last two issues, we have devoted so
much space to Senator Ladd's money

reforms.

it wasn't, actually forbidden by law,
large groups of people considered the
taking of interest base, and immoral.

FORMER ARMY MAN
 CONVICTED CRATER
c. J. Ritzman of Detroit Found Guilty. of War Fraud-Rush-
 ing Other Cases

Washington, June 16.-Reopening of trials of persons charged with wal frauds resulted in the conviction of Charles J. Rtzman, general manager of Driscoll & Co.,, Detroit, and for
 mer captain in the army transport corps. Ritzman was charged with ac- cepting a bribe of $500 in marked money for influencing the award of contract for skid chains. Sentence was withheld, pending an appeal.
 While this is not one of the war fraud cases for which an approprla- tion of $50O,O00 was made recently by congress officials of the department of justice say it indicates that all alleg- ed war frauds will be prosecuted.
 The Ritzman case is one of about fifty partly prepared under the ad- ministration of Attorney General Palmer and completed under Attor- ney General Daugherty. Several in dictments have been obtained in these cases, and it was stated today by United States Attorney Peyton Cor don they will be tried as rapidly as possible.
 The special grand jury. authorized by congress to handle nothing but such cases, is rounding up the cases prepared and is expected to hand down fully a score of indictments within the next week.
 MT. Daugherty announced today he is making headway in getting corps of strong lawyers to go into the other cases The offices allotted to the war fraud cases of the depart ment will be taken over tomorrow. They are in the land office building
