 of Don Moyle

Den Moyle and c. A. AL len, California fIiers, missing s since [ h e y left Samushiro Beach, Japan, at 12:30 o'clock on the afternoon of Septem- Der z, for an attempted nOn- stop flight to Seattle, have been located.
 The Coast Guard head quarters at Seattle received advices this morning from the St. Paul radio station that the two aviat0rs had been found, according to As- sociated Press dispatches re- ceived by The Empire.
 A m e s S age addressed to Francis Bresson, NIoyle's fi- ancee, at Riverside Califor- mia, also gave info1faation of the finding of the two men on an "uninhabited island"
 This afternoon Associated Press dispatches stated Moyle and Allen are reported by three Soviet vessels to be safe in Olyutor Gulf, North ern Kamchatka.
 The messages said Moyle and Allen landed on an un- inhabited island and were well and safe and will be home soon.
 The two fliers are report ed to be aboard the steamer Pialy Karabalobe and the steamer forwarded the mes- sage for Miss Bresson an- nouncing their af ct y and saying they will be in Seat tie on September p. The date, however, is believed to be garbled as they could not reach Seattle by that date. The fliers apparently never left the Asiatic side of the North Pacific. Kamchatka is severl hundred miles north of the route they would have followed had they kept to the charted course.
 The whereabouts of Moyle and Allen have been shrouded since they were last reported. from Point Erimo, Japan, 110 miles from the starting point.
 The two airmen expected to reach Seattle within 40 hours after leaving Japan and a reception was planned for them.
 | When the fliers failed to appear and no word was received from them, the Coast Guard was asked to make search along the vest ward coast of Alaska.
 | Immediately the Coast Guard cutters Chelan, Itaska and North land were dispatched from the Dutch Harbor base for the search. l Miss Bresson. fiancee of Moyle,

DUPES FLEECED
OF BILLION BY
LOAN SHARKS
Immense Harvest Reaped by
USurerS; Depression Aids
GouqerS.

BIZ scripps-Ho'0ard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6>-More
than 81 900 100000 is being collected
annually in usurious interest by
loan sharks, according to Leon
Henderson, director of the remedial
loan research department of the
Russell Sage Foundation.
I'm normal years, $750,000,000 is
collected in usury in the United
States" Henderson said. by usury,
I mean rates that run from 10 per
cent to 30 per cent month. The
depression proved boon to these
loan sharks, forcing many new
families to come to them for small
loans. Right now the mine is
running low of gold, for the pro-
longed depression has destroyed a
great deal of the workers credit.
The rate of bankruptcy due to
loan sharks pressure is increasing.
The $1,000000,000 estimated as the
annual toll of usurious interest COL
lectors does not include the losses
indirectly traceable to loan sharks.
These include garnisheed wages
and loss of jobs due to workers
falling into the loan mems clutches"
Henderson declares that usury in
the United States has become big
business, with more than a dozen
large chains operating throughout
the country. These have organized
with common pools for printing
propaganda and fighting the small
loan legislation that some twenty
six states have adopted.
Texas, he said, is overrun with
loan sharks. Louisville and Minnea-
polls also are fertile fields for
usurers. The entire South is being
preyed upon.
According to Henderson, the
average small loan is between $35
and $50 and runs for a period of
three months. On $35 the usurer
often gets back $3.50 in six weeks.
Negroes are forced to pay SO per
cent higher rates.
In twenty-siX states, loan sharks
are regulated and many of these
states have the Russell Sage Foun-
dation's Model Bill" providing a
maximum of per cent to 81 per
cent on unpaid balances. Hender-
son says that 80 per cent of usury
is in the unregulated states.
Three StateS-New Jersey, Vir-
ginia and New Hampshire-have
commissions investigating the loan
shark evil.

The First Passenger Train.

With the great number OF anniversary
days" ON the national calendar. it
would seem that none Of the significant
and historic events of the past has been
overlooked by the holiday makers. But
1t now develops that the centenary OF
one Of the most important and epochal
happenings in the history Of this coun-
try has been altogether ignored. This
was the successful operation Of the FIRST
passenger train In the United States.
It occurred on the eth Of August, 1881
and If the historians and day" makers
had been on the job IN time last Sun
day would have been marked in some
way in observance of this interesting
event.
On the 9th of August. 1Ssl-which
was Tuesday--the locomotive De Witt
Clinton, which had been built At the
West Point Foundry, pulled out OF Al
bany for It's first run to Schenectady
seventeen miles distant. There was
great public excitement Many people
thought that the locomotive would never
last that far. The steam was made in
boiler heated by wood The locomotive
sputtered sparks from its stack in such
abundance that the clothing Of some Of
the passengers caught fire. The road
bed was not the smoothest and the run
ming gear OF the cars was not the most
flexible Consequently the train jolted
80 savagely that at one OF the numerous
stopping points-the De Witt Clinton
had to pause for breath every now and
then-the passengers got OF, tore out
fence rails and wedged them between
the cars as bumpers. Schenectady was
finally made without anybody being
burned alive BY the cinders or joltsd
into Jelly by the kangaroclike progress
Of the train.

Yorktown Uncensored.

Now that it has been decided by the
National Yorktown Sesquicentcnntal
Commission that the surrender scene
shall be included in the pageantry that
is to form a part of the celebration OF
the event next October, the stir over
the matter, which has been considerable
and Nation wide will abate and the
plans for the affair can go forward.
There has been altogether too much
fuss over the question. Yet it has been
to good end. There should never have
been any question at all, indeed.
Elaborate arguments against the de-
piction Of the scene of the formal yield
ing of the sword of the British COM
mander at Yorktown have evoked only
a faint response from the country.
Overwhelmingly the public sentiment
has been adverse to such proposal.
Consideration for the sensibilities of a
national enemy defeated century and
a half ago has not appealed to the
logic or the emotions Of the public.
Suggested parallels between the York
town and Appomattox situations have
not elected any response Of assent to
the suggestion that 1t would be in
delicate to rub in by pageantry the
humiliation Of proud people.
Yorktown would not have been a
significant point in American history
but for the defeat of CORVALLIS there
by a combination of American and
French forces. For that defeat in 1871
meant the final triumph Of the cause
Of the colonists, who In l776 had de-
clared themselves to be independent Of
England. 1t meant the establishment
beyond question Of the American Re-
public. The surrender was the final
sct Of acknowledgment by England Of
the independence of the new state.
The yielding Of the sword of CORVALLIS
was but the ceremonial token Of the
surrender and therefore Of the &C.
acknowledgement
No yielding of the sword. no surren-
der. No surrender at Yorktown, no
victory for the colonists. Hence, no
celebration one hundred and fifty years
later. The sequence Of negatives Is
unacceptable. The deduction from them
is obvious. The National Commission
ON the Celebration Of the sesquicenten-
NAL of Yorktown has fully recognized
it, and that settles the matter. and the
countrywide publicity that has been
given to the affair by the discussion
over the surrender scene viii probably
result in a large attendance and the
complete success Of the undertaking.
