against any OF their employees by loan
agents." said Mr.. Shepherd TO The
Times. 81 want them to tear up any
such notices and throw them In the
waste basket. II they feel timid about
doing this. | want them TO communi-
cate with me. | will protect them in
the matter. Most of the men coming
in here are producing letters from
loan agents. who threaten garnishee
proceedings. That thing has got TO
stop, and | am going to make every
effort TO protect these unfortunates.

county building have agreed to lend
every assistance to the prosecutor in
the campaign. having resolved to ad-

censed agent has charged more than
the legal rate of seven per cent; also,
they said they would exercise the
discretion given them by the law to
forfeit the entire debt where extor-
tion is shown.

ask Police Commissioners Croul to
place policeman at the door OF
