DEMANDS PROMPTLY MET
By tho Associated Press
Boston, Aug. 2. The' Securities
Exchange Co., headed by Charles Ponzl,
whose alleged operations in foreign ex
change aro being investigated by United
States Attorney Daniel .T. Gallagher
and Attorney General J. W.cston Allen,
of Massachusetts, continued today the
payment of notes to those investors who
presented their claims. '
The line of claimants awaiting atten
tion was a long one, extending from
Pic alley through City Hall avenue to
Court square and funs equating that
ot tho early days of-" last week, when,
at the request of investigating 'officials,
Ponzl stopped taking in mony from
would-be depositors. "
Popzl's prompt, return;-of funds to
those who asked for them had the ef
fect toward the end of last week of
greatly dimlnishine the "number of
claimants, but, there .-was, evidence today

pressed the belief that l'onzi was honc-
Icssl- insolvent and was paying out
money to some depositors at tuc ex
pense of others, v
"I have twlro as much money as
will bo needed," said Ponzl, "to meet
any obligations that may bn presented
to me," and added that McMustc,rs
never was in a position to learn his cm
plojer's financial standing or methods
of operating his business.
Many of those who waited for their
money today were cnrrylng copies of
rue paper m which .ucuasters's article
appeared. The crowd included a num
ber of women, some of whom said they
had left their employment for a few
hours for the purpose of procuring the
money they had invested. Pink-checked
youths rubbed elbows with oldcj-ly men
in the line.
Among them moved a few speculators
endeavoring to buy investors' claims at
a discount, but these speculators ap
parently were fewer than last week.
Speed Up Pajmcnls
Anticipating the demands, Ponzl had
ordered his office opened earlier than
usual aud every effort made to siieea up
payments. Note holders said they had
experienced no difficulty in obtaining
what was due them other thau the In
convenience of waiting in Hue until
their turn came.
Apparently uot in the least distuibed
by the ever lengthening lines outside
his doors, Ponzl met newspapermen
with his usual affable smilo when they
