notes of AN Ordinance
Shortly Introduced,

IN ordinance regulating and
licensing the Cairo Money Trust"
viii very shortly be introduced fy
= member of the council.
This ordinance will be drafted
along the same lines as those in es-
feet now in over dozen Illinois
cities and which has faithfully with
stood every legal attack made upon
il in the courts.
This ordinance has practically
driven the Sharks" out of busi
ness.
It prascribes a license for revenue
purposes. but the regulations are SO
strict that the sharks leave the field
in preference to complying with the
terms, as a compliance drives away
patronage.
1t furthermore, in terms which
cannot be miseonstrued, states what
constitutes loan shark.
The penalties are heavy for VIC
lations.
There is a supreme court decision,
rendered in a Chicago case, sustain
ing the ordinance.

Secretary Steinhart of the lllinoi:

tion, representing thirty thousand
farmers, Lee G. Metcalf, presiden,
and s. w. Strong, secretary of the
Illinois Grain Dealers association
representing seven hundred elevator
concerns, as witnesses on the stant
today IL the hearing before the Ill.
ncis State Public Utility commission
voiced a protest against the pro-
POSED advance in Illinois grain
freight rates.
Board of Trade representatives,
and grain dealers of Cairo and Peo-
ria, also on tine stand today, showcG
conclusively that the present rates
on grain from points in Illinois to
Chicago were now against Cairo
which disadvantage would be fur
ther emphasized if further adj
vance was permitted.
The hearing will possibly be con-
cluded Friday morning, provided the
additional railroad witnesses do not
consume too much time in rebuttal
No evidence has yet been produced
by the railroads to show that Cairo
is not only entitled to what she now
has but that better concessions in
rates should be made.
No decision will be reached for
several weeks as the Utilities Board
of a necessity Will be compelled to
carefully review hundreds of pages
Of testimony and the immense nun

presented by both sides to the con-
trover5y.

Washington, Feb 26.--Presiden
Wilson took the position today that
for the United States to send ma
rines or armed foces ger Assy kifssf

government authorities, would ue an
act OF war. He denied emphatieally
that permission had been sought,
either of Gen. Huerta or Gen. Car
rama. and indicated clearly that no
request OF that character would be
made N the near future.
The president announced that no
change in the policy OF the Amerl-
can government on Mexico had Loen
decided upon.
The president had been asked,
particularly, about reports that
American troops might be sent
across the border to recover the body
'of William S. Benton. the British
subject recently executed at Juarez,
land concerning public dispatches
that the United States contemplates
sending marines into Mexico 10
guard the American Embassy. One
press dispatch saying Gen. TIuer:a
himself had stated today that ne
had refused permission to the United
States to send 1000 marines to-
Mexico City. was shown to President
Wilson who said 1t was untrue.
