NEW CHARGE:
At j. 6. PROBE
$64, 900 Paid for Plans for
SHoSpitaI Which Were Later
Found Unsuitable

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-The spe-
cial senate committee investigating
the veterans bureau was told today
by Director Hines that on one oc-
casion the bureau paid $4,000 for
architects plans for a hospital at
Livermore. Calf, and then found
that the drawings submitted were
unsuitable.
The director said the payment was
made before he came into Office and
that the recipient. Matthew O'Brien
of Los Angeles had filed a claim
for an additional $4,000. which was
disallowed. General Hines added
that O'Brien had received standard
plans for public buildings from the
war and treasury department and
that these plans were followed close
ly in the drawings he later submit
ted for Livermore.
The director testified that he filed
a claim against Mr.. O'Brien for a
refund of $4,000 on the original pay
ment and that the architect then
placed the matter in the hands OF
MS attorney and it still is unsettled
Thls was the only instance, he said,
where an architect outside of the
government service had been en-
ployed to draw plans for government
hospitals.
John f. o'Ryan, counsel for the
committee, said his information had
been that O'Brien never previously
prepared plans for any large build
lngs, but merely for some moving
picture houses in San Francisco.

City Being ReStricted-NeW
System Will Start Here
Next Month

Acting Postmaster john II. Tyrrell
has been successful i'm obtaining
eight additional employees for the
postal service in this city. which
will do much towards giving the
reside ents a delivery and collection
service equal to the largest cities.
Six of the new employees will be
placed in the carrier service; three
doing regular duty and three as
signed to parcel post work The
new employees will start their duties
on November 1.
In order to better cover the city
Mr.. Tyrrell is now having a corps
of workers rerout6 the carrier sys-
tenn and on November /, the system
instead OF containing eighteen dis
trlcts as at present, will have total
of twenty districts. This will enable
the postoffice to have three deliv-
cries in the business section during
the day and two deliveries in the
residential section 1t will also pro-
vide for five collections daily in the
business district, two in the residen-
tial section and three in the mixed.
and residential sections.
Two of the eight new employees
will be assigned to clerk duties in
the office, one being placed to aid
with the work on the work room
floor and the other in the parcel
I ost section. Additional help will
be employed whenever the occasion
requires to handle outside mail and
parcel post matter.
Mr. Tyrrell expects a new parcel
post delivery truck within a few
days, and this will give the Office
fleet of three trucks by which mail
matter may be collected and deliv-

TWO POLICEMEN
ARE ACQUITTED
AIderman-at-Large Calvin
and Alderman Mcclure
Again Fail to Appear

The Board of Aldermen with AL
derman John J. Clark sitting as
president, last night dismissed
charges brought against Patrolmen
Archibald Mason and Joseph Gay
dos. The governing body met spe-
cially to hear these charges, and
all members were present with the
exception of Alderman-at-Large
Richard Calvin and Alderman Rob-
ert A. Mcguire.
The case of Mason was the first
called and it was made known that
charges were brought against the Of
ficer because Sergeant Frank Kas-
przak found him in an alleged
drunken condition, at the corner of
New Brunswick avenue and State
street on the morning of August 29.
He was taken to headquarters and
then to the office Dr. James Grieve,
who said he had been drinking but
was fit for duty. The sergeant was
the first witness called and he told
the same story as was contained
in his complaint. Lieutenant Will
liam Calvin, the officer at the desk
that morning, told the Investigators
that Mason was staggering and
talkative when brought to headquar
ters. He pointed out that the charge
against the officer was intended to
be, unfit for duty.
Former Senator Thomas rBown,
representing Mason, had n state
ment from the doctor on the case,
but did not need to present it. The
attorney questioned the sergeant as
to the officers condition on the
night in question, and was told that
hewalked to Headquarters and rode
to the doctors Office.
Chief Niels ]. Tonnesen was the
last witness called in this case and
he testified somewhat along the lines
of the two for -ner witnesses. While
the chief was on the stand a question
arose as to the difference between
being intoxicated and under the in
fluence of liquor. JCollc wing this the
presiding officer made known that he
would entertain a motion for dismis-
sal of the charges for lack of evil
dence. This action was taken and
the case disposed Of without the de-
fendant having to take the stand.
Gaydos Case
The charge against Gaydos was
one of leaving the city without per-
mission, and with not reporting for
duty at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on
the day in question about six weeks
ago.
Frank Kasprzak, acting lieutenant
on the day Gaydos failed to report,
was the first witness called. He told
the aldermen that Gaydos called
from Ellis Island at 2:50 o'clock in
the afternoon and reported for duty
at s o'clock. Chief Tonnesen testified
that Gaydos had not asked for per-
mission to leave the city.
The record of Gaydos while a
member of the force was before the
body but was not taken into consid-
Grafton.
Assistant -rosecutor John Z. Tool
an, representing Gaydos, pointed out
that there was no ordinance covering
charge of this kind. The officer
then took the stand and told of 60
ing to Ellis Island for his brothers
wife, and in the excitement forgot
to notify headquarters. The acting
lieutenant and chief were also re-
called, after which the charge
against this officer also was dismiss
ed.
