COLLUSIOK 13 BTSTED
"It ha been persistently rumored that
contractors and builders, determined to
save money on the erection of residences
and building structure have acted In
collusion with Inspectors employed tn the
District of Columbia, Capper's resolu
tion stated.
It waa broadly hinted that the trail ef
the war profiteer might be uncovered by
the lavestlgatloe.
Capper, in his resolution, gave cre
dence to current report that "contrac
tors and bufldera. especially since the
World war, have ignored or evaded er
treated lightly rules and regulations pro
viced in the bulling eoae. .
- He said report had reached him that
these men were particularly evasive in
carrying . out regulation of tb sort
might deter some, but as Executive Sec
retary Bugh Herdman observed. "The
cold made workers realize how hard
cold weather is on folks who lack fuel.
shelter, clothes and food."
COtSTT CLERK AIDS
The advantage of thorough organisa
tion waa at once manifest as prelimi
nary returns poured In. Thirty volun
teers at the courthouse headed by
County Clerk J. W. Beveridge have been
classifying thousands of cards used as
information by members of the subscrip
tion division. Their modestly rendered
service is expected to add greatly to the
speed and efficiency of the campaign
as a whole.
At the headquarters of Brigadier Gen
erals Colt Sensenich, Eddy and Mun-!
sell preliminary reports were optimistic
and a similar quality of hopeful cour
age waa reflected from the headquar
ters ot the women's division headed by
Mrs. C. B. Simmons.

Lee Roy E3. Keeley, attorney, whose
long continued fight for admission to
practice In th court of Oregon eemed
about to be concluded successfully, died
Sunday at his Portland home after
suffering for some' time from diabetes.
Keeley' turbulent career In Oregon
was marked by a stiff fight against the
Industrial accident commission tn en
forcing the workmen's compensation
law and by his futile libel suits against
two Portland newspapers.
The body 1 at th chapel of the East
Sid .Funeral Director and will be
shipped te Gleariche, Pa.. late thia after
noon. No . services will be held her.
Keeley was 35 year old and came here
from California several years ago. R.
C. Keeley, a brother, took charge of
the body here.
Belated action on Keeley's requests
tor a legal license was tiled tn the su
preme court this morning, when recom
mendation was made by th board of
examiners of th State Bar association
that Keeley be admitted ta practice. He
was refused the right' to practice fol
lowing charges brought by the associa
tion because ef his tactics in handling
the case of Mr Blanche Dfbbern. When
his temporary license expired the high
court refused either to renew It or to
formally admit him.
Keeley filed a mandamus action 1r
the federal court to compel the state
Justices to Issue him a certificate and
this was carried to the supreme court of
the United States, which decided ad
versely two weeks ago.
In his last application for admission
to the bar, filed last November, Keeley
admitted the errors of the experiences
upon which he waa debarred from prac
tice and asked for a reconsideration- of
his case. The committee which today
recommended his admission consisted
of Oscar Hayter. Roeeoe IV Nelson,
George A. Pipes and Thomas B. Green.
