Washington Woman Urges
Passage of Bill Regulating
! PaWnbrokers.

Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, 1926 Massa-
chusetts avenue, in a statement is
sued today, came out in favor of the
passage of the Commissioners Dill
amending the present law regulating
pawnbrokers in the District. she
said:
"Although no borrower has ever
lost anything in the District for want
of insurance against fire or theft OF d
pledge from pawnbrokcr. 1t may De
well to incorporate that provision
from the Pennsylvania law in passing
the Commissioners bill. II. X. 5Vla'
amending the present law.
But why should Mr.. Focnt; Whiie
trying by his pawnbrokerS Dill 10
look after the interests OF some OF the
people in need in the District, pay no
attention to another law IN fenh-
sylvania which permits loans on m
dorsed notes or other security that,
pledges at 81 per cent per month, ana
refuse TO provide for the needs or
others in the District just as worth!
by continuing the rate OF per cenl
per month in the present law. when
will still keep them from setuns
loans at all. because they nave ho
pledges to put up.
woman Paid III Fer Cent.
ssWhy not pass the Commissioners
bill increasing this prohibitive rate 10
per cent per month. and so proNlde
for the wants of all by making pos
Sible loans on any security, anu at lhe
lowest practicable rate!
IAN actual instance shows the sltua
lion: In December, 1914. a woman who
worked in Pages laundry needed Sl3
to fit up room for lodger. she hau
no jewelry or diamonds to put up. ana
as the / per cent rate had stopped
loans in the District she borrowed II
of a loan shark across the river. and
gave six notes of 1915 each. total OF
$3.50, which she subsequently PAID.
The loan of SIS therefore. cost her
$3.50, and on payments beginning IN
one month the charge amounted 10
Ill per cent per annum.
IF the District rate had been per
cent per month she could have got the
money for S1.O5. but because the law
forbade any one to charge more than
53 cents she could not get the money
in the District at all. though in Penn
sylyania it would be lawful to charge
her s1.S4.
Sees Change Greatly Needed.
'Why continue this discrimination
against the District as compared with
Pennsylvania, Indiana. Maine ana
other states. all of which allow
charge OF sIS4 on such loan. as
against the s1.O5 for which the Com
missioners ask. and the So cents which
makes it impossible to get such small
loans at all under the present District
law?
"Why seek to enact an unnecessary
new law. with an unnecessary rate,
when the whole situation can be fully
met by such slight change in the
existing law as is proposed by the
District Commissioners in their bill,
II. r. 5015. which asks for the Dis
trict a rate less than two-thirdS of
what is allowed in Pennsylvania on
SIMILAR loans?"

lNJUSTICES ARE CHARGED.
Agency to Amplify Hearings for
Executive Clemency Urged.

President Harding has been urged
IN letter sent to him by the Amer
ican Civil Liberties Union to set up
new agency for passing upon ap-
plications for executive clemency
The Department of Justice is unable,
the letter declared, because of it's
organization and it's other many
duties, to go into a case further than
the recommendation made by the fed
era1 attorney who prosecuted it.
AS an instance in point, the union
cites the case of Oklahoma tenant
farmers who are now in Jail, "who,
according to the attorney general,
murdered officials of the govern
ment'," declaring that investigators
for the union say they have person
ally interviewed the sheriff and
deputy sheriff, whose number was al
legged by the Department of Justice
long after the farmers were in Jail"

Tying" Clauses in
 Lease Held Inualid
By Associated Preas

Washington, April 1.-The tying" clauses in the leases of the United Shoe Machinery. corporation and its associated companies challenged by the government under the Clayton act were today declared invalid by the supreme court in an opinion deliver ed by Justice Day. Justice McKin- na dissented and Justice Brandeis did not participate in the consideration or decision of the case.
 This sytem of tying restrictions Is quite as effective as expressed covenants coud be-" the court declar- ed. and practically compels the use of the machinery of the lessor except upon risks which manufacturers will not willingly incur. The power to en- force them is omnipresent and their restraining Influence constantly ope- rates upon competitors and lessees. The fact that the lessor in many in- stances forebore to enforce these pro- visions does not make any less agree ments within the condemnation of the Clayton act"
 Referring to the contention of tho corporation that the form of lease 1t adopted after the Clayton act became effective Is fire from the restrictive and tying clauses, and is, therefore, unobjectionable, the opinion pointed out that those leases are terminable upon 30 days notice and stated they were evidently framed in view of the Clayton act and litigation likely to arise over the former leases in view of that enactment.v

SUBSIDY BILL ID KILL BARGE LINES
 F II |S PASSED
Will Put Warrior and Missis- Sippi Service at Mercy of Roads, Colonel Ashburn
 Tells Weeks
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age Heral
 Hn0 nax4aan3 n,,f1x

300 Davidson Building.
 Washington, April 1T-(Special.)- Col. T. Q. Ashburn. assistant chief, inland and coastwise waterways service, in a formal communication today notified John W. Weeks. sec- retary of War, of the provision In the ship subsidy bill which. If en- acted, would put the barge lines on the Mississippi and Warrior rivers at the mercy of the railroads of the country.
 Colonel Ashburn. in his communica- ton, declared to the secretary that If the bill, as presently written, were law, that section of the interstate commerce commission act which de- nies railroads the right to own com petins barges between inland ports, would be nullified. He made the point that If railroads compete they would lower rates in order to put the government out of business, after which event, they could charge what they desired to charge.
 Since the publication Sunday of the existence of the alleged joker" no light as to it's origin has been thrown n. It is not indicted whether or not Secretary Weeks. following the com munication of Colonel Ashburn, will move to secure the elimination of the clause in question.
 It Is predicted. however. that the Congress will defeat 1t if it emerges from the Senate committee on com merce, which Is regarded as doubt full
