cluslvely 10 pension cases. At tho sittings OF thS
court the two associate judges they may be termed
bring 10 Presiding Justice Raums attention all TIC
more important cases that are passed upon IN tho
Pension Office and especially those involving the pay
men of largo amounts of money. The two subordinate
officers, who have thorough acquant-
ancs with pension matters, state briefly

ciusons certificate Of pension is granted. 1t is said
that this court does not delay the Issuance OF PENSIONS

than sign his name the certificates laid before him.
unless some special circumstance brought the matter
more closely to his attention.
There seems to be a great deal OF perpexty at tho
Pension Office and the Interior Department as TO the
proper course to pursue toward those employees whose
pensions were mrated. The commission when IN
yestlgaied the cases found, In many instances, thai
the employees were unquestionaby entitled 10 th'
Increased rate OF pension, but that the method by
which the reratings were secured was irregular anu
Characterized by undue haste.
As the claims were just. even II rushed through
tbe Office It Is not believed that the pensloree can
be called upon to refund the money received, Ih.r;

employees because of their haste IN pushing their own
claims through. but from official sources 10 Is learned
that nothing will be determined upon until after Cen

conference II is expected that at this conference
tbe question will also be brought up as TO what
course shall be pursued In the cases OF those empioye
whose pensions the commission reported were reratet

compel the return Of the money, or cease flrthe'
payment Of pension until full reimbursement -
