Billy Webb. who has disposed of
 hi> former cars. will, it is understood bring in an up-to-date 1924 Ford touring car. Billy is a past master lat the wheel and whether or not you believe it. he will not be found talk irg the dust from any of these "swell' cars.

NEW INDICTMENT AGAINST FORBES
 REPORTED FOUND
Second Batch Of True Bills Are Suppressed
 By Officials

CHICAGO, June 6.--Indictments in the second federal grand jury investi- gation of the administration of the United States Veterans bureau under Col. Charles R. Forbes, its former director, are reported to have been re- turned yesterday and suppressed.
 John W. H. Grim, assistant attorney general, who conducted both investiga- tions, refused to divulge how many in- dictments or what number of persons had been named in the true bills.
 There were reports that one or more persons not named in the previous in- dictments were involved in the latest grand jury report, but this could not be confirmed. A woman's testimony in the case was said to have been given particular attention by the present grand jurors, who began their .investi- gation last Monday.
 Colonel Forbes and John W. Thomp- son, Chicago and St. Louis contractor, were indicted jointly by the February grand jury on charges of conspiracy to defraud the government and individ- ually on charges against Forbes of re. ceiving a bribe and against Thompson of paying a bribe.
 After a vigorous attack on the in- dictments by counsel for the indicted men in a plea in abatement, the gov ernment suddenly decided to reopen the investigation in what was under stood to be a broadening of the inves- tieation.
