COURT UPHOLDS
CONVICTION OF
COLONEL FORBES

CHICAGO. Jan. 2.-The conviction
of Colonel Charles R. Forbes, former
head of the United States veterans
bureau and John w. Thompson, st.
Louis contractor on CHARGES of COM
plicity to defraud the government in
letting contracts for veterans hospi
tails 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 $4,000 each. Both men are re-
ported to be i'll, and under todays
decision would be compelled to begin
their sentences at once unless provi-
sion is made to appeal the case to
the supreme court This, defense at
torneys indicated, is contemplated.
Judge Evan A. Evans wrote the de-
cision after sitting with Judges A. B.
Anderson and George T. Page to hear
the appeal last November.
One of the main contentious of the
defense was that Thompson haa been
tricked into delivering papers and
records to the grand jury which in
dicted him. 1t was also charged
that the trial judge was prejudiced
The appellate courts opinion re-
viewed the testimony of Elias H.
Mortimer an alleged go-between"
and "fixer" for Forbes, and Thomp
son, who turned governments wit
ness and told of the conspiracy
charged by the government to throw
bids for government hospitals to
Thompson's firm.
The opinion termed Mortimer's
story "shoclxingly repulsive, but said
that it had not been disputed and
that neither defendant had testified.
The assignment of errors were term
ed for the most part hradly worthy
Of consideration" and the opinion said
the defendants met with fair or fav-
orable rulings throughout the trial.

Bishop Hughes Talks
 On Mans Bankruptcy

Chicago, Dec. 23 P)@An average mans accounting of what he has contributed to the world and what he owes society will convince him he is a bankrupt, Bishop Edwin H. Hughes of the Methodist Episcopal churches in the Chicago area be- lieves.
 From the standpoint of service, Bishop Hughes said in recommend ing such a general accounting, the average person will find he cant pay two cents on the dollar.
 Considering humanity as a unit, we are all hopelessly in debt. Others won a country for us. Every na- ton has contributed to our welfare.
 At Christmas time there is a tendency to give condescendingly because we feel that what we give it not won by the recipient" Bishop Hughes told the association of com merce. There is something radical ly wrong with this conception. We think too much of individuals and not enough of society,""

Chicago, Dec. 23-Declaring that she Is ostracized from society while her divorce proceedings are pending, Mrs. Anna Walsh Darlington peti- tioned Judge Rush for an imme- diate hearing of her suit against Colonel Edward G, Darlington, pub fisher and politician.
 Mrs. Darlington asked for an ear ly opportunity to clear her name of charges brought by her husband that she was in love with her broth er-in-law, Campbell Darlington, a New York attorney.
 Another reason for an early hear ing, her attorney explained, was the difficulty of keeping an army of witnesses together. These witnesses, he said, were to testify in support of the wife's charges that Colonel Darlington was friendly with an- other woman while establishing a residence in Chicago to sue for a divorce.

HUSBAND MISSING,
 FACES EVICTION
New York Woman Destitute
 After Launch Disaster

New York. Dec. 23-With tense face and dragging steps, Mrs. Celes- tine Mathais, wife of Adolphus Ma- thais, West Indian negro, who was last seen in the cabin of the ill-fat- ed Linseed King, which sank in the Hudson Monday morning, climbed the two flights to her one-room apartment last evening. In her arms was one of her twin baby boys eighteen months old. A neighbor's boy carried the other child.
 She had spent the day In a trip to the Spencer Kellogg company, where her husband had worked. She told the reporter who met her at her door, that, being without food or heat and threatened with eviction rom her tiny room when her rent falls due on Christmas Eve, she had turned to the company in despera- ton to collect five days pay she claims was due her husband before he was put down as missing in the disaster She said they had refused Olflcials Of the company could not be reached last evening.
 And then, inside the room, she was given the s5 bill which had come to newspaper for her from a city official who wishes to have his name withheld. She broke into fit of desperate wailing, & tor rent of words lost In her sobbing. Hes dead and drowned under the ice" she said. T can never get over it-never."
 Then, stopping down, she wiped her face with one arm and began unbuttoning the babies coats. When she looked up again her face was again tense, rigid in despair. Thank you, gentlemen, thank you" she said, in a broken voice. T got no relatives In New York, not a living soul to help me-" She sank back in chair gripping the s5, while the twins, Vincent and kenneth, started crying fitfully.
 In another small apartment, two young women sit. one to have been married yesterday to Frank Mar ques, another probable victim of the wreck. as told In The World. She had been married in a civil cere- mony; this was to have been the Catholic marriage, which was all important 10 Anna Marques, a slight girl of eighteen.
 Mrs Carlos Morales, the other, has not heard of her husband either, though word came to the two yes- terday from a survivor, Luis Ortiz. that he had seen Marques and Mo- rales in the cabin, talking to the captain, before the boat sank.
 Anna Marques wedding cake re- mains uncut. She will await definite word of Marques fate, then, if she hears he is dead, as she fears, she will be given refuge with her sister. Mrs. Guda- Paterson, N. J. The case of Mrs Morales is more desperate. With her husband still missing. she IS penniless. Yesterday she return d furniture from her apartment, which she was buying on install- ment. In Porto Rico. where she comes from, she taught school. She hopes that she can find something to do to earn living. She is twenty-four and bears the tragedy better than her friend, Mrs. Mar ques, who lay on a couch crumpled up and crying softly.
