FOR LOAN SHARK
Grand Jury ' Investigating

"NUISANCE" CHARGE MADE
Pitiful Cases Come to Knowledge of
Authorities During Qnlet Ins,
ligation Slate Banks An
Given Warning.
Operations of loan sharks in Port
land were mada the subject of Investi
gation yesterday by the grand Jury,
and nearly the whole afternoon was
given to hearing the pitiful stories of
victims of the money-lenders, of whom
half a dosen were In waiting.
While on the face of the statutes.
no law Is seen which covers the acts
of extortion with which these men are
charged, a method of reaching them
has been found by Deputy mstrict At
torney Collier In the all-embracing
"nuisance" statute, and It Is under
this section of the code that the prose
cutor will ask the jurors to return a
true bill against one or more. Tbe act
covers the cae or anyone wno snail
Injure the person or property of an
other,"" and provides a penalty of im
prisonment from one to six monins or
a fine of 150 to COO.
Aroused by a series of exposures, cul
minating In the particularly pitiful
case of Oeorxe and Jane Tleraeyer.
Instrlct Attorney Cameron announced
several months ago that he - would
proceed against the usurers, but pres
sure of other business haa postponed
the action until now. It was first In
tended to proceed under a city com
plaint, charging tbe keeping of a dis
orderly house, on the strength of an
Kastern decision that usury being In
violation of. law. a place where usury
was continuously carried on was a
disorderly place. There was found to
be no statute fitting with this decision,
and the nuisance act was appealed to
Instead.
HeTelaMeaa Are fboefciaar.
Beginning with a quiet Investiga
tion by Attorney Roscoe P. Hunt, the
operations of tba loan sharks have
been uncovered within the past few
months and shocking revelations of
their methods have been brought out.
In case after case It haa been shown
that a poor working man. In a moment
of pecuniary stress, has gone to one
of these losn agents for a small sum.
and has fallen deeper and deeper In
the grip of debt until some have been
driven to suicide or crime. In every
case Investigated It was found that
ample security had been exacted,
either by assignment of salary or by
chattel mortgage, but in default of both
of these the money-lender still held
tbe whip hand through default Judg
ments, blackmailing collection agen
cies att't supplemental proceedings In
which the victim Is periodically forced
to reveal every detail of his domestic
affaire, to ensure that be is not con
cealing assets which could be levied
upon.
Through the publication of rasa
after rase much public Interest was
aroused; plana which are still In prog
ress were formed for the establish
ment of a remedial loan company, sev
eral large corporations took up the
duty of making loans to their em
ployes, and tbe city government made
It a misdemeanor for any city em
ploye to make an assignment of his
salary. The state banking officials
also became Interested and forced In
corporated banks which were engaged
In tbe shark business to discontinue It
on pain of losing their status as banks.
Complaints decreased and appeals to
the courts to collect usurious claims
became much rarer. The petty courts
assisted by putting a check on the
abuse of supplemental proceedings, and
Justice Bell held In one case that a
debtor could not waive the exemptions
which acted as a protection to his
family, thus depriving the loan agen
cies of an advantage they had long en
joyed. Tleaaeyer Caae le Pitiful.
The case of Tlemeyer. who was be
fore the Jury yesterday, is a parti
cularly striking one. In a civil action
now pending be charges that M. E.
Schouwetler and Adolphus Lane, with
offices In the Ablngton building, made
a loan to him of tiu. and' that with
the addition of $50 received later, his
indebtedness amounted In a short time
to i:0 6. He was led to this point
through a series of transactions In
which a number of new lenders ap
peared, but he alleges that they are
all men of straw. At one time every
article of his furniture was removed,
and ha and his wife slept on the floor
until charitable neighbors succored
them.
Further evidence along the same line
will be taken today.

Office Boy Frlghteswd.
Over at the Kmpress this week he's
showing 'em how It's done at so much
per show. He showed ma for nothing
and the office boy and I got so agi
tated we nearly collapsed. Imagine a

you about the condition of political af

usual hokey-pokey. preeto - chango

the graceful proportions of an ostrich

shoulders begin to elongate.
In frosen fascination I and the
acared-to-death office boy watched the
broad shoulders climb, a la bean stalk

down to earth. All of ns did for a min

It was done.
Mr. Ryaa Explains, Bat
Charlie Is the best little explainer on
earth about some things, but not at
enlightening the general public how
Wlllard lengthens his Joints. "We Just
had to stand mildly by and absorb.
In turn we watched Wlllard lengthen
his arms H Inches. Oee! He'd be a
g-r-a-n-d clerk. Couldn't he stretch
out the ribbons lovely? He lengthens
his legs, too, and. leaving the top of

long-legged bird stalking about. 1
didn't ask him If he could lengthen his
ears, but I'm sure he can. . ,e says It's
easy. We all practiced It after he had

one could come within hailing distance
of understanding how Wlllard "grows."

At this juncture of Ma recital the

"Here's a remarkable thing that has
very much impressed me: While I
was in Canada on my present tour of

to my uncle, whom I had not seen
since I was 7 years old and of whom.
In fact. I had never heard one word In
all that time. I had only the old home
town address L Roy, N. T. Here now
Is the really Interesting thing: That
postal card reached my uncle, although
he had moved from Le Roy over 1
years ago. If T knew where to reach
Uncle Ham I'd send him a letter of per
sonal thanks. Twelve years think of
It! and those mail-service fellows
back there traced him and gave him
my postal a 1-cent postal with a 1

Taft's theory of constitutional govern
ment, said Colonel Roosevelt here last
night. Is that It Is a "government ad
ministered by Messrs. Lortmer. Gug
genheim. Barnes, Galllnger and their
like, in defiance of the will of the
people: that It Is a government under
which the people sre defrauded of their
rights by these men."
The former President said Mr. Taft
was mistaken In asserting thst ths
success of the cause for which he
stands now seems assured.
Colonel Roosevelt began bis address
by saying that he would receive the
support of every Ohio Republican who
wished to vote at the primaries for a
progressive.
"I came Into thla fight." be said,
"only because It had become evident
that unless I did so there was not the
slightest chance of any progressive
winning the Republican nomination.
"Yesterday Mr. Taft said he believed
he would win the nomination because
he believed that the Chicago conven

COLUMBUS' VOYAGE SHOWN
Motion Plot are or Patriotic Value
Presented at People's.
No mo-e Interesting film from an ed
ucational standpoint baa ever been seen
than that depicting the voyage of Co
lumbus to the New World, which waa
shown Trldsy night for tbe first time at
a special exhibition In the People's
Theater, before members of the Censor
Board, teachers and the press. The
films give a pictorial review of the
career of the great discoverer from the
time of his entrance Into Spain, his re
ception by the monks of La Rtblida
and the beginning of his efforts to In
duce the King and Queen to furnish
an expedition, to the return from tbe
long voyage.
( The scenes at the court are on a mag.
nlflcent acale, costumes and furnish
ings being entirely In keeping with the
period. The earlier scenes on the bat
tlefield of Grenada are full of action
and romantic charm. The three ships
used are exact reproductions of those
presented to the United States by the
Spanish government and exhibited at
the Columbian Exhibition. The well
known Incidents of the voyage and the
landing are pictured with astonishing
realts-n.
The character of Columbus is por
trayed by Charles Clary, an actor not
unknown to Portland. He possesses
a countenance capable of expressing
the subtlest shades of feeling. The
films are to be shown all next week
at the Star Theater, beginning Sunday.
They afford an exceptional opportunity
to the atudent and the patriot.

TAFT FIRES NEW GUN
OHIOANS TOLD T. R. HAS SUP
PORT OF BOSSES.
President Delivers 14 Addresses
Bringing In Karnes of Dan Hanna
and Walter Brown.
TOLEDO, O.. May 18. President Taft
adopted yesterday new offensive tac
tics against Colonel Theodore Roose
velt. In nearly every one of his 14
speeches the President used sn argu
ment of particular Interest to Ohio and
to the northern part of the state,
bringing In continually the names of
Dan R. Hanna. of Cleveland, and Wal
ter Brown, of Toledo, two leaders of
the Roosevelt movement In this state.
"I've got tired being lied about and
being held op to the country as having
violated every rule of conduct when
I am not conscious that I have violated
any." shouted President Taft here last
night In a speech to a crowd that
filled the Toledo Auditorium.
"The memory of the names that Mr.
Roosevelt has called me," said . the
President, "still lingers In my ears.
Since the time he began his personal
attacks on me he has used all the epi
thets be could think of. such as no
President has ever been subjected to by
a man who had two terms In that of
fice." At Tiffin the President called Mr.
Brown "the only boss now In active
commission In the State of Ohio," and
charged that Mr. Hanna. "with un
limited wealth." waa allied with the
special Interests, but yet was recog
nized by Mr. Roosevelt as a patriot,
not a boss.
"I am not attacking Mr. Roosevelt
because Mr. Brown supports him," said
the President. "He Is Just like me and
Just like any other person in politics.
He takes the support of any man who
comes to him without asking him for
a certificate of character from the
Young Men's Christian Association."
Mr. Taft made the last speech of the
day In Toledo.
Speaking at Bellevue yesterday Mr.
Taft declared that much of the support
now being given Colonel Roosevelt In
his tight for a rersTTilnatlon is coming
from men Indicted by the Taft Admin
istration. "To say that, because a man sup
ports you. you are bound up with him,
is to say something not Justified by
the mere fact of his support If It were
Justified thus. I could say that Mr
Roosevelt ought not to get your votes,
because all the Indicted people are sup
porting him as they are or most of
them."

THE LAND OF PROMISE
The Creator's Unfinished Work
Completed An Empire Made
We all live from the soil, directly or indirectly. In buy
ing land, your first thought is, how much can I produce and
how much land will it take to produce a certain amount of
Onions, Potatoes, Celery, Head Lettuce, etc., and where is
the market. If ten acres of land at COLUMBIA DELTA
GAEDENS will produce as much as 50 acres of any other
land, then yon would buy the 10 acres instead of any other
fifty acres.
Last year we offered for sale 1100 acres of this rich sub
irrigated peaty soil. Several hundred acres of this is now
