This la an extract from a letter addre.sed to The Bee by E. E. Brando, manager of the National Lead company. 1415-17 Dodge street, reference to the outrages perpetrated upon urfortunate pertons who happen to get Into their clutches by the loan sharks or body snstchers of Omaha. The letter reflects the determined sentiment that has crystallised against this class of Individuals since The Bee took up the cine of Mrs. A. H. Hoffman, the washerwoman, who paid "Interest" of 17 W on a loan of tlO wUhout touching the principal. Some of the most prominent business men of th city, in sdaltlcn to Mr. Brando, have signi fied a determination to put entirely out of business there Individuals. The head of one of the big stores haa proffered his assistance In putting an end to tha Illegal oppresslone of these eo-called "body anatchers." An executive official of one of the railroads haa expressed a willing ness to help. tart Strong Movement. Mr. Brando says: 1 OMAHA, Feb. 26 To the Editor of The Bee: The exerience of a poor washer woman with a chattel loan shark that has Just been made public in the columns of The Bee through the good work of Attorney John O. Yelser should lie sufficient to start a strong movement toward the sup pression or strict It gal control of this form of outlawry. This chattel loan business is bad enough, but. In my opinion. It does not csrry with it the serious consequences that follow loans on (unearned) salaries. A case in point: A hard-working man, on a small salary, borrowed 140 from the Reliable Credit company, S"7 Paxton block. He signed a note for $56. 5U, due in six months, and agreed to ray $4.50 twice a month in reduction of principal. He de faulted on one payment and waa assessed 43 cents In consequence. The man s em ployer learned of the transaction and ten dered the Reliable Credit company the bal ance due on the principal plus 10 per cent per annum interest, or ii altogether, anu i demanded the rtturn of the note for $f.5."'. It was accepted the note was surrennerea and receipt given in full. The sallow-ance of 10 per cent interest was. of course, a gratuity, the law allowing only the return of the principal on ugurloua contracts. Hundreds, probably thousands, of similar usurious contracts or loans are made by the various salary loan concerns In Omaha and most of them are paid out at the kill ing rates of 'interest imposed, though the road to final payment la a long and rocky one. Many of the borrowers are ignorant of the law; most of them would be unwill ing to have their obligations known, and a large majority of them are paying in usuri ous ratea of Interest what should go to the support of the family. Vastly better would their condition be were they unable to borrow a penny on such terms as are Im posed, rates thst run all the way from 76 per cent to 1&0 per cent per annum. In most cases, if not all, the employer Is not consulted and Is in utter Ignorance of the loan made to his employe. In this fact Ilea a menace. The efficiency of any employe la bound to be Impaired by the worry that la certain to follow getting Into the hands of a salary loan shark, and every mrr ehant should make It his first business to ascertain to what extent. If any. his em ployes are obligated on such loans. In no case should a loan on unearned salary be permitted without the consent or at least the knowledge of the employer. A law to this effect should be passed and put into Immediate effect by the next legislature. Another Victim Rescued. Through the efforts of his employer, Wil liam C. Peterson, foreman of the East Omaha plant of the Rex Food company, was taken out of the hands of the loan sharks. F. O. Moburg, president of the company, took charge of the case and forced a settlement. An agent of H. L. Mackley went to the office of th Rex Food company to garni shee the wagea of Peterson In payment of Interest on a $2 loan Peterson had made from Mackley last April. Peterson hap pened to be In conversation with Mr. Mo burg and when the agent appeared to garni shee the wages Mr. Moburg asked Into the facts and then told the agent he would take the matter out of the hands of Peter son and settle the claim himself. The agent showed where Peterson owel Cf 10 on his original $25 loan after making alls Intereet paymenta except the last one. When It was learned that the agent of the loan company had laid violent hands upon Mrs. Peterson to scare he Into paying the Interest with money she did not have, Mr. Moburg railed up the loan company and offered $15 in settlement of all claims on the original loan. The loan company Instructed its officer to take Mr. Moburg a offer cf settlement, aa It did not desire to deal with any busi ness men accustomed to doing buslneaa on buslneaa principles Keep your money at home.

NEEDS HELP OF LOCAL SHIPPERS Without rosnusleeloa May Order Dis tance Tar I ST, Cutting I.larela Out of the Xorth riatte Territory. After fighting Omaha In numerous suits Involving alleged per gdvantage before the Interstate Commerce commission, the Lincoln Commercial club and wholesale interests of the capital city, will be com pelled to ask aid of the Omaha shippers to prevent the commission from ordering a distance tariff, which would bar Lincoln from North Platte territory and cut the differentials which Lincoln haa enjoyed In the South Platte territory. The railroad commission has called a hearing for March J4 to consider what plan of rate making Is best for the Interests of the state. It is claimed that the stste as a whole will reap much benefit from the promulgation of a schedule of flat rate, maximum and minimum distance tar iffs, similar to those In effect In Iowa. While such distance tariffs will hurt Omaha to some extent, railroad offlclala and shippers say that It will wipe Lincoln off the map as a whoteaale center. ItN Is not known yet what the Omaha Commercial club will do. Commlasloner J. M. Guild Is noncommittal. The transpor tation committee of the Grain Exchange met Tuesday, but Chairman E. E. Bruce of the committee would not discuss the action which the Grain exchange will take. The prediction Is made that the Omaha shippers will oppose a distance tariff, un less the carriers are allowed to make a schedule of rates to Jobbing and distribut ing centers, lower than the schedule of rates obtaining between nonjobblng and nondlstributing centers. Maeola Sow Haa Beat of It. At present Lincoln shippers have a dis tinct advantage ot a differential of i cents on first-class and 4 cents on fourth-class merchandise to points on the Northwestern, Black Hills line. The rate will hinge on the distance from Lincoln to Fremont and the distance from Omaha to Fremont, when the distance tariff la ef fective. According to the Iowa tariff the rate from Omaha to Fremont will be lf.5 cents on first class and 10. cents on fourth class merchandise. The rate from Lincoln to Fremont will be 20.5 cents on first class and 10.8 cents on fourth class. Rates will be In favor of Omaha to all stations on the Black Hills line. Another instance where Lincoln will lose unless the shippers of the capital city se cure the assistance of Omaha, is shown In the rates to Central City, which under the distance tariff would be the nolnt which would govern almost all the ratea north of the river. Aa Lincoln now h a rate to Central City aome 4 or 6 centa lower than the rate In Omaha, under the distance tariff It will be cut down to some thing like 2 cents. In the south Platte territory on the Burlington, Lincoln haa rate of 6 centa on first class and 4 centa on fourth class, better than Omaha. The distance tariff will cut down the differen tial a cent or two and leave Lincoln in' worse condition than It Is at present, with its limited business. Business men are much agitated over the call of the railroad commission, which Is the most sweeping proposition ever at tempted by a state railroad commission. The hesrlng will embrace everything from a discussion of the advisability of pro mulgating the distance tariff to a correc tion off minimum weights and the readjust ment and correction of classification In the state. , TAFT COMES APRIL SIXTH Secretary of War Will Speak at the Auditorium a That Mlbt.
