S24 contractors and contracting firms
marking the beginning OF move BY
the government to clean up Its wal
contract controversial. has been order
ed by the department Of Justice. The
proceedings will include both criminal
and civil action. and involve millions
of dollars" department officials said
yesterday. Practically all Of the cases
embraced by the prosecution were
turned over by the war department,
hut there were indications that simt.
lar cases would he received from other
government departments. The shipping
board is understood to be planning ia
request criminal prosecution In half
a dozen cases. In addition to those
already in the hands ct the attorney
general. The contracts on which &C.
ton will be pressed were said to In
volve amounts ranging from rev
thousand to a few millions EACH"
They include agreements for the fur
nishing of supplies Of nearly every
commodity which the government pur'
chased for war purposes. a. well a.

and warehouses and other facilities
for the training Of the army.
Preparatory to instituting legal pro-

ment has started a re.checking 1T such
lata aud figures as It has. planning
.ater to pursue the investigation into
the records Of the firms and individu'
mis- whose contracts are questioned.
This work will require several months
and possibility of early settlement OF
most of the suits appears remote.
Officials expressed the belief that
although the war department had fall
ed to reach an agreement, many OF the
controversies would he settled out OF
court. The war department abolished
its fraud and graft investigation Sec
tions some months ago and Its IA
c,lities for making necessary inquiries
in most Of the cases were limited.
With respect to 81 score or more OF
the contract settlements In dispute
there was the belief that "honest mis-
takes" had been made by the con-
tractor or sub-contractor and that an
investigation of records would produce
grounds on which adjustment OF the
matters could be easily made. 1t was
said that in other cases. however,
.'plain fraud and conspiracy had been
proved SO clearly that no other course
was open to the government excepting
direct action looking to indictments ~

"Robert T. Scott. assistant to the at
torney general. said II would be the
policy Of the government not to deal
leniently with the fraud cases. He ex-
planned. however. that contractors
against whom civil proceedings only
would be instituted would be given
every opportunity to straighfen out
controversies before the matter was
thrown into litigation. The contracts
represent practically every section OF
the country and court action will be
sought In local jurisdiction.

Car Stolen Monday;
Recovered Precious
Sunday; How Come?

The police department has a mys-
terry that would battle Sherlock
Holmes. The members Of The depart
ment are trying to explain how car
stolen Monday could be recovered
the previous Sunday night Can It
be done7
Sunday night, Sept. 2S, Motorcycle
Policeman Harold Quinby found an
abandoned car in South Third ave-
nue.. The license number Of the car
was 1880, the engine number
2S1S027. 1t was Of Ford extraction
and touring car type. The abandoned
car came under suspicion when 1t
was found It had no container.
The car was kept at the court
house twenty-four hours in the ex-
pectation that the owner would call,
Then it was sent to a garage to be
held until the owner was found.
Investigation showed the car to be
licensed in Linn county and inquiry
brought the information that It was
registered in the name OF VIII
O'Heron and Charles Wasaba, who
are working for the Hahn Construc-
ton Company at Cedar Rapids. An

effort was made to find O'Heron or
Wasaba, but the former was in
Omaha on business and the latter
was attending convention at
Kansas City.
To COmDlicate matters the treas
urer's office at Marion, in describ-
Ing the Jointly owned car sent de-
scription OF Ford truck which had
been registered by O'Heron and
fWdSaba. This caused the officers
here to believe the car did not belong
to the firm and no further attention
was directed to the Marion end Of
the inquiry.
Friday Mrs. OHeron came to tho
city armed with letters from the Linn
county officials which were expected
to satisfy officers here Of the owner
ship OF the car. Before Judge Tan
HERSHEY and the officer who had
found the car, she described the Ford
most infinitely. There seemed no
doubt about the ownership. but
Mrs. O'Heron declared the car was
stolen Monday. probably eighteen
hours or more after it had been re-
covered here.
She was positive OF tho timo be-
cause she had driven the car to
Mercy hospital. Cedar Rapids. from
her homo in Marion, Sunday. had re-
turned home and the car had stood
In the yard during Sunday night.
Monday morning Mr.. O'Heron had
left his home In Marion and drove
the car to the construction company
yards In Cedar Rapids, It was later
in tho day, after Mr.. OHeron had
left for Omaha, that Mrs. O'Heron
was notified from the construction
oompany'S offices that the car had
been stolen, There could be no pos
sibility Of Mr.. O'Heron driving
another car to Cedar Rapids. for the
O'Heron car sometimes refused to
start and IT did Monday morning.
making 1t necessary for Mrs. O'Heron
to pull the touring car with the truck
for distance Of three blocks.
Quinby was positive the car had
been recovered here on Sunday night.
The police records showed the entry
on Sept. 90. and the garage books
showed receipt Of the car Monday.
the 9th, the day after the car was
recovered here.
Mrs. O'Heron visited the garage
ana identified her car at once. She
carried with her duplicate con-
tainer issued to her by the treasurer's
office and insisted the original con
tainer was on the car when it was
taken from Cedar Rapids, or at least
when she had last driven the car
Sunday. 1t probably was removed
by the thieves.
Mrs. O'Heron went home Friday
night with her car. There was no
doubt in the minds OF the police as
to the ownership. But Mrs. O'Heron
went with the thought that the police
were crazy and the police watched
Mrs. OHeron go with sympathetic
eyes, feeling she had poor memory.
The officers were inclined to regard
the mystery as an amusing one. with
the exception Of Quinby. who re-
marked after Mrs. O'Heron had gone:
Now how In the -- could that
car get Into Marshalltown the night
before 1t was taken from Cedar
Rapids?"
Up to date none Of his comrades
have ventured solution Of the mys-
terry.
