It is forbidden the Jews during the

Syme's Statement.

tention of borrowers to their rights under
said Mr. Syme. IF patrons of the loan
companies are not required to pay more
than three-fourths of the principal due
the companies it stands to reason that
interest payments cannot be charged
While this Office is not called upon to
interfere in contractural matters between
individuals, it has gone the limit in its
endeavor to protect victims of the loan
companies. Notwithstanding. it has been
subjected to severe criticism by numerous
persons on the ground that it has failed
to do its full duty. These persons have
been more of a bindrance than a help
to the office.
Other Matters Neglected.
1.-THE loan shark cases have required
SO much attention that many important
legal matters have been neglected. The
work of the Districts legal department
has been practically paralyzed because
of the time given these cases. We have
saved borrowers thousands of dollars and
will continue to give them every possible
aid.
More than 100 persons called on the cor

their loans. 1t is expected that thousands
of cases will be presented this week. But
