ner's order advancing pensions from
$500 to 81, 90 g month. The statement
shows that the pensions of 33 900 men
were rerated in q manner similar TO

unauthorized and unqualifiedly Illegal.
81 slight consideration of this matter
will show that to give away e66, 600 of
the public money on such an order as
this would be but the beginning of a
system by which millions could-be ex-
pended, uncontrolled by law, as It was
unauthorized by precedent. There
would be no more harm IN giving
Senator Henderson e. 600 than there
would be ia giving to 3S 900 men, $685.
600. In either case it would be an un-
authorized distribution Of the public
monies and the door to the treasury
might as well be open to actual invasion
as to have such warrants drawn upon
it TO be cashed with out questioning.
1t is also obvious that such course
as this would, not be of benefit to the
soldiers ultimately, as it is intended
only to benefit those who are the least
disabled. in other words. those who
have the least claim for disability. IF
one may judge that these men are to
be advanced upon mere opinion as TO
what should be the least amount of
pensions the others might justly claim
that their more severe wounds and dis
abilities were quite as uncompensated
as those of the less degree. In other
words, whenever the opinion of COM
missioner without investigation Is sub
stituted for actual examination as
to disability every mans pension is put
at risk either to be so exaggerated as
| that the government or people would
not allow it, or to be designated as that
nothing could be obtained. If you can
drop man who is receiving $500 per
month from the pension rolls on a

is mere question of whim or caprice.
1t is upon that it has been insisted
that the law should be adhered to and
weight. It must also be obvious in all
this that there is no expression, as
there is no disposition to prevent any
deserving soldier from acquiring al
the pension his disability entities him

being done is TO maintain the law t.

To Rescue Burke and cOughlin.


CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-The Daily News
prints sensational article this morn
ing alleging that desperate plot has
been discovered, having for its object
the rescue by fore, from Judge Nc
Connell's court, some day next weak,
of Martin Burke and Daniel Coughlin,
the Cronin suspects now awaiting trial
with o. Sullivan, Beggs and KunZe.
Rumors to the effect that such a move
had been considered were current some
| time ago, but States Attorney LOnge-
! neckeT paid no attention to them until
Wednesday, when ex-Sheriff Healey Of
Hancock, Michigan, asked permission
to see Coughlin in jail. This, the
News says. aroused Longencker's sus-
picion. He granted the request, but
had shadow on hand to listen
to the interview. Nothing was
| learned, however, as Healey
| Coughlin took pains to keep
away from tue vicinity of the
shadow. Several suspicious looking
| strangers have been observed in the
court room for few DAYS back, and
yesterday morning reporter discov-
| cred one of them drawing plan of
/ the court room and its approaches.
| When the man saw he was being OBJ
served he left the court room hurriedly.
| The News says the plan of the conspir-
ators was to be probably carried out
next Monday. when the prisoners were
returning to the court room from din
ner. The rescuing party would over
power the half-doZen bailiffs in the
room, make show of revolveIs. and
escort Coughlin and Burke to carriages
I which would be in waiting to carry
them away. The plot which the News
ascribes to the Gamma Gael. it says
was got up in the interest of COughlin
and Burke only. for the reason that
they and the two men who must be
saved at all hazards in order to prevent
their confessing and duplicating men
whose necks are thought to be worth
much more to the Clan. It is stated
| that Judge Longenecker has good
reason to believe the mysterious
strangers are Clan-na-Gael from Mich
| igan,, come here especially to assist in
| the attempt. Elaborate preparations
are being taken by the authorities to
prevent any surprises and all the the
L stl angers are being Swallowed.
