DR.. Pearsons.

DR.. J. A. B. Schercr has been ten
dered the presidency Of Throop IN

Of his recent visit to DR.. d. Il. Pear
sons, DR.. Schcrcr, who has returned
after an extended trip across the con-
| tjncnt, said:
cit will interest the friends Of the
college to know that I had long and
intimate talk last Wednesday with
Dr. ID. X. Pcarsons regarding the
claims Of Ncwbcrly, and that he
shows an undiminishcd concern in cv-
crything affecting our welfare. AL
though in his eighty-ninth year. his
mind is as clear as bell, and he has
actually gained twelve pounds within
he last few months DR.. Pcarsons is
in many ways the most remarkable
man | ever met, and the finest thing
about him is his keen and intelligent
interest in Christian education. DR..
Pcarsons definitely assured me last
Wednesday that Newbcrry college
will receive large additional bcnc-
faction at his hands, in order to Sc
cure the Carnegie gift, but he does
not want t" be hurried. lie has at
heart many other schools besides
Nrwbcrry, and intends that each
| shall GET It's due. II is proper and
fair that he should have his own way
and time in the disposition Of his
great bencfactons. lie has so ar
ranged our interests that they arc
protected against any contingency.

Bsn presss on Salary Loans Report en' Teaay Tells of the New York Loan sharks and Their Me-
 fh0dR.

A
 New York. Nov. 14.-A report was 3ssned in this city today that will cause and uncomfortable stir among loan sharks" the country over, The pnsl- neas of salary loan companies while nerIodically attacked by the news papers and courts has never receive1 harder blow than 1t gets from tnls report written by Clarence ". Wassam' who wins his doctors degree at Col nmbia University as a result or ms nainstaking findings.
 While the investigations are connned to New York City they apply with equal force to the hundreds Of other towns where 'loan sharks operate Tnirfysalary loan companies are known tn exist in New York and the number Is probably considerably larger. But based upon the minum number or offsces 1t is estimated that there Is about $3oO.000 capital invested.which makes possible an annual business or 9I.200, ,o0es The number of individuals who patronize the sharks" must be very large. since it Is known that loans seldom exceed s35. and that the average loan Is less than SEQ.
 Mr. Wassam states that at least 10o,- GOO individuals patronize the loan com panies in New York in the course of a year ~An employe of the largest EGAn8U0TtAtlOu COulpHAAy III bdC NAAJ Heves that at least 90 per cent of his fellow employees have loans secured hy an assignment of their wages. An other employe of the same company ntated that practically every man he know on the road had been involved at some time with a loan company. The eastern manager of a large tram continental freight company stated to 3he writer that after an experience of 4euFmvntxr xKaor1 vnyifh r4Arlxa taA AYnnlnyNaS of different concerns in New York City, he was convinced that the salary loan business is much mores extensive than is generally believed. A young lady who collected several years for one of the companies found that prac- tieally all of the employees in several of the large downtown business houses were indebted more or less to the loan companies."
 The inhuman fashion in which many of these Shylocks of to-day extract their pounds of flesh from their power- less customers, makes Shakespeare s money lender appear benevolent in comparison.
