THE WASHING-TON TIMES, TTJESDAT, NOVEMBER 27, 18!)4.
REMEDY AGAINST FRAUDS
Government Inspection of Local
Building and Loan Associations.
HONEST COMPANIES FAVOR IT
Dishonest Corporations Would Suspend
Operations if Thoroughly Investigated
Expressions of Opinion by Well-known
Officials Safeguards Are Heeded.
"Honest companies would not fear an offl
clal government inspector; but disbonost ones
would not only stand in dread of such an
officer, but would, probably, suspend opera
tions if thoroughly investigated. Prom both
of those points of view I regard an inspection
not only as a necessity, in the light of busi
nols requirements, but also as a public bone
factor. "What more oould you -want than that
a place should bo created and filled by a man
wtoo rrould be a necessity and a benefactor?"
These expressions of opinion were in reply
to the question by a Times' reporter yester
day to a building and loan association man
whether it would be desirable for Congress to
provide for the District an inspector with
power to inspect and examine the books of
building associations and similar corporations
doing business In this city, on the principle of
the examination and inspection of national
bunks.
It is well known that bore, as in all other
cities, outside corporations, who are not
obliged to take out charters in the places
where they 60 business except at the home
office, have agencies take the name of
building and loan associations. Some
of these are bona fide concerns, while
others are shams. The local building
sod loan associations, the co-operative
coneeras, which are vouched for by the
reputation of those at the head of the affairs.
regard the foreicn element as a just ground
for criticism and have, in fact, criticised
them severely.
The romody against the perpetration of
each frauds upon the public, in the opinion of
representative building and loan men, lies in
the passage of a law by Congress creating an
iBspootor for the District and containing such
provisions as will put the whole business,
local and foreign, on the same safe basis.
Mr. John Joy Edson, secretary of the Co
operative Saving and Loan Association, said
yesterday, speaking on thi6 subject:
"There is no doubt that it would be a good
thing if a building association law were
pfesed by Congress which would provide for
a regular sworn statement to be returned to
a proper authority, and examinations made
similar to what is required in the national
bask law. I have always been in favor of it,
nnd would long since have prepared a bill to
be introduced in Congress if I had believed
there was a chance of securing its passage.
"The difficulty in obtaining such a meas
ure would be that we have no representative
in Congress and the' apprehension that we
wouldn't be able to secure as good a bill as
tfeey have passed in other States. Massachu
setts. Xew York. Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
other States have such laws under which the
associations are chartered, and are subject to
Government supervision. I don't think there
can be any question about the desirability of
similar laws in the District of Columbia."
Mr. J. W. Whelply, president of the East
ern Building and Loan Association, said:
"Yes, I am in 'favor of the legislation you
refer to, and the more safeguards you can
get in such matters the better I would like it.
If the inspector shall be thorough in lus
work, and especially in the examination of
the affairs of a company. I would say it would
oe a good thine. Several States nave such
laws, and I believe they operate beneficially
to all concerned.
"My idea, however. Is that it would be bet
ter to have the corporations in the District of
Columbia placed under the supervision of the
Comptroller of the Currency, as the District
of Columbia is under the general government.
I am decidedly in favor of an inspector and
make my suggestions merely as a suggestion
and as one whereby the same object might ba
attained as by an inspector."
Mr. John Cook, secretary of the Perpetual
Building and Loan Association, while favor
ing the genaral proposition, said:
"To eeeure all that is desirable there is
something more than aa examination re
quired. The mere fact that an inspector says
that the accounts of a company are correct
does not secure all that is required. Accounts
may be kept correctly and yet not be what the
stockholders would approve. "What is required
is to see that the money of these associations
is properly applied. There should be. a
stringent law as to the expenditures which
associations are permitted to make, a limita
tion to the disposition of money that affects
the stockholders.
"But, as I said, there should be a govern
ment officer to inspect all accounts onee a
month. And I would be in favor of a iro
vision in the law that if an inspector discov
ered that a scheme was not a sound one he
should have the right to suspend its opera
tions. Every association, I think, whether
local or foreign, should so conduct its busi
ness as that it should be ready for the most
rigid inspection."

THE ELKS CAUGHT THE TOWN
It Was a "Temocrancc" Villaqe, Too.
but They Made Big Profit
NATIONAL THEATER CROWDED
Annual Benefit Was, as Usual, a Gala Occa
sion "The Now South" Pleased at Al-bUh'ar-'Tho
Passing Show" "Was Wit
nessed by 2r. Lederer and His Bride.
The Elks bought J'A Temperance Town"
and, having sold it out by the squaro foot nb
the New National Inst night, realized n hand
some profit on their investment in drnmatlo
real estate. The order selected "A Temper
ance Town" for their annual benefit, and
made of its opening night for the season a
distinctly dramatic and social success. The
house was crowded by the Elks, their friends,
and tho mutual friends of the play and the
order.
Tho boxes woro occupied Dy the dignitaries
and thoir lady friends and everywhere in the
audience the Elk, in full evening dress, with
the insignia of his order, was a conspicuous
feature.
Among tho officers In attendanco were
George A. Mason, exalted ruler: 0. B. Robin-
son, esteemed leading knight; John P. Brady,
esteemed loyal knight; Isaac Sharp, esteemed
lecturing knight; R. A. O'Brien, secretary; M.
Dyronforth, treasurer; William Williams,
tiler; Jaoob Heid. esquire; A. H. Hunt, junior
guard, and Dr. L. L. Frederick, chairman ex
ecutive committee.
The reception committee was composed of
forty-four members, of whom noted In the au
dience were Messrs. Frank P. Hull. George T.
Keen. A. Y. Lakeuan. J. William Lee, Frank
B. Clarkson, Joseph E. Rawlings, J. D.
Burns, John F. Bra'dv, Charles S. Cooines, B.
C. Fenwick, W. F. Gudo, S. H. Caldwell,
George T. Budd, J. R. Gullen, John L. Burk
art, T. A. Cannon, A. Rodier, G. G. C. Esher,
J. A. Buppert. and others.
The performance was quite up to the stand
ard under the management of Frank McKee,
and went off at a roaring pneo from tho start
to the finish. L. R. Stockwell as Mink, Lee
Harrison as Mirgo, George Ober as Uncle Joe
Vial and Mane Mart as Mary Jane Jones
maintain the humor of their "familiar odes,
Canfleid and Richards are no longer in tho
cast, but the play runs along quite merrily all
the same.
Canary & Lederer's "Passing Show" began
Its return engagement at tho Academy last
night. From the size of tho audience, tho
burlesque suffers little from having been
played hero somo months ago at Aibaugh's.
Tho piece is substantially tho same as be
fore. Verona Jarbeau has joined tho com
pany and does a very clever "Cleopatra"
larce with Charles Ross. John E. Henshaw
has a few new gags, with emphasis on tho
"few," and one or two new songs aro
sprinkled in. Lucy Daly and a bana of picc
aninnies were greeted hilariously and re
sjonded to several encores. Jessie Carlisle,
unless she was Indisposed last night, is a very
much over-advertised feature. The chorus
girls and tho dancing were excellent. The
costuming of the ladies is as risque as over.
Mr. Lederer and his pretty bride, with
whom he eloped a few davs ago, occupl cd a
stage box. The lady is a sister-in-law of Mr.
Seager, private secretary to Secretary La
mont. A large audience, containing a number of
believers in spiritualism and Himalayan
Mahatmas,witnessod tho performance of Prof,
fiamri and Mrs. Kitty Baldwin, advertised as
White Mahatmas, atMetzerott Hall last night.
The first trick was one Introducing
"somatic Indigitation and asoinetous sejunc
tion, or, in plain English, tho exposure of
the cabinet trick. It was well done A mind
reading exhibition by the professor's wife fol
lowed and was a novelty in its way. Other
features of the programme were Miss Kato
Russell, in quaint mimicry; and an amusing
comodietta, "A Pair of Plotters;" Senor
Manuel Lopez's fine performance on tho ban
durriaor eight-striLged mandolin, concluding
with Mrs. Baldwin's intuitive intimations and
dream descriptions. Prof. Baldwin will
amuse the public every night this week and
at a Thanksgiving matinee.
If the well filled and delighted house at Ai
baugh's last night may be taken as an augury
of tho success of "The New South" for tne
week the management should have every rea
son to be highly gratified. Tho interest in
this sterling play was in fact measured by tho
size of the house and its enthusiastic recep
tion. 1
The story is one that is quite familiar to all
theater-goers, and tho playwright has used to
great advantage the line points which grew
cut of the chnnging relations between tho old
and new regimes in tho South. The cast,
although there aro somo changes from that
which first presented tho play here, performed
"The New South" last night with marked
abiiity.
The strong characters, Joseph Grismer, as
Capt. Ford, Phcrbe Dayies as Georgia
Gwinne. Scott Cooper as" Gon. Gwinue,
Charles Vining as Dr. Lincoln, and Bebe Vin
ing as Kate and Bessio Fessenden. were ad
mirably presented. As intimated, "The New
South" will draw well during tho week.
"The Span of Life" opened last night at
Butler's Bijou to standing-room onl a most
deserved condition, for it is bv far the finest
attraction presented at tho popular resort this
season. From beginning to end tho play is
replete with most thrilling climaxes and dra
matic action, and in tlm fln'rri t Un ..c
of Life, or bridge of human bodies formed
by threo men across a yawning chasm, over
which the heroine crosses with her child in
safety, is, undoubtedly, tho most novel fea
ture recently attempted. Tho cast is excellent
in every instance. In "Tho Span of Life"
Manager Butler has an attraction which
should continue to All his house.
At Kernan's Lyceum Theater last evening
Fred Waldman's Specialty Company began a
return engagement of one week. An enioy
able programme was presented, including" the
novel military comedy skit of the Olvmpia
Quartet. Of course the star attraction of
tho combination is C. A. Sampson, tho strong
man. Ho gave an interesting exhibition of his
strength concluding with sustaining tho
weight of nino men on a seesaw board and
his Ferns wheel act. In tho latter perform
ance what was represented as over 2 000
pounds of lead in addition to tho wheel were
sustained. Tho same entertainment will be
given every evening this week and usual
matinees to-day, Thursday and Saturday
A committee of pastors was appointed to
assist Mr. Robinson in forwarding his candi
dacy. Tho committee included tho Rev W
A. Croditt, of tho Berean Baptist Church-' tho
Rev. Walter Brooks, of-tho Nineteenth Street
Baptist Church; tho Rev. Robert Johnson M
D., of the Metropolitan Baptist Church-'the
Rev. It H. Porter, of Alexandria, and tho
Rev. L V. Bryant, of tho Walker Memorial
Baptist Church.
WEDDED A MIGHTY RDLER
Marriage of Czar Nicholas and Princess
Alix of Hesse.
THE REJOICING OF THE PEOPLE
Gorgeous Pagoants Along the Streets Im
posing Ceremony in the Wintor Palace
Kissing the Imago of Oar Lady of Kazan
at the Cathoral Clomoncios of tho Czar.
St.. Petehsbtoo, Nov. 2C Nicholn3 EC,
Czar of Russia, was wedded to-day to Princess
Alix. of Hesse-Darmstadt. Tho ceremony
took placo at 1:30 in the groat chapol of tho
Winter Palaco, and tho evont was announcod
to tho people by tho booming guns of tho
fortress. Among those who witnossed it
were: Tho King of Denmark, tho Prlnco and
PrInoes3 of Wale3, Princess Irene, of Russia,
and a number of lessor lights. Immense
crowds lined the streets along which tho gor
geous wedding pageant had to pns3, and
manifested great enthusiasm, cheering tho
Czar again and again.
Tho bride's train was born by Ave officials,
two walking on either side, while tho grand
cbnmberlain held them. Tho Czar woro tho
uniform of tho famous Red Hussars of tho
Guard, with a dolman suspended from the
right shoulder.
The Prince of Wales and tho Duko of Saxo
Coburg and Gotha wore Russian uniforms,
while tho Duke of York wore a naval uni
form. All tho royal princes wore tho cordon
of tho Order of St. Andrews.
In tho center of the chapel of tho Winter
Palnco stood a holy tablo on which had been
placed tho gospel and a cross. Botwoon tho
tablo and the altar were multi-brnnchtsd can
delabra with lighted tapers. Behind tho ta
blo, lacing tho altar, stood tho Proto-presby-ter
Yanischeff, attired in gorgeous vestmonts
of cloth of gold. CI030 behind the bridal
pair the imperial and royal spectators formod
in a seml-circlo.
Tho ceremony was concluded a fow minutes
before 2 o'clock. Tho Czar and his bride
then approached the Dowager Czarina to
greot and thank her. She embraced her son
and his wife, after which they were embraced
and kissed by tho King of Denmnrk and their
other relatives. Everybody was much moved,
and the bride was in tears. Tho Czar was
very pnle and was visibly affected.
On their way from tho Winter Palace to tho
Anitchkoff Palace tho imperial carriage
stopped before the Cathedral of Kazan in
order to allow tho newly married pair to in
voke tho blessing of tho Almighthy. The Czar
and Czarina were received ia the porch by tho
metropolitan of St. Petersburg nnd tho high
clergy bearing the cross and holy water.
A "Te Deum" was celebrated inside tho
cathedral, tho Metropolitan officiating and
praying tho Almighty to bless tno Czar and
Czarina and to guide them in their paths of
duty.
Whan tho Czar reappeared on tho cathedral
steps after tho religious ceremonies within
and kissed tho miraculous imago of Our Lady
of Kazan the enthusiasm of the people was
beyond an description. Tho brilliancy of tho
spectacle at this moment was enhanced by a
sudden burst of sunshine from the clouds
which had hitherto darkened tho city. Tho
appearance of the golden rays was regarded
as a good augury by tho immense crowds of
spectators present, who cheered themselves
hoarse as tho Czar and Czarina re-entered
theircarriago and returned to tho Anitchkoff
Palace.
When tho newly wedded pair arrived at tho
Anitchkoff Palace, they wore received and
welcomed by tho Dowager Czarina, who. as
above stated, had preceded them for this pur
pose. Later tho Czar and Czarina, accompanied
by Grand Duchess Olga, youngest sister of
the Czar, appeared tit a window of the palaco
overlooking the Newski Prospect. Hero thoy
stood for llfteen minutes, bowing repeatedly
in response to tho acclamations of tho multi
tude gathered outside tho palace. Grand
Duchess Olga, witn girlish enthusiasm, re
peatedly kissed her hand to the crowd. Tho
Czarina, leaning on the arm of her husban.l,
smiled radiantly on tho throng. There were
soTernl similar demonstrations, tbough of
shorter duration, during the next hour.
The Czar's manifesto, mentioned in theso
dispatches last night, was Issued to-night.
His majesty, in honor of his marriage, remits
various debts to tho crown. Including tho re
payment of the grants made to peasants on
account of tho famines. Ho nlso wholly re

police supervision, and deportation at hard
labor. Tho prosecution of offenders who
havo remnined undiscovered for fifteen years
will be abandoned.
The indulgencie3 to political prisoners will
be decided upon after a rep rt has been sub
mitted to the Czar by the minister of tho inte
rior. Amnesty is granted to tho participants
in tho Polish rebellion of 1863, and thoy will
be permitted to reside anywhere in Russia.
Their civil rights, but not their property, will
be restored to them.

"GOD BLESS YOU; GO ONI"
Message of Rev. W. C. Alexander to Gen.
Booth.
Rev. W. C. Alexander, pastor of tho West
Street Presbyterian Church, discussed Gen.
Booth and tho Salvation Army at the semi
monthly meeting of tho Presbyterian min
isters of tho District yesterday morning.
While giving duo wolght to tho personal
power of Gon..Booth and tho work of his or
ganization, the speaker took highor ground
and discussod the movoment as a factor in
reaching tho lower strata of society. Ho
would not deal with those phases of tho
movement which, to tho highest grades of in
telligence, aro open to critcism, but would ac
cept as a logical fact that the army was
grappling with ono of tho greatest problems
of the ago.
Gen. Booth was dealing, he said, princi
pally with throo clnsses of tlio vicious, tho
drunkard, tho fallen, and the folon, and it
wa3 a fair question what was tho church
with all its machinery doing for the redemp
tion of theso classes' What does tho church
do hero In Washington or elsewhoro for crim
inals who serve their sentences and aro re
leased? Ho fully Indorsed tho idea of Gen. Booth
that the best stop toward reformation was to
furnish tho criminals and vicious with some
thing to do, for he had seen tho substantial
results of that theory at tho People's Palaco
m London. Ho expressed tho opinion that
Gon. Booth orrod when he apparently as
sumed that all the good woik among tho
criminal classes was dono by tho army, and
took no account of that dono by other agen
cies. Roviowing tho array as a whole, howovor,
he thought it was entitled to cordial support
for what it had done and what It is doing.
"To any agency, which, in tho love of Christ,
goes to tho fallen of tho earth and lifts thorn
up and establishes about 75 per cent, of them
in virtuo and truo Hfo, I can only say God
bless you, go on in your work."
