GEN. HlNES ASKS
CONFIDENCE IN
VETS’ BUREAU
Compliments American
Legion for Co-opera-
lion—R u m 0 r s of
More Attacks
ST. PAUL. Minn; Sept. 16.——"Thc
United States veterans bureau has
been cleaned up, but it cannot take
another forward step unless public
confidence in our work is preserved
by a. cessation 'of turmoil and base-
less condemnation." declared Gen.
Frank T. Hines. director of the bu-
reau at the American Legion con-
vention yesterday.
Gen. liincs complimented the le-
gion for responding to his appear for
its "wilolehcartcd (co—operation." and
lending "ungrildingly active and
intelligent co-operation of the high—
est degregpf helpfulness."
"I think." he said. “that never be-
fore has it been so necessary for us
all to form a just and true apprecia-
tion of what has lately been accom-
plished and then to see to it. by every
means in our power. that the people
of the United States have an under-
standing knowicdge of the great
work that han been done for the
men disabled by service in time of
war.
“I find the air is at this moment
full of numors that attacks will
shortly again be made up the voter-
ans bureau. that propaganda of a
certain sort is in preparations for “St!
in aid of purposes not. at all connect-
ed with the interests of the service
men and that publicity campaigns
are projected in which it is intended
to drag out the mistaken and crros
of the past. before you and I put our
shoulders to the wheel and so to visit
.as it were, the sins of the fathers
upon the children. of third
i‘ourih generations."
“You and I know very well that
there was at one time something
amiss in the United Staicswetcruns‘
bureau—that until lately there was
always something wrong with tho ad
ministration of its soldiers rilivt‘.
The roots of those troubles lay for
back in the beginning “hen lllCSl'
government agencies were hastily or—
ganized under the stress of actual
war fare. imperfectly througilt out,
ed and illogically and spasmodically
developed intimes of peace."
Defending his administration, Gen.
Hines said: ,
“If it shall be said that there is
anything fundamentally wrong with
the veterans' bureau now such state-
ments shall be unturo.
foolish as to suggest that the admin‘
istration of veterans relief is now a
perfect thing; it never can be that
and never will; but we can say—for
it is truth itself—that an enormous
stride has been taken.
"All available government hospi-
tals facilities have been opened the
veterans of any war. occupation ex-
Spanish-American war, with out ask-
ing whether their ailmcnte were due
to services or not. or brought about
by their own misconduct. or not. so
long as the veteran is in need of hos-
pital treatment and the government
has the hospital to treat him in.
“We have solved the problem of
re-habitation. Up to July 1. 1921.
only five thousand men had been re-
habititated. Since then more than
75,000 have been rehabitated. over
60.000 0 fthem with in the past two
years and 40.000 others are in the
course of competition training."

known as the "world's bean king."
has vanished.
As a result of his disappearance,
his wholesale plant here. doing busi-
ness as Lewis E. Sands Company.
Inc.. and twenty-eight receiving sta-
tions and warehouses in this state
and scores of others throughout the
country yesterday for the first time'
stand idle. in compliance with an
order of his attorney. l
Liabilities of the company are said i
to exceed the assets by from $800,000
to 8500.000.
Rated a millionaire. bearing a
high reputation as a philanthropist.
civic . leader and churchmen and
recognized by election to bank
directoratcs for his business ability.
Sands, who vanished last Tuesday.
from small beginnings built up a
business that won for him world
wide distinction.
Bisc Reads Like Fiction.
Ills rise frail near poverty to
"world bean-king" has all the ele-
ments of fiction.
Lewis Sands was 15 years old when
his father left for parts unknown
and the burden bf supporting the
family fell upon him. He chose to
sort beans as his father had done.
'thn the \V’Orid “'ar broke out
the business was firmly intrenchcd.
It is reported that Sands made more
than a million dollars from allied
contracts. .
Record for Charitable Devotion.
During ills business career. Sands
has devoted himself almost entirely
to his own industry and it is believed
by friends here that the strain has
caused some form of mental distur-
bance. Sands gained for himself a.
record by his donations t charities
and institutions.
The Sands-corporation has done
an annual business of four or five
million dollars through branches in
many states. There are twenty-eight i
branches in this state. and the rest
the scattered through Michigan.
Massachusetts. Pennsylvania. Con-
necticut, Rilode Island. California
and other western states.
The company’s principal creditors
are banks in BOston. Philadelphia.
Rochester. “'averiy. Lockport and
Western cities. besides several bean
dealers throughout the country.
Announcement of the closing was
made by Sanford '1‘. Church. attor-
ney for Mr. Sands. He said no ac-
tion had been taken toward bank-
ruptcy. this depending on further
examination of the books and a
meeting of creditors.
"I am confident in the integrity of
Mr. Bands and believe his absence is
caused by a mind broken over finan-
cial worries." Mr. Church said. “A
preliminary examination of the -
company's books indicates that it. is
insolvent." ‘ .
