The Junior class and the Sophie
mores played their closing game
Wednesday. The Juniors had a
swell alibi for the defeat they
believed they were going to get.
The ninth grade line averaged
100 pounds to the man against
their lis pound one. But they
were denied the privilege of using
the abb. The reason was simp-
ly this-the Juniors won by a
score of thirteen to nothing.
Both teams played exceptionally
fine ball, the tenth fumbled not
at all and the ninth but twice.
The Sophs did splendid work all
the way round but the tenth
grade men all played Mahans
ELEPHANTS and Paddocks. Those
of the tenth who played excep-
tionally we'll were Wideman,
Kennedy, Booth, Zimmerman,
Thurmond, Miller and five others.
Thurmond scored both touch
downs on perfect forward passes
from Booth. Another touch
down seemed imminent, with the
ball on the ninths five yard line,
when fate and the umpire in
tervened with ten yard penal.
ty. The only time the ninth
seemed in danger Of scoring was
when Pittman passed all the field
but Kennedy and was running at
full speed, when he gets in a
place like that it usually means
six points for his team, but
Kinky made a big league dive
and a number of ninth grade
rooters went home in disgust.

LOAN RATES ONLY
4SO PER CENT

Chicago, July 29.-While hearing the
bankruptcy case Of a worker earning
$14 week, Federal Judge Lands dis
covered that the interest rates OF Chi
cago loan agents is now only 4SO per
cent year. He found that on loans
of IS for a month 81, or 40 per cent
interest is charged. The court was as
sured that this rate smuch cheaper
than formerly. The workers wages
had been assigned until 1919. Judge
Lands ruled that the loan shark was
entitled to 81 on claim of SIS.

Lawson belongs to the working

away from the man who was killed.
The man killed was not millionaire,
but he was a useful tool of million
aire.
Lawson was also guilty of the crime
that has been responsible for more
bloodshed than any other crime ever
deyised-he was melting working
class slaves to revolt against their
slavery.
A lareg percentage of the capitalist
press admit that the conviction of
Lawson is disgraceful parody of JUS
tice. Governmental Investigations
have denounced that conviction and
sentence No one has attempted to
deny that the judge who tried, con-
victed and sentenced him was hired
by the Rockefeller interests to do that
very job. There is no doubt that the
jury that registered the verdict was
selected by the same interests.
But Lawson is still in the peniten-
tiary and Thaw is automobile riding.

ROCKEFELLER TURNS DOWN
PARTICIPATION IN LOAN
OF BILLION TO ALLIES

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Interest In
the efforts of the Anglo-French COM
mission to secure billion dollar loan
here for the allies was increased to-
day when it became known that an
attempt had been made to invite the
aid of the Rockefeller millions.
According to the best of authority,
]. Pierpon Morgan in person sounded
John D. Rockefeller, Jr, active head
of the Rockefeller interests, but was
compelled to report failure at night
session of the Anglo-French financiers
which did not break up until after
midnight.
Belief is expressed in Wall street
circles that the millions controlled by
the Rockefeller group will have no
part in the vast war loan, II the Anglo
French governments are able to float
it.
In addition to reporting upon the
present attitude of the Rockefeller
group, Mr. Morgan outlined to the for
eign financiers the general attitude Of
capitalistic and industrial interests
throughout the country. It is under
stood that the foreign commissioners
have made 1t plain thai the allied
governments will not consider higher
rate than five per cent for the IN
vestors and a rate of one and one-half
per cent for marketing.
II the Anglo-French governments are
able to obtain sufficient credit through
other means. loan Of considerable
less proportions than $1,000, ,000, 900
may be satisfactory.
Among the latest suggestions made
IN the conferences, it is understood,
is one that direct credit of $3.50, 0,OOO.-
900 be granted to the allies and that
another of $3.50, ,00O. 900 be arranged
through q syndicate Of bankers.

FORMER LOCAL BOY
DIRECTS BIG CIRCUS

The great IIagenbeck-Wallace cir.
Gus which visited Richmond today, has
more than passing interest to Rich

owner is a former resident OF the city.
Charles e. Cory who now directs the
destinies Of the Hagenbeck-Wallace
circus was born in Richmond, receiv-
ed his schooling here and remained
here until his early twenties when he
became identified with the circus bus
mess in connection with the Wallace
circus B. E. Wallace, for years sole
owner of the amusement senterprise
bearing his name, is an uncle Of MIR.
Cory and the latter became the gen.
eral manager of the Wallace shows.
When the Hagenbeck circus was merg-
ed with the Wallace shows, Mr.. Cory
continued in the capacity Of manager
and some time ago when Mr.. Wallace's
interests were absorbed by a stock
company, Mr.. Cory became principal
owner, as we'll as continuing in the
capacity Of director. During today Mr..
Cory met many Of his old.time friends.
