The District Commissioners Decline to Act
a. Collection Agents.

The District COMMISSIONER Decline to Act
a. Collection Agents.
OF late the Commissioners have been
bothered continually by the presentation Of
notes against clerks under them representing
loans made from 10 percenters" In one
case investigation was ordered and
it disclosed the fact that the borrower
had not only paid back the original
amount. but had also paid at the rate of per
cent interest for the entire amount for two
years. He was called before the Commission
ers and there made clean breast of the
matter, stating that he was pushed for funds
and had to resort to the money lenders.
At first he borrowed S20-that is, he was
given SlS and signed note for $50; at
the end Of thirty days when the note became
due he did not have the amount necessary
to liqudate the debt. and he signed note for
500. 20: the third month found him in the same
financial condition and he WAS forced to sign
another note for S24.40. This continued for
very nearly year. until at last the interest had
exceeded the principal. Then he broker
demanded his money: the clerk plead poverty
and the money lender notified him that
unless it was paid within three DAYS he
would allow the note to go TO protest and then
bring tine matter before the Commissioners. In
money lender carried out his threat This
investigation convinced the Commissioners
of the injustice of the claim and thev refused
to couutenance it. Another case was brought
to their attention in which the clerk had got
ten into the meshes Of the 10 percenter's net
and after the interest had accumula ed as in
the above case to amount more than
equal that of the principal he went to the
money lender and told him candidlv that he
realized the awful mistake he had made:
that it was impossible fo him to settle in full,
as called for by the notes; that he had already
paid him nearly one-half the prin-
cipal, and that he was willing, as a compromise,
to paw per cent on the remainder and settle
in three months But the modern Shylock
would have nothing to do with such scheme.
The proposition. he said, unjust to him
He had not run to tie clerk and begged
him to borrow his monSI and he went into the
matter with his eyes wide open. The clerk re-
fused to pay the money. and the Commissioners
were again appealed to and another investi-
CATION followed. The result was the same and
since that time several other cases have been
brought before them. but they passed ruling
not to constitute themselves justices of the
peace and collect private debts. and so all of
these cases failed. These money lenders do
not content themselves with squeezing
clerks who get a fair salary, but lend money
even to poor messengers and District lsborers,
whose pay does not average over 81 day.
Every pay day they can be seen around the de-
partments in confidential talks with employees

Boston Proposes to Pay Signal Tribute
to Hrs Worth.


to Hrs Worth.
BosroN, Jan. 24.-The ornamentation Of the
center of Copley Square by statue or fountain
has been a much-discussed question in this city
for some time past. The square is beau,i-
fully bounded, and Trinity Church, of which
Phillips Brooks was pastor before his elevation
to the bishopry. is one OF the hand
some structures bounding upon it. There has
been a number of attempts made to place
statues Of more or less distinguished personages
in the square one of them Christopher Column
bus. but these have been frustrated by the art
eommiss On Oh the ground either of inartistic
worth or incompatibility.
The Journal savs this morning: "What bet
ter honor could Boston pay to the memory Of
Phillips Brooks than to place his statue in Cop
ley Square? OF our illustrious dead is there one
worthier of this tribute?
by common consent this beautiful square
surrounded by lofty structures is consecrated
to religion and education for a memorial OF
a great leader of New England thought and
life. The man who best deserves a
place there is the one with whose tread the
pavement was familiar as he passed to and
from the pulpit. whence his utterances rang
ont to New England. to America. to all human
ity. There is no need of further seeking. Let
Copley Square be ornamented by majestic
figure in enduring bronze or marble Of Philips
Brooks"
