Approved BY Judge Lindsey.
Although this has apparently
shocked the management OF the
Palace Tfleater, audiences in gen
eral have not felt this way, for
everywhere the play has been
greeted with great enthusiasm and
even at the Palace Theater received
twelve curtain calls. AS to the
immortality of this play I would
like to submit copy Of a letter to
Nine. NazimoVa from Judge Ben
Lindsey, of Denver, which was
sent to me, and which publish
with his permission"
In the letter to Nine. Nazimova
written after Judge Lindsey and
Mrs. Lindsey saw the play the
jurist said: what people of this
country need is the truth about
their own hypocrisies and the mon
strous injustices Of stupid laws
still permitted to remain on their
statute books; laws that because
they are established and maintained
In ignorance and defiance Of the
real truth about society are doing
hideous wrong and contributing to
more vice and immortality than
they could ever hope to prevent "

CAPTAIN HAM 5
RECORD WITH
u. s. CLEAN
Former Veterans Bureau Ex-
ecutiye Resigned to Take
Better Paying Post.

Confirming his resignation today
as head Of the Fourth District,
United States Veterans Bureau,
Capt. Albert e. Haan said, in ex-
planning his action:
Ny resignation was presented be-
fore my name was introduced at the
meeting Of the commission investi-
eating the affairs Of the bureau yes-
terday. and was in the hands of
General Hines that length Of time.
Incidentally 1t had been accepted BY
him more than . week ago. The
charge that have resigned because
am drawing a disability compensa-
ton while an employe Of the bureau
is entirely unfounded and is mis-
leading.
Il draw my disability compensa.
ion because Of shell wound re.
eeived in the left leg which shat.
tered both bones below the knee,
and resulted in the limb becoming
more than an inch shorter THAN
my right leg. For a year and ten
months was confined in several
hospital in France and in the
United States undergoing treat
ment, after 1t had at first been
decided that amputatiOn of the
limb was necessary. I received my
wound while commanding Second
aN-aIion, 126Ih Infantry, at Ju-
vigny, France, in the second battle
Of. the Marne
Following my discharge from
Walter Reed was asked by Colonel
Forbes to enter the employ Of the
bureau. II accepted and organized
the first district in accordance with
the act of August 8, 1921 which
consolidated the several agencies
into the u. s. Veterans Bureau,
and decentralizied the activities into
fourteen districts throughout the
United States. During my control
Of the Fourth district I disbursed
more than one and half million
dollars a month which was paid
to beneficiaries Of the bureau and
institutions with whom we had con-
tracts. Ny administrative and Of
fetal records are open to inyesti-
CATION, have been investigated by
General Hines and approved by him.
It is an injustice to associate my
resignation with any statements
made before the Senate Committee
by disgruntled persons.
II have accepted the distributing
agency for the w. @. Durant auto
mobile products, at Huntington
w. Va. Previous to the war /
served in the United States Navy
for four years; later on the Mexican
border in command OF q machine
gun company which ! recruited in
Michigan. When the war involved
the United States, left my auto
mobile business in Grand Rapids,
Mich, and was placed on duty as
recruiting officer for the state, ana
was successful in enlisting 5000
men Tor service in the Thirty-sec.
ond Division.
my compensation is granted for
80 per cent permanent partial
disability as recognized by the laws
and regulations governing compen-
sation In the United States Veterans
Bureau. I also received an 8. c. D.
discharge from the army, having
been rated at 90 per cent disabled

board at Walter Reed Hospital.

dered General Hines was reluctant
to accept It and told me he was
holding me in reserve for a higher
position at an increased salary, and
asked me to reconsider my action

LONDON, Oct. S1.-Fo1lowing the
receipt of replies from the allied
powers agreeing to appointment Of
an international committee of ex-
perts to fix Germany's capacity for
reparations payment, Great Britain
now intends to suggest a joint
allied communication to Washington
inviting United States to participate,
It was learned at the foreign office
today.
It is the idea of Great Britain that
the request to Washington to send a
competent American delegate to join
the committee would have more
weight If signed by all the allies.
The inter-allied reparations claim
at Paris Is expected to determine the
terms of the conference and the
conditions under which II shall work.
