Ball offered Bill.
A bill to require all machine own
ers to put up a bond or carry insur-
ance was introduced in the Sixty
Seventh Congress by Senator Ball
but did not reach the stage of enact
ment into law.
Herbert l.. Davis. auditor of the
District Supreme Court, who has been
strong advocate of a bonding law
stated today that he has learned that
a similar bill, with some indications
will be reintroduced in the House at
this session of Congress.
Mr.. Davis pointed out today that
such a law would not only provide
financial protection for persons who
may be injured, or who may sustain
damage to their property, but would
also have the effect of curbing reck-
less and irresponsible drivers.
The bill formerly introduced into
Congress designated $4,000 as the
amount of bond or insurance to be
required, $4,000 of which would be to
cover personal injuries and the bal.
ance as protection against damage to
property.

SKEPTICIsM IN BELFAST.
Believe No Difficulty Will Come
Until Free State Presents Case

BELFAST. December "A report
that the Free States representative
on the boundary commission may re-
sign and other serious consequences
follow If the commission fails to deal
drastically with the retracing of the
boundary between northern and
southern Ireland is received with
skepticism in authoritative circles in
Belfast. 1t is believed here that any
difficulties in the commission will not
arrive until after the Free State pre-
sentS it's case, and meantime the com
mission is ,delicately feeling its way.
AS to the attitude Of the Free State
government, there is growing belief
that President Cosgrave's illness will
necessitate his resignation. and it is
asserted in Ulster circles that, while
Kelvin O'Higgins. his logical success
sor. desires to maintain friendly re-
lations with the British government
and uphold the Anglo-Irish treaty,
some of his colleagues apparently are
not animated by the same sentiment.

Legislation by Congress would be

FORBES only laughed when asked
him for a note for the $4,000 l handed
him and walked out of the room,"
Mortimer said. Here John w. II.
Grim, special Assistant Attorney Cen
eral, who guided the witness through
the testimony asked Mortimer if w.
u. Pratt of Kansas City had any part
in loaning him and Forbes this $4,000
Mortimer replied that Pratt had no
part in the loan. as far as he knew,
but Pratt was interested in the Co
lumb bian Syndicate and also in Vet
Grams Bureau hospital contracts with
Thompson and Black.
In San Francisco Mortimer testified.
Forbes introduced him to Charles
Hurley of Seattle, a former employer
of Forbes. Black, Hurley and Morti-
mer agreed in the division of Western
hospital contracts. Mortimer testified
that $l50,000 was to be added to each
bid, and this was to be divided
equally between Forbes, Hurley and
the Thompson Black firm.
In the meantime, Mortimer testified
Forbes had sent Thompson back from
Chicago to Washington to work
with" Charles r. Cramer, the Vet
erans' Bureau counsel. in handling
such contracts as might come up
while Forbes was in the West.
"Cramer's end" Mortimer testified
was to be taken care of by Forbes

considered in the division of profits"

Mortimer, Black and Hurley, the hos
pitfalls under discussion were those at
American Lake, Wash; Livermore
Calf. and ST. Cloud, Mimi, Mortimer
testified.
Judge George II. Carpenter took a
frequent hand in instructing the wit
ness himself, when defense counsel
objected that Mortimer was not quot
ing direct conversation. In almost
every case the judge drew from the
witness the controverted statement
III the form of actual conversation.
and defense objections war2 over
ruled.
Mortimer. of medium height. slight
ly stout. with grayish hair and con-
fident air. gave his testimony in pre-
else language, citing the dates, places
and persons present without ques-
tioning by Government counsel Col.
Forbes took careful notes as the wit
ness cited places of meetings at
tended by Forbes and the nature If
the conversation.
Defense counsel indicated their at
tack upon Mortimer's story would be
based largely on the alleged falsity
of some of his statements relating to
conferences attended by Forbes.
when, the defense claims, Forbes was
not there. Another point carefully
guarded by the defense. but expect
ed to be one of their principal els
closures, is the denial tnat Forbes
got the $1,000 loan" in Chicago from
