AFTER THE USURERS.
Will Continue Fight
at CAPITOL.

That the Commissioners will again
wage war on the usurers OF the DIS
trict at the next session Of Congress is
the substance OF a statement made py
Commissioner mcfarland. and he ex-
presses hope that the efforts Will be
more fruitful than those of last year
and the year preceding.
Commissioner West is the father or
the movement on the part of the Com
missioners to obtain an anti-extort1on
measure for this city. He spent nearly
a year studying the question before pre-
paring bill intended to destroy the
practice. He conferred with the men
engaged in the practice of lending
money, and with lawyers, bankers, bust
ness men and others to get their views.
and as the result framed measure
that was considered ideal, but 1t failed
OF enactment.
The bill provides that the money
lenders shall pay an annual license fee
of 1000, and the books of the company
shall always be at the disposal of the
Commiss ioners. or their representa- tives.
No persons shall be permitted to charge
greater rate Of interest than per cent
a month, and $500 shall be the limit of
the loan to any one person. This bill
was described in detail at the time 1t
was introduced.

PHoNoGRAPH IN POLITICS.
Both Bryan and Taft Now Repre-.
sented by Talking Machines.

This years campaign Will have one
feature never introduced before.
Both presidential candidates have made
records for the Edison photograph, which
records are being sold as fast as they can
be made.
The circulation Of a popular phono-
graphic record sometimes reaches several
hundred thousand. and as Bryan has
made ten records and Taft twelve, If each
one Of these reaches a maximum circu-
lation, 1t will mean that the sentiments
of Taft and Bryan have been promulgated
IN their own voices in nearly every part
OF the United States.
Now that the Taft records are finally
made they are found to be fully as good
as those made by Bryan.
The Taft records. unlike the Bryan rec
ords, are made from his 81 eech of accept
ance. The Bryan records were made be-
lore the nomination of Bryan, and consist
OF extracts from some of his famous
speeches and lectures in the past. The
Iaft records, however, were made after
the nomination , and are devoted entirely
to paragraphs from his speech of accept
ance.
The use of these records for campaign
purposes is growing. There Ire great
many republican and democratic clubs
throughout the country where phono-
graphs are now supplied, and the records
can be turned on to spout forth Taft or
Bryan oratory at will. They have also
been introduced to some extent at public
meetings. which use of them will proba-
Oily increase as the campaign warns I'D.
When there is added to this fact that
both candidates are also represented in
moving pictures, it will be seen that the
public appearance of the presidential can
didates will be multiplied in a way never
dreamed Of in any previous campaign

ELIZA BELL ACCUSES SISTER
DEED SHE GAVE HER FOR

Col. to show cause, next Wednesday.
why deed conveying to them premises

The citation is based on a petition Of

faculties, and rendered her unfit to trans
act business her sister. Ellen Osborn,

part. assumed to take charge of her af-
fairs for the purpose, it is believed. OF
getting possession of her property for
the benefit of herself and her co-defendant,
and to that end dismissed those of her
friends that were ministering to her wants
and assumed charge of her house.
The bill alleges that after taking pos
session the sister appropriated to her own
use and that Of her co-defendant the best
complainant from her own apartment and
numbering 1t up as storage place for
goods brought from Cincinnati, and rent
ing out part of the house and appro-
prlatlnG the income thereof, requiring
your complainant to sleep on a cot in the
dining room. and rendering her life I'M
comfortable and well-nigh unbearable."
1t is asserted that at the time the prop
erty was transferred no consideration was
giver. for the deed, and the defendants
have since failed to furnish Mrs. Bell with
food. clothing. lodging, heat, light and
medical attendance suitable to her age
and condition.
Attorneys John c. Fay and S. A. Put
