EVIDENCE OF FRAUDS Forbes Favored Contractors in Awarding Contracts for Construction of Hospitals. (Associated Press Leased Wire.) WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. Charges that Charles R. Forbes, as director of the Veterans Bureau "was a leading actor In an established conspiracy to defraud the government" are made by John F. O'Ryan, general counsel, in his report to the senate veterans com mittee. "In developing this Inquiry," Gen eral O'Ryan said, "it has been con clusively established by the testimony of witnesses, by documentary evi dence, and by the corroborative ef fects of numerous tell-tale circum stances that were brought out, that fraud and corruption existed In the bureau." After summarizing evidence as to hospital contracts and other opera tions of the bureau, O'Ryan declared that "further Investigation by the de partment of justice, following leads developed by this Investigation should furnish other Instances of corrupt transactions negotiated by Forbes and others in the bureau." One conspiracy to which Forbes was charged by O'Ryan with being a party was "that development, having for its object the award by the di rector to favored contractors of con tracts for the construction of hospi tals." Others named as parties were brought by Hurley, of Tacoma, Wash., J. W. Thompson, a Si- Louis contrac tor, the late James W. Black of Chi cago, and Ellas H. Mortimer of Phila delphia, the chief witness' against Forbes. O'Ryan declared that a specific ex ample of the accomplishment of the conspirators Is furnished by the tes timony and exhibits affecting the award of the contract tor the founda tion of the hospital at Northampton, Mass., to the Pontlac construction com pany of Detroit, Mich., a subsidiary of the then Thompson Black com pany, although that company was not the lowest bidder. He also set forth that '"after the ring of conspirators was Increased In number by Hurley," the Hurley-Mason company of Tacoma secured after ad vertisement for bids by the bureau, the contract for the hospital at Ameri can Lake, Wash., for $1,397,000, al though It was not the lowest bidder. "This Investigation did not attempt to develop the circumstances which enabled the Hurley Mason company to secure the award," O'Ryan Bald, "except that the award was made os tensibly on the basis of time of com pletion." With reference to Forbe's defense at the house hearings that the con tracts were handled by the navy and war departments, O Ryan said Forbes policy was to attain the objects of the controversy, but so far as possible to shift responsibility to the war aad nav.y departments, whichever depart ment was charged with the develop ment of plans. "This was accomplished," the report continued, "by Insisting upon the right to sign the contract, but to refer to the responsibility for what was done as the responsibility of the other department. This effort was apparent. The chicanery of roroes. his determination to see that the Pon tlac company got the contract In ac cordance with his agreement with the conspirators, and at the same time to have the record look as though he was merely an actor In making the award. Is indicated particularly by the telegrams that passed between him, while be was on the west coast, and General Cramer (Charles F. Cramer, the late general counsel of the bu reau) and acting Director Rogers in Washington. As an example of what he charac terized as these "corruptions," O'Kyan made reference to the purchase of the hospital site at Llvermore, Cal. The land was purchased, O Ryan continued, "for $17,000 by Luclen B. Johnson, who after adding some minor Improvements, Bold the property to the government on the day he ac quired title for $105,000. Reference to the testimony of Johnson shows conclusively that fraud was commit ted. His Income tax on Us race is fraudulent. ids sworn testimony as to the disposal of the profits was; brazen In its obvious Insincerity. Thei purchase of this site was approved by Director Forbes upon the personal so- llcltatlon of General Counsel Cramer, and against the advice of experts.
