BUREAU PLUNDERED
OVER HIS PROTESTS,
HINES SAYS At QUIZ

WASHINGTON, Oct. S1.-Payment
of an additional $4,000 to Matthew
|OBrien, San Francisco architect, for
revision of his plans for govern
ment hospital at Livemore, Cal, to
make them accord to the terms of his
original contract, was disclosed to-

mittee.
Frank T. Hines, director of the vet
Grams bureau, testified that the pay
ment had been made by Comptroller

This sum brought to approximately
$97. 900 the total O'Brien has received

alter his plans as to bring the cost
within the original $1,600,000. For
this work he submitted claim of
$50, 900 which General Hines disap-
proved. The matter then was re-
ferred to the comptroller general S
office, and on October 8 payment of
the full amount of the claim was au-
thorized.
General Hines read into the rec
ord q letter which he subsequently
wrote Mr.. McCarl protesting against
the, payment and asking that steps be
taken to recover from O'Brien the
sum paid. He said he had received
