nssses Against Salary Loan

Miss Frances L. Hyland. former
manager of the State Brokerage Com
pany. salary loan concern at $50
Broad street, was found guilty In
Quarter Sessions Court today before
Judge Martin after a Jury had de-
liberated less than an hour over the
evidence in the case.
The specific charge against Miss
Hyland and John E. Crater, who Was
Jointly indicted with her, was main
tanning a disorderly house, the al
legged disorder consisting of charging
usurious rates OF interest on loans
made to clients Of the brokerage COM
pany. A severance OF the indictment
was obtained Yesterday by Frederick
X. Lehlbach. as counsel for Crater,
he contending that Crater had no
actual connection with the brokerage
business. and Miss Hyland was tried
alone.
After evidence had been adduced
Yesterday afternoon by the State
from clients of the company, mostly
railroad men. showing that they had
paid excessive rates of interest for
loans. the defense rested its case
without putting any witnesses on the
stand. The witnesses for the State
had recited tales of loans of $50 and
So0 obtained from the company. In
one instance Harry 3. Osmun, now q
patrolman in the Sixth precinct, had
borrowed $55, had paid back $210 and
still owed in the neighborhood of $50.
Charles A. Chase borrowed $35, had
paid back personally 5000, while his
mother had paid 500, and the brok-
erage company still claimed $S4 as
due from him.
Frank e. Bradner, counsel for Miss

that 1T had not been shown by the
State that usury had been collected
from any of the borrowers, but that
instead they had paid extra amounts
OF money to Miss Hyland at times~ to
Keep her from presenting assign
ment orders she held on their salaries
TO their employers. II the assign
nent orders had been presented. the
men testified. they would have been
discharged.
Therefore they willingly paid extra
money, but not as interest. cit might
savor of blaclmail or getting money
under duress,' said Mr.. Bradner to
the Jury, but II was not collecting
He also contended that the indict-
rnent Tzes Illegal, but in bis charge
today Judge Osborne stated thatElza
could not see the force OF Mr.. Brad
ner,s argument in this connection
Judge Osborne devoted his charge to
the purely legal aspects of the case
and made no comments on the prac-
tises Of salary loan concerns in charg-
ing exorbitant rates Of interest.
Miss Hyland heard the verdict of
guilty without a tremor.
While Mr. Bradner refused to dis
cuss the matter Immediately after
the conviction, 1t is understood that
an appeal will be taken to the higher
courts on objections raised in the case
by Mr.. Bradner.

Governors Failure in Test
ProblematicaI, Nevertheless

IspeciaI TO the Newark s,ar.I

TRENTON. Oct. 30-Whether or not
Acting Governor Leon r. Taylor failed
in an examination for lieutenancy in
Company H, Third Infantry. of the
National Guard, is problematical. As
second lieutenant of his company he
took an examination for promotion in
rank.
An outpost problem was sent him
and he mailed the answer to Captain
Walter L. Auter. Lieutenant Taylor
received notification that he had been
marked deficient
Captain Auten has since Informed
him that his letter was never received
and 1t was understood by the author
tiles that he failed TO answer the
outpost problem
1t is now a question as to whether
Lieutenant Taylor failed, on the basis
of his answer TO the problem. or
through failure of his letter TO reach
the proper destination in time
In any event. Acting Governor Leon
r. Taylor is. by constitutional decree,
commander-in-ch of the military
and naval forces of this tight little
State Of New jersey.

Cheap Money for Georgia.

Atlanta, August 18.-Of the
six national banks in this city
which loaned the State of Geor-
gia $475,OOO to pay the school
teachers. five charged three pt r
cent interest, and it has just been
learned one of them charged only
two per cent.
The Atlanta National Bank,
one of the foremost financial in
situations of the south, was the
one that charged only two per
cent, and loaned 100000 of the
$475, 900 borrowed. All the banks
made these loans simply for pa
triotic reasons. They lose money
on the loans even at three per
cent, as they have to pay six per
cent and over for the money in
New York. While all of them
went into their Golfers thus gen
erously, the Atlanta National was
particularly patriotic.
The money was borrowed in
accordance with a resolution pass
ed by the legislature authorizing
Governor Slaton to borrow the
money to pay the teachers, who
were many months behind. Gov.
Slaton issued an appeal to all the
national banks in the state, but
outside Of Atlanta no rate of less
than four per cent interest was
offered.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Mean. Sarcastic Teacher.

In well-known Boston school there was
boy consp!cuously dull at his latin. He was
straightforward fellow. and a gentleman by birth
and breeding, but he bungler at syntax
One morning he had tangled himself in simple
phrase The teacher asked a question that
should have cleared him. But the poor lad did
not know the answer Then the teacher leaned
back in his chair rolled his gray eyes to the
ceiling. and said for all the class to hear: Il
have been told that ii is hard thing to stuff
a wildcat with butter. particularly if you have
to do 1t with hot anvil but that is childs play
compared with putting latin in boy like this"
OF course the laugh came, but as the boys
laughed they despised the teacher.
Sarcasm" said Carlyle, sis the language OF
the devil" BE that 1t may, II has turned
many a schoolroom into place of torment.
A boy may be too dull to be in school but
while allowed to he there he never be dull
enough to Justify knife thrust from one whose
first duty is to help and cheer Mm.
In a strong suburban high school, not long
ago teacher so disturbed and depressed his
classes that a justly angered parent brought him
to the notice of the school board. few even
ngs later he found the teacher in his front hall,
profuse in apologies Parents of troubled chtl-
dren should know that every competent school
board regards sarcasm in the teacher as poison

ASSAULTS ON DECENCY.

Our hand to the Lynchburg Ke,os. the New

The World might have added that the only
