SESSION OF
AMERICAN BAR

Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh H. Brown ar
rived yesterday from the east and
continued on to their home in Tono-
pah. While in Washington, Mr..
Brown attended the annual sessions
of the American Bar Association and
the National Conference of Commits
sione-s Oh Uniform State Laws. MI.
Brown and Judge Cheney of Reno at
tended the conference as commission
ers from Nevada. Mr.. Brown said of
the meetings held in Washington:
THE commission has been in ex-
istence for "a years. Its purpose is
to bring about uniformity in state
legislation throughout the country,
more particularly in business law.
Two of the uniform acts already have
been adopted in Nevada, namely, the
Negotiable Instruments act and the
Warehouse RECEIPTS act. The Nego-
table Instruments act has been adop-
ted in every state of the union.
AT the recent session in Washing
ton the commissioners gave to the
country three new acts, namely, the
Partnership act, the Cold Storage act
and the Workman's Compensation act
The proposed Uniform Business Cor
poration act vas held under consider
alton for another year. Eight years
were spent on the Partnership acti
four years on the Workman's Com
pensation act; and four years have
been spent on the Business Corpora
ton act. A proposed uniform act on
banks and banking will be prepared
during the next year. and will re-
ceive preliminary consideration at
the annual conference in 1915.
"Ex-President Taft addressing the
conference of commissioners said:
The lawyers of the country cannot
engage in any field of endeavor that
is more important to the country than
the effort to bring about uniformity
in the law
Congress lacks the power to legis-
late in certain branches of the law,
which ought to be uniform through
out the nation. The power resides
with the several state legislatures.
THE states, in turn, are looking to
the commission on Uniform States
laws to draft statutes on these sub
jects. Some of the states make an
annual appropriation to assist in meet
ing the expense of the work. The
commissioners themselves receive no
compensation Gazette

THE SHEPHERD OF
THE Hills COMING

-. .#-t g. HH .|
The Shepherd OF the Hnls," Har-
old Bell Wrtghts novel, which has
been accorded the largest sale in the
history OF publishing in America, has
been made into a play by Mr.. Wright
with the assistance Of Elsberry w.
Reynolds. 1t will be seen for the Sec
ond time in this city at the Bradley
Opera House, November, g..
1t tells a beautiful story of the
Ozark mountains, a story that holds
the auditor by its thrills from the be-
ginning to the end. 1t is unique In
character-drawing, giving to the stage
a somewhat new atmosphere. The
beauty of the Ozark mountain region
lends itself to some very effective
stage pictures, and Gaskill & MccVit
ty, the producers, are said to have
given the play an exceptionally beau
tiful mounting.

LOAN SHARKS
BAGGED BY U. 5.

What Is claimed by United States
government agents to be one Of the
most -gigatic get-rich-Quick schemes
Of the last decade, with r~amlhcations
reaching from Vancouver, B. G.
reaching the cities OF tie Pacific coast
and as far east as Reno. has just been
brought to light by the federal in
dictment at Seattle of officers and
agents Of the National Mercantile
company, Limited, Of Vancouver, a
concern which is represented in Ne
vada by G.. W. Brown, of Reno.
Brown and other state agents south
of the northern federal district have
not been Indicted.
According to the federal officials,
and representatives of the various
states in which the company has op-
Grated, the National Mercantile COM
pany is a huge loan shark" con
Germ which has bilked farmers through
GU the west, by means of a clever
swindle, u of millions of dollars.
In Sacramento, it is alleged, a local
agent Of the company raked in $780,
600 in a few weeks.
Scores of Nevada farmers, and
other realty owners are said to hove
been made patrons of the company
here in Reno. What the receipts of
the Reno office have been, however,
could not be learned last night as
Brown the Nevada manager could not
be located.
The scheme Of the company, has
been an alluring one. The advertise
ments of it's agents notify the public
that "3 per cent money is offered to
loan for all purposes, to buy, build or
improve homes, or pay off mortgages
which are being carried at a higher
rate of interest, with eleven years to
repay" The mere announcement that
money can be borrowed at three per
cent has caused farmers, among whom
the company has especially worked,
to flock to its various state offices.
To the applicant for a loan the ag-
ent explains that the scheme is a "co-
operative one" requiring the pros
pective borrower to pay into the COM
pany, under an iron clad contract, ten
dollars each month beginning at the
signing of the contract. Loans of $1,000
or more, then are made to these ap-
plicants "in rotation" as fast as the
amounts desired are accumulated
from the monthly payments. The plan
has sounded alluring, but in practice
1t has meant that the
average applicant for the
loan must pay into the COM
pany sums a~ggregating from $500 to
$500 before he ecures his $1,000
loan. In countless instances the ap-
plicants have paid amounts ranging
up to $500 into the hands of the COM
pany and then, discouraged, default
ed, losing the money paid without
hope of ever getting it back.
The officials of the company indict-
ed at Seattle were. George E. Still
ings, president; Charles Merrill, Seat
tie agent; R. c.. Oeder, of Tacoma;
]. d. Tendon, of Aberdeen; A. d. Ba-
ker, of Portland; C.. P. Nellist and
Orlando k. Fitzimmons, Of Vancouv-
er, B. c., and three other agents
job H. Sears, H. P. Sage and C. o..
Smith.
The investigation of the company
which led to the federal indictments,
was instfgated by state insurance
commissioner, of California, George
Walker.
