Two Local Loan Men viii Hold
All Pledges as Long as
Interest Is Paid.

Discussing the new loan shark law"
which becomes effective in the District
Of Columbia tomorrow, George D. Horn
ing and A. Burntine today made a
joint statement as follows:
Regardless of what other Washington
awnbrokers may do, our concerns will
continue to receive interest on pledges
now in our possession, and will renew
tickets on pledges we now have in our
possession. We shall not go out Of busi-
ness in Washington, at least SO far as
regards protecting the property of our
patrons now in our possession. We want
our patrons to understand that al
pledges we now have will be taken care
Of and will not be sold or otherwise dis
posed of so long as the interest on the
loans is paid. Neither will property now
pledged to US be removed to offices out
side of the District Of Columbia
Both Messrs. Horning and Burnstine
said the report published yesterday, to
the effect that "pawnbrokers of Wash
ington" intended to quit business today;
did not intend to accept interest on out
standing loans. and purposed to forfeit
pledges now in their hands, had no ap-
plication whatever as far as they were
concerned, and that no patron of their
establishments need fear that pledges
now in their possession would not be
protected as long as the interest is paid
on the loans for which the pledges are
held as security.

NEW UTILITIES BODY
S|MPlF|ES PROCESS
District Electric Commission
Has Been Handicapped
in Its Work.

The passage by Congress of the meas
ure providing a public utilities commits
sion for the District is gratifying to the
members of the interstate commerce COM
mission, which has recommended that
such commission be created in its an
nual reports for several years past. John
H. Marble, secretary Of the interstate
commerce commission, who IS chairman
of the District electric commission, which
is superseded by the new commission,
believes that the sooner the public utiii-
ties body begins its work the better 1t
will be for the District.
The law creating the District electric
railway commission and giving it au-
thority over the local street railways is
ambiguous and there has been much dis
pute regarding the powers of the COM
mission which 1t created.
Duties Largely Advisory.
The electric railway commission has
been without much power itself, its chief
duties being largely advisory to the in
terstate body. This has resulted in a
roundabout method of working which has
consumed much time and has greatly
handicapped the commission. For long
time the street railway companies were
hostile to the commission and refused to
recognize its existence. OF late. how
ever, the companies have assisted the
commission in every way to improve local
utilities measure specifically states that
the governing Of the local street railways
shall no longer be under the direction OF
the interstate commerce COMMISSION out
by the utilities commission.
Just what will be the fate of III. Z.
Eddy, secretary of the District. electric
railway commission. has not yet been an
nounced. Mr.. Eddy has been secretary
Of the commission since its establishment,
and besides handling the Office work has
acted as chief field investigator.

instructed his chauffeur to ignore the rough places in the road and take them just about as they came. The ride was made without mishap and while some pretty rough stretches were encount- cred, there was no more inconvenience than there would have been upon a paved thoroughfare.
 The shock absorbers are simple in construction and do not in any way effect the cradle motion created by the ordinary springs. In addition to the comfort accorded a person riding in a car equipped with the road smoother, there is to be taken into consideration the wonderful saving in wear and tear upon the car. There can be no jar or shock. no matter how heavily the body may be loaded. It is an innovation that in the near future will be considered just as important a part of the equip ment as the steering gear.

PRIZE INDIAN BASKET s
 TWICE SOLD IN FEW HOURS

Mention has already been made in The Republican of the exceptionally fine baskets exhibited by the Pima In- dians at the fair this week. It may be of interest to know that the basket which won first prize was sold to E. L. Graves of Graves Indian Shop, for MT. Graves is ever on the alert for anything that is particularly desirable in Indian crafts MT. Graves kept the basket in his possession for only few hours, for he sold it yesterday to Mrs. C. A. Schraeder of Tucson, wife of pr. Schraeder of that city. Mrs. Schraeder already possesses an unusually fine collection of Indian baskets, and is re- garded as one of the Southwest's lead ing experts in basketry. She secured several excellent baskets from the Graves Indian Shop last year, and be- sides the prize winning basket bought this year, purchased several others of superior merit.-Advertisem

VICTIMS STORY
 IF 4 HOLO-UP
l.. L. Steward Relates His Experience With Fran cisco Gotta the "Sticker Up" of Automobiles: Took First Chance.

] Further details have been brought out regarding the odd and interesting l hold-up on North Central avenue the 1 other evening. Later facts developed in the case would indicate that MT l l.. L. Steward, who is the general manager of the Southwestern Build l ing and Investment company is very quick in making up his mind and | executing decisions. MT. Stewards version of the affair yesterday showed that after he had been held up by Gotta on North Central avenue half way between the Indian School and
 the Country club and forced to drive back toward Phoenix, when they ar rived at the junction of the Grand canal and Central avenue the robber halted MT. Steward, got out of the machine, all the while holding a gun on him, as if he meant to leave.
 In this movement MT. Stewards
 watch fob came in sight. Then Cota
 said: T want that watch, too," and
 took the watch, still holding the gun
 on MT. Steward. He then ordered
 that he be driven to Phoenix. When
 he got even with the Indian School
 he announced that he had changed
 his mind and would go to Glendale
 It was not until after starting in the
 direction of Glendale that MT. Stew ard became thoroughly alarmed fear
 ing that his life was in danger, be- cause he could easily be killed out on a lonely road and it would be hard to trace the perpetrator of the crime.
 Mr. Steward therefore made up his mind that he preferred to take a chance in a fight and decided that the proper time to do it would be when he was opposite some vehicle that he fight chance to pass in the road. His guess was right. At one time there was an automobile light some distance behind him, and at the same time he was about to pass a buggy containing two men. He necessarily had to slow down the car and Gotta, evidently i fearing to have the occupants of the 1 buggy see his gun pointed directly at | his driver began to pull the lapel of his coat in front of his gun. MT. Steward seeing his chance, instantly | threw his foot on the brake of his | car and threw his arms around his | assaiIant. It was then that severe scuffling ensued Then gun, being in ! the hands of Gotta, it was thrown ! straight up in the air, and at one time the gun struck Steward in the teeth, | but at no time was the gun in such !
 
 scufflng of course drew the attention [ of the men in the buggy. The gun i was finally knocked from Cota's hands | and landed in the rear of the auto. It was then that MT. Steward threw Gotta out of the machine on the ground, landing on top of him.
 Mr Steward, who is very strong man, had control of his assailant on the ground by the time the men in the other vehicle came to realize what the trouble was and came to assist him. It was then that MT. Steward asked that ropes and assistance be given him in tying Cota, and that was quickly done. Gotta was taken back to town at once in the machine.
 Mr Steward yesterday spent some time in trying to ascertain who the two men were in the buggy who helped pr. Gonzales to tie the bandit and get him back to Phoenix.

WOMEN USE MOVIES TO FIGHT
UNCLEAN SLAUGHTER HOUSE.

: Seeking to bring about better
slaughter house conditions, Grand
Forks women are using the moving
picture houses in conducting their
campaign. Plates showing the pres

are being thrown on the screen, an
tiquated methods of handling meat be-

The object sought is the construc-
ton of a municipal slaughter house,
and special election for the purpose
of voting on bonds to erect such a
slaughter house has been called.
The Grand Forks women, who al
ready have brought about splendid inn
provement in many lines of food hand
ling, are back of the slaughter house
proposition, being responsible for
launching the movement. They are
organized as the Women's Civic
League, and their first success was the
securing of the appointment of wo.
man pure food inspector, whose work
has attracted national attention.
They also have brought about san.
itation inspection, the appointment OF
a police woman, and various other re-
forms as affect the municipal govern.

s35,Ooo,O00 ANNUAL LOSS.

Careful estimates made in 1911
show that the farmers of the United
States lost about $35,0O0,OOO that year
through preventable fungous diseases
of their cereal crops, such as wheat,
oats, barley and sorghums. Not only
was the grain lost, to total value of
$35,000,OO0, but the farmer had to go
to all the labor and expense Of cutting
and handling the straw on which this
grain should have grown and did not.
Not only are the smuts preventable,
but they are preventable by cheap and
effective methods Of control, easily en-
ployed by any farmer. From so to
go cents worth Of prevention can pro-
duce from 5000 to $500 worth of grain
free from disease. Fuller information
concerning these methods of treat
ment may be obtained from the North
Dakota Development League Press
Bureau at Grand Forks or from the
U. s. Department of Agriculture, free
of charge.
