<0 FURTHER BANK
CLOSING EXPECTED
IN PONZFS WAKE
BOSTON, Aug. 14.—Assurance that
no further bank closings are likely
as a result of the collapse of the
financial dealings of Charles Ponzi
was given tonight by Joseph C. Al
len, state bank commissioner.
“In response to repeated in
quiries,*’ the commissioner said, “I
again state that the Hanover Trust
company and the Polish Industrial
association are the only banking in
stitutions in New England known to
be in any way affected by the Ponzi
failure.”
The Polish Industrial association,
conducting a private bank, steamship
agency and other accommodations for
immigrants, was taken over by the
commissioner today.
Henry Chmielinski, president of
the association, also is president of
the Hanover Trust company, closed
by the commissioner earlier in the
week. Mr. Allen said that affairs of
the two institutions were “hopelessly
interwoven,” that the Polish associ
ation had exhausted practically all
its cash and that its loans were either
bad or of doubtful value.
No bondsmen were forthcoming to
day for Ponzi or for the three officers
of the Old Colony Foreign Exchange
company, the “100 per cent in six
months concern,” who were arrested
yesterday.' Ponzi remained in the
Middlesex county jail at East Cam
bridge and the other three, Charles
M. Brightwell, Raymond Meyers aud
Fred Meyers, in the Charles street
jail. Samuel Zorn, an agent of the
Foreign Exchange company, was re
leased in $2,000 bond.
Definite clarification of Ponzi s
tangled affairs is looked for if pe
titions for receivers for his Securi
ties Exchange company are granted
by the federal court. A hearing will
be given on these petitions next
Tuesday forenoon.
Bankruptcy petitions were filed
against the Old Colony Foreign Ex
change company today. Branch of
fices in several New England cities
were closed by county authorities.
The offices of Attorney General J.
Weston Allen at the state house were
crowded throughout* the day with
note holders of the Securities Ex
change company and the Old Colony
Foreign Exchange company.
Their names and particulars as to
their notes were taken. Many of
the visitors were greatly excited ana
voiced angry demands for the return
of the money which they had in

waiting forty years for the return
from the United States of E. S. Cave,
“The Cider King,” of Hollis, N. H.,
her childhood chum, Olive Neal, of
Peterborough, has at last become the
bride of her first love.
This romantic wedding, with its
story of a woman’s patience and a
man’s wanderings abroad and reap

the first sweetheart of his boyhood
days, has greatly stirred England.
Until he showed up the other day

Cave left England for the U. S. A.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14. —George

believed William Ji Bryan would
whole heartedly support Governor

“My reason for saying this is not
founded on any logical reasoning, but
because I have received a hunch
that we may expect his co-opera

Ex-Service Men Join
Legion to Aid Fight on
Watson and Hardwick
SWAINSBORO, Ga., Aug. 14. —At a
meeting of the Emanuel county post,
American Legion, held here Thursday
night, the membership was strength
ened by eighteen ex-service men
coming in voluntarily and asking to
be admitted to this post, stating that
they wanted to line up with the Le
gion to help resen the attack now be
ing made on the organization by
Watson and Hardwick.
It is expected by this post that the
result of the criticism of Watson,
Hardwick, et al., will cause the local
membership to increase their mem
befship 100 per cent, the ex-service
men being anxious to come in to de
fend the Legion.
Several resolutions were intro
duced condemning the attacks being
made on the Legion ’and calling on
the ex-soldiers, as well as the loyal
citizens of the state of Georgia, to
vote against Watson and Hardwick.
On account of there being several
resolutions offered looking to the
same end, it was decided to name a
committee to prepare re prepare res
olutions expressing the sentiment of
the local Legion members and pre
sent it for adoption at a special meet
ing which has been called for that
purpose next Sunday afternoon.
At this meeting a committee was
appointed to make arrangements for
ceremonies at the burial of Private
Carlton Hooks, who was drowned
when the Oranto went down in the
English channel October, 1918. The
body of Private Hooks was expected
in New York Friday, and will be
shipped immediately to his father,

CLAUDE A. WEST
COMMENTS ON
MOTOR LICENSES
Claude A. West, candidate for sec
retary of state, gave out a statement
Saturday afternoon commenting on
the opinion rendered by Attorney
General R. A. Denny that county of
ficers are not authorize to distribute
motor vehicle licence tags. Mr.
Denny’s ruling followed a similar
ruling by Secretary of State S. Guyt
McLendon, who is a candidate for
re-election, and who asked for the
attorney general’s opinion.
“The fact that the present secre
tary of state and the present attor
ney general of Georgia are agreed
on the question fortunately does not
settle beyond appeal to other and
higher legal authorities whether mo
tor vehicle license tags may be is
sued through delegated county agen
mies,” declared Mr. West.
“Once before the present secretary
of state ruled the motor vehicle law
unconstitutional and he was upheld
in his ruling by an opinion of the
present attorney general,” continued
Mr. West, “but when the supreme
court of Georgia construed the law,
the secretary of state and the at
torney general were reversed and the
act was held valid.
“If the opinion of these two of
ficials on one phase of thi s law was
in error, it is reasonable to presume
they are in error again, particularly
when other legal authority of the
state disagrees with the attorney
general,, as is the case now and was
the case last spring, when the con
stitutionality of the statute was at
tacked.
“The revenue derived from motor
vehicle licenses, under the Motor Ve
hicle act and the State Highway act,
is to be expended in the main
through the agency of the state
highway commission. This commis
sion, therefore, has a direct interest
in the construction of and adminis
tration of each of these statutes.
Consequently the opinion of the at
torney general as to the manner of
collecting motor vehicle license fees
is one that concerns the state high
way commission and its legal coun

of No. 240 East Thirty-fourth street,
who was before him last night, could

“You were before me three weeks
ago on the same charge,” said Mag
istrate Douras.
“Yes, your honor,” Smith admitted.
“You seem to be able to get liquor
When men who can see are unable
to,” the magistrate commented.
Smith conceded that point, too, but
when urged to tell where he could
buy whisky he said:
“Thirty-third street," and would
not say anything more. So in lieu
of a $5 fine he was sent to jail for
five days.
Patrolman Harvey, of the East
Twenty-second street station was in
night court and recalled having been
told by Smith, that, until one night
about six years ago, he never drank.
At that time his wife, who was de
scribed in the newspapers as being
very pretty, ran away with a mil
lionaire, Smith said, and that started
him drinking.
Smith was blind in one eye then,
and the night his wife left him he
lost the sight of his other eye. He
has been convicted of drunkenness
seven times since.

DANIELS JOINS
SUFFRAGE FIGHT
IN HOME STATE
RALEIGH, N. C., Aug. 15.—Secre
tary Daniels got into the fight over
the suffrage ratification in his home
state Saturday. In a formal state
ment, the secretary appealed to
“southern Democrats” to help win
the next election by giving their ap
proval to equal suffrage and, at the
same time, bitterly assailed defend
ers of the states’ rights plea.
The navy secretary solemnly called
upon his fellow partisans to observe
the pledges and promises of their na
tional and state platforms. This ad
monition he directed at both the
North Carolina and Tennessee legis
latures.
The message sent to the Tennessee
legislature by W. H. Williamson,
president of the States’ Rights De
fense league, and in which he said
“the president, next president, the
United States senate, and the secre
tary of the navy” had brought “pres
sure” on anti-suffragists, was attack
ed by Secretary Daniels as “unjusti
fiable and unnecessary.” He said it
probably would be “news to the leg
islators of North Carolina to know
that pressure was being brought on
them” by him.
The Williamson charge that “a
crime was being perpetrated” was
answered with the simple statement
that the secretary believed Mr. Wil
liamson was "ignorant of the mean
ing of the word.”
“If Mr. Williamson should under
take to have all of us punished who
perpetrate this crime, ‘seek ratifica
tion of federal suffrage,’ the spectacle
would be witnessed by a few thou
sand people placing the stigma of
crime upon over one hundred mil
lions of Americans,” the statement
said.
Georgia Still Leads
Southern States in
Illicit Distilling
That Georgia continues to main
tain a big lead over all states in the
Gulf district in the illicit manufac
ture of liquor is shown by the re
port for the month of July by D. J.
Gantt, supervising the federal pro
hibition enforcement forces in the
district.
“During July,” said Mr. Gantt, “my
men made 498 successful raids in
the district, which comprises the
states of Georgia, Alabama. Florida,
Louisiana and Mississippi, which is
average of six raids for each man
under my supervision.”
A total of 391 stills and distill
eries were raided and destroyed. Os
this number 178 were uncovered in
Georgia; 125 in Alabama, 34 in Flori
da, 48 in Mississippi and 6 in Louisi
ana. The report shows that 197
successful seizures of distilling
equipment were made, the majority
of these seizures likewise being in
Georgia.
Arrests of 126 men and women
were made, and 415 prosecutions
were recommended. The confiscated
contraband captured during the
month aggregated 2,193 gallons of
whisky and 143,010 gallons of beer.
Property was seized to the amount
of $103,938, and recommendation for
condemnation proceeds made. The
department captured 29 automobiles,
exactly 23 of them bearing Georgia
license tags. Seven horses and
mules were also confiscated by rea
son of their use in the liuor traffic.
“All of this work, said Mr. Gantt,
“was accomplished by approximate- 1
ly 80 men, including the supervising
officials, and the report as a whole
shows that we are holding down vio
latons in the district to a low mark.
More stills than the number shown
in the July report were destroyed in
the district before the provisions of
the Volstead act became effective.”
Mr. Gantt opines that the August
report of the activities of his men
will break all records. He bases this
opinion on the fact that the recent
confiscation of the ocean freighter.
“Dulcino,” at New Oleans, ladened
with sugar and approximately fifty
cases of whiskey, will greatly swell
the totals for the month, interim
proceeds have been instituted
against the vessel, which is owned
by the American Sugar Transit Co.,
and it was released under bond of
$750,000.
“While we cannot hope to ever
keep the district entirely free of
stills,” concluded Mr. Gantt, “we
have already begun to make the of
fenders keep their feet to the fire,
and are rapidly reducing distilling to
a minimum.

Section Foreman
Drops Dead on Duty
TOCCOA, Ga., Aug. 14.—Mr. Key,
a section foreman employed on the

Thursday evening while at work. He

He was an extra man sent here from

and political animosities. Never
has Georgia or the nation faced
such a crisis before.
Dorsey’s Mistake
I have no personal feelings
for or against any man now of
fering for office, but I am
greatly concerned in whose
hands I shall help place the
future of my state, under the
alarming conditions of the day.
Under our unjust election laws
the will of the people in anv x
county may be defeated by a
three cornered race. and the
only way we can offset thio
is to concentrate our vote upon
the man of strength and experi
ence. The defeat of Hoke Smith
in this cajnpaign would be a
calamity to the state and the
south and many friends of Gov
ernor Dorsey regret that he has
been Influenced to enter the
race for the United States sen
ate. At another time we would
be glad to honor him, but now
is not the tirpe.
His entrance into the race
will only divide the strength of
those who are known to bs for
yood government and the best
interests of the people, and he
could do nothing which would
make him stronger in the hearts
of the people of Georgia than to
retire and leave the fight be
tween Hoke Smith and Tom
Walton, in order that the peo
ple may have the opportunity to
express themselves without the
hindrance of an unjust election
method. In such an act he will
sacrifice nothing, but will serve
his state and the south in a
way that will never be forgot
ten. Every citizen has a right
to offer for office, but no man
should allow himself used as a
tool to vent political animosi
ties when the best interests of
the state are involved. Will
Governor Dorsey take this step?
Can he afford not to? If the
suggestion meets with approval
and he were to make this move
now, I feel that his real friends
would rally to him in the fu
ture and gratify any political
ambition he may have.
Will he do it?

Fill Your Blood With Iron
If You Want To Be Strong
WITH PLENTY OF ENERGY AND POWER
Says Physician Explains How
Organic Iron Like Nuxated Iron
Often Increases the Strength
of Weak, Nervous, Run-down
People In Two Weeks’ Time.
You cannot expect to forge ahead in life
with plenty ■of energy and power if your
blood is thin and watery any more than
you can hope to run an automobile on
water instead of gasolene. It takes pure,
red blood—rich in iron—to keep the human
machine working right. Without iron your
every action lacks power, your red blood
corpuscles die by millions, the strength goes
from your body and yo,u drop among the
weaklings and failures.
“But when such men and women supply
the right kind of iron to their blood, a
most surprising change often takes place,”
says Dr. John J. Van Horne, formerly Med
ical Inspector and Clinical Physician on the
Board of Health of New York City. “The
weak, colorless blood which had been mov
ing sluggishly in the veins becomes rich
and red and courses through the body, build
ing healthy tissue, giving renewed force and
increased strength. Without this rich-, red
blood with plenty of iron in it, there can be
no physical perfection or force to carry on
one’s work. Yet to take the wrong kind of
iron may prove worse than useless just as
wrong sort of food will often fail to
give the proper nourishment. Organic iron
—,Nuxated Iron—by enriching the blood and
creating new blood cells, strengthens the
nerves, rebuilds the muscles and helps instill
the whole system with fresh vigor and en
durance whether the person be young or
old. I strongly advise every man or wo
man who is fagged out by worry, work
and other strains to build up strength, and

HOKE SMITH TO
DEVOTE WEEK TO
SPEAKING TOUR
Senator Hoke Smith will devote
most of next week to speech mak
ing, beginning Monday with ad
dresses in Terrell and Randolph
counties and concluding Saturday
with meetings in Morga nand Walton
counties. He will spend only one
day, Tuesday, in Atlanta, but his
absence will not. interfere with the
progress of his campaign, thanks to
a well nigh perfect organization that
has been made under the personal
direction of the senator himself.
The speaking dates, as announced
Saturday morning, are:
Monday—Dawson, Terrell county;
Shellman, Randolph county, and
Cuthbert. Randolph county.
Tuesday—Senator Smith will spend
in Atlanta.
Wednesday—Clarkesville, Haber
sham county; Toccoa, Stephens
county.
Friday night—Athens, Clarke
county.
Saturday—Madison, Morgan coun
ty, and Monroe, Walton county.
The fact that Senator Smith is
going to devote so much time to the
stump is irt keeping with the plan
of campaign he outlined when he
first began his canvass for re-elec
tion.
As a preliminary to the intensive
efforts that are to mark the latter
days of the senatorial contest, Sen
ator Smith devoted himself during
the early stages to perfecting a
state-wide organization. His organi
zation is in excellent shape, and the
reports coming to him from all sec
tions of Georgia are so satisfactory
and encouraging that he expects to
give the bulk of his time to speech
making.
Officers Find Still
And Liquid Output
On Courtland Sheet
A double-barreled raid carried out
by City detectives upon the home
and place of business of J. Finkel
stein Saturday afternoon, resulted,
according to the officers in the dis
covery and confiscation of a dis
tilling outfit, several gallons of
corn liquor, and quantities of beer
and wine. Finkelstein was held for
violation of the state prohibition law
and later released under bond.
One party of detectives raided the
home of Finkelstein at 86 Courtland
street, where they said they discov
ered distilling apparatus and some
beer and wine. Simultaneously an
other group of detectives raided Fin
kelstein’s place of business at 99 De
catur street, where they claim to
have found five gallons of corn whis
ky secreted in a wall tank. Fifteen
cases of empty bottles were also
found, it is said.
The tank in the wall was very in
geniously concealed, according to
detectives. It was connected they
said, by a pipe to the room where it
is suspected that the bottles were
filled for distribution.

’ health by taking organic iroi\ —Nuxated
j Iron—for I consider it one of the foremost
blood and body-builders, the best to which
I have ever had recourse.”
i Dr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly
physician of Bellevue Hospital (Outdoor
Dept.) New York and the Westchester
County Hospital says: "I have strongly
emphasized the great necessity of physicians
making blood examinations of their weak,
anaemic, run-down patients. Thousands of
persons go on year after year suffering
from physical Weakness and a highly nerv
ous condition due to lack of sufficient iron
i in their red blood corpuscles. To supply
: this iron deficiency and to help build strong,
healthier men ana women, better able pihys-
■ ically to meet the problems of everyday
life, I believe phvsicians should at every
1 opportunity prescribe organic iron—Nux
ated Iron—for in my experience it is one
of the best tonic and red blood builders
; known to medical science.”
If you are not strong ot well, you owe
i it to yourself to make the following test:
. See how long you can work or how far you
! can walk without becoming tired. Next
i take two five-grain tablets of ordinary Nux
• ated Iron three times per day for two weeks,
t then test your strength again and see how
■ much you have gained.
1 Manufacturers’ Note: Nuxated Iron, which la
’ recommended above, is not a secret remedy but one
i which is well known to dniEKlsts everywhere. Un
[ like the older inorganic iron products it is easily
. assimilated and does not injure the teeth, make
i therp black, nor upset the stomach. Each tablet
1 of genuine Nuxated Iron is stamped as follows jr
and the words Nuxated Iron are stamped into JwJ
■ each bottle, so that the public may not be led A
. into accepting inferior substitutes. The manufac
turers guarantee successful and entirely satisfac-
; tory results to every purchaser or they will refund
