LOAN SHARKS WILL
TRY TO BEAT LAW
Employ Attorneys and Case Of City
Against Jules Althaus Appealed
to Supreme Court.
WILL ACT AS A TEST CASE

Chattel and salary loan dealers Of
Omaha have combined in an effort to
defeat in the courts the anti-loan
shark law passed by the last legisla-
ture. They have retained the law
firm OF smyth, Smith & schall, as a
result Of whose efforts a former anti
loan shark law was knocked out and
test case has been started on its
way to the supreme court.
Attorney schall. who will attempt to
convince the supreme court that the law
should be held void, maintains that II is
unconstitutional on the alleged grounds
that II IL special legislation and that II
takes property without due process of
law. Attorney ]. p. Palmer. who as a
member OF the legislature fathered the
law, will take an active interest In as
slsting the city legal department to de-
fend II.
Case f. Appealed.
A test case initiated in police court and
appealed 70 district court by julie Althaus.
the defendant, was quickly disposed of by
District Judge Sears. who fined Althaus
t26 for violations OF the law which he adj
mltted. Judge Sears held that the law
was constitutional and Attorney Schall
Immediately took an appeal
Aitheus was charged in police court by
Attorney I. J. Mcguire. representing the
city with having engaged IN the chattel
and salary loan business without securing
city license and with having charged
more than 10 per cent the maximum rate
OF interest allowed by the anti-loan shark
law. AlthauA admitted the facts as al
legged and appealed TO district court Fol-
lowing an immediate hearing he was fined
s25. motion for arrest Of judgment on
the ground that the law was unconsu-
tutional was filed In his behalf which
was overruled by Judge Sears. BY this
means the case was carried 20 the SUI
preme court without delay.
AIIeRe DISCRIMINATION.
The anti-loan shark law provides that
chattel and salary loan dealers may not
charge more than 10 per cent, but that
they may charge fees for examination
OF applicants and for preparing papers.
Attorney schall indicated that the de-
Tense may turn this clause 10 advantage
IN the attack on the constitutlonality Of
the measure. by alleging that the clause
discriminates against banks and other
financial agencies. which have not the
privilege OF charging such fees. The clause

charge more than 10 per cent interest. ae-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Secretary
OF Commerce Redheld has received Q
communication from former President
Roosevelt suggesting that the trus'
tees who have been in charge Of the
$4,000 Nobel prize fund dedicated
to Industrial peace. return this fund
TO the donor.
Il appears that nothing ever has
been done with the fund. Col. Roose
welt was awarded the Nobel prize
about eight years ago as result OF
his success In ending the Japanese
Russian war. He at once announced
his intention to dedicate the money
TO the cause Of Industrial peace. He
asked that congress pass law Great
Ing trusteeship 30 that the income
from the fund might be used In bring
ing about better relations between
worl1men and employers and In set
ting Industrial disputes. Congress-
took action and the money was
turned over to number of trustees,
among whom were Hon. Seth Low,
the chief justice Of the supreme court,
and the secretary OF commerce-then
the secretary Of commerce and labor
II now develops that the trustees,
on the advice of the late Chief JUS
toe Fuller. invested the fund In an
unfortunate way, with the result that
q $4,000 loss was at once sustained.
The fund has since been nursed by
the trustees 90 that at the end Of
eight years the $4,000 loss has prac-
tically been recovered. Meantime.
however, there has been no expend-
iturs Of the Accommodations of interest,
nor any effort apparently by the trus-
tees to formulate Q plan. or TO carry
out the purposes Of the trust. There
have been Industrial troubles In West
Virginia. Michigan, Colorado and en-.
nessee and scores Of other places. and
every occasion IN the world for the
exercise of any and all agencies OF
this character; yet this talent has re-
NAMED wrapped In its napkin with
out even being put to the usurers.
Conditions of unemployment In
New York, which Col. Roosevelt has
been studying, are understood to have
been the immediate occasion for his
desire that this money be put TO some
useful purpose and he has written to
the trustees saying that II tho money
II returned TO him he will devote Q
large portion OF II Immediately to 70
lieving poverty In the city of New
York. In any case. he believes that
the trust has proved itself entirely q
failure, and that; he II entitled to do
mand the return Of the money.
