The measure, which now goes to the house, puts all these loan agencies under strict su­ pervision o f the state banking depart­ ment. L^ick of such supervision in the present law was its great weak, ness. Besides having to submit to su­ pervision and inspection by the bank­ ing department; the loan companies -first must obtain a license and pay a fee of |100 each. The bank superin tendent is given authority to revoke a. license. All loan agents are put under a $2,000 bond and injured per­ sons may sue the bondsmen as well as the loan companies. The maximum rate of interest that a loan company can collect under the Lloyd bill is 8 per cent a month. - The company also has a right to charge an investigation fee 'o f $2 when loans of under $50 are* eought. Severe penalties are provid­ ed for violation of the latv. By the enactment of the Lloyd bill, investigators of the Russell Sage foundation say the poor of Ohio will be saved more than $1,000,000 annual^ ly in -Illegal interest. McDermott's liquor license decen­ tralizing bill was .taken off the senate calendar and sent back to the tempei’- ance committee. Senator Howard, majority leader, stated merely that as the bill was in conference there Was no need of keeping it on the calen­ dar. The reference to the measure being in conference meant that the Republican caucus had the measure caucus has been so far unable to agree - upon the bill.', , Nonmedical Healers ■Recognized. ' Christian Science healers, chiroprac­ tors, practitioners of suggestive ther­ apy, optometrists, .chiropodists^ and other nonmedical healers will be ac­ corded recognition if. the legislature sustains the action of the house pub­ lic health committee. The committee voted to report, As substitute for Vari­ ous special .bills, an omnibus ,measure allowing all; these kinds of healers and: practitioners to be licensed by the state medical board, with the pro­ viso that none of them attempt to cure contagious or infectious dis­ eases. They must pass examinations. The Rslghard bill,'making appraisal o f public service corporations wholly optional with the state utilities com­ mission, was votpd a faVorable report by the house utilities committee. The Beitler tax bill conferees are not expected to make a report until next week, Democratic senators cau­ cused, and* decided to stand against any attempt to make this temporary defcentralfzcr an emergency measure. The Archer bill, which seeks to give the industrial commission authority ' to regulate hours o f work for both men and women, also to regulate working conditions, sanitation and the like, demanded by labor in a number o f separate bills now in the legisla­ ture, wag made a special, order for 3 o’clock Tuesday.

Attorneys for the objectors had tried to show that the bill did not secure the two-third? vote necessary to make it an emer­ gency measure. The judges held that inasmumch as the law had been in effect for the ninety-day period re­ quired to make It unquestionably ef­ fective, no question could be raised in this case about the emergency clause.

Washington, March 20,—Evidence that the United States Intends to use force if necessary to assure the ship­ ment of sisal from Yucatan, Mexico, was given in the announcement of the s e c r e c y of the navy that the battle ship Georgia, now stationed at Vera Cruz, has been ordered to Progreso, the' principal port of Yucatan. This government lias been advised that Carranza, is in complete control of Yucatan, and that recent develop- ments indicate a probability that un lesB the United States shows its teeth sisal fiber, so urgently needed for the manufacture 'of twine to bind this year's crops in this country, will not move northward, as promised by the Mexican authorities. The administra­ tion was-impelled to order the Geor­ gia to Progreso as a demonstration in earnest of its purpose to keep the port of Progreso open to international trade and to make certain the trans­ portation of sisal from the plantations and jobbing centers to that port. Imperative reasons of domestic and international concern have prompted the government to show firmness in .dealing with the situation In Yucatan, American farmers are making bitter Complaints over the prospect of ad­ vanced prices for binding twine due to the failure of shipments of fiber lrom Mexico. Canadian farmers are just as vitally concerned, More than two weeks ago Carranza lifted the embargo placed on interna­ tional trade at Progreso. That Car­ ranza is extending his sphere o f influ­ ence in Yucataii is indicated ta a dis­ patch received from Rear Admiral.

Honolulu, March 26,—The Ameri­ can submarine" F-4, which was sub­ merged two miles off Honolulu har­ bor and for which a search was con­ ducted when it failed to reappear sev­ eral hours later, was reported, located in 120 fathoms of water with its crew of twenty-five suffocated, it is feared. No signal hells had been heard from the submerged craft, and this fact led to fears that the submarine’s tanks had burst, suffocating the crew with sulphuric acid fumes. Most of the twenty-five men aboard the F-4' are married and have families, The F-4 was commanded by Lieutenant Alfred L. Ede.

This is the sub­ stance of a statement given out by the Carranza consulate from Its clriof, "The planters’ 100 per cent profits may bo reduced CO or 60 per cent, but the poor Mexican laborers,” Carranza cabled, "will be made free.” -Out your Sassafras, Boousfc and Hod Cedar jpoBts o f K err & Hast­ ings B fo * . <10 d ) Hog*—-Light, SB 5Q#6 7$; mixed, $5 «'<f 75; heavy,.

The Medea carried a cargo of oranges and was bound from Saloniki for London. Tlie Medea was stopped by the sub, marine and the crew were given fif­ teen minutes in which to leave the vessel. They did so, and the subma­ rine then fired several shots at the steamer, which remained afloat fpr an- hour. The crew rowed about in their boats uittil picked up by a destroyer, which brought them to Dover. , The trawler Alprecht was- attacked : by a submarine,. A torpedo".passed within ten feet of the fishing boat1 while she was crossing the channel. A British patrol boat chased the sub­ marine, which, however, disappeared. The admiralty, in reporting. th e : sinking of the Medea, says: "The ship was flying the Dutch flag and had a Dutch crew aboard. Her name, "Me­ dea, Amsterdam," was painted in large letters on her sides. The ship’s papers were taken by tbe Germans, who refused to return them." German Submarine Sunk? The British admiralty Stated that they believed the German submarine U-29, which recently sank five steam­ ers in the English channel and dam­ aged three other vessels, had been sunk with all hands. The submarine U-29 displaced 80p tons and was one of the largest and faatest*of the Ger­ man undersea boats.
