Real Life Parade Seen by Home Loan Workers

Humor and Grim Tragedy Team in Office of Corporation. BY GILBERT LOVE Time* Special Writer PITTSBURGH. Sept. 21—Six men sit behind -a long counter in a Fourth avenue office while life in all its phases stalks before them. They have no need of books or plays to bring them melodrama, humor, pathos, despair. All are before them constantly In the anxious-eyed crowds that have filled the office since the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation first opened its doors to harassed property holders here six weeks ago. Humor? Listen to the militantlooking woman talking to an official. “You're here to relieve home owners, aren't you? Well, there’s been a dead skunk in my cistern for weeks, simply weeks. I can’t get it out. If you can't redommend some one who can take that skunk out of that well you'll have to come out to my place yourself. If a dead skunk in a well isn’t a cause for relief, I don’t know what is.” Sweetened Diplomacy And there's a man who has tried every logical argument to induce the woman who holds his mortgage to exchange it for bonds of the loan corporation. Now he’s going to try taking her a box of candy. Pathos? Look at the small boy over there displaying a letter he received from the White House. He had written about his father, who loaned all his money to a man on a mortgage and now has to keep his family in a cellar because he can’t collect. The corporation will see what it can do. Melodrama? Listen to this dialog between a mortgage holder and a little, foreign-locking home owner. Mortgage Holder: “I'd be a fool to trade my mortgage for these bonds. That's a good property. Better than the one I'm living in. I'm going to foreclose and move into it.” Home Owner (aside): “I’ll kill him if he does.” Old Couple Loses All Despair? There’s a very old couple, the man emaciated and scarcely able to walk, telling the sympathetic man behind the counter that they're about to lose the last thing they have in the world, their dilapidated home. Nothing can be done for them since the mortgage on the house calls for more money than the place could possibly be worth. Tragedy? Over near the door, with a handkerchief to her eyes, is a woman who didn’t even know her home had been sold by the sheriff. It was willed to her. She did not understand terms of the mortgage and can not yet see how it could have been sold. Villainy? A be-moustached Italian is explaining in broken English, with his student son supplying words here and there, how he paid his mortgage holder $1,500 over a period of years and was only credited with SSOO. The clerk is trying to determine whether the old fellow was really cheated or is merely confused. Arrogance? In strides a man who slaps dow'n the deed to his house and demands $1,500 “at once.” One Woman’s Problem Difficulties? A huge square-faced woman is explaining to the clerk that she'll have trouble getting the application for a loan filled out because she doesn’t know any one who can write. Then, for a change, look at some joy. There goes a man who had come in the door burdened with worry. His mortgage payments were long overdue, his roof was leaking, his furnace needed mending for winter and the city was pressing him for back taxes. He has just found out that the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation will pay the holder of his mortgage in bonds and that he need not pay the corporation anything until he gets on his feet, even if that takes three years. The corporation will hire a contractor to fix the roof and another to mend the furnace and pay the city the back taxes. UTILITY RATE CUTTO AID AURORA PATRONS Agreed Reduction in Cost Affected After Board Parley. Agreed water, light and gas rate reductions for the city of Aurora, which will mean an annual saving of $12,000 for consumers, was reported Wednesday by Sherman Minton, public counselor. Minton and Perry McCart, public service commission chairman, visited Aurora and obtained agreement for the reduction in conference with officials of the town and of the Public Service Company of Indiana, operating the three utilities. BOY, 3, HURT BY AUTO Leg Fracture Incurred by Ralph Taylor, Struck by Car Wednesday. Ralph Taylor. 3. of 333 South Keystone avenue, suffered a fractured leg and injuries to his head when he was struck by an automobile driven by I. J. McCloskev, 1109 North Oxford street. Wednesday, in the 600 block North Oxford street. Police said the boy ran directly into the car s path.

GANG MENACES GOVERNOR'S KIN Kansas Executive’s Child Marked for Kidnaping by Bailey and Pals. By United Press TOPEKA. Kan., Sept. 21.—Governor Alf M. Landon today revealed a plot to kidnap his pretty, 16-year-old daughter Peggy Ann. The Governor said he had received reliable information that members of the Bailey-Underhill gang of southwestern desperadoes had planned to abduct the girl in an effort to release several life termers in the Kansas penitentiary. Harvey Bailey now is on trial at Oklahoma City in connection with the kidnaping of Charles Urschel, oil millionaire. Wilbur Underhill, with Bailey and nine other convicts, escaped from the Kansas prison last Memorial day. The Governor said he had been informed of the plot by an Oklahoma peace officer, who in turn got his information from a former convict. Peggy Ann was to have been kidnaped from the executive mansion here, and held until the Governor issued ten-day paroles to six convicts, Landon said.
