ONLY HOPE
IN SUPREME COURT
Former Veterans Bureau
Head Must Go to Jail Un-
less Appeal Is Granted.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, January 1.-THE convic-
ton of Col. Charles r. Forbes. former
head of the United States Veterans
Bureau. and John w. Thompson. St.
Louis contra Ctor. on charges of con
spiracy 10 defraud the Government in
letting contracts for veterans hos
pitfalls. WAS upheld today by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals
Federal Judge George A. Carpenter
sentenced each OF the men to two
years in the penitentiary and fined
them Sl0. 900 each. Both men are re-
ported 10 he i'll. and under today's
decision, would he compelled TO begin
their sentences at once. unless provi-
sion is made TO appeal the case to the
Supreme Court. This defense attor-
neys indicated is contemplated.
Claim Trial Preiudiced.
Judge Evan A. Evans wrote the de-
Anderson and George T. Page to hear
the appeal last November.
One of the main contentious of the
defense was that Thompson had been
tricked into delivering papers and
records to the grand jury which in
dicted him. II was also charged that
the trial was prejudiced.
The appellate courts opinion re-
viewed the testimony of Elias II. Nor
timer. an alleged go between and
'tiXer" for Forbes and Thompson. who
turned Governments witness and told
OF the conspiracy charged by the Gov
eminent to throw bids for Government
hospitals to Thompson's firm.
The opinion termed Mortimers
story "shockingly repufsfve," but said
that it had not been disputed and that
neither defendan mt had testified. The
assignment of errors was termed
for the most part hardly worthy OF
consideration" and the opinion said
the defendants met with fair or fav-
orable rulings throughout the trial.
Trial Judge Satisfied
The opinion also referred TO plan
of Thompson's concern to obtain build
ing contracts from the Republic of
Colombia. South America. by using
Forbes TO gain an introduction TO gov
eminent officials.
Judge Carpenter expressed satisfac-
ton with the decision in which he was
upheld. and said the sentences were
just and in keeping with the evidence
Defense attorneys indicated a petition
for rehearing. and if that fails. an
appeal to the Supreme Court would
be next step taken.
Former Senator James Hamilton
Lewis. associate counsel for Thomp-
son. said he would like to see the case
taken to the Supreme Court on the
question of seizure of thompson pa
pers to determine whether this was
constitutional. He said that Randolph
Laughlin of St Louis is chief of coun-
sci for Thompson. and until he out
lines his plans attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS will not act.

counsel for the General Electric and

The Government insisted the Gen
eral Electric, after agreeing in 1911
to decree under which it would not
fix prices at which jobbers and retail
ers must sell it's electric lamps, had
adopted the present plan of convert
ing the iobbers and retailers into
agents to accomplish the same pur-
pose.
The license agreement, the Govern
ment also held. under which the West
inghouse Co. was permitted to manu-
facture and sell the patented lamps
constituted an unlawful combination
in restraint Of trade.
The General Electric argued the
plan complained of had been in effect

brought the proceedings and had bene-
fitted the consumer.
The Government held the company
had merely changed the form of price

Blame Rays of Sun
for MYSTERIOUS Fire.

Among the many causes Of costly
nres the sun is one that must be
reckOned with, according to a gen

derwriters' Laboratories.
"In an Illinois city not long ago a
FIRE broke out in the display window
Of a jewelry store" says the same
authority, in Popular Science Month
~. Among the window decorations
was round ball of glass with q pic
ture under it. The glass had focused
the rays of the sun so that 1t acted
like a prism and set fire to tissue
paper streamers hanging at the back
Another natural f1rebug he says, is
static electricity.

Thirteen men were injured and 10
cars burned to cinders because a
