WAR VETERANS' BUREAU The hospital at Northampton, Mass., for shell shocked victims. It is 135 miles from Boston and a ready supply of specialists needed in the work of rehabilitation. Insect land Col. Charles R. Forbes. More startling evidence of useless expenditures and waste in the Veterans' Bureau during the regime of Col. Charles R. Forbes is expected as the hearings of the special senate committee investigating the bureau progress. Contracts awarded for purchases of land for hospitals and the handling of contracts to "preferred contractors" have already come under the fire of the committee, through Brig. Gen. O'Brien, its counsel. Above is one of the hospitals introduced as an exhibit in the probe. The site at Northampton, Mass., was selected despite the fact that it is 135 miles from Boston and the large number of specialists that would have been easily available to aid the many shell-shocked victims quartered in the buildings had a more convenient selection. The outlay involved in this project is $9,500,000. PRES. WOULD NOT O. K. CLAIM By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON I, N. S. Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 1—President Coolidge refused to arbitrate a $25,000 claim of Matthew O'Brien, San Francisco architect which was subsequently paid by Controller General McCarl over the protest of the United States Veterans' Bureau, W. E. Gordon, chief of the military claims division of the general accounting office testified this afternoon before the senate committee in restituting the veterans' bureau.

This move on the part of senate prevented the defense demanding a declaration enators as to their connection to the Ku Klux Klan. Two members of the vote to permit the challenge Preliminary to the hearing, a committee was pointed to an article WASHINGTON, Nov. 1—President Coolidge refused to arbitrate a $25,000 claim of Matthew O'Brien, San Francisco architect which was subsequently paid by Controller General McCarl, over the protest of the United States Veterans' Bureau, W. E. Gordon, chief of the military claims division of the general accounting office testified this afternoon before the senate committee investigating the veterans' bureau. Gordon declared he ordered the claim paid even after the President had declined to pass upon its merits. The payment gave O'Brien a total of $97,000 for drafting construction plans for a hospital at Livermore, Calif., which has never been used. All "unusual haste" in the purchase of a hospital site at Excelsior Springs, Mo., was due to a desire to "hospitalize crippled soldiers who were walking the streets," Ewing LaForte, former assistant secretary of the treasury testified today before the senate committee, investigating the veterans' bureau. LaPorte emphatically denied previous testimony that he had raised the purchase price of the property, owned by E. L. Morse, from $77,000 to $90,000 on the last day of the Wilson administration. KELLOGG NAMED WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—Former Senator Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota, will succeed Col. Geo. Harvey as the U. S. ambassador to Great Britain. It was officially announced at the state department today. Announcement of Kellogg's appointment followed by receipt of word from Lord that Kellogg will be accepted to Great Britain. His appointment cannot be confirmed for a month yet as the senate does not meet until December 3. Despite the threats of some dissatisfied western senators with the appointment of the former senator it is deemed unlikely that there will be much, if any, opposition to his confirmation in the senate. Senatorial appointments are usually confirmed in short order of the unwritten rule of "senatorial courtesy" and friends of Kellogg do not anticipate any exception will be made in his case. PLACE LIMITS ON BID TO AMERICA By FRANK F. MASON I. N. S. Staff Correspondent PARIS, Nov. 1.—Premier Poincare has requested that the allied invitation to the United States to join the international committee of reparations experts shall specifically declare that the committee be limited to discussion of Germany's capacity for payment for the purpose of a clear understanding with Washington before the meetings begin, it was learned from allied diplomatic circles today. The French premier wants it clearly understood with Washington that the experts shall not agree to a reduction of the total sum of indemnity Germany must pay. M. Poincare has expressed willingness for the committee to sit in Berlin. McGANN DEFENSE "UNWRITTEN LAW" LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1.—Convicted of manslaughter for the slaying of R. T.

Sinclair, W. C. Mendelhall, chief geologist of the U. S. Geological Survey, declared today before the Senate public lands committee, which is investigating the Teapot Dome lease made by former Secretary of the Interior Hall.

Ton, facing impeachment charges to file charges against members of the senate challenging right to sit in the case.

Allen Injured in Collision Lights Put Out of Commission, Radio Concerts Interrupted by Storm One of the most violent thunder and lightning storms visiting Anaheim in two years fell last night, putting electric lights out of commission over a wide area interrupting radio concerts and bringing .61 of an inch of water to thirsty citrus groves. Tallow dips and kerosene lamps were the order in hundreds of homes which didn't have gas. In Garden Grove and vicinity, for example, there was little light all evening. Many couldn't get any light this morning, either. The storm was the first of consequence this season and brought the total rainfall of the season to .87 compared with .70 last year of the same date. Beyond a few bad holes, such as cave-ins on South Palm-st, between Santa Ana and South, which recently was improved, the damage to roads was slight. Placentia received .42 pf an inch, according to A. S. Bradford, and Yorba Linda .55, according to the Yorba Linda Citrus Ass'n. Yorba Linda's total is .37, against .14 to the corresponding date of 1922. The rain was rather uneven, Max Nebelung reporting .38 of an inch compared with the .61 of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n.
