NEW YORK, April ia girl of
the lower East Side transferred her
smiles from one gangster to another
three years ago, and by that whim
caused the fiaring up of a bitter
feud between two rival gangs Of gun
men that has now taken a toll of
II lives.
Max Goldberg, known as Max the
Litwack,' was the eleventh victim in
the warfare between the kid Drop
per" and the Little Augie" gangs.
A woman called him by telephone
early yesterday. AS he was going to
the telephone in the hallway outside
his restaurant at sc Orchard street, two
gunmen silently opened the door from
the street. They fired two shots and
two bullets pierced Goldberg's brain.
The gunmen escaped and the only
clue the police had to the crime was
the woman's telephone call and the
number of the taXicab in which they
believed the gunmen escaped.
Goldberg was member of the
Little Augie" gang. His partner,
Meyer Albert, also a member of the
Little Augie" gang. was killed in
a. street fight last year. The rival
gangs have maintained an almost
even score in the notchings on their
guns since the warfare started.
The conflict started in 1928, when
Louis Schwartzman, as "the Midget"
and a member of the Little Augie"
gang, was shot down one evening as
he was sitting on the doorstep Of his
home at % Rutgers street. Besides
him was Edna Churgin, who had trans
ferred her affections to him from
Louis Kaplan, the kid Dropper." ;"
Since then the feud has ragged in the
! lower East Side streets and as far
uptown as East Eighty-frst street.
Soon after "the Midget Staying the
kid Dropper" himself was killed. He
was shot down as he was leaving Po-
lice Court, surrounded by detectives,
after being discharged in connection
with the murder of Schwartzman. \
Louis Cohen of the Little Augies"
is now serving a life term for the
murder Of Kaplan. Members Of the

SOLUTION TO ELIMINATE
GREEDY LOAN SHARKS



But why does this degrading s1oan
shark evil flourish ii every corner
Of the land, despite drastic laws
against usmy. The answer IS simple
When q man needs money and leoiti-
mate financial channels viii not sup
ply il. circumstances force him to des-
perate ends There are plenty Of mon
ey sharks to trade on his necessities
who are willing to take chances On the
usury laws, simply because they know
the reluctance OF human nature
against publicity insuch matters. and
the law cannot reach them 50 long as
the borrower IS unwilling to expose
the deal.
It is 3 peculiar fact that America,
where yolitieal liberty has reached It's
highest development. has failed to full
" develop economic liberty insofar IS
financial facilities are concerned.
While the social status and stand
ard Of living Of the American wage
Garner Is the highest in the world. bis
recognition in the field Of finance is
comparatively a recent thing. As long
ago as 1910 there were ii Europe e5.
600 Institutions. largely sponsored BY
governments, loanine money to wage
earners, with an annual turnover Of
seven billions Of dollars.
New Loan System
Fortunately for this country, new
school of finaneers has arisen to the
occasion. Their plan IS the outcome
of study Of European methods dur
ing the past seventy years and 3
practical application Of the new prin-
cipIe inthis country over the past If
teen years. Loans made on the basis
of character plus earning ability are
known as character loans. There are
ninety-eight companies known as Nor
ris plan banks mostly operating in
the East, and 113 companies operating
under the Wimsett System in the
West. In 1923 these companies made
loans of more than one hundred mill
lion dollars, and the loss ratio was
less than lilo Of per, cent. This
pretty well establishes the truth Of
their slogan that Character plus
earning ability is a proper basis for
credit" and that the average man is
honest. It is claimed that the reason
the plan works out SO well is that it
81 properly adjusted to the needs Of
those who are served, and that the
whole plan encourages thrift. There
is little doubt that the cure Of the
''loan shark" evil rests entirely upon
the formation Of sufficient number
Of Legitimate loan companies Of this
character to care for the entire needs
Of the working classes. It can never
be accomplished merely by legislation.
Neither viii it have any solution by
charity. Business men with public
spirited inclinations win exercise the

The Status of the Traffic Bill.

Although the District Of Columbia
traffic bill was passed over last night
when it was reached in consideration
Of unobjected measures on the caien-
Ciar. strong indications were given that
II will receive favorable action at an
early date. On objection Of Senator
Bruce of Maryland and Senator King
of Utah the bill went over, hut Sen
ator Jones of Washington had the fol-
lowing to say:
Mr.. President. | want to make just
a brief statement with reference TO
the hill. 1t is very important that we
should get the bill through very soon.
The Senator from Utah desires to have
a. number Of amendments made, but
has not had the opportunity to get
them prepared. lie has assured me
that he will cooperate with us in try
ing to get the bill through III the next
day or two. II ought to be passed. and
I hone we will be ii bic to pass it Very
promptly.
Senator Jones statement Of the
status Of the bill is especially wei
come to Washingtonians. who realize
that unless it passes before the end
of the present session traffic chaos will
envelop the city. Every member Of
the Senate District committee and
those members of the Senate who
have taken an interest in the traffic
welfare Of Washington should push
this bill through.
1t is imperative that prompt action
be taken. Washington cannot be left
by Congress throughout the Summer
with the mudlled state Of traffic af-
fairs prevailing. Following its pas
sage by the Senate the bill will have
to go to conference, occasioning addi-
tional delay. so that it is clearly evi-
dent that no time should be lost in
starting it along. Affecting as it does
more than one hundred thousand
motorists. the importance of its final
passage cannot be minimized and ii is
hoped by every Washingtonian that
no more difficulties will be encounter
ed before it reaches the President for
his signature.
