RUMORS ARE DISQUIETING.


Minister Calhoun telegraphed the
State Department today from Picking
that the consulate at Marking reports
disquieting rumors-anti-f and
anti-dynastic-not unlike those that
preceded the Boxer outbreak. The con-
sular body at Marking has presented
a memorandum to the yiceroy, calling
his attention to the serious conditions
and emphasizing the Importance Of i'm
mediate measures to stop the anti
foreign movement. 2
The minister has telegraphed the adj
miral commanding the Asiatic feet to
hold a warship in readiness to proceed to
Marking in case Of necessity.
Mr. Calhoun adds that the crop out
look is not good. and that there Is q
great deal of pessimism at Picking.

To Come UP District Day.

Chairman Smith will bring up the bill
for action on District day in the House,
and expects it will be passed without DIFF
fculty. The text of the bill has been
printed heretofore in The Star.
Further testimony to exc rbitant
charges by loan companies in this city
was given this morning at the hearing.
The charge was made this morning that
rates ranging from co per cent to 800
per cent are often applied, ard that 1t
is common thing to charge as high rs
1,O to 20 per cent.
Attorney Frederick J.. Siddons Of the
citizens committee. William II. baldwin,
chairman of the committee. and Nrs.
Archibald Hopkins, representing the
Washington section of the welfare de-
partment of the Woman's Civic Fedora
ton. told of the hardshios inflicted upo.
the unfortunate and the needy through,
the exorbitant charges of these cornpa-
MES. to which those in distress have to
apply for small loans Former Senator
Thurston represented some of the loan
companies.
MIR. Siddons told the committee that for
ten years sentiment had been growing in
Washington against the practices of some
OF the loan companies He said crystal
hZation of taht sentiment was evidenced
in the bill which the Senate had passed
IN response To the demands of citizens.
He denounced the practice of charging
applicants for loans such exorbftant in
terest. and said it could not be excused.
Two per cent month ought to satisfy
the companies" declared Mr.. Siddons,
and if you stop to calculate you will see
that even that is Il stiff rate OF interest.
We have found cases where as high as
20 per cent year has been charged, and
the instances are without number where
100 per cent and 12o7 cent have been
charged.
DO some of the loan contracts provide
for payment by the borrower Of lawyers
fees in case of suit, with the lawyers and
The companies dividing the fee?' asked
Chairman Smith.
II do not know replied Mr.. Siddons.
but IL such is the case you should GER
tainly incorporate an amendment pro-
hibiting such a practice
ME- Hopkins gave the result of her
personal Investigations Of the practices
of loan companies in this city. She and
other members had come in personal CON-
tact with a great many sad cases where
most CONTAGIOUS treatment had been ac-
corded the unfortunate borrowers COM
PEELED by stress of circumstances TO place
themselves in the power of loan COM
panies.
She begged the committee in behalf Of
the poor women for whom she spoke to
pass the bill as 1t came from the Senate.
Mrs. Hopkins told of one case where a
poor, ifliterate woman, earning miser-
able pittance by the hardest kind of
work, was compelled to resort to one of
these loan companies. She wanted to Dor
row IS. but by the time she complied
with all the requirements OF the lenders
she found herself in possession of but
Si3. and she is still paying back the 81,
which she did not get, at the rate Of IS a
month.
A case in point. Mrs. Hopkins said. oc-
cured within her own knowledge, where
her butler had borrowed $50.
1t cost him eventually $50 to borrow
that 500 said Mrs. Hopkins -.

Opposed by Labor Body.

John Colpoys, president of the Cen.
trail Labor Union. gave testimony
heartily in favor of the bill to re-
strict the companies. He said that
union labor in the District had taken
coSnizance of the evil. and at re-
cent meeting OF the central body had
voted unanimously in favor of the
pending legislation.
William III. Baldwin of the citizens
committee had Il case in point. COM
ing under his observation. where the
unfortunate borrower had paid interest
at the rate OF 13S epr cent a year for
his loan. contracted in circumstances
of great emergency.
This was the case of woman" said
Mr. Baldwin. whose husband failed to
support her. She borrowed the -pitiful
little sum of Sl:i and had to pay interest
at the rate OF S2So a month for eleven
months | was there when the collector
came and know what L am talking
about
Representative Kahn of California q
member of the District committee. said
his attention had been called to an ad-
NcrtiseD"nt of n loan company. offering
hhera! rates at Christmas time to per-
sons needing money.
fIe had investigated he said and found
that these much vauntcd liberal rates
amount to the snug little return Of g. DER
cent a year interest
MI. Baldwin went on to say that the
appearance OF himself and those with him
ut the hearing was solely disinterested
and only in the interest OF tie pubic wef=
fare -
He said there could be no possible OBJ
lection to the registry and publicity fea-
lures IF the bill regarding loan compan ny
transactions. The bill as Ii came from
the Senate requires loan brokers to keep
record of transactions. subject to the in
spection OF the District Commissioners.
Mr.. Illusions Objections.
Former Senator Thurston objected to
this provision of the bill. contending that
it would expose the private business of
borrowers He thought the usury laws
Of the District sufficient. but would have
no objeetioa to requiring companie. to
furnish bond and outside companies to
maintain resident agent in Washington
TO answer suits.
Mr.. Thurston said that if the law were
made too stringent, it would react on
the needy borrower who could not f,,r
nish security demanded by banks and
would have to go TO loan brokers.
