BUREAU SCORED
BY VETERAN s
LEADER.
Disabled Cheer as Government
Is Holly Criticized at
Convention
by International News Service.

SALT LAKE CITY, June 25.-
Conditions which the Veterans Blu
reau at Washington, in charge of
rehabilitation of soldiers broken by
the world war, has allowed to con.
tinue in many parts of the country
were flayed today by Frank J..
Irwin, of New York, before the Dis
abled American Veterans conven-
ton.
Irwin Is national rehabilitation
chairman Of the veterans organiza-
ton. He declared there was mis-.
representation of the real number of
ployed, insisted the medical service
to the disabled was inefficient,
complained against the policy OF
simply transferring employees proven
incapable and branded the investi-
cation of the Veterans Bureau as
a farce in which the disabled were
made secondary to scandals Of past
years.
Greeted with Cheers
Irwin was cheered when he
called upon every man in the coun-
try to join in q crusade to end the
'intolerable conditions in many Of
the features of the Federal office
that is charged w1th the relief Of
the afflicted veteran
The reading by National Com
maIlder James A. Mcfarland Of his
annual report was constantly inter.
rupted with applause, particularly
when he stated that the organiza-
ton had more members, more
chapters and more prestige than
at any other time in its history.
Regain Fighting Spirit"
Last fall at Washington, Com
mander Mcfarland created Eensa-
ton when he appeared before the
Senate committee investigating the
Veterans Bureau and declared the
disabled men were Disguised at the
alleged subordination Of themselves
for stories of sensational scandals.
Today he repeated his criticism,
but urged continuance Of the CO.
operation Of the Disabled American
Veterans with the Government
agency without losing the fighting
spirit that demands the respect OF
those with whom you. deal and
without becoming a mere auxiliary
Of the Veterans Bureau"
Criticism Bitter
He was most bitter in his criti-
cism of ultra.pacifists.
Your comrades are coming back
into civil pursuits regardless Of
their physical handicaps and the
additional drawback Of having been
economically handicapped since the
day they entered the service" he
said.
Warning the convention that re-
peated overtures had been made to
merge the organization with other
veteran groups, Commander Nc.
Farland said:
I'd. A. v. is the only true spokes-
man Of the disabled of the nation.
Your standing at Washington is un.
challenged, your record in construc-
tive work cannot be surpassed and
your steady and continuous increase
in membership, while other organi-
cations are losing by thousands, is
indicative of your future"

NIT. James H. Allen, oc 26 Forbes St., Rochester, N. Yr suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him help less and unable to work
 He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the ac- cumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dis solved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body,
 With this idea in mind he con- suited physicians, made experiments and finally compounded prescrip- tion that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom Of rheumatism from his system.
 He freely gave his discovery, which he called Allenrhu, 10 others who took it, with what might be called marvellous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discov- cry through the newspapers
 ''The blessed relief this marvel ous prescription quickly gives has made for it thousands of friends say all dealers who have been sp- pointed agents in yoG= city. It t Mir. Aliens own discovery.

 The announcement was the latest move made against Hubert by Comptroller Charles l.. Craig. who recently withheld the aldermanic presidents salary for October on the ground that his holding office as commissioner of the Finger Lakes park commission disqualified him from serving as a city official. Craig announced at that time not only had Hulbert's name been dropped from the city payroll but that action would be started to recover salary paid him from the time he accepted the state office.
 "Hulbert made a trip to Albany on May 5, 1924. as a state official and as a city official" said the ex- aminers In their report today, "As state commissioner, he explained his trip as being for the purpose of 'conterring with the state engineer and surveyor and other officials As president Of the board of aldermen. he appeared before Governor Smith, with Mayor Hylan. in opposition to the governors port authority bill.
 "Hulbert's expenses were paid by the board of estimate clerk who ac- companied the party of city officials as disbursing clerk. Notwithstand- Ing this, as commissioner of the Finger Lakes park commission, Hull bert collected from the state for the identical expenses which, 1t Is tes. tifed. the clerk paid and charged to the city"
 The expenses concerned In the duplication were less thap S20.
