HOLMAN RAGGED IN
 LOAN SHARK RAID
HEAD OF sIxTY-EIGHT CON- GERMS OBJECTED TO PATROL
 WAGON, BUT RODE IN TT.

New York. July 30.-A series of raids on loan concerns landed seven prisoners in the Tombs court yester- day. Three men arrested as proprie- tors. They were D. H. Holman, who controls sixty-r1ine loan offices, four others, William F. Duckworth and Benjamin Go1dberger. were charged with aiding and abetting the offence. Tn the raids scheme was unearthed by which the loan companies planned to get away from the New York law by an sinnocent third partyif ruse.
 This subterfuge designed to offset the provisions of the Jaw was found in letter written by Holman to his managers throughout New York State.
 He is one of the unique as well as one of the richest loan brokers in the country and is a decided progress his managers, all women, and offers prizes to employees who show more than average enterprise, and even pays commissions to customers who secure new business for him. Assist ant District Attorney Brooks stated yesterday that Holman had secured agents among the civil service em- ployes and railroad workers.
 One of his policies is to shift wo- men employees from one office to an other so that in case of two success siyeN raids the same money handler will not be caught in both instances.
 The scheme proposed in the letter originates with him. 1t IS to advance loans only on notes made out Dy third parties, those made payable 10 nersons~ who seek the loan by some friend or relative. The snrewdness of this plan is evident from the fact that the law allows an innocent third party to purchase such note at any prine before maturity. Therefore lf .theE note is made out for $lOO the loan shark may buy it, in at any fig nre under that sum he wants to otfer and still be technically within the law.
 new Brooks law by making valueless aIf a ssignments in the case of usurlous loans. threatened to ruin the private landing business. MT. Brooks holds t1e opinion that the new subterfuge will not offer the money lenders much relief.
 Mir Holman, who recently married one of his women managers and has just returned from a honeymoon trip to Europe, baked at being taken to jail. He wanted to appear in the Tombs court of his own Volition but Detective McConviIle bundled him in- to the patrol wagon. He was held in $1 ,0O0 bail for examination on Thurs day.
 Holman had offices in Connecticut until driven out of the state, when his woman agent in Hartford was heavily fined and sentenced to jail, but skipped and forfeited a $10,O00 bond.

London. July 9O-The Judicial Com mittee of the Privy Council has de cided the Quebec saNe Temere" mar riage question in favor of the Prov 1ncea Of Quebec and against the recent proposed legislation of the Dominion Parliament.
