Mortimer, Who Said Mr. Forbes Gave Informa tion About Hospital Sites. ALSO DENIES ALL SAWYER CHARGES Says He Was Not Dismissed Because He Failed to Obey Orders—New Thrills Giv en by Forbes’ Testimony. Washington, Nov. 14. —Piecing out the details of his denial of the charges against him, former director Uhas. R. Forbes, of the Veterans’ Bureau, put new thrills ihto the Senate veterans investi gation today by flatly contradicting the testimony of several witnesses. He pass ed the lie directly to Elias 11. Mortimer, of Philadelphia, who had told the com mittee that under Forbes' administration confidential information was furnished certain contractors regarding proposed hospital sites. “If Mortimer states that," said the a former director “lie states what is a ■ lie." Then he turned to Mortimer, who 3 Was seated at a with committee ■ counsel and exclaimed, "You laugh." ■ Uhiiirnian Reed, of the committee inter |9 posed. "You are testifying to the com - ■ mittee," said tire chairman, “and it is not ■ necessary for you to address other per ■ sons." 9 The witness also contradicted directly 9 th<> testimony of I>r. (’has. E. Sawyer, M personal friend and physician of Presi -9 dent Harding. Dr, Sawyer had told the I committee that Forbes was dismissed by 9 the President for not obeying an order 9 to stop surplus property sales at Perry -9 ville. Md., but the former director declar -9 ed Mr. Harding had given him authority 9 to release ,loaded cars at PeVryville after ■ the first, stop order was given. 8$ Washington. Nov. 1.3.—"A conspiracy ■ to encompass my destruction by means E of perjury, subornation or perjury, and ■ the suppression of material facts and ■ documents," was charged by (’has. R. 9 Forbes, former director of the Veterans' 91Bureau, in testimony today before the 9 Senate veterans' committee. Taking the 9 stand in his own defense before the 9 crowded committee room, the former di -9 rector entered a general sweeping and 9 absolute denial of the many charges fl which have been made against him during 9 the committee’s inquiry. "Long before the President finally de cided to issue his second temporary or der stopping the delivery of goods at Perry ville," the former director said, "I frankly told the President that I could nor continue to serve if General Sawyer was to continue in my office, and it be came simply a choice between Sawyer and myself, and I relieved (ho President of any possible embarrassment by ten dering my resignation." . The denial was directed, the witness said, against every charge, statement, innuendo and insinuation which in any manner whatsoever reflected upon the honesty and integrity of my official or personal or official conduct while I occu pied (he office as director of the War Risk Insurance.” S Most of the deficiencies in the admin ~ istration of the laws providing for the S relief of disabled veterans he declared, ■2 "had been due to politics and Sawyer.” ~ He was referring to Brigadier General Z (’has. F. Sawyer, personal friend and E physician of President Harding. Forbes Z then flatly denied the statement made - before the committee by Dr. Sawyer ■■ that he had been dismissed by President Z Harding for insubordination in eonnee- Z Ron with the sale of silYplus property at Z Perryville, Md. ” 2 At the outset. Forbes read a prepared ■ statement in which he earnestly request : (1( 1 the committee members to question, ■ him searchingly as to all matters with : in the scope of the investigation, and : of all the testimony heretofore given and 2 which he was to give. ■ "1 feel I cannot refrain from express : ing to the committee at this time.” ; horbes said, “my growing belief finally j resulting in conviction on my part which : I expect by testimony of disinterested witnesses to establish that an attempt lias been made to mislead the commit tee, and a conspiracy is on foot to en compass my destruction by means of per jury, suburonation of perjury, attempted subornation of perjury and suppression of facts and documents bearing uot only on my personal conduct but also official conduct of my affairs and subordinates. I deny generally and shall hereafter deny specifically and in detail the utter ly false and groundless charges of official and personal neglect, dishonesty, graft J’.quor drinking, loose conduct, and anv and every other derelection of duty, of ficial or personal, which has been ascribed to me either by the witnesses Mortimer or Y\ illiams, and- other, or charged against me by the Icounsel of this com- • mittee.” • ; New York Women Workers Receive a | _ Bare Living Wage. ■ ] ork ' Xov - 12.—A four month's . study of wages earned bv (50.000 wo ; employer inNew York disclosed “that ; about half of them receive less than » a week.
