Article 8
Rv CARROLL PEEKE

Maryland overridden with too many small
loan companies, is staggering along under a
small-loan law that is antiquated and out
moded.
That charge was hurled today by State Com
missioner of Loans W. David Tilghman, jr.
He further charged that there is "legalized
racketeering in businesses kindred to making
small loans"
In his two years in office, Commissioner
Tilghman has been waging\a desperate fight
to enforce the law, to secure amendments that
would protect borrowers from excessive rates

Two Loan Sharks Convicted
His efforts have been supported by legiti-
mate loan companies, who are as anxious as ne
to have Moan sharks" driven out Of business
and to have the moneylending business con-
Quoted under strict rules.
Although the small-loan law has been on the
MARYLAND statutes for more than 20 years, 1t
was never invoked until short time ago, when
Commissioner Tilghman had two Baltimore
''loan sharks" arrested.
These men, who had been charging interest
at the rate of 600 per cent year, were found
guilty, and the judge issued warning that the
next SHARK" to be brought before him would

Glthf C:fh Of Nations Manufacturing in This Sec
t;on
ed States.

The Importance of the South as ;
market for materials, equipment ane
power is shown by the total of ST..
239, ,455,903 spent for these items ir
1887.
The South produced in 1888, q
per cent of the country's pig iron
and II per cent of hot rolled iror
steel. In structural and ornamental
iron work in 1887, according to the
latest figures, total Southern pro.
ductlon was above 18 per cent o1
the total of the United States.
The South manufactured five.
sixths of the cotton consumed ir
United States mills in 1898. There
were 18,152,536 active spindles ir
Southern mills as compared with S.
814,516 in the rest of the country
The value Of output, giving the fig
ures of 1887, which are the latest
available was, 1891, 1868 for South
ern mills, and $339,512,9O8 for the
rest of the United States. This is an
increase of more than $211, 100000 in
the value of the South's output over
1885, and 1886, 100000 above 1893.
Southern cotton mills spent $780,
903,618 in 1887 for materials and
power.
Cottonseed crushed in the South
In the year ending July 81, 1888,
amounted to more than five-sixths
OF the amount crushed in the coun-
try, reaching high figure for the
last five years of 5,789,588 tons. The
total value of cottonseed products
that year in the United States was
$212, 1877 900, of which the South's
total was $192,416,OOO.
In the rayOn manufacturing in
dustry there are 27O plants in the
United States, of which the South has
81. The value of products of this in
dustry for 1887 was $484, ,47O,182 for
the United States, and $194 4,445, ,133
for the South, or more than 40 per
cent This is an understatement of
Southern production as United States
census figures take no account of
States having less than three estab-
lishments, such as Maryland and
Alabama, both of which have i'm
portant rayon mills although short
of the required number. These are,
however, included in the count for
the country as a whole.
The value of products of the lum-
Der industry in 1885 was $229,474,-
600, and in 1887, 1888, 3,O99,812, an in
crease of $103, ,812, or over As
per cent.
The products of Southern furniture
factories were valued in 1885 at $97,-
$4,000, and in 1887 at Sal, ,624,472,
an increase of $44,436,472, or almost
16 per cent.
The Southern fertilizer industry in
1885 had production valued at $97,-
365, 1000, and in 1887, a valuation of
S134 ,669,488. The latter figure is to
be compared with $195, ,759,025,
which is the value of the total out
put of the United States. Thus it is
shown that the South produces more
than 68 per cent of the fertilizer out
put of the country in dollar value,
with an increase in two years of over
38 per cent.
For 1888, total internal revenue
receipts in the South increased over
1887 more than $46,OOO,OOO, while
receipts for the entire United States
declined nearly $110,00O,0O0.
Aggregate resources of Southern
banks in 1888 increased more than
$46,OOO,OOO over 1897 while the rest
of the country showed a decline of
$639, 100000.

TOXIC, July % Sunday .-Japa-
nese warships stood by in northern
waters today awaiting instructions
from Toxic whether to proceed to
Sakhalin Island where a Japanese
Soviet Russian dispute has developed
over vital coal and oil supply
sources.
The ships were assembled for any
emergency after a japanese naval
spokesman described as extremely
serious the situation arising from
Russian threat to confiscate
Japanese oil concessions
on the Soviet half of the island
north of Japan.
The number of ships sent to the
northern waters since the dispute
became acute last Friday was a
closely guarded secret of the ad-
miralty.
The friction developed when the
Japanese oil companies refused to
pay stiff Soviet fine levied for al
legged violation Of union labor con-
tracts. The Japanese said the
charges were groundless.

BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, July 22.-Possible Euro
pean markets for the newly perfect
ed neo-heXane motor fuel, to which
are attributed increases as high as
Is per cent in power and climbing
performance of airplanes, are being
studied by Frank Phillips, chair
man of the Phillips Petroleum Corp.
Mr. Phillips, who arrived yester-
day from the United States, stressed
today that any sales of the prod
uct, whose military importance was
pointed out as obvious, arranged
with European governments would
be completed only with the full ap-
proval of the United States State
Department.
He said his continental travel
plans were incomplete and that
while he might possibly visit Ger
many. he had no appointments there.
Billy Parker, manager of Phillips
aviation division, who is accompany
ing the chairman, explained:
Neo-heXane, which never before
has been produced, is a pure hydro
carbon which, mixed in equal guam
titles with iso-octane, the highest
test hydrocarbon heretofore avail
able, and properly loaded, will pro-
duce an aviation fuel of from IL to
l8 points higher octane count than
any previously known"
The new product can be stored
indefinitely.
Higher compression engines will
be necessary to take full advantage
of it. but with those the makers as
sert there will be slight increase in
speed and a marked increase in
power.
I'VE are now turning out enough
of the product from small plant
for full-scale test flights which are
to be carried out by United States
Army and Navy planes within the
next few days" Mr.. Phillips said
by the first of the year We will
be making enough to meet all de-
mands from a plant now under con-
struction at Berger, Tex. Neo-hex-
ane is not produced from oil, but

TOXIC, July % (Sunday).-For-
eign Minister Hachiro Arita and
British Ambassador Sir Robert Les
lie Craigie late last night completed
details of their agreement for con-
ference on British-Japanese differ
ences in the Far East.
The two officials worked an hour
on the wording of an announcement
to be made simultaneously in Lon
don and Toxic tomorrow on the
fruits of their four talks defining
the form and scope of the British
Japanese conference.
Their meeting followed a report
by Arita to the cabinet in which he
was quoted authoritatively as hav-
ing said, Britain has accepted all
Japanese proposals."
Premier Baron Kiichiro Hiranuma
later reported on the matter to En-
peror Hirohito.
Domei, Japanes news agency
quoted the Premier as telling the
japanese press that Britain had
agreed to withhold further financial
assistance to Generalissimo Chang
, Kai-Shek In China.
He was said to have added that
British rights and interests in China
may be recognized only if Britain
recognizes the interdependency of
Japan, Manchukuo and China"
In London, the British foreign
Office spokesman said, There is no
foundation for the belief that Britain
will withdraw support from Chinese
currency" and added that TOXIC re-
ports concerning the negotiations
should be accepted with caution.
Japanese said they had achieved
great victory" in the first British
japanese talks, but their exultation
was dampened somewhat by the fact
London has not yet approved the
agreement reached by Sir Robert
and Arita.
If Britain approves, general con-
ference is expected to start next
week with military and diplomatic
aides joining the Ambassador and
foreign minister, who thus far have
