Companies Rendered Account.

| Chairman Johnson said that the com
panies which supplied money for trips
taken must receive an itemized account
and pointed out that the companies would
| hardly be willing to permit eXtravagan'
| expenditures.
Mr. RedfieId asked if the other govern
ment departments did not insist upon
having vouchers with itemiZed accounts
and Mr. Ingham replied that he did not
know. but that when he had made re-
turns to the Treasury Department they
had been accepted without comment and
without vouchers.
James +. Stone of Philadelphia testified
that the American Union Fire Insura nee
Comnany of which he is president. had
been organized in l9p9 and 1910. and had
been doing business since January. 1911.
Under questioning by Charles F. Carusi
of counsel for the companies, he said that
he had been harassed with all kinds of
questions by Alfred NJ. Best of New York
regarding the organization Of the Ameri-
can Union Fire Insurance Company, and
that finally he went over to New York
to see Mr. Best Mr.. Stone said that
Mr. Best had been criticiSing the organt-

Mr.. Best demanded to know the names

though it was perfectly willing to give
information to persons making request
with legitimate reason.

Stone said Best has called the manage
ment CT the Peoples National of Phila-

the American Union is called poor" He
said that the two companies had been
organized under practically the same con-
ditions.
Chairman Johnson asked IL Mr.. Best
held any official position as an insurance
investigator from any state. The answer
was he did not.
..Rut he endeavors to make us tell him
everything and then he puts what con-
struction he pleases on the matter and
publishes it, said Mr.. Stone. Mr.. Stone
said that Mr.. Best's methods amounted
to persecution and admitted that II he

DELAYS ACTION ON REQUEST
President Will Not, However, Pro
long Consideration of the Matter.
A NOTED EDUCATOR CALLS
Jigoro Kano, Head of Toxic School,
Declares He Admires the United
States and Her People.

The loan shark bill, now reposing III the
executive offices. will not become law be-
fore the end of the week, owing to re-
quests granted by- the President that each
side be heard as to its features. The
President himself did not seek the hear
ngs or wish any information on the pro-
posed law beyond the recommended ton of
the District Commissioners, but a number
of those favoring and opposing the meas
ure wrote to the White House asking to
he heard before the President acted. and
the requests We're granted. the hearings
to be held Saturday at 1870 O'Clock.
So far as known at the White House
the President would have signed the bill
upon it's return from the District Com
missiOners, favOrably indorsed by those
officials. had the requests not been made.
\ number of letters, also. have been re-
ceived at the White House from inter-
ested people. especially from men engag-
ed I'm the loan business. and who go on
to point out how the poor man will suffer
under the measure when he is in distress
and needs money.
Those Who Will Appear.
The President has agreed to hear the
arguments Of Henry +. Davis, the at
torney for the loan concerns: John p.
Colpoys of the Central Labor Union. who
is opposed to the bill: Bates Warren, an
attorney. who also seems to oppose the
bill, and W. Fl. Baldwin, who represent
ed the citizens committee so long in f;t-
vor of the enactment Of such a law. Mr.
Baldwin Is the only one at this time who
has asked to be heard in favor OF the
bill.
The White House, it is understood, does
not desire any extensive hearing, and
does not propose to prolOng considera tion
of the matter. If there are others entitled
to be heard they may be given the prvi-
lege at the time named and not after
ward.
The arguments already Presented at the
White House in letters cover the same
grounds familiar to the controversy dur
ing the years it has been raging.
japanese Educator Calls.
