sw1ndling Pension CLAIM Agents

HenSlOn CLAIM Agents.
WASHINGTON, March l5.-In the SEN
ate to day Mr., Plumb sent to the clerk S
desk and had read a letter written by a
Washington firm of pension claim agents
to a Kansas ex-soldier, saying that some
time ago they had written to him asking
to be allowed to take his pension claim to
congress, and had not heard from him In
reply; that they were conversant with his
claim, and believed that if properly pre-
scented congress would not refuse a special
pension; that their fee was $25, of which
SO was payable in advance; that S63
special pension bills were passed by the
last congress, and q still larger number
would probably be passed by the present
congress; that this was the best time for
the presentation of cases to congress, as
the country was on the eve of a presiden-
tial election. and parties and individuals
were on their metal to make a record.
Plumb expressed the belief that large
amounts were being obtained through
such representations, although the writers
could render no service whatever. Not
only would an attorney not be permitted
to appear before the pension committee,
but he could perform no useful service
whatever with special pension cases. 1t
was an outrage putting it mildly for
men to be imposed upon in that way. He
asked that the pension committee take
the letter and consider it and make a re-
port to the senate, so that such swindling
of ex-soldiers should not be continued.
After further discussion lin which Mr..
Dolph referred to q claim agents agree
ment which he had seen to receive IS per
cent Of the amount of direct tax to be
refunded to a certain state.) the letter
was referred to the committee on pen
sions.
