TO RESTRICT LOAN SHARKS
Measure Drawn by Yeiser and Thomas
for the Legislature.
LATTER WILL INTRODUCE BILL
Body Snatrbera Ara ftnletlr Prenar
, ins to Pat a Lobby la Lincoln,
aa They Hare Done la
' Former Year.
A bill to curb the avarice of loan aharks
who prey on men of meager salary and
exact usurious Interest after luring un
forunatea Into, their offices by graphic ad
vertisements and cleverly-worded promises,
will be Introduced at the next aesslon of
the legislature by Walter P. Thomas, one
of the Douglas county delegation to the
house.
Tho -exact details of the bill have not
been worked out yet, but a measure Is now
being drawn by Mr. Thomas and John O.
Yeiser, who has led the flgM In Omaha
against the hody-snatuher methods of the
nhattle money loaners. The bill will be
directed against the evils of the system
which now enable money loaners to vio
late law and decency lit the exaction of
from uO to 100 per cent Interest a year
from their victims.
Mr. Yelscr has already outlined a plan
whereby he hopes to prevent the sale of
usurious notes to Innocent purchasers,
making them collectible. lie proposes to
do this by requiring that usurious notts
be endorsed with notice thtt they are
contaminated by usury. He would make
It a criminal offense to sell such a note
without first so endorsing It. This would
protect legitimate - business and would
operate to prevent traffic In the papers
secured by loan. men at usurious rates.
Bar oa Aastsjnlna; Salaries.
. Restrictions may also be placed In the
new legislation on the wholesale assignment
of salaries earned and unearned1 which are
the basis of the blood-sucking operations
of some chattel loan men. At present the
unexperienced borrower will sign a blank
assignment 1 of his wages or give to same
person connected with the loan company a
power of attorney. In some cases these
assignments ' or .powers of attorney havo
bobbed up. months and years afterward to
prevent poor men dependent on the'r daily
earnings frcSn collecting their' wages except
by litigation which they cannot ufford.
Several states have restrictions of one
kind or another. One state requires tho
employer of the man to sign the assignment
In order to make It valid.'
Mr. Thomas and Mr. Yelscr will hold aev
eral consultations before drawing up a bill
In its final form. The legislation Is con
sidered of great Importance and every ef
fort will be made to put the measure In
such form cannot be Invalidated by the
courts. i
The loan sharks are , not Indifferent to
the movement to remove their tentacles.
Some of them are quite as busy In prepara
tion of a defense In the shape of a lobby
for whose maintenance a plethoric pot will
be necessary. Four years ago the loan
shark lobby wAs quite strong, so it was in
190J. A fellow who has been In many dif
ferent lobbies and Is now running a weekly
paper of a peculiar character In Lincoln
was the head man for the body snatchers
at Lincoln and Is said to have made It
pay him decidedly well.

tr. Jacob Gould Schurrosn, prealJent of
Cornell university, will deliver an addrtsj
at tlie National Corn exposition at 10:33
o'clock December 16 ec the Aud.torlum. A
telefcram from him gives definite word tliat
Mr. S( hurnian will be. here.
Dr. Schurman will arrive with his daugh
ter Tuesday, December 15, from Iowa City.
Dr. Bcburman Is one of the beit known
educators and orators of the country and
was chosen by President McKlnley to an
as chairman of the first Philippines coin
niltslon. With the retirement of President
Eliot of Harvard he comes very close to
being tiie best known college president in
the United States. He was requested to
choose a subject which will appeal to the
popurur mind, and he advised C. C. Rose
water yesterday by wire that he had chosen
"Our National Outlook" as his subject.
Even when cTfrcussIng a weighty theme,
however, he has a remarkabla faculty for
clear exposition and no living man la heard
generally with more interest when he. occu
pies the platform, for his appearances thus
ara not frequent, the Chautauqua platform
having never enticed him.
His appearance during the Corn exposi
tion Is a matter on which the exposition
officials are being congratulated. It la un
derstood that members of the Cornell
Alumni association will entertain him dur
ing his visit here.
, ew York la Awake.
' Even New York City has awakened to a
knowledge of the Corn exposition. The ap
pended letter shows that the soi-dlstant
residents of the metropolis sre aware that
the National Cora exposition is to be
held, and this may be termed a triumph,
for when men In "little old New York"
will take cognizance of anything west of
the Appalachians It means that the rest
of the country Is talking of nothing else.
The letter mentioned asks about railroad
fares. It may be answered that the West
ern Passenger association has gi anted a
cent-and-one-half rate through Its terri
tory, which reaches as far east as Ohio.
The Eastern Passenger association still has
the question under advisement. The letter
follows:
HISTED MILMNO AND ELEVATOJt
COMPANY.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13. Nye-Schneider-Fowler
Grain Company. Omaha, Neb.
Uentlemen: The writer has In mind at
tending the Corn exposition at Omaha and
would like to inquire if (he railroads are
making any rates for round-trip passage
from here, or If they are making round
trip rates from Chicago? I made this In
quiry from your Mr. Mott here in New
York and he referred me to you. If you
have this Information at hand, would ap
preciate your prompt reply. Yours ve:y
truly. U. J. JONE8.
Baaerara Fall of Ksnlblts.
Two large baggage cars are being loaded
on the Northwestern with exhibits for the
National Corn exposilion. one ot which mill
leave Chicago November zl and pick up
exhibits enroute and the other will leave
lirookmgs, 8. D., December 1 and will also
pick up a few more exhibits on the wsy
down. The railroads are immensely Inter
ested In the Corn show, more on account
of the educational features than because
of the Urge number of people they will
bring to the-show. To raise a few mor?
bushels of coin per acre over this vas.
t
corn-producing belt means an enormous In
crease in the wealth of the middle west,
from which the railroads will reap a har
vest In time, as well as all other business
Interests.
President Wattles, who Is preparing pro
grams for special events during tho Na
tional Corn exposition, hns designated the
evening of Wednesday, December 16, for th-;
appearance of Elngers and musicians among
the foreign born citizens of this as well as
other western cities. A little Investigation
diseloses the fact that there is an Immense
amount of what msy be called homo talent
In this region, which if brought together
is capable of producing a program of un
usual merit. Mr. Wattles wishes to hear
from all such musicians and asks the lend
ers of singing societies of every nationality
to communicate with him without delay.
Will H. Young, superintendent of grain
exhibits, arrived In Omaha Friduy and
plunged Immediately into his work. His
family accompanied him. E. II. McVann,
secretary of the Omtlia Grain exchange,
who has been in Kansas City and. Sioux
City the last few days, returned Friday
and said that Interests In the Corn expo
sition in those two cities was' intense.

NURSES CHAFE UNDER RULES
Voang Women at Methodist Hospital
Threaten to Quit, bat Are
t Work.
Objection among the nurses at the Metho
dist hospital to certain rules Imposed on
them since the new building was occupied
led to friction which threatened to re
sult In a walkout of the nurses Thursday
morning. Mrs. Lucia Rider Meyer of Chi
cago, superintendent of the Chicago Train
ing Schoql for Nurses and a member of
the general board of deaconesses work in
the Vhurch, arrived In Omaha Thursday
and It was sold her visit had some "con
nection with the trouble among the
nurses.
Since the hospital moved into the new
building at Thirty-sixth and Cuming
streets. Miss Anderson, superintendent of
nurses, has made more stringent regula
tions' than were necessary In the old hls
pital. The new rules do not meet with the
favor of the nurses and they are threaten
ing to go on a strike unless the rules sre
less severe. Some of them. It is under
stood, have also objected to the table
board they arc tecelving.
Mrs. McLaughlin, superintendent of the
hospital, la of the opinion all friction will
bo allayed without any serious conse
quences. "What little difficulty there was has
been settled," said Mrs. McLaughlin Fri
day morning. The nurses have made no de
mands on me and we have had no meetings
or negotiations of any kind with them.
Mrs. Meyer came from Chicago Thursday,
and I did not know she was here until
she telephoned me she was at the depot.
She did not come at my request and I do
not think any of the nurses have asked
her to come. She' has wanted to visit the
new hospital for a long time and I thin
she has Just taken this opportunity to
come,"
There are about fifty nurses In the train,
lng school connected with the hosplts'l
but how widespread among these the d.
satisfaction is the hospital authorities pro
tossed not to know. '
