ONE HrNDRhD MILLIONS STOLEN.

Commissioner of Pensions Bentley now eSti-
mates that the total cost of the Arrears of
Pensions" act will not be less than
800, OCO, 900. New CLAIMS are still coming
forward since July / at the rate of 600 pei
MONTH OF the entire expenditure under this
act, it is believed by the Commissioner that
not less than 10 per cent is based upon fraud.
Others think that the proportion is much
higl er, and it may be said that those who have
the best opportunity to get an inkne OF the
operations of the PcnAon-claims ring usually
make the highest estimates as to the proportion
of claims that are really fraudulent. But if the
proportion is 30 Der cent, the sheer robbery
under this act will amount to $500, 100000. OF
the remaining sum, which goes nominally to
persons whose claims are not fraudulent, II
considerable proportion also finds its nay to the
pockets of are ITS, j0bbers, lobbyists, and the
members who may have a share in their profits.
UnhaDpily, there is only too much reason to
believe that a large proportion Of the claims
are fraudulent. The Commissioner states that
about 80 per cent of those filed are detected
and diSallowed But the number OF live pend
ing claims, filed before June 80, 1880, was
over. 2S2 600 There is the evidence of the
Commissioner himself to support the belief that
the Office has not the power to detect nearly all
the fraudulent claims made. For ne SAYS that
/" it il impossible to estimate with any degree
" of accuracy the amount paid out upon fraud
ulent CLAIMS that the only basis of calculation
is the number OF those which, "almost always
"by accdcat,n are already "discoycred TO be
"actual frauds; that these discoveries already
made lead to the belief that &" not less than 10
"per cent of the annual pensions is fTaudu-
lently obtained aud that the amount is more
"lkely to be more than less" 1t is extremely
improbable. indeed considering the secret and
er partC manner in which claims are prepared
under the law as it now stands, that fraudulent
claims should be so stupidity aud bungliugly
prepared that over tlree-qudrtcrs Of them
should be detected. There is IL strong prob
ability, in the natnTc OF things, that more
forged papers or peIjured certificates "s'ape
detection than are detected. The Commissioner
fully admits the inability OF lis Office to cope
says in q recent statement published by The
HcrGld:
The testimony is prepared in secret, a. it were By the
claimant or somebody III his behalf The Government
officers have acquaintance with the pension Claimant
or his witnesses The medical examinations are made,
for part by the peghbOThOpd practitioner aud
ofentimes he is family physician OF the claimant
and receives a small fee for each examination. IL
will readily be that The opportunity which this al
lords TO tue pension claimant to pcrperate fraud
upon Government Is equal to his interest and the in
teres OF the examining surgeon. VINO as SAID before IS
