In this general connection, the asso-

the Committee on Relations with the
Bar that survey of the country shows
practically all the member organiza-

1t is only In very rare instances
that there are complaints from mem

cases by legal aid organizations" the
report says.
In another report from its Committee
on Small Loans and Investments, the
association was advised that credit
unicns have accomplished much toward
furnishing funds to persons of small
means at lump rate and on safe
basis.
Report on Small Loans.
The organization of the small loan
business is absolutely necessary and
personal finance companies have rem
dered import3 ant service in this field. the
committee said. 1t added. however. that
the usual rate of 8 or 3l2 per cent per
month is considered high and places a
DuIoeH upon lnaI group OF people with
limited incomes, who are least able to
pay such rate. 1t was pointed out
that credit unions are based essentially
on cooperation, and not on the profit
motive
The credit union movement is active
here right now among Government en-
ployes, several groups of which have
started the formation of such agencies
following legislation governing them
which was passed at the last session of
Congress.

Commission to Install New
Plan, Beginning With Street
Car Systems.
WOULD END LONG GAPS,
SAVE TIME AND MONEY
Five-Cent Zone Fare Conference
Fails as w. R. & E. Co. Re-
fuses to Take Part.

A new departure in valuation pro-
ceedings will be inaugurated by the
Public Utilities Commission beginning
with the valuation of the properties OF
the city's two street car systems, which
is expected to go into public hearings
next month. From now on valuations
will be kept up to date from month
to month and from year to year by
the keeping of an up-to-date inventory
at the commissions offices and by the
monthly and yearly application of cost
1ndices to the various items of prop
erty to keep the values always current.
The commission, in this step. is fol-
lowing the lead of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which has inaugu-
rated a similar system of keeping rail-
road valuations up to date. Commits
Sfoner Riley E. Elgen, formerly valu-
alton attorney with the 1nteIState Com
merce Commission, is responsible for
the new system with the Public Utilities
valuation matters for the local COM
mission.
Would Be Time Saver.
Mr.. Elgen explained that this would
eliminate the long gaps between valu-
ations, and would be a saving of time
and money 1t will deprive the COM
panies of one of the points they used
to raise in courts, the fact that the
valuations were out of date. This
point is not heard from much today,
since out-of-date valuations, with pres
ent price levels, are usually higher than
those current. In the case of the street
car companies. 13 years have elapsed
were announced on September 4, 1919,
when the Washington Railway g. Elec-
trio Co. was found to be worth Sl6,l06,-
36814 and the Capital Traction Co.
S14,270.495. Both companies promptly
took their valuations to court, urging
numerous errors on the part of the
commission. The Wreco valuation still
languishes there, but the Capital Trac-
tion figure was revised by the Court
of Appeals to 5,756, $50 as of January
/. 1925. On December l, 1921. the
commission issued a revised figure for
the Wreco of SIT ,409, ,52773.
Hearing to Be Called.
The force working on the present
valuation. which at its peak numbered
10 men. has now dWindled to two. Ali
CT the accounting work has been fin
ished, but some of the engineering mat
tera remain to be attended to. These
will be wound up by the close OF Oc-
ber and after the commission has had
en- opportunity to look the figures over
a public hearing will be called. 1t is
understood that the forces working on
valuations Of the companies are not as
nearly ready as the commissions staf.
Meanwhile. the valuation of the
Washington and Georgetown Gas Light
Companies is also under way. This will
be completed by the close of the year.

HHERE will be no more gorillas at
the National Geological Park-at
least for the present.
| The death yesterday of Okero,


the National Geological Park-at
least for the present.
i The death yesterday Of Okero,
two-year-old mountain gorilla,
has convinced DR.. William M. Mann,
Zoo director, that it is almost hopeless
to try to keep these extremely sensitive
and almost human animals under
present conditions.
The longest record ever obtained for
a gorilla in captivity, Dr. Mann said, is
five years. For the past 35 years at
least one gorilla has been brought to
Europe every year, and all have sue
cumbed in a short time Although the
strongest and most intelligent of the
great apes, the gorilla appears to have
far less ability to adjust to life in cap
tivity than the chimpanzees and
orang-utans.
One of the best records in captivity
was that Of Ngi, the lowland gorilla,
who survived for nearly five years in
captivity and remained in thriving con-
dition until his death of pneumonia at
the Zoo last Spring. After Ngi died
DR.. Mann had little hope Of rearing
Okero, more delicate animal
be practically impossible to obtain one
of these animals in the future They
are now protected almost as much as
If they were human beings to save them
from extinction. There are two kinds
of gorillas, the lowland and the noun
tain, differing considerably in appear
ance and behavior. The lowland race,
OF which N'gi was an excellent repre-
sentative. inhabits a narrow area Of
rather dense jungle in West Africa and
comes under the jurisdiction of the
French, Spanish and British govern
ments. All these governments now alb
solutely prohibit the killing of these
animals. The only way to capture a
gorilla alive is to kill the mother and
take the sucking infant. Since these
animals live in packs 1t generally
means killing four or five to get one liv-
ing baby. Nearly all gorillas ever III
captivity have belonged to this race.
Okero was one of the few representa-
tives of distinctly different race, the
mountain gorilla. There are two other
mountain gorillas. brought in at the
same time by Martin Johnson, the
African explorer, now at the San Diego
Zoo. At last accounts they were doing
we'll. But it is unlikely that mountain
gorilla will come into captivity again
for many years. Their whole range in
the highlands of the Belgian Congo has
been set aside by the Belgian govern
ment as gorilla preserve. with an in
ternat!onal advisory board Of scientists.

CONFERENCE FAILURE.

Refusal of the Washington Railway

ence proposed by Peoples Counsel Rich
mond B. Keech on the introduction of
a scent zone fare for Washington street
cars and buses. The Capital Traction
Co. and the Washington Rapid Transit
Co previously had agreed to take part
in the conference.
The decision of the Washington Rail-
way g. Electric Co., based on the con-
tention that the present time is inop-
perfume to risk experiments, was con-
tanned In a letter to the Public Utilities
Commission, the companys directors
having discussed the proposed confer
ence at last Wednesdays board meeting.
Numerous experiments have been
made along similar lines under varying
conditions as presented in individual
cases with varying results-mostly neg
ative," the letter stated in referring to
q Scent zone fare.
"The street car companies recognize
the difficulty they have of stimulating
greater use of their facilities under ex-
isting conditions because there are so
many factors that have to be reckoned
with beyond their control.

warned the world that unless Ger
many can sell her goods abroad she
will not be able to meet even her
private obligations abroad. She
owes some $1,000 900, 900 to private
investors, ana of this more than
$4,000, O00, 900 was loaned by Amer
leans.
Obviously tremendous pressure
would be brought to bear on Wash
ington to prevent swapping this
two billion-do bird in the hand
for the bird or so in the bush rep
resented by war debts.
Under the circumstances the re-
port that the debtor nations of
Europe either together or separate
ly will shortly approach Uncle Sam,
offering 10 cents on the dollar, is
given credence, at least in principle.
A billion dollars cash in hand

~ Times Special
PHILADELPHIA, oct. 24.-The
farm vote that went to elect Presi-
dent Hoover in 1928 actually has
swung to the Democratic party, ex-
cept in limited territory in the
northeastern states. This is the
only conclusion that can be drawn
from the latest straw vote figures
given out by the Farm Journal to-
day.
This vote is taken among farmers
only and principally by a personal
farm-to-farm canvass, by far the
most reliable method, say the ed
itors.
A tabulation of electoral votes,
on Ehe basis of. these figures, gives
President Hoover only 203 votes and
Governor Roosevelt 1923. This,
however, allots to Mr.. Hoover such
states as New Hampshire, Iowa ana
Kansas, where the actual ballot to-
tails favor the Democratic candi-
date.
1t also places Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, New York and New
Jersey in the Republican column,
a doubtful matter in view of the
heavy city vote in these states.
The Farm Journal sees no evil
dence of any change of trend to-
ward the Republican candidates in
recent weeks among farmers in the
states west and south of Pennsyl-
Vania.
