 Postmaster General Hays referred the matter to Joseph Stewart, special assistant to the attorney general.
 "Mr. Stewart gave the postm master general an opinion that the loan com- panies. by eliminating some sections of their contracts, would not be ob- Jectionable to the post office depart ment. That was al once capitalized by the loan companies"

RICHARD LOSES
ABOUT $1,000 EACH
DAY At GARDENS
Tex Wishes the Democrats
Would Hurry Up and -
Get Out,
BY c. A. RANDAU,

CONVENTION HALL, MADISON
SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK.
July s.-Monday was a warm. sticky
day in New York. That caused Tex
Richards losses for the day to
amount to from $1,000 to $500.
For If Rickard, who is the lessee
Of Madison Square Garden. had not
had the DemocI attic national conven-
ton on his hands he would have
taken $4,000 to $1,000 from the New
Workers in search of a cooling swim.
From June 10 to autumn each
year Richard turns the massive gar
den into a swimming hole for swell
tering Manhattans. On holidays. &C
cording to Richard, he ordinarily
takes in what he terms real
money" This is particularly true
when the holiday is a hot one. July
was such a day. and as a result
Tex figured he Jost about $1,000 by
having Democrats rather than bath
ing beauties as his guests on that
day.
