LAWYER INDICTED
ON FORGERY COUNT
To Face Trial on Charges
of Larceny After Trust
of$1,5O0.

James j. Laughlin, Washington at
torney, was indicted by the District
grand jury this afternoon on charges
OF forgery. embezzlement and larceny
after trust, involving $500 he is al
legged to have received from three
clients.
The clients. two of them now In
the District Jail. made the complaint
against the attorney, who was ad-
mitted to the District bar May 13, 1890.
Shortly after the arrest about the
first of June of Walter C. johnson,
Edward r. Dietrich and Erma Miller
on a charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses, Laughlin was
employed by them to obtain their
release fro mail on bond, the trio
told the district attorneys Office.
Details of Charges.
1t was alleged that johnson gave
Laughlin three checks drawn on
Chicago and Miami banks in amounts
OF $500, s7l6 and S785 to provide
cash bail.
United States Attorney Leslie c.
Garnett. however, refused to allow
the release Of johnson and Dietrich,
since Florida authorities had asked
that they be held to face a charge
there. Erma Miller was set free on
$500 bond.
The woman told authorities Laugh
lin took the bond money from the nro-
cteds Of the s716 check and gave her
$l93 cash.
The attorney in two indictments
charged with forging a s1,4e2 so re-
ceipt and with embezzling $500.

trich and Miss Miller wrote the
Grievance Committee of the District

eating the case.
Miss Miller, johnson and Dietrich
and Bureau of Standards hand
writing expert testified before the
grand jury.
The receipt Laughlin is charged
with forging purported to be for
money advanced by johnson which
the attorney said he turned over to
Miss Miller after the release of john

train. Statistics kept by Lorton off,
cials show the bus has covered 100,-
900 miles and has carried 66,074 pris-
oners.
Mechanics have disclosed that the
life of the bus might be extended by
complete overhauling and a new
body. The original body has nearly
rotted away and is about ready to fall
off the chassis. The job will take two
months, but there is no auxiliary bus
to use while the repairs are being
made. A bus company in Washington
has offered to transport the prisoners
at the rate of $50 trip. For 60 days
that would cost the District a mini
mum of $1,000. because sometimes two
trips q day are necessary. That is
about half Of the original cost Of the
bus.
Rail transportation might be little
cheaper, but the railroad has declined
to revise its schedule to accommodate
District prisoners for short period of
so days. Thus, officials will be in a
dilemma in event Of complete break
down Of the old bus.
Another striking illustration Of the
failure to provide adequately for the
institutions is found in the central
heating plant at the reformatory. Four
boilers, with a rated horsepower of
$50, are required to furnish a demand
load of 1000 each. The constant load
in Winter averages between / 1,400 and
$500 horsepower each. In case of a
breakdown the situation would be seri-
Gus. There are no auxiliary boilers.

TREASURY'S ISSUE
IS CALLED SUCCESS
$400,0 100000 in Bonds
0versubscribed 9 Times,
Morgenthau Says.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Morgenthau estimates the
Treasury offering of $500 900, 900 Of
20 to 23-year %. per cent bonds has
been at least nine times over-sub-
scribed. Closing the books, he de-
scribed the financing as q great
success"
Morgenthau told a press conference
this over-subscription was estimated
on the basis Of preliminary figures.
Final figures, which may place the
over subscription even higher, and
ALLEGATIONS Of the securities probably
will be made public Friday.
Along with the Offering of s400 ,000,-
900 of bonds for cash to provide the
Treasury with new money, Morgen-
thau also had offered up to s514,-
066,000 of the same obligations in
exchange for a like amount of is per
cent, two-year notes maturing Sep
tember IS.
No figures on the amount of notes
offered in exchange we're made public,
but practically all are expected by
Treasury officials to be converted.
Books for the exchanges will be closed
at the end of business tomorrow.
Morgenthau said subscriptions for
the s400,000.00 cash offering placed
in the mail before last midnight
would be considered as having been
entered before the close of subscrip-
ton books. Likewise, notes offered in
exchange may be placed in the mail
up to midnight tomorrow.
Asked regarding Treasury policy in
substituting long-term obligations for
the maturing notes. Morgenthau said
he thought it was good business from
the standpoint Of the Treasury" to
distribute debt maturities "over fairly
long periods"
'The investing public has come to
the point where they now feel anxious
to buy 20-year bonds" he said. and
We felt it a good time to sell them
20-year bonds"
He added that the Treasury sought
to avoid having maturities fall too
heavily in any one year.
The heavy over-subscription was
viewed by the Treasury chief as DEM
onstrating that this issue was we'll
priced and fairly-priced"
He reiterated previous statements
that Constantly growing confidence"
in Government credit had enabled the
Treasury to float a 1923 year issue at
224 per cent interest. During the past
year the Treasury has successfully
heightened the terms of its bonds
without increasing the interest rate.

the Cleveland convention, one sup
porting Edward F. Colladay. who has
been national committeeman in the
District for number Of years, and
the other backing former United States
Attorney Leo A. Rover.
The Colladay delegates won the
contest before the Credentials Com
mittee and were seated. Colladay then
introduced a resolution at a meeting
of the national committee, proposing
formal recognition of the Wilkes COM
mittee as the party organization in the
District. AS the convention adjourned,
this resolution was referred to the ex-
ecutive group Of the national commit
tee, which adopted it at meeting in
Chicago yesterday.
Wilkes Asked to Run Campaign.
Earlier in the Summer, National
Chairman John D. M. Hamilton had
written to Chairman Wilkes, asking
his committee to direct Republican
campaign work in the District pending
action of the Executive Committee.
Colladay appeared in support of the
recognition resolution at the Executive
Committee session yesterday.
THE course adopted by the Ma
tional Executive Committee, through
what we expected is most gratifying"
said Wilkes, on learning of the action
taken in Chicago. ut is in line with
Chairman Hamilton's direction to us
to carry on the party work here, as
we have been doing through our cam
paign club and Voters Bureau at 14l3
H street northwest, and 1t will serve to
settle any technical details of the rec
ord as to our committees being the
official branch of the national party
in this district"
The seating Of the Colladay dele
gates at Cleveland was followed by
reelection of Colladay as national
committeeman and of Mrs. Virginia
White Speel as committeewoman. The
other delegation was supporting Rover
for national committeeman, but both
groups were for Mrs. Speel to remain
as national committeeWoman.
Rover Had No Notice.
Rover said today he did not have
notice of the Executive Committee
meeting in Chicago yesterday, adding
that If there had been an oppor-
tunity he would have presented the
claims of his supporters.
Regardless of their local differences,
however, both sides are supporting
the Landon-Knox ticket. Rover has
made some speeches in Maryland and
plans to speak in other States, under
auspices of the National Committee.
