HINES PLEADS FOR VETERANS’ BUREAU
—_ ___
New Leader
Asks Chance
to Function
Public Confidence Required
to Permit Bureau to Ac
complish Things Now,
Director Tells Legion.
Says It Is “Cleaned Up”
St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 15.—The Unit
ed States Veterans' bureau "has been
cleaned lip" but it “cannot take an
other forward step unless public con
fidence In our work is preserved by a
cessation of turmoil mul baseless con
demnation," declared Gen. Frank T
Hines, a director of the bureau, in ;,n
address today before the convention
of the American Legion.
General Hines complimented the le
gion for responding to his appeal for
Its "whole-hearted co-opetaticn" ar.'l
landing "ungrudgingly an active and
Intelligent* co-operation of the highest
degree of helpfulness."
"I think,” said General Hines, "that
[never before has it been so necessaiy
for us all to form a Just and true ap
preciation of what has lately be< n
i accomplished and then to see to it,
by every means in our power, that the
people of the United States have an
understanding knowledge of the great
work that has been done for the men
disabled by.service in time of war.
Rumors Fill Air.
"I find the air is at this moment
full of presages and rumors that at
tacks will shortly again be made upon
the veterans’ bureau, that propaganda
connected wllh the Interests of the
ex-service men and that publicity
campaigns are projected In which it
^ Is intended to drag out the mistakes
W* "Vert errors of the past, before you and
it put our shoulders to the wheel, and
so to visit as It were, the sins of ine
fathers upon the children of the thi.d
and fourth generation.
"You and I know very well that
* (here was at one time something
amiss in the i’nited States Veterans
bureau—that untill lately there was
always something considerably wrong
with the administration of its soldier
relief. The roots of those troubles
lay far back In the beginning, when
these government agencies • were
hastily organized under the stress of
actual warfare, imperfectly thought
out, Inefficiently manned and admin
istered and llloglcally anil spasmod
ically developed In limes of peace."
Defending his administration, Gen
era I lllnes said:
Never Can Be Perfect.
"If It shall he said that there is
anything fundamentally wrong with
the veterans bureau now, such state
ments shall be untrue. I am not so
foolish as to suggest that the ad
ministration of veteran relief is now
a perfect thing; it never can he that,
and never will; hut wc can say—for
It Is truth itself—that an enormous
stride has been taken.
"All available government hospital
facilities have been thrown open to
veterans of any war, military occu
pation expendition since the begin
nings of the Spanlsh-American war,
without asking whether their ail
ments were due to services or not, 01
brought about by their own miscoti
duc\ or not, so long as that, veteran
rls In need of hospital treatment anil
government has the hospital to
tVeat him fti.
"We have solved the problem of
ijehabllitalion. I p to July 1, 1921,
only 5,000 men had been rehabilitated.
Alnoe then more than 75,000 have
lAen rehabilitated, over 60,000 of them
within the past two years, and 40,000
others are in the course of completing
training."

]Jimmy Murphy
I Pays Supreme
Price to Speed
Famous Racing Car Driver
Dies of Injuries Received
When He Goes Through
Fence on Syracuse Track.
Syracuse, X, Y., Sept, 15.—Death
raced with Jimmy Murphy, famous
driver of racing cars, on tho Noyv
York state fair grounds oval today
and death won. Tonight the body of
Jimmy Murphy lies in the rooms of
an undertaker, the third great driver
since Labor day to pay the supreme
price to speed. On Labor day it was
Joe Boyer; a few days later Dario
rt.-sta, who hurtled off the track at
Brook lands, England.
Murphy, considered by thousands
of fans ns one of the greatest pilots
who ever answered the call of the
starting flag. died in a desperate at
tempt to make up the three-lap lead
of ''Ited" Shafer, eventual winner of
the J50 mile dirt track championship.
It was the 13Sth mile for Murphy.
Muh his foot hard down on the ac
eelerator he came down the straight
away and swung into the curve.
Spectators saw his machine Swerve
towards the fence. Twice it whirled
■n the dirt track and then rear end
foremost, it struck the fence.
Dies in Hospital.
A post from the fence pierced the
driver's breast over the heart and
a large splinter struck him under the
1 < bln. Murphy was buried In the
wreckage, but managed to free him
self before aid rnme. He was rushed
to a hospital where he died five min
ute* after arrival.
Spectators lined the fence through
which Murphy crashed. However,
none was hur^ although several
women fainted and were given medi
cal attention. The machine tore out
70 feet of fence in its mad flight.
Murphy's fatal t accident did not
bn it the race. Shafer drove on to
get the checkered flag after 1 hour.
•'« minutes and 20 seconds of driving.
Benny Hill, five miles behind Shafer,
finished second. Harry Harts, driv
ing Fred Comer's machine, was third.
! !>e Paolo whs fourth and Cooper was
fifth.
Second \ecide lit of Kate.
Murphy's accident was the second
of the day. On the SSth lap Tommy
Milton's car skidded into the fence.
The car turned over, but Milton
jumped to safety. He was obliged
to fw ithdrnw.
Earlier in the day, Paul Anderson
of Chi* ago establ.shed a new world
record of 15 minutes. 7 *1 seconds for
the 20-mile solo motorcycle champion
ship race.
Jimmy Murphy got his first taste
of the speedway game as a mechani
cian for the late Eddie I> Donnell.
After riding with Eddie nickenhneher,
who Liter became a fatuous ace in
the world war; the late Huy hie
Hughes, Tommy Milton and other
noted drivers in a similar capac.ty,
| Murphy stepped out for himself and
won his first big race at I'nlontown.
Pa., in 1218. I.ater the same year
another victory on the same track
and one at Elgin. Ill . firmly estab
