PROPOSES AMENDMENT
TO THE LOAN SHARK LAW
Chamber of Commerce Committee
Recommends That Pawnbrokers
be Permitted to Operate.

That the so-called loan shark law
should be amended in such a way as to
permit pawnbrokers to operate in the Dis
trict of Columbia is the substance of a
resolution adopted by the executive COM
mittee of the Chamber Of Commerce at a
meeting held this afternoon.
Several months ago the chamber de-
clared in favor of a more liberal loan law
in the District, and the action taken today
was in the nature of a reiteration of its
former stand. On the motion of John G..
Capers the committee did not commit it.
self to any fixed rate. 1t was the con-
sensus of opinion that Congress should
determine the rate.
The committee agreed to give its sup
port and cooperate in a window -dress-
ing contest to be conducted under the
auspices of a correspondence school
President Moran was authorized to ap-
point a special committee to cooperate
with like committees of the Board of
Trade and Retail Merchants Associa-

DECLARES COL. HOUSE
IS DRAWING NO SALARY
Secretary Lansing Tells House For
eign Committee His Expenses
Only Are Being Paid.

Secretary Lansing told the House
foreign affairs committee today that
Col. E. VI. House. who is making a tour
abroad as the personal representative
of the President. is not drawing a sal
airy. but his expenses are being paid
out of the State Department funds.
Secretary Lansing did not make clear
TO the committee the exact status of
Col House. and he evaded any ques-
ton along that line.
Secretary Lansing urged the neces
sity of Increasing the secret fund. for
sponsible, from $4,000 to $3.50, 900.
The Secretary was not disposed to talk
about Col. Houses mission abroad.
Queried about the recent investiga-
ton of Minister sullivan of San Do
minso, by Senator Phelsn. Secretary
Lansing said he regarded il as proper
fer the State Department to have one
of it's own representatives investigated
and pay the expenses out of the de-
partment fund
Representative Rogers of Massachu-
sets sought to bring out Just wha
the investigation cost, which he un-
derstood was many thousands of dol
lars. and whether Attorney Strong of
Strong G. Cadwallader of New York
drew salary of 5000 day as counsel
in connection with that investigation.
secretary Lansing said he would look
up the matter.
