VETERANS CAN
SELL BONUS
RIGHT
Applicants Can Name Broker
As Beneficiary Without
Fear of Law

World war veterans who attempt
TO sell their bonus insurance for
ready money by naming as a
''friend" and beneficiary the broker
with whom they negotiate, may do
90 practically without fear of the
law, 1t became known today through
an authoritative source at the
Veterans Bureau.
The bonus law does not restrict
veterans in the naming Of a
beneficiary, and the instruction
sheets issued with the application
blanks state that the naming of a
''friend" as beneficiary is allowable
This loophole in the law is par
TALLY covered by Section 500 of the
act, which states that no certificate
shall be negotiable or assignable or
serve as security for any loan.
Whether this covers the situation in
question Is a matter upon which
even the legal experts of the
Veterans Bureau are undecided.
Many veterans have expressed the
wish that they might obtain money
Immediately on the bonus, especially
those who have dependents. Bonus
brokers in Washington and in other
cities are ready to buy up the
certificates. Such negotiations, how
ever, must be carried on before ap.

MORE CHOICEST

IN SEWER
Champagne and Canadian
Club Included in 726 Gallons
U. S. Agents Destroy

Perspiring freely and exchanging
jocular lamentations, a corps Of
men representing the Federal pro-
hibition unit and the u. S. Police
Court today are pouring 726 gallons
OF choice liquors into the sewer in
the rear of 141S Pennsylvania ave-
nue. northwest, one of the Federal
liquor warehouses.
This is the second largest assert
ment of liquors to be destroyed in
the history of the Volstead law, and
Charles Williams, one Of the agents
from the Prohibition unit, expressed
doubt that they would be able to
conclude the job today.
The program OF destruction was
opened with a few cases of cham.
payne and Canadian Club and Black
and White wEiskey.
This was followed by the rolling
out Of eight barrels Of hard cider
and beer, which were battered in
by two axes in the hands Of Agent
Williams and Agent G. S. Atkins.
Next came scores Of tins Of liquor
and more cases Of whiSkey, to-
gether with an allotment Of Horki
Vino.
BaiIiff William C. Conner, who
represented the Police Court. said
that the 726 gallons represented
thirty-one separate court orders.
Agent Williams said that the
largest LIQUOR destruction party was
made over 957 gallons, which was
thrown on the dump.
Williams added that he makes a
point to try to destroy from 1900
to 1900 gallons a month in order
to keep room in the warehouse for
new seizures.

Miss LaWler, Former EmpIoye
of Mrs. Harding, FeIIed on
Cleveland Street

The story of a brutal attack
with an attempted hold-up of Miss
Kathleen Lawler, 1920 r street,
long identified with the Repub-
lican national committee, and Sec
rotary to Mrs. H rding during the
campaign Of the late President
Harding, in Cleveland during the
Republican convention, was re-
vealed with the return here today
Of Miss Lawler.
Miss LAWYER, although not fully
recovered from the injuries suf-
fered in the assault, was able to
leave the home Of her parents in
Detroit yesterday. The attack
was made on the opening day Of
the convention.
Dropped Unconscious.
Miss Lawler, late for a tea en-
gagement, attempted to take q short
cut by way of a back street from
the Statler Hotel 10 the Hollenden
House.
AS Sne was almost 10 Ino 11O1lcH'

rushed by her and struck her on
the arm and side with either black.
jack or lead pipe.
The attempted hold-up was no.
ticed by pedestrian who rushed to
her aid. Miss Lawler was knocked
unconscious, and fell to the street.
Nerve May Be ParaIyZed.
When aid reached her, her hand
bag, containing almost 800 in bills.
was still closely held under her arm.
The assailant fled up the street
and was lost in the crowd around
the Hollenden House.
Miss Lawler said it was her be-
lief that the hold-up was attempted
by two men, one of whom was TO
strike her arm and force her to drop
her bag while the other was to conlc
along and pick up the loot.
Miss Lawler still is under the care
of doctors. A nerve in her left ell.
