Richmond, Va, Dec. THE gov.
einors' conference broke into storm
OF personal remarks and defiant utter
ances Just before adjournment, when
Governor Emmet O'Neal Of Alabama
offered resolutions putting the confer
ence on record against lynch law and
mob rule. Governor O'Neal, declar.
Ing that he represented state with
. large negro vote, prefaced his reso.
lutions with the remark that Ger.
tain member of the conference had
made remarks which had gone forth
tC the world which were OF nature
defiant of law and order and repug-
nant to law-abiding citizens, and the
conference should. without delay, re-
pudiate them as contrary to the views
Of the conference"
Governor Gilchrist Of Florida sec
onded the resolution offered by Gov
ernor ONeal.
Governor Mann Of Virginia offered
this as a substitute for the O'Neal
resolution: Resolved, that It Is the
sentiment of the conference of COVER
pors In session at Richmond, Va, that
the whole power of the several states
should be used whenever necessary to
protect persons accused OF crime OF
every kind against the violence OF
mobs, and to provide for speedy. or
derly and impartial trials by courts OF
competent jurisdiction, to the end
that the laws for the protection OF
life and property be duly enforced
and respected by the people,"
Fourteen of the governors voted fol
the resolution and four against. The
four that voted against II were: Don
aghey, Arkansas; Baldwin, Connect
cut: Hawley. Idaho; Kitchin. Nortf
Carolina. These four governors liked
the sentiment of the resolution. bu
thought It interfered with the privi
ieges OF the members Of the confer
epce expressing their views, in othel
words, a restraint of personal privi
leges."

by Governor Hadley Of Missouri, tina

Farm Loans lndorsed.
Former Governor Herrick addressed
the annual conference on the question
ci farm loans, explaining the plan for
the extension of credit to farmers on
as favorable terms as other classes
of people secure them, which he has
been advocating for some time.
The proposition that Ambassador
Herrick is urging is fast gaining pop
ularity throughout the country.
The only logical and practical
method for farmer to pay of loan
is by amortization, that is, by small
partial payments regularly made
That Is the dominating principle OF
all loan systems of European nations
The average length of loans there is
80 years and they may run for 75
years.
Mr.. Herrick's proposition was In
dorsed.

LOAN SHARK" ACT
PASSES In HOUSE
Measure Fixes Rate on Loans in
District at One Per Cent
Per Month.

After lengthy debate, the Levy
amendment TO the loan shark" bill,
which provides legal rate Of per cent
per month on small loans in the District,
was accepted by the House yesterday.
A motion to recommit the bill before It
was put on its final passage was made
by Representative Dyer, who led the
fight for q . per cent rate, as advocated
by the District Commissioners, but after
a roll call the motion was lost. The bill
was then passed. Dyer favored as a
compromise a rate OF III per cent.
Before a vote was taken on the Dyer
Madden moved TO amend the Dyer mo-
tion by making the rate 2 per cent on
loans up to $40 and ! per cent on loans
above that amount. The substitute was
lost by a vote of s. to Il. ...@
Representative Norris argued, in favor
Of a ] per cent rate, saying that in order
to get the people Of the District out OF
the clutches of the sharks it was best
10 make the rate as low as possible.
Representative Sharp declared in favor
OF the 2 per cent rate, and Representative
Fowler opposed the bill IN any form, on
the ground that Congress should not
legalize the lending Of money in any
way, shape, or form.
It was stated by Representative Dyer,
framer Of the bill, that the Central Labor
Union, the Woman's Welfare League the
Monday Evening Club, and the Asso-
ciated Charities all favored the passage
Of the bill with the rate fixed at per
cent.
