MUST REFUND §750 10 OBTAIN RELEASE “J.W. Mellen Arraigned in Con- Enection With Getting Funds 3 for Disabled Veterans. iy Special Dispatch to The Star. =~ PITTSBURGH, Pa., November 12.— PR James W. Mellen, chairman of the Disabled Veterans' Society, With headquarters _at 1013 15th street, Washington; D. C., who was arrested here Wednesday on complaints of having collected large sums of money from: President Harding, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and many United States senators and representatives for his organization, at a hearing be- fore Magistrate Sweeney today was told if he would make restitution of the money collected here he would * be released. Three Probes Under Way. Three separate investigations have heen started, the police declared to- day, for the purpose of determining whether the soclety is legitimate, and to find what is being dome with the money collected from men of na- tional affairs and from industries in Washington, Indianapolis and this ty. It was made known that a fed- eral, state and city investigation was under way. Mellen, the police say. collected $750 from prominent people of this vity. It was testified that Mellen, fter collecting the money in this vity, ent it to Samuel Lovenbein, secretary _and treasurer of the so- ciety in Washington. When Mellen was taken in custody he had in his possession letters of recommendation from Secretary of the Treasury Mel- lon_and United States Senator James 1. Watson of Indlana. Since Mellen's arrest Secretary Mellon and Senator Watson requested that their letters of recommendation be seized by the detective. Mellen denied that the society which he represented, as far as he knew, was not legitimate. “When I secure a contribution 1 send the money to Lovenbein, in Washington,” Mellen declared. ~“If the society is not on the square, then the proper thing to do is to get Lovenbein,” Mellen said. “Refund_the money and quit your residence in_this city and I will re- lease you." Magistrate Sweeney said. STANDS UP FOR SOCIETY. Lovenbein Also Says Mellen Is Held for Not Having License. Samuel Lovenbein, mentioned in the Pittsburgh dispatch as local repre- sentative of the Veterans' Rellef So- ciety in Washington, last night de- nied. emphatically tme charges that the organization is a bogus one or that money collected has been mis- used. Loyenbein said he talked with Mellen over the long distance tele- phone yesterday and declared his colleague is being held there merely for soliciting funds for the society without & license. Mellen, Lovenbein declared, could have obtained his freedom yesterday morning by having the case dismissed, but he insisted that he be given a hearing on Tuesday in order “to ob- ain a square deal in Pittsburgh.” rding_to Lovenbein, Mellen is a veteran of the world war and was wounded. \ “The fact that we have been per- mitted to carry on our organization and publish our magazine here in Washington without interference from the authorities is the best proof against the charges made in Pitts- burgh,” said Lovenbein last night.
