Big VICTORY FOR
Ben JOHNSON
He Kills Amendment to His Loan
Shark And Pawnbrokers' Bill.

Washington, Jan s.-A big victory
was won today by Representative Ben
johnson when the Senate conferees on
the District loan sharks and pawn
brokers bill eapitulated and withdrew
amendments to the bill which Johnson
has been pushing. The bill will be
passed now, and the effect will be dis
astrous to loan sharks and pawnbrokers.
It increases the license from 800 to
$500 and reduces materially the inter.
est they may charge.
The mystery surrounding the espion-
age OF Representative Ben Johnson
for period covering several weeks
last spring, was partly cleared today
as the result of information which, he
says, was given him by Major Sylves-
ter, local Chief of Police.
Major Sylvester, according to Mr..
Johnson, told him last night that, after
reports had become circulated about
men shadowing him, he 1.-THE Chief Of
Police put his men on the case to as.
certain If this we're true. He found
that private detectives from Baltimore
were doing the shadowing, or part Of
it, and that they were in the employ
of interests opposed to Mr.. Johnson S
course in District affairs. Thus, while
the Kentucky Representative was be-
ing watched, his watchers also were
under espionage, it seems.
