CONGRESS AGAIN WILL GET PLEA FOR ARLINGTON SPAN Idead Is to Span Potomac With Arches of Ever Enduring Granite. •« Washington. Nov. 26. —Congress will be asked at its coming session to again consider the Arlington memorial bridge plans with a view to making them a reality.

' i After the reports liad been submitted by the workers in ‘the campaign the sug gestion was made that the chamber and the Merchants’ Association merge, with tin* latter organization giving way to the former.

They* were ready to put first witnesses on the stand at the conclusion of the opening statements, but Federal Judge Carpenter indicated that, testimony would be put over until next Monday. Chicago, Nov. 2(5. —Colonel Charles R. Forbes, former director of the United States Veterans' Bureau, who went to trial here Monday on charges of conspir acy in connection with his conduct of the veteran's bureau, was indicted here last February along with John W. Thompson, Chicago and St. Louis contractor, after a federal grand jury had spent more than a month investigating charges of alleged waste, graft aud debauchery in the con duct of the bureau. A few months later Forbes and Thomp son were re-indicted on similar charges, j the second indictments being returned in an effort to comply with legal technicali ties overlooked in the first. charges. Fro bes and Thompson were charged with conspiracy to commit bribery and con spiracy to defraud the government, while Forbes was named alone in one indict ment on a charge of accepting a bribe and Thompson in another on a charge of of fering a bribe. The grand jury investigation here fol lowed an investigation of the Veterans’ Bureau by a senate committee in Wash ington which charged fraud, corruption and mismanagement of the bureau. The original indictments charged that Forbes, while director of the bureau, received a bribe of $5,000 and certain additional emoluments on agreement to award con tracts for government hospital work for world war veterans to the contracting firm of Thompson and Black of which Thompson and James W. Black, deceased, were tlie heads. (Miaries F. Cramer, for mer gejaeral counsel for the bureau, who committed sure We-after rirrVpfftlgtrtien -of the department was proposed, waiLyarned in the indictment as having accepted a promise of $100.(>00 from Thompson aud others for his approval of the contracts. Elias Mortimer of Philadelphia, alleg ed to have been an emissary of Thompson, appeared before both the senate commit tee aud the federal grand jury and gave much of the information on which the charges were bused. The hospitals for which congress appropriated $12.000.(KM) and which were allleged to have been in volved in the illegal deals were to have been located at Liberty, Tapper Lake, Tarrytown and Poughkeepsie, N. Y.; Northampton, Mass.; Chillicothe, O.; , Great Lakes, 111.' Gulfport, Miss.; Liver more and Camp Kearney. Cal.; Hayden Lake, Idaho, St. Cloud, Minn.; American Lake. Camp Lewis and Tacoma, Wash. According to the charges. According to the the head of the vete?ans’ bureau agreed to give Thompson and Black the preference in the contracts the firm desired regardless of whether their terms were most ad vantageous to the government. Expens ive trips at government expense and other alleged wasteful practices also were de tailed. The original investigating jury, in a supplemental report, charged that at least two members of congress were involved in the case and that sums of money had been paid to them, and this led to a sep arate investigation a few weeks later. Both Colonel Forbes and Mr. Thomp son have maintained their innocence of any wrongdoing and have asserted they welcomed an opportunity to prove their innocence in open court.

CONCERNING THANKSGIVING Earliest Thanksgiving Was Kept by the Pilgrims in 1621. YYashington, D. Nov. 26.—Tomor row the people of the United States and of its insular and other possessions will observe Thanksgiving Day in the mnn ner wlrieh the curitpni of years ha,s - pre eridtad ’lnr- A*'.occasion. f the states. The ,-President's proclamation makes the day a legal holiday in the Dis trict of Columbia, territorim aid pos sessions. In 1787 the Episcopal Church formally recognized the civil govern ment's authority to appoint an annual festival of thanksgiving for the mercies of the closing year, and in 18KS the Roman Catholic Church als # o decidde to honor the festival which had lkng been nearly universally observed. The earliest harvest Thanksgiving iu America was kept by the Pilgrims at Plymouth in 1621 and was repeated often during tiiat and the ensuing century. Congress recommended days of Thanks giving annually during the Revolution and in 1784 for the return of peace. Washingtog a pointed such a day in 178!) after the adoption of the constitution, and in 1795 for the general benefit and welfare of the nation. In 1815 President Madison set aside a day for Thanksgiving. Following this there came a period of nearly half a 'century .during which day* of national thanksgiving were unknown in the Unit ed States. Then, in 1862, when the country was rent with .civil war. Presi dent Lincoln summoned his countrymen to fall upon their knees, in their places of worship, especially to “acknowledge and render thanks to our Heavenly Fath er for the signal victories, vouchsafed by Almighty God. to the land and naval forces engaged in suppre«csiong an inter national rebellion and for averting from our country the dangers of foreign in tervention and invasion." Why all of the Presidents who served from 1815 to 1863 should neglect to fol low the example set by Washington, John Adams, and Madison is something that historians heve never been able to explain. Since 1863. however, no Pres ident has failed to issue a proclamation for a national Thanksgiving, the last Thursday in November nearly always be ing the day appointed for the festival.

MUCH FAITHIN THE NEW CABINET Gen. Allenby Thinks Mem bers of Cabinet Will Ac cept British Demands or Seek Way for Agreement. London, Nov. 26 (By die Associated Press). —Field Marshal Allenby, British high commissioner in Egypt, informed the British government in a message today that the situation in Egypt was much easier as the result of the respite since the resignation of the Egyptian cabinet.
