favor Higher RATES
FOR LOAN AGENCIES
Associated Charities Endorses Bill
Sent to Congress by Commissioners
Increasing Legal Interest.
WOULD AID POOR, IS CLAIM

A memorandum indorsing the bill sent
to Congress by the District Commission
ers providing a rate OF interest higher
than l per cent on small loans was
adopted at a meeting Of the board Of
managers of the Associated Charities
yesterday. A copy of the memorandum
was ordered filed with the House Dis
trict Committee. where the proposed bill
now is under consideration.
The memorandum recites the fact that
the rate permitted must be sufficient to
attract capital into the business of max
ing small loans on chattels or promis-
sorry notes. The board expresses the
opinion based upon its experience in deal
ing with those in need that every effort
should be made to place this class of
transactions upon a business rather than
upon a charity basis. The board insists
that the poor man should not be discrim-
mated against in his effort to maintain
his self-respect and independence, which
will be the case il the rate is so low
that the money cannot be furnished him.
Attention is called to the fact that
the class of loans under consideration
are not negotiable through the ordi-
nary commercial bank and trust COM
panies. The experience of the Asso-
ciated Charities in the administration
OF its own needy hour loan fund" is
referred to- showing that the losses in
collections have been very heavy, and
that wherever people have come to the
society who had negotiable security or
proper indorsers, the organization has
preferred to refer them to a remedial
loan company in order that the trans
action might be put upon a strictly
business basis.
Those present at the meeting were
Corcoran Thorn, president; William II.
Baldwin. Mrs. Gist Blair, Miss Mabel T.
Boardman, Judge William H. De Lacy,
DR.. George NJ. Kober. Miss Helen Nico-
lay. DR.. William c. Rives. DR.. Willard S.
Small. Miss Florence P. Spofford, DR..

Representatives of the citizens COM
mitee which has been investigating for
several years the loan shark" question.
appeared before the House District Com
mitee yesterday. w. II. Baldwin. chair
man; the Rev. John Van Schaick, jr.,
Walter S. Ufford. secretary of the Asso-
ciated Charities, and Mrs. Archibald Hop
kins, were the speakers. They held that
the present rate of interest is not sufi-
cient TO attract capital.

SHAMROCK OFF FOR GOTHAM
RACE POSTPONED ONE YEAR

New York, Aug. 15.-Sir Thomas
Lipton's Shamrock ". is on the way
here from Bermuda, and after its ar
rival, which will probably be Sunday,
may put on racing rig and undergo a
tuning up, but there will be no races.
this year for the Americas cup, for
which ii is the challenger.
This was definitely decided yester-
day when the New York Yacht club
received from the Royal Ulster Yacht
club. the challenging organization. a
cable message expressing agreement
with the local clubs opinion that be-
cause of war conditions in Europe the
cup races should go over until next
year.
Orders were sent at once to the
Herreshoffs at Bristol to put the sloop
Resolute out of commission. The
the other potential cup de-
fender, is already laid up at City is

DAY IN DA NEWPORT

Grocer Victim Bad Check Game
Louis l.. Fahrner, proprietor of the
grocery store at COL Harrison street,
was swindled out of $50 by a clever
bad check artist yesterday. y de-
scription of the criminal has been CIV
en- the police and plain clothes men
have been detailed on the case. About
IL o'clock a young man entered the
store and ordered 81 worth of gro
ceries, which he had sent to a bogus
address. In payment for same he ten
derer a chez kfor $40, drawn on the
First National bank of this city and
made payable to and endorsed by l..
L. Schaefer. Mr.. Fahrner cashed the
check, giving the customer his change,
and the latter then effectually disap-
peared. Some time later, after the
driver had been unable to locate the
address given, Mr.. Fahrner became
suspicious as to the value of the
check. He called up the bank and
account there.
Authorities Descend Upon Greek
Resort.-Acting on information that a
blind tiger" was flourishing at a
Greek resort located at 402 East Sec
ond sstreet, Detective Phelan and Of
ficer Jansen raided the place, taking
eight prisoners. Jim Hodges, booked
as the keeper of the disorderly house,
was given a five-day sentence in the
county jail. Mike Papas, also booked
as a keeper. was fined S10.35. Crist
Polas. Peter Bit Tom Cawitski, Gust
Lemne and Max Krieg all paid fines
of $685. as inmates. Wallace Morgan,
booked as an inmate, was dismissed.
Crook is Head OF Lsundrymen-At
the annual meeting and banquet of the
Tri-City Laundrymen's clup held at
Zum Alien Dorf, l.. J. Crook of the
Crook Bros. laundry was chosen presi-
dent. Twenty-eight members of the
trade and their wives were present.
The society was formed five years ago
but has not been active for some
time. From now on meetings are to
be held monthly. Manager Atwood of
the Geneseo Steam Laundry, former
president of the Illinois State associa-
ton, was one of the guests at the ban
quet. Moline will probably be chosen
for the next meeting and at that time
laundrymen from Galva and Kewanee
Will have delegates at the gathering.
The meeting last night was largely of
a social nature. The full list of Of
fcers is: President - L. j. Crook
