Fights Ohio Loan Sharks.

TOLEDO. O.. July i2-Chattel loan
agents in Toledo and other cities who
have been collecting amounts cOntinu-
Gusly from flood sufferers in Ohio will
have to manage their business care
fully after this, for directors Of the
Red Cross have their eyes on them
and will resist their attempts to take
relief funds which have been given
sufferers by the Red Cross.
They have asked for reports Of
eases III which loan agents have
pressed families who have lost their
household goods in the flood and who
are now being importuned to pay heavy
interest rates on their loans.
The action is part of nation wide
movement which Red Gross officials
are taking at the suggestion Of Arthur
II. Hall. head Of the department Of
remedial claims of the Russell Sage
foundation. who declares evidence has
been obtained TO show that a consider
able part Of Red Cross funds paid TO
cyclone sufferers in Omaha and to flood
sufferers in Indiana and Ohio have gone
into the pockets of chattel loan agents.

smuggling coolies across the border
were revealed in letters and docu-
ments taken yesterday upon the ar
rest of Wong Do King, head of Bing
Kung Tong, according to federal i'm

all who opposed or attempted to be-
tray the schemes of the highbinders.
Deportation of Wong will be sought
at once and other Chinese, powerful
in many American cities, will speedily
be prosecuted. Wong has for 20 years
been head of the Bing Kungs, the most
warlike and powerful of Chinese Sc
cret societies.
