THE bill to regulate the small loan

with an amendment reducing the interest

The President, in signing it, expressed
a doubt as to the adequacy Of the inter-

to sign the bill and trust to Congress to
increase tie rate later than to veto it
and render the long campaign entirely
fruitless.

Special to The Times DispatchJ

Washington, January 25.-The con-
olusion by the PuJo committee OF the
first part of its investigation and pos
sibly of the entire inquiry, brought the
question from many sources whether
all the fuss and mental turmoil over this
subject really had been worth while.
The consensus Of opinion among mem
bers of Congress was that the investi-
cation would yield good results even
If no. a shred of legislation is put on
the books
The most radical of the Democrats,
however, admit that the evidence
adduced by the committee does not
warrant the assertion that there Is a
money trust in the commonly accepted
meaning OF the term.

con nlittee as sustaining the contention
