Sumed at midnight, but latest advices from

How BIS Ruling on Pensions Would
Have Worked.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.--A prominent
official Of the interior department., speaking
to-day Of Commissioner Tanners order of
April l5 advancing all pensions to $4 per
month which had been previously below that
hgure, SAID that Tanners order was simply
the substitution Of his will for the clear
provisions Of the law, aud If it had been per-
mitted 70 stand, its principle might have been
extended 30 as 20 cut both ways; PEN
sioners might be dropped from the rolls bv
a similar order, OF pensions of higher
grade might be raised or lowered at the
caprice OF the commissioner. An extended
analysis of how such a precedent might
work If permitted TO be established is made
public, from which IL appears that there
would be no safeguard for either the pen
sloner or the public treasury.
