WAsHINaToS, D. c., February 16.-Assist-
ant Secretary Bussey has written a letter to
the commissioner of pensions, again calling
attention to the questionable methods en-
ployed by a class of pension attorneys to
procure business for themselves. Reference
Is made to a particular class in which the
pensioner receives the highest pension OBJ
tainable under the law, and yet he is prom
ised an increase and is deceived in filing an
other application. 1t is the judgment of the
department, says the assistant secretary, that
these disreputable and illegitimate methods
should not be permitted among attorneys
who are TO practice before it. It being evil
dent that these attorneys take an advantage
of, and are guided by, the published list of
the names of persons who are allowed pen
sious, the assistant secretary suggests that
hereafter the postoffice addresses of pen
sioners be not given to the press and that
clerks in the pension bureau be prohibited
from disclosing to any one the name or ad-
dress of any pensioner or applicant for PEN
sion.
