The laws OF the country. the type or

may work TO prevent the succcssi VI

New York Chicago and other large cities
for the primary purpose Of losning small
sums OF money 20 wage earners without
collateral security.
Despite this array of obstacles. it Is ex-
pected. however, that julius Rosenwald

drew Carnegie and other wealthy and
philanthropic men will become largely in
terested in the new project. which 1t is

Scepticsm as 10 the success Of The
banking enterprise, criticised from brief
outline OF the plans submitted recently
by Mr.. Rosenwald in Berlin, was OK
pressed yesterday by Frank Tucker vice
president OF the Provident Loan Society
OF New York
1T is said that the scheme * copied
from system employed by banks IN
Europe" Mr.. Tucker said If that IS
true, fear for It's application here.
"One OF the first obstacles in working
out plan to accomplish the object set
out by Mr Rosenwald is that OF obtain
inc T
that will bring the enterprise under the
banking laws Of the various states. when
impose a variety of conditions under
which such deposits NAV be loaned. In
any event, the ENTERPRISE is subject 10
the usury laws of the state, which laws
usually fix rate Of interest so low
as TO make the operation impossible
financially"
Mr. Tucker added that. IN his opinion.
the institution Of such banking enter
prise as is planned would threaten the
existence OF savings banks and would
cause radical change in the banking
laws.
Details Of the plan for the new banking
system could not be ascortained Nester-
day from Or. Gould He said they world
be explained fully b. the end of lie
month. He intimated that sufficient
funds TO test the new enterprise would
be obtained by philanthropic contribu-

held that the decision in this case vas
not q bar against the maintenance OF

Francis r. Stoddard jr. recently elect

said yesterday that he would introduce
the measure "Wednesday, and he CONT
IDENTIFY expected that IT would pass both
houses. because IT embodied the wish OF
the President OF the United States. who
pardoned Dr. Morton. for the purpose OF
having him resume his medical work
As told exclusively in The Tribune Of
Christmas Day after President Wilson
pardoned the eminent neurolosist from
the federal prison at Atlanta, where he
served term after conviction in con-
noction with alleged fraudulent mining
transactions. Dr. Morton's friends discov-
cred that the medical law of this state
appeared to contravcne the terms OF the
pardon.
The pardon contained the words. that
he may resume the practice Of mcdl-
cine" Mr. Stoddard's bill is intended TO
correct this error. Mr.. Stoddard said II
was possible that opposition might de-
velSp among some Of the doctors. but he
thought, in view OF the fact that the
legislation was intended only to carry
out the terms OF the pardon, opposition
would have little weight.
Mr.. Stoddard has additional ammuni-
ton. it is understood, in the way of rec
concentrations from prominent persons
