CHIEF ] JACKSON CLAIMS { UCCE SS
Says Raid In Louisiana City Brought Excellent
 Results

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-In spite of the fact that bootleg circles said there was<a pronounced leak, o. D. Jackson, chief of federal prohibition enforce ment officers here, said tonight the liquor raids conducted in New Or leans today by his forces, with the assistance of agents from other cities, was very successful" Warrants au- thorizing the search of 45 places were put in the hands of the agents early today and at nightfall the returns showed intoxicants had been found in 23 of them. How many raids were made without result was not known, but it was established that nothing was found In several places.
 The -Picayune will say to- morrow it had learned that one boot legger was called out of bed early today and warned of the impending raid, while the warning was broad cast generally several hours before the agents went over the top. MT. Jackson dubbed it bootleg talk" The newspaper also will say it has au- thoritative information that the pro- hibition officials have list bearing the names of seven or eight hundred citizens slated for investigation.
 ''Izzy" Einstein, nationally known prohibition agent, was involved in the preliminaries, and, as ''Mr McSwartz," !" spent nearly three weeks in the city seeing the sights and incidentally vis- iting restaurants and other places Halloween night when the lid admit tedly was off. In his investigation here, .Izzy" was assisted by Peter Reagan. He departed Sunday for Mo bile, where wholesale raids were con ducfed tOdaV.

Lax Enforcement Blamed

MOBILE. Ala, Nov. 13.-(Special Leased Wire.)-In commenting on the developments set forth in the foregoing dispatch, the Mobile Reg ister of Wednesday morning, under the caption of "The Inevitable Re- suit" says:
 Those who have looked upon law violation In Mobile as a subject the discussion of which among Mobile citizens was calculated to barn the community and to give it an unsav- ory reputation abroad can now see how the fruits of sucn an attitude have far more adversely affected Mobile in the eyes of the nation. Those public officials who have been repeatedly called upon to clean up the law-enforcement agencies of this city and who responded by publicity declaring that the officers charged with this responsibility were per forming satisfactory service, may take what junction they may from the events of yesterday. which so thoroughly refute and disprove their declaration. Those ,who have sought to defend and justify those public servants whose duty it was to sup press law violations have now brought home to them how harmful to the community such course ot apology has been.
 This action of the federal authori- ties in uncovering in Mobile condi- tions that almost everybody knew in a measure to exist could have been anticipated by resolute and sincere action In endeavoring to evade a disagreeable task the community has been brought into an unhappy and unenviable notoriety before the na- tion, for it Is not easy to believe that there has been an entire lack of gen. eral knowledge as to the existence of law violations such as the gov ernment men have uncovered In- stead of having so acted as to re- ceive the merlted credit for uphold ing the law, the city and county of- ficials now have the embarrassment of seeing others do what they might have done.
 | The spirit of law observance could have been ificulcated and impressed upon the community by the city ana county officials whose obligation it was, not only to enforce the laws but, what is more importan-. to lead in the exhibition Of the spirit of law enforcement. We think 1t can fairly be stated that such a spirit has been lacking, or else how could the fed eral officers have uncovered such or ganized, established and wholesale violation? The deyslopnents of the past "A hours should bring home to the right -minded people of Mobile the truth that a known evil cannot be compromised with. It must pc probed and cut out of the social body, or the whole body is contami- nated

 The witness testified that plans and specifications for the three hospitals under discussion had been prepared by either the navy or war depart ments and that he had followed rec concentrations of those departments in awarding contracts, To support this testimony, MT Easby- Smith read into the record 8 number of letters and reports which were taken from the files of the bu- reau of docks and yards of the navy department and the quarternaster- generals office and which were fur nished him at his request by John F.

A carbon copy of letter purporting to have been written by Forbes was placed in evil dence some time ago. but 1t developed today that Secretary Mellon has since reported that the original of such a letter was not to be found in the treasury files.
 Employment of a local architect to assist with the Livermore plans was suggested by President Harding Forbes testified, and O'Brien was hired on the strength of endorse ments which he brought to Washing ton, among which were those of the two senators from California and the entire delegation from that state in the house of representatives.
 Describing Perryville as "the best junk pile" the government ever had Forbes said he was for closing it, but  litical one to keep It going.
 The former director told of several conferences with President Harding about the sale of Perryville supplies, but denied that the President was incensed or indignant, as Dr. Sawyer had testified. He said at one time the President seemed interested 'in some towels" and another time "some sheets" that were being shipped out His testimony also was that MT Harding. in stopping the sale finally, had given permission for the cars then loaded to move. Dr. Sawyer testified that 1t was for releasing these cars that Forbes was dismissed
 The former director charged that pr. Sawyer had made a requisition for the shipment of 20 barrels of whiskey from Perryville to Dayton Ohio, where there is a soldiers home

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-Charles R. Forbes struck back boldly and vigorously today at his critics before the Senate veterans committee. He charged conspiracy" to en- compass his destruction by means of perjury and the suppression of material facts and documents' and entered a general, sweeping and other witnesses refleeting upon his honor.
 Time and again he attacked Brig. Gen. Charles E. Sawyer, personal friend and physician of President Harding. Picturing Dr. Sawyer as a "meddler" in the affairs of the veterans bureau under his admins tration, Forbes declared that "poli- tics and Sawyer" were to blame for most of what were termed the de- ficiencies in the administration of laws for the benefit of disabled vet erans.
 General Sawyer was determined, Forbes testified, that homeopathic doctors should get their innings" in the matter of the employment of physicians by the veterans bureau and he also was strong for soldlers' homes" as places for treating the world war veterans.
 Denying the testimony of Dr. Saw yer that President Harding had called for his resignation as director because of 'fnsubordination" in con- nection with the Perryville. Md, sale of supplies, Forbes declared he had frankly" told the President he could not continue to serve if Dr. Sawyer remained in office and that he "relieved the President of any embarrassment" by rendering his own resignation.
 Forbes told the committee that he had a report from the department of justice that Elias H. Mortimer, of Philadelphia, was the social and professional bootlegger of Washing ton" It was Mortimer who made charges of intrigue, debauchery and corruption In connection with the contracts for veterans bureau his pitals.
 The former director denied he had discussed such contracts with Nor timer and said that, late in 1922 he had refused to deal with the Suther- land Construction company of St. Louis, until assured by officers of the company that Mortimer did not represent them.
 Will Testify Two Days.
 Appearing at his own request, Forbes was on the stand for four and one-half hours today and it appeared that his examination probably would not be concluded for at least two days. He began by reading into the record long prepared statement and then was examined by his counsel, James s. EasbySmith.
 Forbes testimony was heard by the largest crowd that has yet at tended the hearings, scores of men and women standing for hours while many others were turned away. The awarding of contracts for hospitals at Northampton, Mass, Tupper Lake, New York and American Lake, Washington, which figured largely in Mortimer's testimony; the pur- chase of the Livermore, Cal, hospital site; the employment of Mathew OBrien, a San Francisco architect, to prepare plans for the Livermore hos pital. and Perryvile sale were the
