Ancther new version of proper emall loan legislation for the Di trict—a bill designed to put “teeth” into the present law and drive “loan eharks” out of busindss—was for- warded to Congress by the Commis- sioners yesterday with a request for immediate consideration. | Chairman Palmisano of the House District Committee promised to intro. duce the measure tomorrow. ‘The latest plan of the Cnmmmmn»‘ ers would limit the interest charged | on all loans of $200 or less to 1 per rent a month, and prohibit other charges against the loan, such as those usually made for examinations, commissions, insurance premiums, etc Computation of Interest.

None of these measures passed, they said "largely by reason of the insistance | of certain groups upon a high rate | of interest and the equally strong | objections of other groups to any | Increase in the rate of interest to be allowed.” The new bill would license small foan operators on an annual basis | for a fee of $500 each. Violations of dte provisions would be subjected to a fine of $500 or six months’ imprison- | ment, or both, RIVER SEARCHERS FAIL TO FIND BODY OF GIRL = | Harbor Police Scout Theory That Leona Beck Swam Ashore After 100-Foot Plunge. An all-day search of the Potomac River by harbor police yesterday failed | to locate the body of 16-vear-old Leona | Beck, who jumped off Key Bridg Priday night. The girl's body failed | to rise to the surface after it struck the water The girl's leap was witnessed by her fmother, brother and two close friends Mrs. Goldie Beck, 1512 Wisconsin ave- nue, the girl's mother, said the ap- parently fatal leap climaxed a year of | trouble during which Leona grad-! ually drifted away from parental control. Police discounted reports | that Leona, a strong swimmer. might | have swum ashore after the 100-foat | plunge. They will resume dragging the river today.

Theft U;;epo;ted, Police Recover Stolen Money Fifth precinct police felt like con- gratulating themselves last night. ‘They had recovered an undisclosed amount of stolen money, and the theft hadn't even been reported. Held for investigation were an elderly colored man and his 13-year- old son. According to Precinct De- tective Watson Salkeld, jr., the pair had been going from store to store in the Southeast area, trying to “break” a bill of large denomination. A mer- chant notified police and their arrest followed. The son, Salkeld said, confessed he stole a sum of money a week ago from a truck parked at the South- west market. Police were unable to find a clue as to the owner, because there was no report of the theft avail- able. The father, according to the detec- tive, was in possession of the money at the time he and his son were ar- rested. Some of the loot had been spent, Balkeld said, on the old man’s friends and in other ways. < “I wanta go, t0o,” sobs Elizabeth Ann Dye as sh lucky bigger boys and girls leave for two weeks of fun at Camp Bennett.

Development of Roosevelt Island in the Potomac River as a fully equipped tional center for young people of the Capital has been proposed to the House District Committee by Mrs. C. A. Seoane, civic and philanthropic worker, it was learned vesterday. Committee Chairman. said the plan was under consideration, but that conferences are expected to be held with planning experts before any definite action is taken. As proposed by Mrs. Seoane, the de- velopmeént would path around the island, base ball and soft ball diamopd, soccer and foot ball fields, tennis and archery courts, swimming pool, shelter house, play- ground undera supervisor's direction during the Summer months, tables and benches for picnics and soft drink and ice cream concessions, island would be either by ferry or by a small bridge and path .leading to the west end of Memorial Bridge.

The cost of the work would be spread over several years.” Mrs. Seoane urged Palmisano to ob- tain an estimate from the District Commissioners or the Office of Public Buildings and Grounds, on the cost of principal features of the project. She pointed out the island is large, con- sisting of more than 80 acres, and will readily lend itself to playground pur- poses. ROBBERY ROUND-UP Victims of Hold-up Urged to pear at Line-up. 2 Threescore merchants and cab drivers who have been robbed by hold-up men in the last several weeks yesterday were urged to appear at a line-up of prisoners at the Detective Bureau Tuesday night. Lieut. John Fowler, chief of the rob- bery squad, said several men are being held on open charges pending the line-up on suspicion of having partici- pated in local hold-ups. The robbery squad is planning to round up several other suspicious characters over the week end, Fowler said. .

A move to transfer from the District | Court justices to the Commissioners authority to appoint members of the Board of Education was initiated yes- terday by a group of House members headed by Chairman Collins of the District Appropriations Subcommittee A bill providing for the change is expected to be introduced before ad- journment of the present session of Congress. The move is in line with Collins’ plan to centralize control of all mu- nicipal activities directly under the Commissioners. Blocked Shift in Funds. Collins does ot believe the justices of the courts should have any control over the public school system. no mat- ter how remote. and for this reason | he effectively blocked some months | 8g0 & plan designed to shift appro- | | priations for the courts from the Dis- ' | trict budget to the budget of the Jus- | tice Department. | o T will never agree to such a plan.” | he declared, “as long as justices of the court have authority to appoint mem- | bers of the School Board. I wiil, how- | ever, withdraw my opposition and support legislation for the change if | the justices are willing to gh‘e up that | | authority.” Collins said he cannot undersumd why the justices want to exert any | control over the public school system —a duty imposed on them by law, but | which has no relation to their judicial services on the bench. Control Now Divided. Control of the schools, Collins point- ed out, is now divided. The justices | appoint the School Board members, he explained. yet the Commissioners | control the school budget. |~ Collins revealed his first step to cen- | tralize control of all municipal activi- ties under the Commissior was taken when he framed the 1 ?R Dis- trict appropriation bill. He inserted in this measure, which is now law, a pro- vision transferring from thz Board of Public Welfare to the District auditor authority to audit and disburse all funds administered through the Ppublic assistance division of the Welfare Board. The auditor also was given control of all employes and records of the public assistance division. While it is regarded as too late in the present session of Congress to get any action on legislation to give the Commissioners authority to ap- point School Board members, Collins believes the groundwotk can be laid now and the change authorized early in the next session of Congress, thus paving the way for placing the appro- priations for the courts under the Justice Department in the 1939 supply bills. WATER MAIN BURSTS :Children Enjoy me;mptu Show- er at Fourth and Florida. Bursting of a water main at Fourth street and Florida avenue last night flooded a section of the street, inter- rupted traffic and drew a big crowd. Children of the neighborhood enjoyed an impromptu shower bath as they edged close to the miniature geyser. An emergency repair crew hurried to the scene, cut off the water above the break and pumped out the flooded ares. William A. Maxwell, Chicago transient, tried to speak from the gallery yesterday during the Senate wage-hour debate, shown in Qustody of Capitol Policeman F. M. Smith. Shouting from the gallery that he wanted to be heard, a 66-year-old Chi- | cago transient, shirt-sleeved and with & red bandana around his neck, stole the speech-making spotlight tempo- | rarily in the Senate vesterday while the wage-hour bill was being debated Still shouting while gyards dragged him out, the intruder, identified by | | police as William A. Maxwell, who has been stopping at the Gospel Mission, was turned over to first precinct po- lice Gallinger Hospital for mental obser- vation. Maxwell spoke in a calm voice when he first arose from his seat. a paper which he said he wanted to “pass up to the desk.” As gallery guards started to remove him, however, he shouted more loudly, causing Senators to look on, fascinated at his struggle. “I represent the unemployed, the poorly clothed and the poorly shel- tered,” Maxwell shouted. “I want Those Wisconsin Fish Are Savage— Or So They Claim By the Associated Press.

For instance, in Funchal, Madeira, “Avoid bad liquors.

They are “Note” and “Oaution.” Under “Note” you find that about the best thing about Durban, Natal, South Afries, is that it is in South enforced and a conviction of illicit re- lations with native women carries a | sentence of imprisonment for a period | not exceeding five years.

Additional Funds Help 12 More Children to Regain Health. The District Tuberculosis Associa- tion lacked only $59802 yvesterday of having enough money to fill pacity its health camp on Bald Eagle Hill, where 113 children now are fight- to ca- | ing thelr way back to health. The new $79.000 camp, constructed with W. P. A. funds, is equipped to | care for 125 children. It opened July | 6 with an enrollment of only 60 chil- dren, all that could be provided for | by the association’s limited funds from | the sale of Christmas seals. Newspaper descriptions of the plight of the youngsters left behind stimu- lated & flow of voluntary contribu- tions that had mounted yesterday to a total of $3,738.98 and enabled 53 more children to enter the camp. A balance of $1.98 remained toward care of the 114th child. Only $50 is required to finance the life-giving treatment for each child during the five weeks of the camp period re- maining after tomorrow. Fhus, $598.02 more in donations would make it pos- sible for 12 more children to go to | camp and put its facilities into full | use If the money comes in this week, Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, managing di- rector of the association, said, the 12 additional fortunate children will be selected from a waiting list of nearly 200 youngaters who are suffering from tuberculosis in the early stages which can be cured easily by the nourishing food, rest and medical care provided at the camp. But without this care, which at the same time breaks the dangerous contact with pulmongry cases of tuberculosis in the childre homes, they have little chance for a healthy life, Mrs. Grant said. Contributions of $109 reported yes- terday included $57 sent to The Star by generous readers and forwarded to the association’s headquarters at 1022 Eleventh street. 8,000 Caplml Dogs Without Licenses Face Pound Death Round-Up of All Animaks Lacking Tags Will Start Tomorrow. Canine pets of 8.000 District resi- dents face imprisonment—and pos- sible death—in the District Pound this week because their owners failed to obtain new license tags for them, Chatham Towers, collector of taxes, warned yesterday. In a last-minute rush to safe- guard their pets more than 1,000 persons thronged into the tax office yesterday to purchase the $2 license tags. Last year 20,000 dog tags were sold. These expired on July 1. Dog owners were given a month of grace to ob- tain new tags. Poundmaster Frank Marks has been instruoted to eapture all dogs found at large without the new tags starting tomorrow. Thus far only 12,000 of the new tags have beén sold. Shore Leave and the caution advised that Ameri- can ships rarely call there and sail- ors should not go ashore. The first printing of the little book, called “The Seamen's Handbook for Shore Leave,” was in 1919, and the most recent one is the sixth. Be- side the list of ports, it contains a glossary of common words and phrases in German, French, Italian and Span- ish, the monetary units of every for- eign country and their value in United States currency and radio call signals for emergency sickness at sea.

One bill. passed by the House, would require drivers to take out liability insurance. The bther. originating in the Senate, would limit the number of cabs. Taxi drivers have objected to one provision without the other. contend- ing they could not afford to pay for insurance premiums without the ad- ded revenue which would come from reducing the number of cabs. A num- ber of drivers sought to promote a protest strike, but were persuaded to wait until the legislation passed. Realty Bill Shelved. The committee also shelved. by re- ferring to a subcommittee, a House- approved bill to regulate real estate sales in the District. The measure !wnuld set up a Real Estate Commis- ing practices. admittedly cannot be held this ses- sion. A number of citizens asked the committee for an opportunity to be heard in opposition. The bill to legalize racing and per- mit paeri-mutuel betting was finally tabled for the session, with instruc- tions from Chairman King for a sub- committee, which he appointed, to study it and report back to the com- mittee next session. The subcommit- tee is headed by Senator Reynolds, Democrat of North Carolina, and in- Kansas, Democrat of Maryland Senator King promised to refer to another subcommittee, which he will appoint later, several proposed amend- ments to the District aleohol control regulations with instructions to pre- pare an omnibus bill for considera- tion next session. One of the pending bills would re- quire liquor salesmen from outside the District doing business here to purchase licenses, ranging in price from $100 to $500. Another measure would allow hard liquor to be served from bars at restaurants. The committee disappeared and then agreed to reconsider a bill to change the names of four streets running off the Mall from Washington, Jeffer- son, Adams and Maditon to Maine, Missouri, Oklahoma and Ohio. The matter will be disposed of later. Child Marriage Bill Approved. ‘The committee approved a bill rais- ing the age required at marriage from 14 to 16 for girls and from 16 to 18 for men. The House has passed this bill. Another House bill reported out re- quires semi-annual inspection of all motor vehicles in the District. Chairman King, however, expressed doubt that any of the District bills sent to the Senate now would get through the legislative jam which al- ways precedes adjournment. ‘The committee considered yester- day only bills which have passed the House, leaving a mass of other Dis- trict legislation to be taken up in the future, Book tion but less inclusive, was planned and written by Mrs. Howard during the World War for the recruiting service of the United States Ship- ping Board.

CHICAGO’S REGULATION IS EXAMINED BY SEAL Delano Sees Situation in Districy Similar to That of Western Packing Centers. When the Commissioners meet Tuesday to consider sewage problems brought up by Secretary Ickes in con- nection with the proposed Adolf Gobel slaughter house, it was indicated yes- terday they would inquire into tha question of charging industr sewage treatment at the new Plains plant on a volume basis In anticipation of being asked for a legal opinion on this question. Corp=- oration Counsel Elwood Seal was studying a certain Chicago sanitary district regulation which exacts pave ment from the large meat packers and other industrial users of the sewage treatment works. This course was adopted by the municipality in because of the tremendous overload on the sewage system from {ndustrial wastes. for s for Blue Copy of Regulation. A copy of this regulation, which probably will be taken up at the forthcoming board meeting, reads as follows: “The sanitary district, in addition to the other powers vested in it, is em- powered “(a) To regulate and control discharge of so-called factory or in trial wastes, either in solution or sus- pension, into the sewers or works of said sanitary district, whether said discharges are made direct works or sewers of said sa trict or indirectly through the <ewer svstems of a municipality or other | area lying within the boundaries of said district; “(b; To contract or industries prod | purpose of determ: | treatment which sa | dustries shal point of origin, and also pose of determining said industry or ind annually or otherwise for ment which may be by the works of said sanitary : “(c) To require any occupant of any industrial premises inside pr oute side of the boundaries of anv estab= lished municipality within the area of said sanitary district engaged in dis- charging factory or indust into any river, canal, ditc waterway within the boundaries said sanitary district to construct new sewage disposal plants and to so change or rebu or sewer as to |or industrial waste or trade wa |into the sewers of such municipali or into such infercepting sewers as may be established by said sanitary district under s regulati as said sanitary district may determine; “(d) To make. promulgate and ene force such reasonable rates and regue lations for the supervision, protection, management and use of any system of intercepting sewers and treatment works as it may deem expedient, and such regulations shall prescribe the manner in which connections to the main sewers or intercepting sewers shall be made and mayv prohibit dis- charge into said sewers of any liquid or solid waste deemed detrimental to the sewerage system or treatment works of said sanitary district.” “Small Chicago Problem.” | Chairman Frederic A. Delann of | the National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission is familiar with the Chicago ordinance. He claimed yes- terday that the District had a “small Chicago problem” on its hands in view of the proposed Gobel slaughter houge operations in Benning “The great packing houses in Chi- cago overloaded the sewage svstem to such an extent that the city was driven to take the matter into its own hands.” he said. “The problem presented by the Gobel plans is a smaller one, but it is identical to the conditions that existed in Chicagn The District of Columbia would dn well to take the proper precautions at this time.” Delano came here Frida, for the meeting of his commission and re- turned to his Summer home in New York State vesterday afternoon. While here he inquired fully into the devel- opments in the Gobel case. The Park and Planning Commission last Friday had voted to continue to oppose erec- tion of the slaughter house. No Construction Move. So far as was known. the Gobel headquarters in New York has made N0 new move to resume construction on the Benning site since its decision two weeks ago to “go ahead” with its building plans Meanwhile it developed that a new study of the plans filed by the Gobel company with the District building in- spector’s office are being studied by Frederick H. Walton, an expert in the Interior Department. Walton built the largest slaughter house in the world at Buenos Aires and is one of the best-known authorities on such construction work. At the former Senate hearing on the anti-nuisance bill, which even- tually was blocked for the remainder of the session, Walton said he did not think the slaughter house which Go- bel proposes here could be called a “model” plant, as claimed.
