The new law places salary loan

agents to take out q license and file

per cent q month on loans Of 800 or
under, and III per cent on sums over
500. The old law was 30 loosely
drawn that pawnbrokers sometimes

as high as 10 per cent q month. All
loan agents, whether pawnbrokers or

FARMERS BODY IN RIVER.
Ell Hebert Disappeared From Tecum
sch. Ont. March ~.

The body Of Ell Hebert, a farmer
from Tecumseh, Ont, who disappear
ed on March 81, was found In the
Detroit river, at the foot Of Bates-st.,
Friday afternoon. The remains were
identified by Harvey LeMay, Lang
lois-ave., Windsor, friend OF the
Hebert family. The body was sent
to the county morgue, where post
norton examination was conducted.
The head showed cuts and bruises,
but these may have been caused by
objects in the river, according to the
police. The contents OF the stomach
were sent to County Chemist Clark
for analysis.
One of Hebert's trouser pockets
were turned inside out and his
friends are inclined to the theory that
he met with foul play. He had $125
on him when he left home, intending
to make q payment In Windsor on
some land he had purchased. Only
70 cents In small change and two
strings Of prayer beads were found
In his pockets.
The walkervflle and Windsor po-
lice made an investigation at the
time of Hebert's disappearance and
learned that he had stayed with
friends In Windsor the night Of the
day he left home. After that his
movements could not be traced.
Hebert was 65 years old.

COX IS FREED OF
PERJURY CHARGE
Indictment Against Cincinnati Politi'
Cal Boss, Charging Perjury, Is
ouashed.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. May 2o.-The
Indictment against George b. Cox. Re-
publican political boss and banker.
charged with perjury, was quashed
today by Judge William L. Dickson.
Cox, who was indicted In connection
with county treasury graft, was I'M
tangled from the net In which he was
caught by the Judge whom he himself
put upon the bench. according to the
affidavit charging bias and prejudice
fled against Dickson by Prosecutor
Hunt when Dickson was assigned to
try the case.
Although the Quashing OF an indict-
ment sends tho case back TO the grand
jury for re-indictment, II IL generally
conceded that the present grand jury
Is OF different composition than the
one that indicted Cox. Jacob Basch-
ang, Service Director Sundmaker, and
Engineer Shipley. anc uncovered Of
fetal blackman and disclosed the 81
gantic brewery tax frauds.
Cox's escape from trial prevents the
public from knowing the details OF
the charges against him. Il was
charged. however, that Cox received
$48,500 county interest graft money
from former County Treasurer John
Gibson and that he received $17.500
more from former County Treasurer
Tilden r. French.
II was further charged that Cox. de-
nying that he Mad received such money
before a grand jury In 1906 swore
falsely and 1t was on this testimony
that the perjury Indictment was
based.

Miller kept on running, but was cap
tured by patrolmen.
