LOAN SHARK BILLS
considered TODAY
William H. Baldwin Cross.
Examined by Representa-
j! tive Johnson.

Cross examination of William H
Baldwin, chairman of the citizens
committee on loan shark legislation
mer chairman of the House District
committee. featured the hearing today
before . subcommittee Of the House
District committee which is consider
ing the Tinkham and Dyer bills to
allow pawnbrokers to resume bust
ness In the District.
Charges have been made before the
committee that conspiracy existed
to convict George Horning. without a
jury trial. as having offended the loan
shark law. The general trend of Rep
Tesentative Johnson's questions was
10 show that Mr.. Baldwin had been
active in pushing the case against
Mr.. Horning. Mr.. Baldwin denied tina
there was any intentional persecution
or Mr.. HorninG. but that he was in
s,S.-e upon enforcement of the law.
Insisted ON Explanation
Representative johnson insisted
upon an explanation regarding an
alleged agreement with Judge Null
1owEy, whereby the court on its own
motion would deny Mr.. Horning a
jury trial and direct his conviction.
Charles c. Tucker, attorney for Mr..
Horning, suggested that the bill as
now drafted, in view of those circum-
stances. might operate to disbar MIR.
Horning from ever again doing busi-
ness as a pawnborker in the District.
Mr.. Baldwin and George S. Wilson,
chairman and secretary of the citi
Zens' committee, said that they had
no intention or desire to raise any
bars against Mr.. Horning. and ac-
qutesced in suggested amendment
which would obviate any such con-
etructfon.
Indorsed Dyer BILL
Mr.. Tucker gave a strong indorse-
ment of the Dyer bill to put pawn
brokers back into business and in a
glass by themselves independent of
The so-called loan sharks. He ex-
planned that the Tinkham bill would
allow all sorts of frauds to be per-
petrated. and told the committee spe-
cfnCRlly how such frauds could be
worked. He said II would be a great
misfortune to allow the Tinkham bill
to be enacted as it now reads.

". R. {. MAKING TRIAL
Of TRAILER CAR TODAY
If Operation Is Successful, Other
Cars Of That Type Will Be
Provided by Company.

II an experiment which the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
will make this afternoon Is successlul
trailer cars again will be operated In
Washington.
During the rush hour the company
will operate on the LIN
coin Park line a modern trailer re-
built from one of the two-step sum-
mer cars formerly used on the 9th
street line.
Moro May BE UHed.
The trailer is designed after the
latest type motor street car, to which
1t will be coupled. The two will have
a combined seating capacity of ninety
without delaying service the company
will proceed with the remode!ing OF
more OF the two-step summer cars
John Beeler, traffic expert. who spent
more than year trying to Improve
service here, recommended that two-car
trains be operated. Both companies
bought new cars equipped for operation
as trains. but the underground system
here, requiring a plow on each car,
brought on difficulties which made train
operation unsuccessful
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company believes the new trailer
will be successful because IL has no mo-
tors. The front car will do all the pull
ing. There will be a conductor on each
car, but only one motornan.
Signal for Motormnn.
The trailer has no door in the rear,
but a wide opening in front, where
passengers will board and leave. BY
means of a communicating signal light,
the motorman will know when the doors
of both cars are shut.
If the new plan proves efficient the
company is confident it will be able
greatly to improve service during the
rush hours.
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company operated trailers up to
1912. when new cars of much larger ca
pacity were purchased
