ing of Tom Linton and his Jungle
Maids at the Washington this week.
The offering 10 unique and orig.
inal in the musical line, being de-
cidedly full OF musical mirth. All
of the girls in the act are pretty
and, what is better still, can sing
in a very charming manner. Espe-
cially handsome and clever is Miss

Of the Jungle Queen. The produc-
ton is beautifully staged and is
lively, musical and entertaining
from start to finish.

giving rise to unbounded and whole
some fun, is a decided novelty, but
this is the combination furnished
in Lena Rivers" Three acts of
the play are laid in the south at
the home of the Livingstons, near
Frankfort, KY, one OF the most
beautiful and typical mansions Of
the south. Miss Bunting seems to
have been cut ont for the title role

ORPHEUM-One of the most
novel as well as amusing travesties
ever produced on the stage of the
Orpheum theater is that given this
week by John B. Hymer and his
company of ten, entitled THE
Devil and Tom Walker" The
scenes are laid in Hades and Tom
Walker takes the devils place as
ruler. Tom is an old negro and the
situations in the piece are at times
screamingly funny, especially when
Tom metes out justice to some of
his old time enemies. The sketch
is bound to find much favor all

SLAVES TO GREEDY
LOAN SHARKS
FROM PAGE ONE.

! United States, the constitution of
which stands for personal equality
and freedom, this shameless peon-
age exists. Money borrowing by
men and women in poor paid po-
sitions has become a vice to which
an astonishing percentage of the
American working people have
fallen victims. 1t Is because they
are so seldom able to work their
way from under the money lend
ers' thumbs when once they have
gone to one of them to borrow.
Spokane's Startling Conditions
1t Is a lawless steal from the
helpless, but seldom Is case
prosecuted, for the loan shark Is
cunning. He picks for his slaves
those of the working people whom
he knows he can rule with threats.
In Spokane the conditions are
startling. Men and women have
lost whole years salaries to these
greedy filchers on comparatively
small loans. Others have lost
homes, have been reduced to pow
erty and eventually became coun-
ty charity charges In their clutch
es. Once a>small loan has been
secured from one Of these modern
Shylocks q small fortune Is needed
to release the victims from their
chains OF bondage.
Right here In Spokane, loan
sharks are drawing down their
victims salaries month after
month. while families OF the mis-
led borrowers are hungering away
their lives In little rented novels.
Some OF these victims were once
men Of reputation and homes, but
they have been dragged down and
made miserable, impoverished
creatures; their homes have been
sacrificed to add to the golden lin
ing of their merciless masters
pockets.
In Spokane, the glitter of gold
and clink OF Ill gotten coin has
hardened the hearts OF the money
lenders and blinded their eyes TO
pity. This Is only a beginning In
the sensational story of the loan
sharks operations in Spokane.
The Press will follow with se-
ries of stories, telling OF, astound-
Ing conditions wrought In homes
of Spokane people by the greedy
money loaning thieves. 1t will tell
how the great financial game is
worked. How men are made slaves
and how>it is that the shark al
ways gets the best of the borrower.

Kept In Luxury While Mas
sachusetts Forgeries Piled
PIP Toward the Half Mil
lion Mark.

BIRMINGHAM, Mass, Oct. 26.
Authorities say there Is q wom-
an in the birmingham forgery
case, in which three men are now
held under heavy bonds. A prom
inent town official said:
Heaven only knows how many
forgeries have been committed on
notes against the town since
treasurer lombard first Obliged a
friend" We how now Of 1926, 900.
The amount may reach three
quarters of q million. I fear the
affair will startle the whole coun-
try"
He added that many Of the
forged notes, for which former
Treasurer John B. Lombard and
G. s. Cummings and q. A. Mead
Of the American Banking Co.,
were arrested. have been sold
throughout the west.
Mead and Cummings pleaded
not guilty and were held under
bond Of $4,000 and $4,000. Lom-
bard was too Ill to go to court,
and Judge Kingsbury took the
court to Lombard g. sick room.
There, propped up on his pillows,
the former treasurer pleaded not
guilty to $4,000 forgery and
was held under $4,000 bond. His
wife and M. G. Marian furnish
ed the securities.
In the frauds already uncover
ed, as we'll as those still to de-
velop, Lombard was but a tool, in
the opinion OF the officials. Trails
leading to men believed to have
planned the looting are being fol-
lowed, and further arrests are
likely.
One OF the most remarkable de-
velopments In the swihdle is evil
dence that a supposedly wealthy
young woman of birmingham Is
either concerned in the frauds or
has been a sharer In the profits.
She is said to have been given
jewels, automobiles and other lux
uries for several years by one of
the men whose name has been con-
cerned in the forg cries. The dis
trict attorney is considering &C
tion to recover some OF the plum
der.
