Control of the Rifles.

Meanwhile. both sides to the cOntro-
versy are waiting for the hearing to be
held in the Municipal Court February
20, when it is to be decided whether the
rifles belong to the boys of the company
or revert to the War Department But
a statement made at the bureau Of ord
nance, War DepaI tment, seems to clear
up this phase Of the question, and to
support Maj. Kerby in his contention
that the rifles were purchased.
1t Is declared that the rifles were sold
to the brigade with the provision that
they be not sold or transferred to ire
sponsible persons or private dealers, and
that there is no desire on the part OF the
ordnance department for their return.
The statements which have been made
that the company members have been
guilty of acts Of INSTRUMENTATION and have
abused the property of Christ Church are
denied by Maj. Kerby, who declares that
he does not know Of any foundation for
such charges. He said today, in COM
menting on the situation. that the men,
bers have not used the parish hall since
January 10. and. from what he can learn,
the alleged acts Of INSTRUMENTATION and
abuse Of property were committed after
that date.

ARE NOT IN ACCORD
House and Senate Disagree on
Loan Shark Bill.
EACH HAS PASSED MEASURE
Provisions Different, However, and
Conference Is Probable.
MANY MAIN POINTS IN DISPUTE
Rate of Interest and Penalty for
Violations Differ-Features
of Proposed Legislation.
EACH HAS PASSED MEASURE
MANY MAIN POINTS IN DISPUTE

That the loan shark bill will finally &c
of Congress is the prediction which was
made today by those who have examined
the two bills, one passed by the Senate
and the other by the House.
OF the many material points Of differ
ence between the two houses, as repre-
scented by the bills they have passed, the
most important is the rate Of Interest
which the lenders are to be allowed to
charge. The Senate bill would allow them
to charge ~ per cent q month, the House
bill per cent month. Those who pro.
NOTED the legislation in Congress have
been in favor Of per cent month. Te
reconcile these differences. it is admitted
will be no easy task. And it is over this
question. it is believed, the two houses
will finally split so that the matter must
go to conference.
Effort to Secure Concession.
An effort will be made in the Senate
District committee, to which the 1 pei
cent House bill has been referred, to ge,
the committee to approve the rate of the
House bill, and later the same fight Will
be made on the floor of the Senate. This
effort was made when the legislation was
passed by the Senate, and as before it will
be resisted by those who drafted the
legislation and who have been most active
in pushing it. The Senate District com
mittee, in approving the legislation last
session, took the position that a rate OF
~ per cent a month was the lowest al
which the money lenders could do bust
ness.
Another material difference between the
House and Senate is in regard to the
amount of money that may be loaned at
the rate authorized in the respective bills
The Senate bill specifies that no loan al
the rate of ~ per cent shall be made fol
an amount over 500; the House bill pro-
vides per cent, with no limitation on the
amount of money that can be loaned al
the fixed rate. The provision of the Sen
ate bill means that on loans Of over $1OC
the legal rate of interest in the District
is not to be exceeded. AS a matter OF
fact. the senator's who wanted at 1 per
cent rate fixed in the Senate bill COM
promised on the ~ per cent rate because
of this limitation In the amount of the
loan at that rate to 500.

ELECTION Of VESTRYMEN
HELD TO Be IRREGULAR
New Phase in Controversy
Over Christ Church
Parish Brigade.

A surprise was sprung today in the
ranks Of those who figure In the contro-
versy in Christ Episcopal Church South
east as to whether the Boys Brigade
company Of the parish Is to be eliminated
when James E. Hutchinson. a member
of the vestry who wants the company
retained, received a letter from the
Bishop of Washington transmitting an
opinion of Attorney G. H Stanley OF
Laurel, Md, chancellor Of the Episcopal
diocese of Washington. It set forth that
the recent election of N. T. Hynson and
John Peter to the vestry was not in line
with the rules of the church and that
the places they now hold are vacant and
must be filled at another election.
New Phase in Controversy.
This ruling is claimed by those In IA
vor of retaining the company to put an
entirely new phase on the situation, as
four of the vestrymen-Mr. Hutchinson.
s. P. Hardin. H. J. Cawood and John C.
Schroeder-are said to be in favor Of the
organization remaining in the parish,
while this program is opposed only by
two other members of the>vestry-James
Berry and Louis B. Taylor-in addition
to the rector, Rev. Arthur s. Johns.
AL the recent eleCtlOu 10 III Inc va
cancies it is said that Mr.. Schroeder was
absent, and that the new vestrymen were
elected by the rector voting with Messrs.
Berry and Taylor and then voting as the
presiding officer as the tie was an
nounced.
Frederick M. Kerby major Of the bri-
gade, and a member of Christ Church, In
discussing the question as to whether the
company would be moved to another
church in the southeast declared that in
his opinion it will not leave the parish.
as at the March election for the vestry
1t Is thought that vestry favorable to
the brigade effort will be elected and thus
the controversy will be settled.

Penalty for Violation.


There is a material difference between
the Senate and the House in the penalty
that is to be paid for a violation Of the
act. The Senate bill declares:
THAT any violation of this act shall
be punished by a fine of not less than
$25 and not more than 500. or by impris-
onment in the jail or the 'workhouse OF
the District of Columbia for not less than
five nor more than thirty days, or both
such fine and imprisonment in the dis
cretion of the court. The Commissioners
shall cause the corporation counsel to in
stitute criminal proceedings for the en-
forcement of this act before any court
of competent jurisdiction
The House has cut out the minimum
Limitations of So fine or five days i'm
prisonment, but it has provided that a
second or subsequent violation shall be
punished by fine of not less than $50
nor more than $500, or by Imprisonment
in the jail or workhouse for not less than
sixty days nor more than six months, or
both.
Both bills provide, in different ways for
forfeiture Of some principal or inter-
est, in the case of a violation OF the act,
as further penalty.
The Senate bill specifies:
THAT any person contracting directly
or indirectly for or receiving greater
rate of interest than that fixed in this
act shall forfeit all interest SO contracted
for or received; and in addition thereto
shall forfeit to the borrower a sum of
money, to be deducted from the amount
due for principal, equal to one-fourth OF
the principal sum-"
The House bill declares that whoever
violates any Of the provisions of this act
shall be punished by a forfeiture of all
unpaid interest" and by a fine or impris-
onment as before stated.
Features Of Each Bill.
Each bill contains some features not in
the other.
The Senate bill, for instance, specifies
that any government employe violating
any of the provisions of the act shall for
felt his position and be removed from it.
The Senate bill, too. contains a specific
statement that an individual may loan
his own money at a rate not to exceed 10
per cent per annum without having to
obtain the license provided for in the bill.
The Senate bill also would require the
annual statements Of all the licensed
money lenders to be published in a news
paper in the District as directed by the
Commissioners.
The House bill would make. pawn
brokers subject to the limitations as to
interest charges, ETC., Of q loan shark
bill.
The House bill specifies also that in
any foreclosure on any loan made under
| this act no charges for attorneys or
agents fees shall be made or collected
which will exceed 10 per centum Of the
amount found due in such foreclosure
proceedings"
