Especial to The Times

OLYMPIA, March speaker
Guy Kelly is being given the cred
1t today for forcing half the teeth
out of Senate Bill "a, which was
originally drafted to protect In
nocent investors from robbery at
the hands of agents of so-called
mutual building and loan ascot
ations by means of membership
fees"
The speaker is a director of the
Pacific Building & Loan associa.
tion of Tacoma, the largest men,
bership fee association in the
state. He is also its attorney.
AS originally drafted, the bill
! limited the amount of membership
fees which could be charged to not
more than 81 share, instead OF
the So which is now exacted.
Had Put so Limit
1t also provided that not more
than $40 could be taken out OF
the pockets of any one investor
for fees.
The chief complaints against
the associations were that they
have been raking in thousands of
dollars in membership fees from
poor working people who have
been persuaded to invest their
hard-earned savings with prom.
ises of high interest on their
money.
Still Safeguard
After the bill was introduced by
Senator Chase and referred to the
Joint committee on banking,
Speaker Kelly, 1t is understood
got busy, and from his position
on the rules committee, forced the
banking committee to chop out all
membership fee limitations.

KELLY PULLS teeth
Of SENATE BILL 81

AS finally slashed, however, the
measure still contains an import
ant safeguard against swindling
by crooked agents.
1t requires that every member
shall be given a separate receipt
for all membership fees exacted.
1t also puts the licensing of agents
in the hands of the state auditor
and gives him supervision and
regulation of advertising materi-
ais and pass books issued by the
companies.

James Watson Gerard, in Berlin Found His Job as
Ambassador to "Put America Across and He
Did It Thoroughly, According to His Admirers

James Watson Gerard went to
Berlin three years ago.
He had been one of the best
story tellers in the Knickerbocker
club. He was an ex-Tammany
judge. Nobody could have mag
ined that he would make chap
ter in the history of American di-
plomacy.
He has left the stock of Amer
lean backbone distinctly above par
in Berlin. He knew more ways
of saying Go to- politely than
any diplomat in our service.
1--WE have half million reserv-
lists in America" one of the Ger
man high officials 'intimated dur
ing one very strained period.
Loyal reservists,' added the Off
cial slowly.
And we," said Gerard, "have
good deal more than half million
lampposts to hang them to-"
There are two kinds of Amer
lean diplomats abroad. There is
the man who is charmed to move
in court circles. He strives to
please. He accents his manner
with an adopted European air.
The other kind works, and
works hand and glove with the
American state department. He
wears a poker face when the state
department begs to inform his ma
jesty "either-or," and has secret
doubts about the COR" and keeps
a poker face when the state de-
partment means every word of 1t.
Typical of American Spirit
Bluff and hearty, with rosy
cheeks and kind but shrewd eye
behind his glasses, Mr.. Gerard has
looked Enthusiastically American.
He is witty, but not in the Ber-
lin way. Joseph Grew, first Sec
rotary, so they say, has put in
more hours than he cares to men,
ton overtaking Gerard sally |
that had escaped from the lunch
con table. High Germany saw
nothing funny in the ambassador
accounts of the hate hose turn
ed now on England, now on Rus
STA, now on America, in the early
days of the war.
Gerard has the swift cordially
OF a popular man and an Ameri-
can politician, but he is a little
nearsighted. Captain Boyd,
after he was returned to
his fatherland, met him in the cor
ridor of the Esplanade.
Good afternoon, your excel
lency." said the captain, clicking
his heels together.
The CHEEKY Gerard voice rang
out as he offered his hand. How
do you do, how do you do, and
where have you been all this
timer"
In the vernacular, Mr.. Gerard's
job has been Ito put America
across"
He got away with making the
American notes sound as IL the
president had an undivided coun-
try behind him and was sure of 1t.
At least, whatever doubts either
Won Jagow or Herr zimmerman
had, they never quite "dast." And
though they aehed to believe that
Gerard didn't mean it they never
could tell when he did.
There was trouble at Rhuele-
ben. Certain dogs were nuisance /
and Mr.. Gerard had repeatedly
asked for their removal.
Made Them Move Dogs.
Remove them, or / will go out

said.
They never could tell IL he
meant that, either, so they hurried
the dogs away.

''The investigators have also de-
