SAYS HE ERRED
IN SEEKING MONEY
Rev. DIR. Hills Made Dramatic State
ment from Pulpit - Ready to
start Life Anew

F.. NEW YORK, Sept. 20 "a minister
has no right, maybe, to make money, and
perhaps does his best work without it. If
there is boy who thinks of me in connec-
ton with the lecture platform and making
money, let me say to him that there are
poor foreign missionaries and social work
ers and those in settlement houses whose
shoe latchets | am not worthy to stoop
down and unloose.'
These words were a part Of a statement
made by Rev. Dir. Newell Dwight Hills to
his congregation Yesterday morning, in
which he expressed regret for his depart
ure into business enterprises outside his
calling, and in which he declared his hope
to begin life again anew"
DR. Hills, who occupies the pulpit of
Henry Ward Beecher in old Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, and who was served
Saturday with the summons in a So ,000
slut for libel brought by Percy d. Hills, a
nephew, of Rocky Point, b. c., made his
statement Just before the morning sermon.
: He did this, he said, without the advice OF
| his personal counsel, f. w Hinrichs OF
! % Wall street.
| Mr. Hinrchs, in an interview with news
paper men, strongly intimated that his

PRESIDENT GETS DATA
on LOAN SHARK LAW
White House Aid Sought by Advocates
Of Proposed Amendment
to Act.

The White House yesterday was pre-
sented by William II. Baldwin and Henry
White. former Ambassador to France,
with evidence supporting their advocacy
of amendment of the loan shark law So
as to permit the levyinG OF per cent
interest month on loans. The present
law prohibits the charging OF more than
per cent. Secretary Tumulty said he
would place the matter before the Presi-
dent at the first opportunity.
More than a year ago the District Conf
missioners urged an increase of the legal
rate to l1-2 per cent month. Advo-
Gates of an amendment to the present
law maintain that the arrangement de-
prives the poor people of means of max
ing loans. as all the pawnshops have
been driven out of business. The pawn
shop. 1t has been pointed out. Is the poor
mans bank, and without the pawnshop
the poor man is left without banking
