Pretenses.

deceased son of A. s. Abel, former
Julian r. Simpson, jr.,'also known as
j. Robert Simpson, an insurance man

of false pretenses. The Indictment
is in four counts and charges that
S184 In cash and a check for S4,456
were obtained from M. LIE Roy Goff Of
this city through alleged misrepre-
sentations in February. 1923.
The indictment alleges that
February IA, 1923, the defendants
the Connecticut General Life Insur-
ance Company Of Hartford. Conn,
had issued a life insurance policy on
the life Of Mrs. Abel for 500, 600.
and that April 1, 1923, she would be
entitled to $4,000 from the Abel

Walter w. Abell, is trustee. Goff
surrendered, 1t is said, s184 In cash,
and gave Simpson a check for S4,456
five days later, which check was
cashed. The Government asserts
that no policy of insurance for
100000 had been issued to Mrs.
Abell, and that she had no money
coming to her from the Abell estate.
Notes and a written order for $4,000
on Walter w. Abell, trustee, were
given to him, Mr.. Con- says

HOPE FOR DISABLED VETS,
Senate Committee Solves MANY
, Problems, J. A. Mcfarland Saws.

James A. Mcfarland, national COM
mander of the Disabled American
Veterans, today expressed pleasure at
the attitude of the Senate committee
investigating the Veterans Bureau,
as shown by the preliminary report
yesterday covering points Of vital in
terest TO the MANNED man.
The recommendation of the Sem
ate committee should go a long ways
toward solving many of the problems
of the wars disabled" said Com
mander Mcfarland
After profound study of the sit
uation the Disabled American Vet
Grams, in national convention at Min
neapolis last June, adopted Il compre-
hensfve program, and we are natu-
rally gratified that many of our rec
concentrations have been incorporat-
ed in the committee report.
One of the handicaps under which
the Veterans Bureau has labored has
been in being hog tied by a mass of
utterly indefensible laws, and if the
Senate and House will speed enact
nlent of the recommendations in COM
mittee report, long deferred justice
4 will be done to thousands of the dis
sbIed.
We claimed the committee obtain
ed misleading Information on the
propositions of disqualification and
employment among the 'rehabilitated'
veterans, and we hope to revive these
subjects later. But. speaking broadly,
the committee report marks decided
progress.
