PENSION RE-RATINGs.

Senator Henderson Has Not Received Back
Money as Alleged by His Enemies.
special TO the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON. July 31.-It is likely that
here will be a new side to the Henderson
pension story within a day or two. Senator
Henderson has been absent from the coun-
try in Alaska ever since the reported issue
of his re-rated pension. Senator Mander-
sons most bitter newspaper critics have
had the decency to say that the re-rating
was done entirely without his solicitation,
but it has been positively asserted on sew
eral occasions that he left Washington
with q, 200 back pay in his pocket. This
part of the story is absolutely untrue. Sen
ator Henderson has hot yet received the
money which Is said to have been awarded
him. neither has he signed the receipt
which it is necessary to forward 10 the pen,
sion agent at Des Moines before he would
receive his back pay. In fact, he has mad
no opportunity to either receive or reJectit.
Result of a Weeks investigation.
To the Western Associated Press
WASHINGTON, July 31.-The commission
recently appointed by Secretary Noble to
investigate the alleged illegal re-ratings of
pensions by the Pension Bureau officials
has completed the first week of its labors.
The original order of Secretary Noble di-
rected that the investigation should cover
all operations of the bureau during the last
twelve months, but superficial examine
tion convinced the commission that the
labor involved in a searching examination
OF all cases adjudicated within that time
would occupy them at least six months,
and upon the tacit understanding if not ex-
nressed direction of the Secretary the COM
missioners have thus far confined their
work to the months of December in last
year and May in the present year. The ex-
animation covering these months Will PROB
ably be completed by next Saturday, or
early in the coming week, when report
will be made to Secretary Noble.
1t is learned from parties believed TO
have knowledge of the work of the COM
mission that during the month or December
last. under Commissioner Blacks admins
tration, there were found to have been
made about 800 reissues of pensions, and
during the month of May. under COmmls-
sioner Tanners. administration, about 800
reissues. These reissues cover all classes
known to pension laws, and include all
cases of re-rating, which, 1T is said, average
from 3 to per cent of the whole number OF
reissues Therefore. the re-ratings found
In these months Will probably aggregate
less than 200. 1t is stated that the re-rat-
ings probably do not average more than
from 81 to "a per month, but the arrears in
many cases are carried back to the date OF
the original application. so far as 1t mas
gone. the investigation Is believed to have
convinced the commission that there has
been a gradual increase in the number OF
PENSIONS re-rated since late in the summer
or early in the fall of last year. 1t Is con-
fidently asserted that the commission have
discovered nothing whatever of sensa.
tional character, either in the number OF
re-ratings or the amount of money In
vOlyed.
