DEFRAUDNiG U. S. FIRM
HELD FEDERAL 0FFENSE

Defrauding a corporation in which
the United States is stockholder
constitutes a federal offense, over
which Congress has jurisdiction and
to punish which 1t may legislate, the
Supreme Court held today in a case
by the government against Leroy w.
Walter to have reversed the decision
of the federal district court in south
ern Florida. =,
= Walter was prosecuted under q fed
eral statute for having with others
presented claim against the United
States Shipping Board Emergency
Fleet Corporation which was alleged
to have been fraudulent. The lower
court dismissed the case on the
ground that the act of Congress under
which 1t was brought was unaon-
stitutional because 1t was broad
enough to make it a federal offense
to include any corporation IN which
the United States, was a stockholder.

Gen. O'Ryan declared that despite
expenditures by Congress for the vet
Grams "on a scale never before known
for any such purpose" there existed
during 1922 a growing feeling of dis
satisfaction among the disabled which
was shared by veterans generally and
by their organizations as well. 1t
was here that he was Interrupted He
added that all complained of delays
in giving relief, of arbitrary and un-
reasonable rulings denying relief, of
the insufficiency of hospital facilities,
of the ineffective organization of the
bureau itself and of the method OF con-
Quoting it's affairs"
Gen. Hines, who assumed Office
after the charges were made, was
questioned in detail as to conditions
in the Veterans Bureau when he be-
came director on last March /. He
said that three-week survey of the
central office in Washington had dis
closed to him that there was a con-
siderable duplication of effort with a
resultant delay in accomplishment.
He added that the work of reorgani-
zation in the bureau still was in prog
ress.
ConcIusions Reached.
The witness said 1t had seemed to
him that the total expenditures for
operating the bureau was large par
ticularly with reference to overhead
costs. Other conclusions reached, he
said, included:
That the insurance division had
reached the point where 1t was func-
tioning properly.
That higher salaries and higher
grade of employees throughout the
sary to the accomplishment of the
best possible results.
That the hospital construction pro-
gram had been very much DELAYED
with number of projects hanging
fire. and with some of those under
way not progressing as rapidly as
should be.
That the time had come when the
: rehabilitation program should be nut
on the road to completion.
Gen. Hines said he had found more
than 80. 900 men In training, many of
them for more than three and ONE
half years. 1t was his idea that there
was only one form of rehabilita tion
and that was unemployment. Since
March 1. he added, $4,000 men had
CONNECTED work in the rehabilitation
division, and productive employment
for 80 per cent of them had been
found through cooperation of prac-
tically all the large corporations and
civic organizations over the country.

A Free.for-Ail.

fFeo.Jof.Atts l1lf.
Pllmsoll had set up working part
nership with a man who had brought
moonshine and bootlegged whisky to
the camp, occupying the next shack to
the gambling place. For convenience
Of service extra doors had been cut
and rough-boarded passageway
erected between the two places. Plim-
soil himself presided over the stud
poker table, dealing the game. He
waited the result Of his play with
Wyatt and the latter's companions.
Wyatt and his fellow rider had been
detailed to r4ds down the tent that
had been reported occupied by the
Three Star owners. That part Of the
plan had been suggested by Wyatt out
Of the sheer deviltry Of his invention.
Pllmsoll had enlisted others Of his fol-
lowing, none too fearless, to loiter in
the brush and, in the general confu-
sion. fire to cripple and to kill.
Plimsoll had learned Of the visit Of
the men who had come with Bill Bran
don to investigate Plimsoll's methods
Va EuuAIVS luo VdlCAuuC uOEoo KduCAA
He had learned, through the leakage
that always occurs in cattle COM
munity, that Brandon claimed to be an
old acquaintance Of Sandy and his
partners. So he had told his men who
had come with him to the camp from
the Waterllne ranch that the Three
Star outfit was danger to all of them,
undoubtedly acting as spies for Bran
don, and that they should be eliminated
for the general good. But there was
none Of them, from Plimsoll down,
who had any fancy to stand up against
the guns of Sandy, or Of Mormon and
Sam, when the breaks were anywhere
nearly even. Yr
Piimsoll, with his election from
Hereford, the advent of woman suf-
frage, the coming Of Brandon and
other irate horse owners, had begun
to realize that his days were getting
short In the land. He looked to the
camp for a final coup. If he held the

the more room they allowed him. They
melted away from the car on all sides,
leaving It clearest between the ma
chine and the entrance to the gambling
shack. The man with the square face
looked alertly about him at the crowd,
giving place to the lean tall man walk
ing leisurely up the street, high lights
touching the metal of the two guns
that hung In holsters well to the front
Of his hips. Sandy's face was serene,
but there was no mistaking the fact
that the star performer of the moment
had come upon the stage. Five PAGES
back Of him strolled Sam, his eyes
dancing with the excitement that did
not show In Sandys steel-gray orbs.
Westlake followed to one side, by the
advice Of Sam.
It was Plimsolrs way-the profes-
sional gamblers way-to play his cards
until he knew himself beaten. He had
been hoping for the arrival of this man.
He represented capital, the develop
ment Of the camp into a mining town,
the movement Of money. the boom Of
quick sales. With his backing-once
the camp understood what 1t meant to
all Of them-he might turn the tables
on Sandy, Bourke. The protection Of
Capital was powerful.
He came out licking his lips nervous
ly, with swift survey that took in the
setting Of the stage prepared for his
entrance. His eyes, shifting from the
big machine, as II drawn by something
beyond his will, focused on the figure
Of Sandy, easy but sinister in Its capac-
ity to avoid all melodrama. Halfway
between door and car he halted.
"Plimsoll7" said the stranger. II am

The light was perceptibly changing.
Faces of men came out Of the shadows,
pale but visible. In the east the sky
showed gray behind the dark purple
crests between which mists were trail

"Plimsoll." said Sandy. 'yThat peak
oveh on Sawtooth range is goin' to
catch the light first. I'll call 1t sun-up
when the sun looks oveh the mesa"
Plimsoll barred his teeth In a fox
grin. Sandy stood with his hands by
his sides, covering him with his eyes.
