theatres, at social affairs—the sole topic of con- verwation was the frenzied financial operations of Charles Ponzi, “bushel basket millionaire.” Everywhere one could hear the | story of the Cambridge man “who | sot in on the ground floor” of Pon- | zi's financial operations and ran an original investment of $75 to a for- tune. At one time thin man’s profits thru Ponzi's operations were seid to have been $3,000 daily. This man, the story goes, made his méney by investing $75 at 60 per cent interest each 45 days and by bringing Ponzi new clients, for which he received 10 per cent commission. Ponzi claimed to have made his money by investing in international postal reply coupons.

Inquiries at banks in the foreign districts showed an enormous num- \ber of foreigners invested in Ponzi scheme. Savings accounts formerly | kept in these banks were withdrawn and the money placed with Ponzi. There bad been a big drain on these jinstitutions during the last few | months. | However, foreigners did not make up the complete list of customers of |the young financial marvel. Society women, stenographers, clerks and | persons in other walks of life invest- | ed their savings In the magic million- making scheme, Ponzi’s staff of 16 clerks was on hand early today, preparing to con- tinue payments to depositors. More than $2,000,000 hax been refunded sineve the investigation started. eee Even Uncle Sam Got His Millions WASHINGTON, July 30.—Profits [of the United States government from its international money order business amount to millions of dol- lars, it was revealed here today.

Official reports show that in the sevep years ended June 30, 1919, the government made from its interna- tional money order operations $5,- 052,636.13. How much has been made stace then is not known, ‘The profits of both Ponzi and the government arose from the fact that foreign exchange fluctuated violent- lly while money onter conversion rates remained the same as they were before the war. New conversion rates will go into effect August 15, which will more nearly correspond to actual exchange rates altho they will not end the goy- ernment's profit.
