THE MAzET INQUIRY
The Committee Thinks If Has
 Struck a New Lead.
If Is Expected That Amazing Dis = closures Will Be nade of The Wholesale Evasion Of inc Law by USurerS and pawnbrokerS.

New York, June 29-A new and promising line of investigation has been suggested to the AIazet commit tee by recent, revelations which in part uncovered the system whereby usury is successfully and safely pr3cticed in this city.
 The hope of obtaining amazing dis closures is founded upon the answer of one of the loan brokers to an ap- plicant who asked how the broker evaded the usury law:
 ''Oh, that's all fixed. There is no fear of any prosecution
 The law makes the lending of money at more than 6 per cent per annum, with certain exceptions, misde- meanor. Of course, the brokers only charge the legal interest. but they take notes for sum far in advance of the actual loan. The extra sum is al legged to be payment 10 a middlemanl for procuring the loan This has been again and again held to be mere evasion of the law, and is easily proved to be such, therefore the legal evidence necessary to a conviction is not hard to obtain, and it will be part of the work of Mr Moss. when he gets ready to take up this phase of immune law breaking, to find out why there are ID prosecutions.
 When the enormous profits of these concerns are taken into account, it is not hard to divine by what method of persuasion they lull the suspicious and suspend the activities of the au- thorities. A city where pool rooms are allowed to flourish because of their ability to pay toll is very likely to be a paradise for usurers.
 It will be within the province of MT Moss to ask how it is that these Shylocks get Judgments against debt oTs in the civil courts. Perhaps the debtor does not raise the defense of usurious practice, bsing in most cases ignorant of the law. but the civil jus tice does know the law. and could get all the facts by asking questions. It does not appear that this is ever done, and the debtor. unable to hire lawyer, is cut off from the benefit of an effective defense
 The rate of interest charged by this class of brokers is, 1t is understood, about 200 per cent per annum, count ing the bonus or commission" as interest, which 1t really is.
 In connection with this 1t is stated that the committee will also look into police cOnnivance at payment by the owner to pawnbrokers of the money which the latter declare they advance on goods stolen. This is a wholly un- lawful practice; it is general The po- lice or some members thereof are much in favor of it. and so are all sneak-thieves and burglars. The sys- tenn is a great aid to them in disposing of stolen goods, for 10 pawnbroksr is afraid to receive such goods, we'll knowing that he can get his money back or as much more as his books show to be the amount of the loan. The thief will not come forward to question his figures. If 1t should be shown that the police profit by this connivance at defrauding the owner of the goods by making him pay for his own it will be easy to understand why thieving and burglary fiou:ish.
