WAshiNGroS, NOV. L.
General Raum, commissioner of pensions
Col. Butterheld, chief of the board Of re
view in the pension office, and Van Mater
chief Of the board of review, now constitute
. court whose Jurisdiction is confined ex.
clusively to pension cases. At the sittings
of this court tine two associate judges, u
they may be termed, bring to presiding JUS
tice Raum's after ton all the more importan,
cases passed upon in the pension Offices
These two subordinate officers have q
thorough acquaintance with pension matters,
and state briefly the facts and Law of each
case, and if Raum approves of their conclu-
sions the certificate of pension is granted.
1t 10 said that this court does not delay the
issuance Of pensions. There seems to be a
great deal of perplexity at the pension Office
and interior department rs to the proper
course to pursue toward those employed
whose pensions are re-rated.
The Commission which investigated the
cases, found many instances of employees who
were unquestonaoly entitled to an incre ased
rate of pension. The method by which re-
ratings we're secured of an irregular char
scter was by undue haste. As the claim /,
were just. il is not believed that the pensioner
can be calle upon to refund the money re-
ceived.
There is some talk of dismissing several
re-rated employees because of their haste in
pushing their own claims through. 1t is
learned that nothing can be determined upon
until after Rsum and Noble have another
conference.
