10000 VETS LOST
$50 BONUS, CHARGE
Illegally Deprived Of Pay, Is
Claim Movement for
Relief Started.
BY Universal Service.

A movement was started here
yesterday to make Il test case of
the complaint that a large number
Of former service men were ille-
gally deprived of the $50 bonus to
which they were entitled upon dis
charge.
The number of men affected is
approximately 10000. according to
Samuel T. Anseu. formerly Judge
Advocate General of the Army, who
is looking after the affairs of d
group of the war veterans and who
rendered an opinion that they now
are entitled to the bonus.
With certain exceptions, the War
and Navy departments were with
out authority to withhold that gra-
tuity from any officer or enlisted
man who actually served on or be-
fore November II. 1918, and was
separated from the service not later
than the termination OF the cur
rent term of service" said Gen.
Ansell
THE excepted persons are those
who were discharged by sentence of
court-martial or solely by reason
of unfitness due to their own fault
or misconduct. those who are en-
titled to retired pay and those Off
GERS discharged by the President on
grounds of inefficiency.
Neither the fact that an officer
or enlisted man was discharged
from the war establishment and
commissioned or enlisted in the
regular establishment upon the same
day. nor any other incident Of serv-
ice found by the department, but
not specified by the statute, can
deprive such a person of his right
to the bonus"

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20.-Will
H. Hays. head of the motion pic

movies, his chance to come back
before the American public. After
the first of the year will come his
new opportunity.
Hays. before leaving for the East
today. made public his Christmas
present to the rotund comedian.
Arbuckle will resume work for
Joseph Schenck, to whom he was
formerly under contract. Enthused
over what a dfs or two ago seemed
to him a hopeless future, Arbuckle
tonight said:
GRATEFUL FOR CHANCE.
II am grateful to all those who
are helping me and / will prove
myself worthy Of the trust placed
in me-"
Commenting on the new oppor-
tunity given the great comedian,
Jesse Lasky. vice president Of the

stated:
I'VE are sure that Arbuckle will
prove himself worthy of the, trust.
We have given no thought to the
matter of releasing the pictures
already made. We have no plans
in that connection now"
Arbuckle was barred from tine
screen a year ago following the
three trials through which he was
finally acquitted of charges Of hav-
ing been responsible for the death
OF Virginia Rapp. a film actress.
who died following a party in Ar
buckles rooms at a San Francisco
hotel.
His pictures. made prior to the
ban, will not be released at this
time. anyhow. according to Hays
ruling
LIVING RROSAIC LIFE.
Hays action was taken after he
was convinced Arbuckle had been
living a prosaic life since the San
Francisco tragedy.
Every man in the right way
and at the proper time is entitled
to his chance to make good" said
Hays. 1t is apparent that Roscoe
Arbuckle's conduct since his trou-
BILE merits that chance. In our ef-
forts to develop a complete coop
Grafton and confidence withiY the
industry I hope we can start the

Federal Commission to Submit
Report Fayoring Stupendous
Program for Next 5 Years
1s "H0TELs" TO BE RAzED
Government Plan Intended to
Save $500, 900 Yearly Now
Paid for Rental Quarters

Recommendation for the most
stupendous building program Of a
generation, providing a fund Of
t30, 0,000, 900 for the erection of pub
Lie buildings in the District during
the next five years, will be present
Cd to Congress in the annual re-
port of the Public Buildings Com
mission, it was learned yesterday.
HOTELS TO BE RAZED.
Included in the report, and OF
foremost interest to hundreds OF
Government workers, is the recon-
mendation that the eighteen Gov
-ernment hotels between the Capitol
and the Union Station be razed be-
ginning July 1, 1928.
The report has been approved by
virtually all of the members Of the
commission and will be acted upon
finally at a meeting in the near
future.
Senator Reed Smoot, chairman Of
both the commission and the Sen
ate Public Buildings Committee.
said yesterday that the report would
be laid before the Senate as soon
as II has disposed of pending legts-
lation.
The report will recommend build
ings for the archives Of the Govern
ment for the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, the Department OF Agri-
culture, and removal of the Depart
ment of Justice to quarters in the
Interior Building.
WOULD SAVE RENT ALSO.
The report also will set forth the
need for permanent buildings for
the Department Of Labor to avoid
the huge rentals now charged. As
this amount is less than the rental
for the Department of Justice. 1t
Is urged that the latter have first
consideration
The most important item is an
appropriation of $4,000 900 for an
Archives Building. The need Tor
this building Is declared to be one
of the most urgent which has come
before the commission. By remoV-
ing tons of documents from the
various departments, it is declared,
the protection of invaluable papers
not only would be assured. but
thousands OF 1eet OF IlOOT space
would be saved.
A site for the proposed Archives
Building already has been selected
near Twelfth street and Ohio ave-
nue. northwest
Another item which is strongly
recommended is the Internal Rev
enue Building for which several
locations are available.
NOW GET S5O0.OO0.
Urging the necessity OF reducing
the yearly expenditure in rentals.
the report shows that more than
$500. 900 is now being paid by the
Government for buildings.

referred to as the worst housed in
stitution in Washington" is now
occupying 25 buildings scattered
over a wide territory, the report
states.
Purchase Of certain lands in the
Northwest section of the city for
future sites of Government build
ings is also recommended. With
respect to buildings which it Is
proposed to erect. the report states
that it ia the opinion of the COM
mission that they should not neces-
sarily be OF pretentious design. but
should be the type of structure of
the Treasury Department annex at
Pennsylvania avenue and Madison
place.

FRENCH "TIGER" TAKES FIERY
STAND ON SENATE CRITICISM
Writ OF Attachment
Closes Doors Maui
Sport Goods House

Judgement in the sum of $253.SS
and costs and attorneys fee was con
fessed in the Wailullu district magis-
trate's court this morning by Frank
}. Weissblatt, doing business as the
Maui Sporting Goods Company in the
action brought by Tn. II. Davies and
Co, through Attorney w. y. Crockett.
The store has been closed all this
week following the service OF a writ
OF attachment in the case.
On the property of the Maui Sport
ing Goods Company there is a chattel
mortgage for $500 to Clinton S. Childs
which was duly recorded last night
Other debts are said to include loans
Of $3.50, a bill of the Wilson Sporting
Goods house and other smaller claims.
1t is said that plans are forming to
care for the interests OF the creditors.
Maui Sporting Goods Company was
inaugurated by Leland c. Lewis after
his connection with Alexander House
Settlement was ended. He came to
Maui as Il boys work director. Later
Frank Weissblatt, who also had been
engaged in ,boys' work for the settle
ment, resigned that position and be
came associated with Lewis. Then
articles OF copartnership were filed.
Early last summer Weissblatt went
to the mainland and while he was gone
Lewis caused to be published notice
that Maui Sporting Goods Company
would not be responsible for any debts
contracted by any one other than
himself and that he was sole owner
thereof
Reports at that time indicated that
there had been permanent rupture
between the partners but, on the re
turn of Weissblatt, business relations
were resumed. In the course OF g
few weeks, however, there came an
other rupture and it was announced
that Weissblatt had purchased Levi;
interests and would conduct the busi
ness. 1t was a short time later tha
Lewis left Maui.
