SITE FOR GREEK PAGEANT
SELECTED BY COMMITTEE

The block of land bounded by 18th and
V streets and Florida and New Hamp-
shire avenues northwest has been def
nitely chosen for the site of the Greek
pageant-drama to be produced in this city
in May. This announcement was made
at the meeting this afternoon of the
joint committee on the pageant of the
Board of Trade. Chamber of Commerce
and Retail Merchants Association, Isaac
Cans, chairman. Although the horse
show association controlling the horse
show grounds at 18th and E streets
northwest had offered the latter site, it
was explained that the transportation ia
cilities leading to the 10th street site made
it preferable. A letter of thanks is,
therefore, to be sent to the horse show
association with this Information and the
offer declined.
Leon Mooser of the American Pageant
Company, which is to stage the produc-
ton, made the following suggestion as
to the division Of that portion of the
receipts that are to go to charity: Char
tiles to the number of about half
dozen are to be picked out, the one dis
posing of the largest number of seats to
get 40 per cent, next largest 80 per cent,
third 20 per cent and fourth 10 per cent
This suggestion apparently met with the
hearty approval of the members of the
joint pageant committee and was or
dered transmitted to the subcommittee on
charities.

Renewal of Request for Delay.
Profit to Companies
Caused by Long Delay

Borrowers Of money at illegal rates of
interest were advised today By w. H.
Baldwin, chairman of the citizens COM
mittee which backed the loan shark.
law. not to pay anything further on such
loans after the trials of these cases be-
gin next Tuesday. Mr.. Baldwin said
that the loan sharks are seeking to
get more than they are entitled to under
the new law
1t will be well for borrowers not to
pay anything further on unlawful loans
until after the trials next Tuesday," said
Mr.. Baldwin, unless. of course, the
company will settle on the basis of three
quarters of the principle of all loans
made since the law took effect year
ago. without any interest
Companies Welcome Delay.
The delay allows the companies to
keep their offices open that much longer,
and SO continue their efforts to get all
they can. They are using this oppor-
tunity. as they have been. to dun their
victims for all they have agreed to pay,
and are working the trick of urging the
borrower to make a new loan at legal
rates, but taking out all that is due
on the previous loan at cut-throat rates.
They do this to avoid allowing the for
felt Of one-fourth OF the sum borrowed,
| which the law allows the borrower, and
get all the unlawful interest in addition.
A Typical Case.
For INSTANCE. a case came to me yes
terday where a man had borrowed so
and agreed to make eight monthly pay
ments of $780, or $31.2O for it, which
figures 40 per cent per annum. He has
made five Of these, amounting to $3.50,
so he only owes 50 cents on the sum he
borrowed. and the legal interest would
be about so cents more. The loan shark
is now prodding him up for the payment
due this month. ard offers to lend him
$50 more to be paid in four monthly pay
ments, with interest at per cent per
annum, provided he will pay out of 1t
the $11.70 yet claimed on the old loan.
Company Owes Victim.
1.-The man has lawful claim on the loan
shark for $3.50. because the law reduces
the amount he owed to SIS, three-Quar-
tiers Of the $50 he borrowed, and he has
already paid $3.50; but instead of this
the loan shark Is demanding $11.7O from
him. difference of 5000 on this small
transaction, and will get it II the man
| makes the new loan.
Trick Is Successful.
This trick is being worked right along,
| and will be as long as the suits are de-
ferred. and the offices kept open. No
borrower should do anything of this kind,
nor be afraid of threats.
Louis Gutenberg, in the Colorado build
ing, will help in any settlement, and
borrowers are recommended to go to him
| II demands are made.
IF any agreement is made by the cor
poration council about the cases, it ought
| to stop this imposition. and If nothing
| is done in that way. the trials ought to
stop the unlawful business entirely"

nouncement made by representatives of
the District corporation counsers office.
Failure of the money-lending con-
Germs to ratify a compromise agree

cision was reached Roger J. Whiteford

GRAFTON was that the companies should

The pathetic side of the operations of
civil service rules in connection with
fourth class postmasters was personal

ice rules.

Wilson Says Other Nations
Regard Panama Canal Act
as Violation of a Treaty

President Wilson has revealed in talks
with callers that the South American
press had Joined European countries
in regarding the Panama canal act as
a. violation OF treaty. Mr.. Wilson
pointed out that perhaps there was a
mistaken impression as to his reason
for desiring the repeal. He emphasized
that it was not his own opinion alone
that a mistaken economic policy and a
breach Of treaty was involved.
Mr.. Wilson said he was asking none
to reverse his opinion. but merely to
correct q situation. He feels that those
the question of whether there was q
breach OF treaty or not do not realize
that their own opinions are not the
main point involved.
Points Out Chief Issue.
The chief issue. he pointed out, was
the attitude taken by foreign govern
ments. and just SO long as they con-
sidered that the United States was
violating a promise it would be difficult
to make any more new treaties with
them
Mr.. Wilson said that congressman were
not being called upon to compromise their
attitude because the necessity for a re-
peal was based on considerations which
were not in their minds when the origi-
nal action was taken.
There was deep feeling in the Presi-
dents voice as he explained the situa-
ton to one group Of callers. He referred
to the American nation as too big and
powerful to be ungenerous or captious in
its construction Of treaties.
Interpretation Of Obligations.
The United States, he believes. is too
big to say, 1--WE will do just as little as
possible and as We please in Interpreting
our obligations" He insisted that the
large thing for the United States to do
was voluntarily and ungrudgingly to
make it's own ships pay tolls on an
involved were too small as compared
with the international Inconvenience and
loss of prestige which he thinks perma-
nently would be occasioned.

Gallinger Offers Substitute.

Differing materially as to the true
American doctrine Senator Gallinger.
republican floor leader, today offered a
substitute for the resolution Of Senator
Lewis introduced yesterday for the re-
peal of free tolls. Both resolutions went
over until tomorrow, because of Senator
Lewis absence.
Senator Lewis prefaced his resolution
by the statement that ''the true Ameri-
can doctrine of equal and exact justice
to ALL special privileges to none" de-
manded the repeal.
Senator Gallinger's resolution read:
Resolved, That in pursuance of the
true American doctrine that American
interests are safer in the hands of
Americans than in the hands of Euro
pean or other foreign nations, it Is the
sense Of the Senate of the United States
that under the terms Of the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty the United States can grant
free passage through the Panama canal
to American coastwise vessels and that
any attempted denial of that right by
European or other foreign powers is an
unwarranted demand on their part
which cannot be conceded without sur
render of rights that lie at the founda-
ton of our government and which Ameri-
can interests and American honor de-
mand shall be maintained at all hazards.
Resolved further. That there is
neither necessity nor justice in repeal
ing the free tolls provision of the Pan
anna canal act, the purpose of the ex-
empt1on being to aid American ship
ping in its unequal contest with the
subsidized shipping of other countries,
which will probably include the pay
their vessels passing through the
canal -

Inquiry Is Important.

Il MIS- bureaus interest in the reSolu-
ton now pending before the committee
on education and labor lies only in the
| fact that favorable action would enable
| 1t to answer one of the many legitimate
calls for Information on subjects which
are properly the bureaus field of inquiry.
Data as to the cost of living for wage
earners are highly important If not alb
| solutely necessary, for an adequate in
| depreciation of figures bearing upon av-
i erage earnings, hours and conditions Of
| labor, but the bureaus resources have
made cost-of-living Investigations impos-
| sible since 1901. The calls for inforIna-
| ton on any phase of this subject, even
| in the District of Columbia, cannot be
| answered unless Congress grants the ap-
preparation called for in the resolution
now before the committee.
Permit me to say, however, that as it
| Is my purpose. when resources will per-
NIT. to furnish the necessary measure
| ment of the purchasing power. of earn
ings by making surveys of wage earn
| ers budgets, the study in the District
| of Columbia would be conducted with
| principal reference to this general object.
| In other words, while the investigation
would, Of course, develop data, concerning
the cost of living for self-supporting
wage-earning women. concerning whom
organizations and individuals in the Dis
trict of Columbia are just now pressing
| for Information. the study would in no
sense De cOn1lneO TO InlS class OF wage
earners, since they form less than %
per cent of the District wage-earning
women and much smaller proportion of
| the total number of wage-earning men
| and women.
OF Questionable Value.
Furthermore. 1t Is not too much to say
| that information concerning the cost of
| living for self-supportng wage-earning
| women would be of questionable value
| without information as to the cost of
| living Of the normal wage-earning family,
| of which in 70 per cent of the cases these
| women are members. Therefore. as you
| will see from the attached sheets. the
estimate for the expense of the investga-
ton is made upon the supposition that
| the normal wage-earning family Is the
| principal factor in the problem
Scope Of Investigation.
| In speaking of the scope of the investi-
| cation, Mr.. Meeker says:
1.-The results of this investigation will
! not show the cost of living throughout the
District. 1t will show only the cost of
| living for men and women employed in
manufactures, in trade and transporta-
| ton. In other words, 1t will not show
| the cost Of living for various classes of
government employees. The funds request
| ed, 5000, would not permit of such a
study along the lines laid down for this
investigation"
