COMPLETE DENIAL MADE BY FORBES 1. WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON (1. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.—Colonel Charles R. Forbes, former director of the U. S. Veteran's Bureau, today issued a statement in denial of charges of corruption and bribery brought against him during the senatorial investigation of his administration. Appelling to the public to withhold judgment until he is able to present his defense, Colonel Forbes branded as utterly and absolutely false every speculative charge of corruption made against him by Elias H. Mortimer of Philadelphia, in testifying before a senate committee investigating the veteran's bureau. Speaking from a sick chamber, Forbes issued his statement to the International News Service. It was the first word from the accused official since Mortimer created a sensation at the senate hearing by charges that Forbes had entered a "ring" to share profits on the construction of government hospitals and had accepted a $5,000 "loan." The former director's statement follows: "I do not feel that I ought to make any statement in advance of the full and complete testimony which I shall give under oath on the witness stand. "I, however, at the insistent urging of my friends and acquirers from the press, cannot refrain from saying that every charge and every word of testimony, especially that of Elias H. Mortimer, reflecting on my personal and official integrity are utterly and absolutely false and without the slightest foundation. "The story of the receipt by me of a $5,000 bribe was not only false but so absurd as to be ridiculous. The only thing I ask of the public is to withhold judgment until my witnesses and I are heard, the full documentary evidence produced. Another case of adding insult to injury is for the wife of a bald-headed man to bob her hair."—Indianapolis Star. LA HABRA LA HABRA, Oct. 26.

Romero, of Coronado Heights, had the misfortune, last Saturday, of straining his back while at his work. Cecilia, the 12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morille of the Bixby ranch, who has been confined to her bed with an obscure and baffling malady, continues in the same condition. The five-year-old daughter of L. Sopulveda that was very ill through shock, has about regained her normal health. The little ones condition was brought about through her seeing a pet dog of hers run over and killed by a passing auto on the Peralta boulevard. Mr. Vincent A. Velasco, who has so satisfactorily been assisting at the Wright filling station for the past four months has ceased working at that place, as Mr. Wright sold out the business to Mr. O. I. Holland of Riverside. Mr. Velasco has gone for a few days visit to relatives in Los Angeles. SIMPLE MATTER TO AVIATE 1200 MILES SAN DIEGO Oct. 26.-"All we had to do was to keep her pointed south"" said Captain Lowell Smith today who, with his pilot mate, Lieutenant John Paul Richter, yesterday made a three flag, non-stop flight from British Columbia to Lower California, a distance of 1280 miles in 12 hours and 13 minutes. "The refuelling teams at Eugene and Sacramento gave us perfect service," Captain Smith continued."Our liberty motor functioned evenly, the weather was ideal and nothing occurred to mar the trip." This was the laconic way in which the birdman described the world's first cross country flight on fuel taken aboard in mid-air. There was talk at Rockwell field this morning of staging a non-stop flight across the United States at its greatest breadth—from Cape Flattery, Wash., to Portland, Maine, with three aerial refuelling enroute. The consent of General Patrick, head of the army air service at Washington, would have to be obtained for such a flight; it was said. Army officers here expressed the belief that adoption of the new refuelling system by the postoffice department to expedite the transcontinental mails was only a matter of a few months By using light, speedy planes, it was pointed out, the schedule of the San Francisco-New York mails could be cut to something less than 20 hours with the non-stop serial refueling.

Q. R. STORE CONTINUE SEARCH FOR BROKER'S BODY SAN DIEGO, Oct. 26.—Despite the failure of the expedition to Ensnade, Mexico, to develop new clews search for the body of George E. Schick, missing reality broker was continued unabated here today by the combined forces of deputy sheriffs, department of justice agents and Burns detectives. It was admitted by Sheriff Byers today that the authorities had looked upon the Lower California claw as their "best bet" to find the body and establish a corpus delecti, without which District Attorney Kempley has declared he cannot charge any suspect with the murder of the strangely missing man, however conclusive the circumstantial evidence may be. The law officers pointed out, how ever, that the fruitless excavations where a witness declared he had seen E. Drew Clark digging in the desert shortly after Schick dropped from sight merely ends one phase of the case. Clark is held in jail on a forgery charge. Their activities the past few days, they say, have been concentrated along lines suggested by the signed confession of forgery of Sarah Margaret Schick, wife of the missing man, and no effort has been made to grill Clark or his divorced wife, Etta Mine Clark. An intensive cross examination of the Clark couple may be the next step. It was planned to spend today compiling and arranging data already gathered on the case with the prospect that at least one of the Clarks may be questioned later in the day.
