NOW UP TO HOUSE AND TAFT
Rejection of Legislation by Lower
Chamber Is Not Feared.
CUTS PAwNBRoKERs' INTEREST
Under New Law They Will Be Al
lowed to Charge Only 12. In
stead of SO, Per Cent a Year.

The Senate yesterday afternoon adopted
the conference report on the loan shark
bill All that now remains to make II
law is similar approval of the report by
the House and the signature of the Presi-
in thirty days after its passage it will
be in full force and effect
Adoption Of the conference report by
the House within short time is predicted
by the friends Of the legislation. The
Dill, as agreed to in conference for final
passage, is practically in the same form
as it passed the House in the last session
OF Congress. There We're twelve matters
of difference in the legislation between
the House and the Senate when the bill
went to conference. The House confer
ees Won their contention on nine of those
and yielded on only three, and those three
minor as compared with a number of the
other nine which the Senate yielded. The
predictions that the House will accept
the conference report are therefore based
on the fact that it will be practically an
other Endorsement of the bill in substan-
TALLY the same terms as it was first ap-
proved.
The proposition that the pawnbrokers
should be placed under the provisions of
the bill and their interest charges limited
as those Of money lenders to which the
Senate at first objected and which
threatened to prevent any legislative
action at all. was in the bill as 1t passed
the House. AS it was regarded as the
most important difference to be adjusted
in conference and as the Senate has
yielded on it. friends of the legislation
believe the rejection of the conference
| report by the House is not to be feared.

Had Rejected Sinclair's Attentions.

According to the story told by Miss
Steckel. she had rejected the attentions
of Sinclair on numerous occasions. but
that he persisted in trying to call on her.
Today she was returning from a shopping
tour and noticed a taXicab standing near
the front of her home. which is in Allen
towns fashionable residential section. AS
she was about to enter her home Miss
Steckel said she was seized by two men,
whom she recognized as sinclair and Starr.
and was forced into the cab, despite her
struggle and cries.
The driver of the taXicab in taking up
thy story at this point. said he had been
engaged al noon today by the two men
for a wedding" When the girl was
forcibly thrust into the cab, he said. he
suspected something was wrong, and
when given the order to drive fast into
the country" he determined to take the
party to the police station. The chauffeur
drove into Allentown's main street at ter
rifle speed. but in approaching Center
quickly enough. and crashed into the
monument.
Police Hear Girls Cries.
The police heard the cries Of the girl
and took the entire party to the police
station. After the girl told her story
of having been forcibly taken from her
home. and of the men throwing a
blanket over her head while in the
cab, she was taken home by her
parents, who had been summoned.
AT the police station tonight Sinclair
said that the girl loved him and that they
were to have been married in spite of the
fathers objections. but that the girl went
back on him. Sinclair's parents live in
Kennett Square, Pa. He is about thirty
years old. Starr is a resident of Philadel-

Approval Follows Brief Fight.

The Senate's approval of the conference
agreement came after a brief fight, but
was given with practical unanimity. Sem
ator Curtis, who has fought for the legis-
lation during several sessions of Con-
gress. was watching for the first oppor-
tunity to get action in the Senate. He
knew of the lobby fight that was being
made to defeat the legislation and he did
not wish to delay a minute longer than
necessary. His chance came immediate
ly after the Senate had fixed the time for
voting on the articles of impeachment of
Judge Robert w. Archibald OF the Com
merce Court. He then moved that the
Senate take up the loan shark confer
ence report.
Parliamentary inquiries were at once
made as to what effect such q motion
would have on other questions pending
before the Senate. When it was de-
termined that the adoption Of the motion
might displace the unfinished business,
Mr. Curtis temporarily withdrew his mo-
ton. He feared that the friends of the
amending the Constitution to provide a
single six-year term for the President OF
the United States-might knife the loan
shark bill to protect the six-year term
resolution. When the parliamentary situ-
alton had been cleared, Mr.. Curtis re-
newed his motion. On a viva vOce vote,
President Pro Tempore Bacon declared
THE nays appear to have it." Mr. Curtis
demanded a roll cell: the opposition to
the loan shark legislation was manifest
ing itself and Mr.. Curtis felt confident
of a majority in favor of the bill he was
backing.

THE main point in dispute between the
House and the Senate. Senator curtis
explained, in asking the adoption OF the
conference report, 'is whether or not the
pawnbrokers doing business In the city OF
washington should be included in this
loan shark bill, which places a limit IN
their charge of interest to II per cent per
annum. The Senate committee nrst LOOK

there was a separate law applying to

Why Pawnbrokers Were Included.
"ITnder the existing law they are per-
m;tted to charge 3 per cent a month or
ae ner cent a year. 1t was discovered. as
: stated before, that some of the loan
sharks in this city were charging poor
unfortunate men and women as high as
go per cent for the loan of money and
your committee. after a most careful
consideration. concluded that this bill
was the best method to put the loan
sharks out Of business. So they have re-
ported 1t.
"I think I may safely say that when
this question was presented to the COM
mittee (Senate District committee) the
vote was unanimous that rather than de-
feat the loan shark bill, the pawnDrok-
ers should be included in 1t. With this
statement. unless some senator wishes
to ask a question, l ask for vote upon
the report.
Senator Jones obtained recognition to
say:
II wish to ask the Senator from Kan
sas if the conference report preserves
the other regukStions now existing with
reference to pawnbrokers except as to
the rate.
THAT question was in discussion in
the conference" replied Mr.. Curtis. "A
majority of the conferees thought that
1t did cover them and that the existing
law would apply, only changing the rate"
