METHODS DECLARED USURIOUS Sharks Have a New Scheme--File Judgments Against Local Victims in Upstate Counties, These are hard days for the loan sharks. according to a number of Brooki, uttes who have Just escaped from clutches. One of the clever dodges of the lendlog companies has just been dudovered by Attorney William H. ut 26 Court street 10 obtaining the setting aside of five judgments entered by loan company in Sullivan County against five Brooklynites. What 1s described as being one of the "rawest" methods of the loan sharks 's operated as follows: A man in Need money goes to the loan company aud cures $50.

The borrower is required to sign four notes for $15 each, and also a blank confession of judgment. Although the legal rate of interest is only 6 per cent. a year, this is charging interest at the rate of 16 2-3 per cent, for only a few months. It the borrower pays the notes, he 1g released from his obligation to the lending company, but if he defaults in a single payment, even the last, the company fills in his signed blank confession of judgment and enters it in some up-State county. There are two reasons why judgment is not entered in Brooklyn.

or New York: First, because when it is 80 far away it is much harder for the borrower ever to do anything about it, and second. because in some of the upState counties $15 costs can be added on to the judgmenc. while in the Courts of Kings and New York Counties, no costs can be recovered in an action for less than $500. Having entered the judgment, the company files it in- proceeds to "garnishee" the man's salary. Twenty-one Brooklynites Complain of Loan Sharks' Tactics.

This method had been practiced in the of twenty-one who complained within a single week to Attorney O'Hare. In. all of the cases the lending company was the same. The entries of judgment were made in various counties, Clinton, Elmira, Sullivan and Greene presumably -for the purpose of preventing any attorney who might get after them from recovering a large number of verdicts in a lump. Five of the cases were in Sullivan County.

Yesterday Attorney O'Hare went there to have the judgment set aside. Two previous attempts by lawyers had made to have them vacated, one in been Brooklyn before Justice Putnam and one in Albany before Justice Chester. tice Putnam had refused to do anything In the matter, on the ground that he did not have jurisdiction, and Justice Chester 011 the ground that the papers for the application were improperly drawn. In the cases of all five borrowers some of the notes had been paid, and in most of them all notes but the last one. Nevertheless the company had taken judgment In each case for the full $60, plus 315 costs and $3 disbursements.

Lawyer O'Hare submitted the facts to Supreme Court Justice Hasbrook, sitting in Kingston, and although the attorney for. the loan company fought hard, the justice took the side of the borrowers and set aside the judgments. The loan was declared usurious and, therefore, void. The men are now free of the debt. MARRIAGE LICENSES Issued during the 24 hours ending at 10 A.M.

one of the youngest recruits at the aviation school on the Hempstead plains, today started out for a round trip to Central Park, Manhattan, and back to Hempstead. He got as far as the East River, when his engine began to 0188 fire 90 badly that he did not want to risk a fall on the tall buildings of Manhattan, and lauded instead on Blackwell's Island. Hild got his pilot's license only two weeks ago, and this was his first trip on his own responsibility. He first circled the' aviation field several times to test his machine, and then, rising to a height of about 2,000 feet. sailed away over Mineola, Roslyn, Great Neck, Whitestone, Flushing and Long Island City.

The defect in the engine which caused him to volplane down over the unoccupied portion of Blackwell's Island, was blamed on a defective oil feed. As soon as he landed safely Hild telephoned back to Hempstead, for aid, and two mechanICS were sent out to repair the machine. It is Hild's intention to continue his flight late this afternoon.

FISK MAY SUCCEED McAD00 Vice President of Hudson and Manhattan Co. Will Probably Be Advanced. OTHERS MENTIONED FOR PLACE W. G. Oakman and Pliny Fisk Spoken Of as Possibilities, but Are Unlikely Candidates.

Wilbur C. Fisk, now first vice president of the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad, Is slated today by the forces at present In control of the system, to succeed Wil11am G. MeAdoo as president, Mr. Fisk will be the nest presideut unleas the road is thoroughly overhauled and reorganized by Kuhn, Loeb the financial house now taking the lead in the financial readjustment plan of the Hudson and Manhattan, It can be said definitely that this 1s not expected; that the plan being worked out will put the company on its feet, and that no cataclysm is expected. Nevertheless, an carthquake is said in Wall Street to be one of the possibilities.

The names of Walter G. Oakman, presldent of the Hudson Companies, and Pliny Fisk, of Harvey Fisk and Sons, Are being used today, but men who are well informed say that neither of these men would consider the position. Pliny Fist is a fivancier and as the sentor member of Harvey Fisk Sons has all be can handle. Mr. Oakman is also a financter.

Wilbur C. Fisk, 011 the other band. while also a member of the Harvey Wish firm, has been in charge of the operation of the Hudson and Manhattan Road tor soine years, and is a practical railroad man. When Mr. MeAdoo tenders his resignation, he will do as soon as he is confirmed at Washington, Mr.

Fisk will become the acting president. There will be a meeting of the dircetors of the Hudson and Manbattan 011 Thursday of this week. The best informed opinion is that nothing will be done at this meeting and that the wohle mater may lie over until the annual stockholders meeting 01 April 9. Following that meeting it is expected that Mr. Fisk will become the real head of the road.

The factor of uncertainty in the situation is Kubn, Loeb Co. and Anthony N. Brady. Mr. Brady is a director of the Hudson and Manhattan Company, and.

although only a nominal stockholder, is powerful because of his wide transit operations. It is through his influence that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit expects to be able to make a traffic and transfer arrangement with the Hudson tubes, at -third street, Manhattan, when the Brooklyn Rapid Transit's Broadway subway is finished. There is a rumor that Mr. Brady is looking closely into the Hudson and Manhattan properties, and some talk that he may try to absorb the property. But today the forces now actually in control of the road deny that any such plan is under way.

It was stated categorically this afternoon that Mr. Brady has not increased his holdings in the Hudson and Manhattan, and it was further said he had no idea of Going any such thing. The Pennsylvania Railroad is one of the dominant influences In the Hudson and Manhattan. REBELS NOW FAVOR HUERTA. Zapata and Orozco Forces Want to Join Mexican Army.

Mexico City, March 4-A general inclination to recognize General Huerta's administration has been manifested the rebel followers of Zapata and Orozeo and those engaged in minor insurrections in all parts of the repr who ask that their men be incorporated in the regular army or mustered out, paid off and sent to their homes. Many of the rebels, however, display sensitiveness in regard to the Amnesty Bill to be discussed by the Chamber tomorrow, which they say wrongly implies their defeat. Rumors of plots and conspiracies are frequent in the capital, where everybody continues to suspect his neighbor. Secret service men keep constant watch over the most prominent suspects. A force of rebels nas occupied the town of Yecapixtla, a place of considerable importance near Cuautla, in the State of Morelos.

In consequence of this the War Department announces its intention of dispatching a punitive expedition into the Southern rebel zone. MRS. BISHOP SUES BATTLE. Demands $50,000 Damages From Lawyer for Alleged Libel. A summons was filed in the County Clerk's office in Manhattan, by Louis F.

Posner, counsel for Mrs. Abagail H. Bishop in a suit that she has brought against George Gordon Battle to recover $50,000 for alleged libel.

Gwathmey, whose counsel he is. Mrs. Gwathmey is named as the corespondent by Mrs. Bishop, in the suit she has instituted for a divorce from James Cunningham Bishop, the banker. Recently, Mrs.

Bishop was allowed $20,000 a year alimony by Justice Hendrick of the Supreme Court, pending the trial of the action. CAR HITS PATROL WAGON. Patrolman Edward C. Stanton Hurt in Collision. Patrolman Edward C.
