WAsHINGrON, Sept. 9.-Deputy
Pension Commissioner Charles II.
Lincoln was today before the Raum
investigation coiiimittee. lie testi-
fled that the completed files system
recommended by Lemon did hot
commend itself to his Judgment.
Claimants without attorneys were
placed at a Disadvantage by it.
Probably less than ) per cent Of
the original claimants are with
out attorneys. An attorney might
secure considerable advantage in
time Of adjudication by certifying
claims complete when they were
not 50. Witness did not think any
particular attorney had been heno-
lifted by the order. The Washing
ton attorneys, as n whole, might
have been benefited for n time
because Of their location. he did not
believe the slightest degree Of par
TALLY or favoritism had been shown
by an officer or employe Of the pen
-ion bureau toward any attorney.
The order had given more sstisfac-
ton to the country at large than the
original plan and had considerably
expedited business, although some
injustice was worked, perhaps, to-
wants claimants without attorneys.
II. ROssbOcS, n mechanical en-
gineer, started in to tell how ne met
IN Memphis several years ago,
Frank a. Smith, who, he had been
told, was the pat=ntee Of the Uni

Cooper asked Smyser If he had
not told Lewis "a. member Of the

interest in the stock.
Smyser replied that he told Lewis
that while stock was entered in his
name. he did not own all Of It, but
represented gentlemen in Ohio.
There was n worry war between
Lewis and Snyser for some time.
