not suit the War Mothers and
they resigned. Edward Smythe, a
Canadian veteran, was left in sole

Sperry's arrest this morning fol-
lowed this allegation. He was ar.

alleged to have told the creditors
that Sperry was the only officer OF

> MR.. AND MRS. PRESTON GIBSON.

District Attorney PeytOn Gordon
sent a letter to Chief Justice Nc.
Coy, of the District Supreme Court
today requesting him to direct the
Jury commission to draw the names
of twenty-three men to serve on
the new Federal grand jury recent
" authorized by Congress to in
yestigate the war fraud cases.
Expressing grave doubts that the
investigation of war frauds by At
torney General Daugherty will
amount to more than a "whitewash'
of all persons concerned, Samuel
Untsrmeyer. Of New York, counsel
for the Lockwood committee, today
declined an invitation to assist
Daugherty in the investigation.
Untermeyer's letter of refusal was

tune" the letter reviews the work
of the Puto committee which investi

peat.
Untermeyer sharply criticised the
Attorney Central for a recent state
ment to the effect that out of sixty
lawyers whom he had invited tC
assist him in the investigation he was
unable to find one who was willing
to undertake this public service. This
statement, Untermeyer says, he OBJ
served with "amazement and morti'
