 0F BIG BALANCES
Three Leaders Tell Police Of
 Large Fortunes

Chicago. March Il P-Three gang leaders boasted of their "bis business" ventures to Chief of De- tectives John Stege yesterday.
 First there was Joe Salts, known for years as the beer baron of the South Side, who came down from his Wisconsin country place to at- tend the funeral today of his friend and henchman, John (DingbaD Oberta, slain on gang ride last week.
 Between his fearful pleas 10 the detective chief to "call off the cops while he attended the last rites of his friend, Salts found time to tell the chief and reporters of his s10o,- 900 country place in Wisconsin with golf course and clubhouse to accommodate 26 people,"
 Stege promised Salts he woull not be molested if he returned to Wisconsin immediately after the fu- neral, and Big Joe" went out to the Oberta home to sit around his pals $15,0O0 coffin at the wake.
 Then there was George (Bugs) Moran, North Side successor to Dion O'Banion, whose ranks were so sorely depleted by the St. Valen- tines massacre of last year. George, who was picked up in the Loop yes- terday for his weekly interview with police, added to the days financial news with the tale that he had in- vested Sl25,00n in a North Side cleaning establishment.
 These two, of course, only men, toned casual amounts, but George (Potatoes) Kaufman, who recently slapped a man who pushed too fast as they were going around together in the revolving door of a Loop ho- tel, lightly dropped the news to Stege that he still had $600,000 or S700,000.

 This occasion ommemorates the 20th anniversary of the Boy Scouts, and it is indeed in keeping with the true tribute to his great spirit whose name graced your first anniversary"
 Youth Precious possession
 The boy, with his sister, the presi- dent said, is the most precious pos- session of the American home, the problem of our times and the hope of the nation.'
 Forming the Boy Scout movement one by which parents in a period of complex civilization might solve the problem of filling the leisure time of their sons, MT. Hoover advised that the boys leisure time should be given to directing his interests to constructive joy instead of destruc- tive glee.
 Scout work, the president said, opened the portals of adventure for the boys, taught him the joys of na- ture, the value of discipline, sports manship and the democracy of play.

Small Loan Companies Interest
 Rates Condemned by co. Fisher
 Before Members of College Club

there is either a great demand for the service they render or that financial success has created prof. itable situation for private business or capital, and that the situation should be condemned. He claimed that the situation In Massachusetts,, where a lower rate of interest is provided by law yet the income dwarfs Connecticut's in comparison, shows that it is possible to operate at lower rate in this state.
 Others Have Lower Rates
 Dr. Fisher pointed out the sig nificance of several new steps in re- ducing the rates of interest already undertaken by priyate capital. SeV- eral banks have opened departments and are competing with the finance and loan corporations with a rate of interest as low as eight and nire per cent. Other loan companies have cut rates and Tn many states the rate has been made by law an1 is much lower than in Connecticut.
 He condemned finance companies who advertise and paint in glorious terms the benefits to be derived from such a ,oan. He called atteI- ton to one company that, during the Christmas season, sent circulars to people. advising them to borrow to defray expenses of the additional seasonal expense, and attempting Q paint such an entrancing picture that the layman would consider . lean from such a company as akin to thrift.
 In conclusion Dr. Fisher suggesa- ed that a thorough study of the problem in Connecticut be under taken regarding CD more complete information to show the justifica- ton of such high rates of interest, CD some method of limiting com- panies as means of reducing over head costs and thus vhe cost to bor- rowers, (3) advertising matter be- fore publication should be presente to the office of the bank commits sioner for approval. and (G, study of the law for improvement and re- finemeut.
 After the lecture, refreshments were served Dy the hostesses who were: Miss Elizabeth Corblcy, Miss Helena Doane, Mrs. Herbert Dyer. Mrs. Theodore Greene, Miss Gladys Hogaboon and Mrs. Douglas John Ston.

Bookkeeping Course Is
 Eliminated by School

New Haven, March Il CP)-Book- keeping is not so attractive an oc- cupation to lad just out of school as it once was, if this conclusion may be reached from what Principal Walter B. Spencer of Hillhouse High school told the board of education yesterday. He had found after an authorized survey of the industries in the city that only 17 graduates of his school who had taken bookkeep- ing as a compulsory study were bookkeepers. in filling clerical posi- tions. Hundreds of students had taken the bookkeeping colrses.
 The board eliminated this study from the course and will substitute one on American history and de- mocracy.
