PAWNBR0KER BILL
Incorporation Counsel Says
Commissioners Measure
= Would Avoid Litigation.

Speaking OF the loan legislation
now pending in the House of Repre-
sentatives. Conrad H. Syme. who was
corporation counsel of the District
when the present law was being
tested In the courts, said today:
Il think it would be great mis-
take to repeal the existing law re-
lating to small loans and pawn
brokers' loans. either in whole or in
part, as seems to be the effect of the
Focht bill tH. r. 630s), for it is a
GOOD law, and 1t only needs the in
crease in the rate to per cent. as
asked for by the Commissioners in
Inelr Pin Oh. r. 5015). to make it
workable in every respect.
when ] became corporation coun-
sci the validity of the law was being
vigorously attacked and the loan
sharks and two or three of the
pawnbrokers Joined in suit to have
~ tooa deelared unconstitutional. which
took TWO years and had to be carried
70 the Supreme Court of the United
states. where we won it. Several
years later another suit taking two
years had to be carried to the Su-
DTeme Court Of the United States to
trict
Other Suits to Fight.
We also from the first had to fight
suits against others vino caimeI
that the law did not apply TO
loans on notes, with or without in
dorsement, although it was plainly
intended to apply to all such loans.
These also had to be taken to the
Court of Appeals. which took a year
after the enactment of the law.
Then came the settlements with
the money lenders and the closing of
their Offices. My office tried to treat
them fairly, but our experience show
ed that they were not willing to be
fair: and 1t was only by the greatest
enort that they were finally driven
out.
In making these settlements the
rebate of % per cent on the prin-
cipai or unlawful loans provided for
IN the existing law was of the great
est Deneflt, and We estimated that in
settlements made through the cor
poration counseIs office we recovered
FOR poor borrowers from the money
lenders about 100000. This work
the citizens committees were of great
assistance in looking up cases and
making settlements outside the Of
fee.
Helps Money Lender.
Although the pawnbrokers' bill
now being urged, Fl. r. 6S09. pro
tesses to provide greater protection
Tor the borrower, il omits this i'm
portant provision and really seems to
be In the interest of the money lender.
ample security for the borrower is
provided by the existing regulations
which the Commissioners carefully
made in accordance with the present
law. and the Commissioners bill in
creasing the rate will make the law
fair and practicable, both for borrow
ers and lenders.
Il cannot emphasize too strongly
the unwisdom of enacting a new law
in place Of the one which has been
sustained in the face Of such opposi-
ton. and which has been made so
clear by decisions obtained in tho
! courts. Congress ought to avoid any
Danger OF the repetition of such lti-
cation as We went through by. pass
ing the bill increasing the raie in
the present law. which has been ask
ed for SO long by the Commissioners
and all the leading citizens organ
. izations.''

AUSTRIAN WOMEN
 ARE MISLED BY ADS
Americans Advertising for Wives
 Deceive Yienese Da1nsels

Vienna, March 24.-Vienna girls are being warned not to be misled by marriage advertisements from Amer ica. Half dozen alleged cases of de- ception that are cited by Der Morgan which asserts they are but a few out of hundreds' in which Austrian Wom- en have gone to America to marry.
 One case described is that of a daughter of high official" who pn- sWered an advertisement in a Vienna paper stating that an engineer in Chi cago desired to wed a pretty, educated Viennese. In German the word en- gineer always means professional title and is never applied to me- chanics.
 When she arrived she found the man was a metal worker. He soon lost his job and the girls parents had to sacrifice even their household goods to send her money to return.
 Another instance is recited in which the advertisement contained the phrase An American (dark) wishes to marry, etc" The prospec- tive groom was a negro.
 Usually, says the paper, the adver- tisements describe the man as earning so many million crowns month

TO JUSTIFY RATES
French Hotel Industry Association Takes Action on Charges in-Ex- peases 48O Per Cent Higher.

Paris, March 24.-An effort was made to justify the rates charged by French hotels in the congress of the Association of French Hotel Industry held here. Some have asserted that rates are so high as to have com promise, the spring season on the Riviera and to be endangering the summer season for health resorts.
 George Barrier, president of the as- scciation asserted that the cost of running hotel in France was now 4s0 per cent higher than before the war and that hotel rates had not been increased in that proportion. He complained of the taxes imposed upon French hotel keepers and said that one hotel which paid 95,000 francs in taxes in 1914 was compelled to pay 2.08A,737 francs in 1921. He gave many instances of increased costs in hotel operation, chief among which was the application of the eight-hour day and advances in wage demanded by hotel employees.

'AN7I-CIGARETISTS

National Secretary Says Weed Is
 Twin Evil to Home Brew

Chicago, March 24.-The week be- ginning April 23 has been designated as national cigarette week" by the National Anti Cigarette league, according to an. announcement made today by Miss Lucy Page Gastoh, superintendent of the league.
 The announcement says that the reason for selecting this particular week is because yesterday was off, cially designated as anti-cigarette day by the International Sunday School association.
 Twin Evils
 In her announcement today, Miss Gaston says:
 We cannot hope that prohibition of liquor will be a success until the cigarette is eliminated, because cigar cite smoking creates a craving which only alcohol can satisfy. Home brew and cigarettes are twin evils, neither of which is likely to be abolished successfully while the other remains with us
 "The National Cigarette league stands for the complete extermination of the cigarette through education, Id elllOICtuHHC pl o1iDitioii iS6 islation, but we are not seeking to prohibit the sale or use of tobacco in other forms except to and by minors.
 Future Generations
 "The astounding increase in cigar cite smoking by women and girls is cause for genuine alarm owing to the fact that this habit strikes directly at the fountain of life thereby imperil- ling the virility and strength of fu- ture generations.
 'The immeasureable harm which the cigarette is causing to youth of America is now widely recognized by parents, teachers and others interest ed in the welfare of the rising gen eration. The community organization plan of our clean life. movement is proving to be just whattis needed not only to combat the cigarette, but oth- CT evils that menace the health and morals of the youth. of every com munity."

Kansas Girls, Suspended From

Coun- sel for Alice Hansen and Maude Bu- ohanan of Nlnland gave notice in the Douglas county district court that ne will appeal decision Of Judge Hugh Means to the states highest tribunal.
 Judge Means, Tuesday, threw out of court the case brought by J. n. Hansen, asking permanent inlunc- ton against the school board Of the Vipland High school and Superintend- ent Raiffe Albord restraining them from suspending the girls. Judge Neans ruled that as the parents had not carried their case to the county superintendent. and exhausted all means of obtaining redress, they had no case in court.
 Restraining Order.
 It was on March that Edward T. Killing, attorney for the fathers of the two girls, obtained from Judge Means O. temporary restraining order, pre- wanting the girls suspension because their skirts did not reach three inches below their knees. in accordance with a regulation made by Superintendent Albord and upheld by the Vinland High school board.
 The plaintiff declared that while the girls skirts didn't reach exactly , inches below their knees, they did reach to within "A of an inch below, and that the regulation and the en- forcement were unjust.
 Hearing on the permanent decree was set for March IS. But mean while the superintendent and the board filed demurrer, claiming the court had no Jurisdiction and citing the school laws, which provide that In case of dispute on school admin tetration the county superintendent Vinland has about 300 population. It is eight miles southeast of here. There are about fifty students in the High school. The countryside is split over the case, and young men have hoycotted the county store of one of the members of the school board that upheld the superintendent's ruling. Women of the local Methodist church support the boycotted store, but have their own boycott on the store across the road, owned by the father of the girls.

world" the governor declared. i
have never raised stalk Of cane or
a pound Of rice in my life and have
no PERSONAL interest in any tariff

on this free labor basis We lose
