CHARITY SEEKS

TO RID UORTHY OF LOAN SHARK Secretary Recommends Com mercial Club Take Up Revival of Morris Plan of Liberal Aid. FINDS MORE CASES Woman Who Borrows $15 Compelled to Pay About $20 to Company Negotiat ing Loan. A revival of the Morris bank and some other remedial loan company plan will be asked the Commercial club by Secretary Melpolder of the Central Charity bureau, who has con tinued bis investigations into the loan company business of Richmond. Some damaging evidence has been found which will be used to show the need of .a . loan company operated on a liberal . plan. This kind of a loan company was investigated by the club but the matter was dropped, when the financial stringency and the war came on. The charity bureau practically Is forced to resort .to some measures of relief from loan companies, Mr. Melpolder said. He has bad dealings with persons - who are being pressed by loan companies- and who will pay their Income to the company and de pend on the charity bureau to pay their living expenses. The latest case is a woman who borrowed $15. paid $11.49 and still owes a balance of $8.60, which will amount to $12 before it is paid. This woman received in cash from the loan company $11.70, Just twenty-one cents more than she has paid. "For ser vices rendered," at $3 and thirty cents for the first month's interest. resulted in the $15 principal being reduced to $11.70, before it was paid to the woman. "Of all the loan company cases I have before me," Mr. Melpolder said, "I know of only two or three of the intelligent men who know what they are paying for. The few women who have loans to ' pay, pay , absolutely without knowledge of the cause of the extra charges and are terror stricken at the approach of each payment day."

RECEIVED HERE LEAD TO PROBE Shipment for Asylum Cause Investigation When Produce Company Misses the Dates Required on Crates. FINDS GOODS SPOILED McKinley Reports Case to Bernard for Orders Eggs Came From Indianapolis ' Concern. v n "Whew!": - ; - That's what Marketmaster George McKinley said when he opened one of 210 dosen cold storage eggs which haa been shipped to the Richmond Produce company by the American Dairy company of Indianapolis, for delivery to the Eastern Indiana Insane hospital. Then the marketmaster pinched his nose tightly. The entire shipment of eggs has been seized by McKinley and the case reported to H. E. Barnard, chief of the state pure food and drag department. and today he was awaiting for Barn ard to instruct him as to the course' of action he should pursue. The shipment consisted of seven crates, thirty dozen eggs to the crate. I opened four eggs. Their yolks bad turned black and the whites had turned to water. They certainly did smell," said McKinley. Under the state law the date eggs are receive for storage and the date they are released from storage must be steenclled on the crates containing them. No dates of receipt nor release appeared on the crates the local produce company received for the insant hospital. It was for this reason that the eggs were seized by McKinley. The law also provides that no e?gs kept in storage longer than nine months can be offered for sale. "Credit is due the Richmond Produce company for promptly reporting to me the receipt of eggs, the quality of which was suspected," McKinley said today. "The local company has the contract fdr supplying the Eastern Insane hospital with eggs and It has been purchasing them - from the American Dairy company at Indianapolis. I have estimated that at least ten doaea eggs fat each of the seven crates are impure. I have reported the matter to Mr. Barnard and It is no 44Iw.eUUe.e Mb what action It desires. The state Is greatly interested In this case, for it appears to be a violation o the state pure food laws and the condemned eggs were consigned to a state institution."
