y dispatch from Louisville. Ky, says:
Judge Miller, in the chancery division
of the circuit court, rendered an impor.
tant decision Saturday against the United
States Loan Association, involving "
large sum of money, mostly in small
amounts, divided among many borrowers
of the company. He holds, in short, that
the interest charges of the association
are usurious Only 6 per cent. accord
ing to Judge Miller, can be collected on
loans, premiums being illegal. The de-
cision was on the consolidation of IL large
number of cases filed against the ussocia-
ton. in some of which the interest was
IL per cent. This decision is important
because it affects nil the building and
loan associations of Kentucky, and will
require II modification of their plans of
doing business ASS result of the de-
cision judgments have been entered in
all the suits brought against the assoc!a-
