“SPAN ISII DANCER”
Pola Negri Picture Closes Very Suc-
cessful Engagement at the Re-
gent Today
Pola Negri's latest
‘f'l‘he 'Spanish Dancer." which Y‘s
been at thc'chent theatre sin e
Monday. closes- its very successful
engagement here today and conclud-
cs its Norwalk run. The picflirc
will not be shown in this city again
and it behooves everyone who has
not already attended one of~ the
presentations at the Regent in the
past three days to get to the theatre
today before the final showing. No
small share of creditJor the interest
occasioned by the "Spanish Dancer”
has been due to the gypsy dance
prologue which has been put on at
the Regent each night by Miss Mll-
drcd Aller and eight of her dainty
dancing stars. The little girls have
won their way into the hearts of
Norwalk people by their clever exe-
cution. They have shown remark-
able talent and just as remarkable
training. This prologue will be pre-
sented for the last time this evening
at the 7 o’clock show.

‘WASHINGTON. Nov. 15. -—-Charles
R. Forbes passed the lie direct today‘
to two of his accusers—Brigadler
GeneraPCharIes E. Sawyer and Elias
H. Mortimer—and then charged
counsel for the Senate committee in-
vestigatnig the Veterans’ bureau
with suppressing material 'facts
which show his innocence.
Moreover. the former director of
the bureau. charged that witnesses
had been "brow beaten" into testi-
fying before the committee and as
serted that his counsel had the proof.
Charm Conspiracy.
Turning to Forbes' 'atto’rney. ’ames
. EasbyoSmith. John F. O'Ryan.
general counsel for the committee,
inquired if he was prepared to fur-
nish the evidence.
"I am if the committee desires to
hear it. " replied Mr. flashy-Smith.
“The committee certainly wants to
hear it."d declared Chairman Reed.
Opening the cross examination of
Forbes, General 0' Ryan wanted to
know who was in the "conspiracy"
to destroy him which the former a1-
rector had charged on yesterday was
on foot.
"Mortimer and J. M. Williams. a,
Philadelphia dairyman (who previ-
ously had testified) were two of the
conspirators and_ there were others.”
rcsponedd Forbes.
General 0’ Ryan then wanted to
know about Forbes“ charges of per-
jury and subornation of perjury.
Taking a paper from his pocket
Forbes read:
Perjurcd Testimony.
“I mean by perjury the testimony
of Mr. Mortimer. Mr. \Villiams and
others. By subornatlon of perjury. I
mean attempts which have come to
my knowledge to i‘luce other per-
sons to testify falsely.
“By suppression of material facts
and documents I mean the suppres-
sion of important documents which

sel for the committee and then learn-
ed that their testimony would their
dismissal after the counsel be fa~
vorable to me.
"My counsel will call some witnes-
scs on these matters and if the com-
mittee desires to hear further testi-
mony conceming'them my counsel
will furnish the names of other wit-
nesses to this committee."
“Sawyer Idea."
It. was during his cross examina-
tion that. Forbes said Dr. Sawyer
had “lied" on the witness stand.
General O'Ryan asked if Forbes be-
lieved that the ill feeling which had
existed and apparently still existed
between Forbes and Dr. Sawyer was
a motive for Dr. Sawyer's testimony.
"No indeed." said Forbes.
"Then you believe he was Just
mistaken?" General O‘Ryan.
"No, he's not mistaken.
lied."
"Then your idea is that he com-
milled perjury while here?"
“Call it what you like,” returned
Forbes.
' Long Cross Examination.
Forbes was again on the stand
throughout the day and his cross-
examination probably will not be
concluded until late tomorrow. Dur-
ing half of the time he was ques-
tioned by his counsel about the tes-
timony of Mortimer. a Philadelphia
coal dealer. which contained the
charges of corruption in connection
with hospital contracts and of drink-
ing “parties" in cities in the east
and west.
“It's a. lie," it's absolutely false."
"it’s'superb." were characterizations
frequently used by the former direc-
tor in denying details of Mortimer’s
story. Mortimer was seated with
counsel for the committee a short
distance away.
Forbesdenied flatly that he had
ever asked- Mortimer to loan him
money ‘or that Mortimer had ad~
vanced him 85.000 in $500‘bills in
the Drake hotel in Chicago or $1 000
or $1. 500 after the return from the
Pacific coast trip during the Slimmer

timer accqmpanied Forbes and his
official party.
“Lie!"
"That is absolutely a lie.” he said
of the charge that he received the
$500 bills at Chicago.
"He never loaned me a 'bean' nor
did I ever ask him for any.” the wit-
ness declared. ‘
Forbes was almost as equally em-'
phatic in denying that Mortimer or
anyone else had paid his expenses on
any trips. He said that instead of
Mortimer paying a hotel bill of
$27. 50v for him at the Ritz-Carlton
in Philadelphia. as had been charg—
ed. he paid a bill of that amount for
Mortimer when the Jmtel manag-
ment asked about the bill. Also he
denied he. had attended any
party at the Ritz-Carltomon that so-
casion. early in 1922. i
