AGAINST Loan Sharks.

That the loan shark bill. pending before
the last Congress when it adjourned, will
be passed by the coming Congress is the
confident assurance given by Rev. John
A. Van Schaick, jr., president of the
Monday Evening Club. which has taken
the initiative In pressing legislation for
regulation of the loan business.
THAT bill will pass as sure as Con-
gress meets" declares Mr.. Van Schaick.
THE great majority up there understand
the situation and our need of relief.
1.-The few who bunch and confer with
the lobbyists of the sharks are marked
men. Their voices carry little weight,
and their tactics Of delay and obstruction,

those revealed in the departments have

youthful bride, eloped to Rockville
March II last and wed Private Fred j.
Higgins of Fort Myer, it is said.
She met Higgins while visiting her hus-
band at the guardhouse. Higgins, who
left for Texas to join his troop last
night, was not aware that his wife had
committed bigamy until a few days ago.
Mccormick, who discovered that his
wife had married again, has been max
ing frantic efforts to have the Mary
land authorities take some legal action
in the case. Inasmuch as he is in
prison and cannot go to Rockville to
institute proceedings against the for
mer Mrs. Mccormick it is probable
that she will not be molested for the
present.

Vile intends to interfere in the matter

: Forced to Forego Big Wedding.
Mrs. Marie Ida Eye Mccormick Hig-
gins is now at the home of her parents,
1898 Duncan street northeast. When
she married Trooper Mccormick May
3. 1899. she gave the age Of eighteen
years. When she and Private Higgins
were married March IL last the bride
groom announced that they were forced
to forego the big" wedding because
he would shortly have to leave for the
war maneuvers along the Meyicop hor
der.
A short while after her daughters Sec
ond marriage Mrs. Eye went. to a con-
fectionery store on Florida avenue, where
the bride was employed and chided her
for violating the law. According to Mrs.
Eye, her daughter told her that she did
not realize the seriousness Of the offense.
When Higgins called at the residence of
his bride a few days after this meeting
he was informed that his bride was al
ready married. Whatever hopes they
had of honeymoon were blasted

of hysterical women rang out from the
platform and among those on the floor.
Some OF the women fell back In a faint,
and men rushed toward them with a de-
sire to help.
The policemen who had been leaning
against the walls in the rear marched
slowly through the aisles toward the
groups that had quickly formed around
the fainting women. They requested all
to sit down. and then aided in having

audience. where fresh air and drink Of

Competition Best Weapon.


There are two ways Of driving the
loan sharks out OF business both in the
departments and out" says Mr.. Van
Setback. "One is by statute. The other
is by competition.
THE method by statute is inadequate
The loan men do not fear it particularly.
No matter what penalties are prescribed
the profits are so enormous that certain
men will take the chances. Not that stat
utes should not be enacted and penalties
prescribed. The criminal nature Of these
operations should be clearly recognized by
law. But in making the laws the fact
should clearly be ke.'t in mind that money
in small !I;3E ".ii -. -Hy5 be demanded
and always supplied h.. somebody, and
that safety for the community lies only
in making it possible for honest, fair men
to handle the business as well as the ex-
tortiOnate. The method Of competition
must be adopted with the method Of re-
preston.

LOW DEATH RATE
IN SEPTEMBER

Statistics contained in the regular
monthly report of City Health Officer
Kenneth Bradford, which was pre-
sented at the meeting of the Common
Council held last night, show that the
death rate for September was one of
the lowest on record here. There
-ere only seven dea tbs during tt,e
month, while there were ten births
Important causes Of death last
month were as follows: Bright's
disease /, cancer 1, senility L., tuber-
culosis of the lungs /, chronic heart
disease 1. sy-
Contagious and infectious disease
were reported as follows: Scarlet
fever /, tuberculosis of lungs 1, ty-
phoid fever 5.
The report calls attention to the
fact that there were no cases of
chicken-pox, diptheria, measles or
whooping-cough reported during the
month.
Again the health officer brings be-
fore the Council the necessity of en-
ploying sanitary inspector. In this
connection he says: 1--WE have sew
eral excellent sanitary ordinances,
but it is absolutely impossible for the
police to enforce them properly. The
time has come when the health au-
thorities must have some one under
their supervision to carry on this i'm
portant work day by day. It is ne
cessary for some action to be taken
in this matter before another sea-
son. One Office could combine the
duties of sanitary and plumbing in
spector for time"
Regarding school inspection the re-
| port says: lowing to the limited
time available for this important
work we only cover the primary
grades, and these about four times a
year, unless contagious diseases oc.
cur among the pupils. In that event
daily inspection of the grade involv.
ed is carried out as often as neces
sary. The work while incomplete il
the best possible under existing cir
cumstances and has tended to pro
tect the pupils"

old Trinity church were handsome
flowers in the vases. AS Miss Marie
Hammond played the wedding march
the maid of honor and brides sis
ter's sister, Miss Sue Bell, wearing
black crepe meteor with a big hat
and carrying American Beauty roses
entered the church and marched up
the left aisle, followed by the bride
with her brother, DR.. Richard Phillips
Bell. They were met at the chancel
steps by the groom and his best man,
Mr.. Lee Ashcraft, and the ceremony,
was performed by the rector, Rev.
w. @. Hullihen. The ushers were
Messrs. Lewis Bell, H. NICK. Smith
and Joe Thompson.
The bride looked very handsome
in her going-away gown of blue cloth
and she carried brides roses. There
was mingled feeling of joy and sor-
row among the guests present for
while all wished the bride all happi-
ness possible, still the fact that she
was leaving Staunton was enough to
cast gloom over many.
Mr.. Bayless is a prosperous and
popular business man of Memphis,
Tenn, and after a bridal tour Mr..
and Mrs. Bayless will be Eat home"
at 1920 Madison street, Memphis. A
great many elegant presents were re-
ceived, the silver being particularly
handsome.
Monday night few friends were
entertained informally at the brides
home. The dining room decorations
were most attractive, especially the
center table, which was adorned with
pink roses. When the brides cake
was cut Mr.. J. B. Cochran got the
ring, Miss Sue Bell the money and
Miss Elsie Halle the darning needle.
Among the out-of-town guests were
