THE PENSION COMMISIONER
ON PENSION FRAUDS.

Claim Agoitu heveruly De-
nounced T ho hinpoiiillnii

Washington; Oct. 30 Commis-
sioner Lochrcn of the pousion bureau
In liis annual roport reviews tho case
ot Judge Long of the Michigan
supremo court at some length saying:
"Tllla cant but attrant.ml vlil 11L-
'tcntioh becauso of 'thu'faot that tho
pcnslonor Is ono of tho judges of tlio
supremo court of Michigan and has
upon tho rostrum and through tho
press unstintlngly donounced tho
bureau and myself for alloged arbi-
trary und illegal proceedings in tho
reduction of his pension und because
of tho suit Instigate! by him In this
district against myself to provent
such reductions.
"It Is quite clear that under uu
honest but mistaken Interpretation of
tho pension laws by prior commis-
sioners this pensioner has obtniued
from tho treasury more than $7000 to
which ho was nover lawfully I'ntitled.
Should ho make good his assertions
that ho will take this caso for decision
to tho supreme court of the United
States he may when it shall bo final-
ly decided considor tlio propriety of
roturnlng this money to tho tieasury."
Tho commissioner discusses the
work of special examiners which havo
bccu'':rilicIsod in congross and olso-
whore bavinir.
"Tlio report of tho chief of division
exhibits tlio character of its work.
Cases which have merit but in which
tho claimant has not been able to ob-
tain essential evidence with such in-
formation in respect to witnesses as
tho bureau can obtain havo been
nlnced In tho hands of snecial exam
iners who are often able to discover
nnd obtain tho evidonco necossary to
prove the claims. Tlio larger part of
tho forco is always kept employed in
this class of work. Hut the special
examination division aided as it is
by tho law division constitutes thu
main protection which tho gov-
ernment has against fraud and
imposition. Most of tho pension at-
torneys and claim agents aro capa-
ble and honorable but some among
them are thu most dishonest and un-
scrupulous of men dealing habitually
in perjury forgery nnd every specie
of fraud. Without special examiners
tho villany of such men would opor-
ato without check or fear of detec-
tion and bo generally succosssul.
And it Is too often now in spite of all
safeguards. Such men attract tho
unworthy as clients tho bounty
jumpers cowards and deserters and
the fraudulent roaligners.
"As many of their crimes aro discov-
ered their fraudulent cases over-
thrown and themselves and their
guilty confederates brought to pun-
ishment by the work of special ex-
iwiincrs (there were 104 convictions
for pousion frauds last year) it is but
natural that such men and their
clients should be loud and uncoaiing
in decrying special examiners as
spies and seeking with tho aid of un-
scrupulous partisan newspapers and
politicians to croate a prejudice
against special examiners in the minds
of deserving pensioner und others.
Tho worthy and deserving soldiers
who are still modest in tho mco for
pensions aro elbowed to the rear by
th unworty In their continued strug-
gle for pensions and Increases as
when operating for bounties. They
crowd themselves to the front at nil
soldier's gathering! with resolutions
for more pensions and denunciations
of every regulation tending to un-
mask dishonesty and fraud as "un-
friendly to the soldlor." Their insat-
iable greed and detestation of all
resolutions made to insure honesty
and restrain or discover fraud shame-
lessly proclaimed has done much to
lower the regard which would other-
wise bo universally manifested for
tho deserving soldier. It haI been
reported that the attempt to u .aoavep
frauds is a new movement and credit
been given me in that direction to
which I am not fairly entitled."
The provision placed 00 the pen-
sion appropriation bill December.;.!.

from suspending pensions uutil
fraud had actually boor established
tho commissioner says has beon car-
ried nut but with no advantage to

"Tho effect of this provision is to
take from thu olliccrs of this burea u
tho power to intorforo where: thoy
plainly see thn treasury bolng plun-
dered by tho fraudulent and un-
worthy. I could cite numberless in-
stances of ponsloncrs having no title

pension widows who havo remarried
continued to draw ponslons and all
tnnnnor of fraudulent and illegal
pensions whoro tho troasury would
continue to bo plundered for a tlmo

this bureau who because of that
provision were rendered powerless

THE SUGAR TRUST AQAIN.
It Is Acctned of Trylnc to lluy Up the
Watlilncton Correspondents.
Washington Oct 30. Tlio Kvonlng
Star publUhos the following story
which gives promise of nn outcomo of
Interest to tho public:
"If current reports are true there
is a. syndicate writer in New York
whose name is to be found at the
foot of articles published In many
cities of the union who may have a
very unploasant quarter of an hour
with the Washington correspondents
boforo tho next session of congress
shall end. Tho story has reached
here vouched for by authority that
would seem to bo credible that
ono of the Incidents of the
sugar trust campaign in Washington
last winter was the raising of a purso
by the sugar trust people to be given
to this intercstiuir correspondent to
bo distributed in Washington among
the press people whero it would do
the inot good In tho opinion of those
who furnished tho inonev. And that
placo was tho pocket of those repre-
sentatives of the press of the country
here who with or without right are
supposed to have inllunnce in congress
and in tho making of public opinion
throughout the country. There are
intimations gvon that the tqen who.
furmshod tho monoy did so under
the impression that it was to be
distribute pro rata among the
representatives of tho press in Wash.
lngton in tne expectation that the
comments upon the operations of the
sugar trust would bo either leu .c-
vere or that they would be altogether
withheld. It is of course assumed
that the distributor of this fund was
torecolve bis commission. There are
intimations even that a list was" far-
nlshcd of the names of correspondents
to whom this fund was to be distrib
uted and that tho expectation ws
that it would be expended in patt ia
issuer in cart in ntbar ways that
Vf'"?' V- tj appreciated uy tnoso lor
whom It was tntende I.
"If there is nnvthlnir in this storv
ii Is safe to say that not ono dollnr at
this alleged fund evur passed to tho
Correspondents for whom It Is repre-
sented tliut it was doslgned. The
man who undertook to disburse this
fund did so with the full knowledge
that it would not be safo for him to
approach any of the gentlemen whose
names may havo appeared on this pre-
tended list for any such purposo what-
ever. He not only cannot bo on ro-
tations of confidence w'.th them but
ho never calls upon any of them when
in Washington.
"Efforts are being made to ascer-
tain the truth of this roport. and If it
shall bo found truo somo of the cor-
respondents Intend that ho will hoar
tnoro later possibly in tho courts and
probably before a committee of in
vestigation."
