transactions. The success of the entire program for the veterans depends on the manner in which funds set aside by congress are handled. It is stated that during the present fiscal year expenditures amounted to $400,000,000. The statement that "it would not be surprising if in the hand ling of so large an amount some part of the appropriation was not diverted for purposes other than those congress had in mind rather strengthens the suspicion that all x not well with the veterans bureau. On the contrary, if not surprising, it would cer. tainly create strong indignation, should il be discovered that the money Intended for the relief of veterans has been used for some other purpose or wasted through care less and inefficient management. Regard less of the fact that thousands of individual claims must be investigated, there is no reason to believe that the bureau cannot be operated as efficiently as any other branch of the government. Because of it's charac- ter, there should be a minimum of delay, formality and red tape.

Gibbons May Stick Again by His Cleverness in De-

BY LEO II. LASSEN

'@THEY RE already talking about return fight between
Tommy Gibbons and Jack Dempsey for the heavy
weight title
If they do fight again the result will be just the
it before unless Dempsey stops him.
Gibbons with all his ceveness simply isn't strong
enough to lick Dempsey in long fight He showed this
clearly in the Shelby fight
At times Gibbons showed flashes of offensive form when
he cracked Dempsey with straight efts and left hook

challenger try TO his right.

POLLARD SHAKEN
BY SOBS As JURY
SAYS NOT GUILTY

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. "a
Thomas Pollard, prominent young
business man and a member Of one
of Virginia's leading families, today
is free of the charge of murder in
connection with the death of Mrs.
Thelma Ham Richardson, his forme
stenographer.
Pollard was acquitted last night
by a jury after deliberations of less
than two hours The defendant
sobbed as the verdict was read.
Mrs. Richardson, formerly Miss
Thelma Ham, of Atlanta, was killed
en- the lawn of the Pollard residence
on the night of December IL last,
following a quarrel with Pollard. A
bullet from a revolver fired during
a struggle penetrated her heart.
The defense claimed that the
woman was shot by accident and a
number of defense witnesses during
the taking of testimony told of al
legged threats made against the life
of Pollard by the woman.
Approximately 800 Veniremen
were called during the selection of
Il jury and nearly four days were
required.
The acquittal of Pollard closes
what is said to be one of the most
sensational murder trials in the
criminal court history of Virginia.
