nUT in what used to be called the
~ county or that part of the Dis
trict beyond the boundary. or what is
now Florida avenue, there were several
early schools, of which the writer Is
somewhat personally familiar. One
of these was the Mount Pleasant
School. which stood about where Is
now the johnson School.
In 1881 Della M. Tingle taught
grades / and ? in this school, Eliza
beth P. Grigg, who succeeded William
P. Lipscomb, grades 3 and 4, and Mrs.
Julia Z. York grades to 8. For the
year ended June 80. 1879. the follow
ing pupils, being instructed by Mrs.
York. received diplomas as a reward
for some particular study: Albert S.
Davis, Frank P. Davis, Alice G.
Emery, Althea R. Hamilton. Blanche
I. Hewlett, Katherine Nichols, Hubert
E. Pack, Annie D. Pyles, Mary G. Sax
ton, Louise @. Saxton, William Tan

Those who attended Miss Grigg's
school and who were especially good
in some particular way, were: Herbert

dey. In February, 1880. Laura A.
Reed was teaching boys and girls in
the eighth grade; Dexter A. Smith,
the seventh grade: Mrs. Mary e. Tur-
ner. the sixth grade: Mrs. Mary Jane
Bates was teaching q mixed class OF
sixth grade pupils: Florence p. Sulli-
van was instructing q fifth-grade class
Of boys and. girls; Emma L., Cooley
taught a similar cfxss: Katie A. wilson
taught the fifth grade also, and Kate
M. Blundon taught both the fourth
and fifth grades. No doubt many
Georgetown men and women whose
hair Is now streaked with gray, or
maybe entirely gray. will recall with
pleasure these old teachers.
Beside the High Street School, the
Threlkeld School and the Curtis
School, there were four other public
schools in Georgetown in 1880, but
then we must remember the popula-
ton of this part Of Washington was
nothing like what it is today.
THE old engine house at Nineteenth
and H streets northwest did duty
for Q number Of years as q school
house, and at least one Of the present
members Of the Association Of Oldest
Inhabitants. Walter B. Patterson
attended there in his youth. This
gentleman later became a teacher in
the public schools and after having
served as supervising principal for
many years. was retired in June. 1891,
after a service Of as years. He is now
holding an ofiicial position at Rock
Creek Cemetery.
In 1883 Mr.. Patterson was assigned
to the Force building on Massachu-
sets avenue. between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth streets. and here he re-
manned until 1892. when he was
transferred to another district.
Today the Force School Is no doubt
the most famous school in Washing
ton for the noted persons who at
tended there in their early life. To
attempt mention of the names of all
would take too much space, but a
few will give an idea Of the high
standing of the pupils attending this
old building. One, for instance, was
Maj. Gen. Douglass Macarthur, who
will soon take up his new duties Of or
ganizing the military defenses Of the
new commonwealth government of the
Philippines, after having served as
chief Of staff Of the Army since No
vember 81, 1890. Indeed, the military
branch Of the Government is more
than represented in its graduates
A few, however, will suffice: Lieut..
Col. Dean Halford, @. M. c., retired;
Lieut.. Col. Frank Halford. U. s. M. c.,
retired; John Hudson Poole, former
major, u. 8. A.: Philip Sheridan, son
Of the famous general. who died dur
ing the World War; Gen. John F.
Myers, U. s. M. c., to whom the
Spanish nag floating over Guam was
surrendered during the Spanish Amer
lean War, and Gen. William NJ

Maj. Richard Wallach. became an

Bloody New York Underworld War
Blamed On Gangster Usury Racket

The small loan business is known
Variously as the six for five rack
et,' the Brooklyn racket" and the
"Shylock racket" Loans are made
to families in emergencies-gener-
ally In case of sickness, death, child
birth and unemployment-the Rus
sell Sage Foundation found in its
investigation.
Employers are to blame in many
cases, the Foundation said, because
they forbid employees to purchase
goods on the intalment plan or to
borrow from personal loan COM
panies. Workers, needing money,
were forced to borrow from the
illegal sharks rather than risk hav-
ing their employers learn of their
loans through legitimate channels.
Once the loan is made the rack
eteer lenders prefer to receive only
the interest each week, leaving the
principal out at the usurious rates.
Loans seldom are made in excess
of 50 and are mostly for IS and
$40.
One case attracted particular at
tention of investigators. A Negro
employed at the New York Post
office borrowed from five racket
eering lenders and the interest al
most equalled his wages. He was
seeking still another loan to meet
the interest payments before col
lectors" returned to beat him.
Some of the borrowers have been
beaten so badly that they were
treated at hospitals.
Encouraging use of legitimate
lending agencies or vigorous pros
ecution o fthe illegal business are
the only ways to combat the rack

NEW YORK, Nov. 1e. WPl-A
racket as old as money itself is
blamed for New York Citys latest
gang war and death to IA racket
GERS within a month.
1t Is 1895 model usury in which
collection syndicates" beat small
Salaried borrowers when they fail
to pay interest of from 20 to so per
cent a week on small loans. The
interest payments amount to $1,000,-
900 a month, investigators estimated.
GangsterS turned to the racket
within the past two years, after re-
peal of liquor prohibition laws, and
added their variations to the illegal
Shylock BUSINESS. Before then bor-
rowerS were negligent about paying
because there was no agent of law
that could force them. Gangland' IS
agents of tough thugs soon built the
business into lucrative practice. After
a borrower is mauled once or twice
by these agents they make arrange
mentS to pay the eXorbitant inter-
est when 1t is due.
Arthur Dutch Schultz Flegen-
heimer, one-time Bronx beer ba-
ron, was the reputed king of the
Shylock racket at the time of his
assassination with three aides In a
Newark, N. j., chop house during
the recent gangland outbreak. Po-
lice found records that indicated he
had made nearly s1,000,000 in a few
weeks preceding his death.
Gangs of the Amberg brothers
and Charles lucky Luciano also
were in the Shylock racket. The
last of the Ambergs fell in the
month of terror. Luciano fled to
Florida while police sought means
to bring him back to question him
about the gangland killings.

The new 225 cubic inch racing
hydroplanes will decide the class
world titular issue when they wind
up their second season at the
Presidents Cup regatta on the Po-
tomac here September % and %.
The Presidents Cup races are ex'
pected to bring out the largest
fleet of 225's in the two-year his
tory of the class.
Thirty-six official numbers have
been issued to 225 owners so far
by Charles F. Chapman, of New
York, A. P. B. A. racing commits
sion secretary. Two Of these are
new boats being built for the
Washington regatta by Jack Dunn,
of Miami, Fla, and John Shibe,
the Philadelphia baseball mag
nate.
Honors have been we'll divided
in the 225 class this season.
Harold Wilson, of mgerson, Ont,
again won international laurels at
Toronto last week when his Little
Miss Canada Nv beat out a field
of 10 boats, the largest number Of
225's yet to face the starting gun.
Wilson bested three of the fast
est 225 boats in the United States
in the recent Toronto engagement.
These were S. M. Auerbach's
Emancipator w, which set a new
one-mile record of 63.5 miles per
hour Immediately following the
race and holds the class competl-
ton mark at 56.426 miles per

Garrett Waters this year. In
this half dozen not one easy
opponent is on schedule. The list
starts with the Western game
october 4, at Western.
The next contest is with East
ern at Eastern, october II, while
completing the october activities
is the Central clash, october IL
at Central. Incidentally, this lat
ter game was first arranged for
Monday, but will be played on
the October IL date instead.
A contest with Calvert Hall, OF
Baltimore, is on tap November 2.
This opens the path for the last
two games of the season-gameS,
however, that will mean a great
deal to the team because they are
against prep school rivals.
GONZAGA NOV. 8
The first Of these is against
Gonzaga at GonZaga, November
8. The other is with Georgetown
Prep at Garrett Park, NoVem-
Der IA.
The Johnnies will be fairly well
equipped for their big assignment,
If Coach Irving (Horse) Hol-
brooks teachings mean anything
at all.
Holbrook has a collection Of
capable youngsters under his tute-
lage, many of whom played on
the st. Johns team last year.
Among this group, Holbrook
will build his lineup. The list in
cludes Leo Dunn, quarterback.
and James Kirby, guard, co-cap-
tains; Reds Lacey, guard, James
Zogts, center, James Ertter, end,
and Benedict Mclaughlin and
Phil Vincent, backs.
There are several new men
showing UP well in the daily prac-
tice sessions. Wally Myers, James
Cranston, John Buckley and Ray
Wise, backs, are among this group,
while Alex Rohan, Joe Mickey,
William Stanton, Francis Burns,
Louis Gross and John Reyes are
linemen.
AVIGNONE ABSENT
The Johnnies will start the sea-
son without one promising ball
player. He is Martin Avignone, fast
end. This lad has foregone foot
ball for the season, due to an in
Jury he suffered last year either
on the gridiron or elsewhere.
This is indeed a blow to the
Johnnies, but it is Coach Hol-
brooks hope to develop some
youngster to fill the vacancy.
Either Rohan, Mickey, Stanton,
Burns, Gross or Reyes will be Sc
lected before the Western game.

Potent Factor

CAMP LET'S, Md, Sept. 10.
Evidence is piling up here daily
pointing to the strengthening of
the George Washington Uni
versity offense for 1885. And
nothing could suit the coaches
more since the offense was want
ing last year when the Colonials
needed only a consistently potent
attack to achieve a brilliant
record.
AS the preseason training
draws to a close Head Coach Jim
Pixlee smiles at the prospect
of more reserve backS-faSter,
harder-hitting, smarter backs who,
with Tuffy LeemanS seemingly
headed for his greatest season,
will give George Washington an
attack comparable with its
staunch defense. The defense
last season yielded only one touch
dawn from scrimmage. a record
equalled by less than five major
teams in the country.
In yesterdays second scrim-
mage the second-string backfield
scored twice on the first-string de-
tense which included such vet
Grams as Alb Wright and Hank
Wonder Bruegge, ends; Dale
Prather, tackle; Sid Kolker,
guard; Red Rathjen, center, and
Leemans and Ray Hanken, backs.
Composing the Second-String were
George TrinaStich and Vince De
Angels, halfbackS; Bob Williams,
quarterback and Herb Reeves,
fullback. TrinaStich, who ran 60
yards to score on a single reverse
play, and Reeves, who blocked
effectively, are playing their Sec
ond varsity year. De Angels and
Williams are SophomoreS.
In the first string backfield
were Leemans, Hanken, Lou Car
roll and George jenkins. Only
Carroll, q sophomore, hasn't had
varsity experience. LeemanS is a
senior and the other two are
juniors.
