A resolution deCharles R. manding that Colonel Forbes, former director of the United States veterans bureau, who is under two grand jury indictments for swindling several hundred thousand dollars from the bureau, be brought to speedy trial, was passed unanimously by the fourth annual convention of the Disabled American War Veterans, Wednesday at the Auditorium. The subject of Colonel Forbes was brought up by National commander McFarland while delivering his report. McFarland said that he believed Forbes should be prosecuted at once and that his trial should not be delayed until 'after the November elections. "I believe this convention should go on record as favoring a speedy trial and full punishment for Forbes," declared McFarland, and this was met with a vociferous demonstration of approval by the convention. "He was indicted by two grand juries, and if he is guilty we should demand the full penalty of the law," he said. Pride in the achievements of his organization and modesty as to his own part in those accomplishments marked the annual report of National Commander James A. McFarland, morndelivered before Wednesday ing's session of the fourth annual convention, Disabled American Veterans of the World War, in the Richards street auditorium. Commander McFarland held that the success of the Disabled Veteran body is due to the untiring efforts of every member of the organization. Particular credit he gave to the past national commanders and to those members of his own official family upon whom the burden of administration devolved during the past year. Pleading with the veterans to keep their organization intact, he touched upon its growth and its present standing in the nation. Praise for Brigadier General Frank T. Hines, director of the veterans' bureau, who addressed the Tuesday session, and for his work in reorganizing the bureau, was given.

The police believe that the arrest of three boys, who have confessed to sending a letter demanding ransome to Jacob Franks, father of Robert Franks, 14, who was recently kidnapped and slain, will put an end to a flood of threatening letters received since the Franks murder by several wealthy Chicagoans. One of the boys arrested after he and his companion has rushed to open a decoy package placed in an empty lot, told of the plan to extort $8000 from Mr. Franks in the belief that he would be so upset over his son's death that he would prove an easy victim. They threatened Josephine Franks' life. None of the three arrested is more than 18 years old. Several women wealthy and prominent in south side social circles were called to the state's attorney's office for questioning in connection with the class in orinthology conducted by Nathan Leopold Jr., who, with Richard Loeb, had confessed to the kidnapping and slaying of Robert Franks. Three other boys, the oldest 1G years, were arrested after attempting to extort $50 from John Borner, a contractor, to whom they admitted sending a threatening letter similar to that sent Mr. Franks and other wealthy Chicagoans. The boys, Edward Krug, his brother, Henry, and Elmert Olson, were seized when they took a decoy package left by Borner at a place specified by them for the delivery of the money demanded. They told detectives they expected to get "some easy money." Marines to Leave After Long Service Washington.
