What the Lottery WIN DO and wnI Not Do.
The news fakirs having tired of setting
up imaginary lottery schemes in Nicara-
qua, changed their field of operation. The
following was recently sent over the
country, among other papers the Brook

HONDURAS REJECTS THE LOTTERY.

PENSION APPROPRIATIONS.
More Money Required Than at First sup
posed.

More Money Required Than at First sup
posed.
The belief prevails among many sena-
tors that the house has cut the appropria-
tons for pensions below the absolute re-
quirements of the law, and it is probable
that the total appropriation carried by
the pension bill will be swelled by sew
eral million dollars when it is returned to
the house by the senate. Commissioner
Raum, in submitting estimates OF the
amount required to pay pensions during
the next fiscal year, placed the snm at
1900, GOO. The house committee cut
Sl3,000O00 from this estimate, leaving
the total appropriation 1874, 0O0,0 00 The
reason assigned for this reduction was
the belief of the committee,
grounded on a careful scrutiny of the
workings of the pension office, that at the
end OF the present fiscal year there would
remain unexpended from the general ap-
preparation So 100000. AS this surplus
would be available to supplement the ap-
preparations of next year, it was held that
these appropriations could well be
reduced by an amount nearly cor
responding TO the surplus. But
that action was taken by the house COM
mittee many weeks ago and meantime the
pension Office has been working along
with much diligence and has paid SO
many pensions that the senators have
come to the conclusion that the surplus
which will be left at the end of the pres
emit year will be near s., 100000 which, if
true, would oblige the senate
to add nearly $l0,009,OO0 to the
total of the pension bill as it came
from the house. 1t is possible. with a
view of fixing the appropriation as nearly
as possible at the requirements of the pen
sion bureau, that the pension appropria-
ton bill will be allowed foreman Enacted
on In the senate committee on appropria-
tons until the end of the fiscal year is

WASHINGTON, April Thames p. Nor
gan, the Bloomington lind. attorney, tes-
titled before the Raum committee that the
whole. correspondence with Cooper
was a decoy to entrap him.
There are great many dis
crepancies in witness statements. Yes
terday afternoon he asked to be excused,
and testified that he had received tele-
gram from his wife saving her sickness had
become more serious; but he was COM
PEELED to admit that he had come to the
committee room direct from the train and
that he had not received any telegram.
]. P. Greenewalt, special examiner In
the pension Office, denied that the COM
missioner had directed him to connect Mr..
Cooper with the slips matter; said he had
left out of the dispositions he took nothing
that he thought material, and denied that
he had excluded from the dispositions of
Mr.. Peet or any other persons statements
because they tended 10 exonerate Mr.
Cooper.
The committee adopted a resolution
calling the attention of the secretary of tue
interior to the extraordinary character OF
the testimony of Mr.. Morgan, but making
no recommendation.

were used. 1t had been stated, Mr..
Cooper said, that 40, 1000 call slips had
been printed in his name, whereas the
printer testified that only 5000 had
been printed. The witness produced

self had inclosed a sample congressional
call slip printed in Indiana to Commits
sioner Tanner, and called attention to it
and asked II it were proper or improper
for hin to give permission to Marlng d
Slusher TO use them. Commissioner
Tanners reply said, Most assuredly the
slips cannot 60, and that the office could
not permit the printing presses all over
the country to send out these slips. Mr..
Cooper next put in letter directing Mar
ing & Slusher to discontinue using the
slips.
In the house Mr.. Cooper rose TO a per-
sonal explanation relative to the testimony
taken by the Raum investigating commit
tee. He was proceeding to criticise the
action of the pension office, when he was
interrupted by Mr.. Lind Mimi with
point of order He said it was not only
In bad taste, but was against every rule OF
courtesy and decency and against the
rules of the house TO discuss an issue
which was now being investigated BY
special committee. 1t was out of order
for the gentleman 20 take up and review
ex parte letters and statements rejecting
on the action of the bureau.
After some little discussion Mr.. Cooper
was allowed to proceed but had not gone
far when he entered upon a criticism of
Commissioner Raum and was called to
order by Mr.. Hopkins Ill.). He spoke
few more sentences and made an allusion
to ''spies and creatures" of Commissioner
Raum and was again called to order by
Mr.. Burrows Mich and again by Mr..
Johnson CInd.). Mr.. Cooper proceeded
with his statement, however, but he pro-
ceeded over corduroy road. At each
step he encountered opposition, and the
speaker finally said that the gentleman's
remarks were more largely addressed to
assailinQ Commissioner Raum than to an
swering any charges made against him
self Mr.. Cooper was then allowed TO
proceed without further interruption.

1920 NEW YoRK-AvR.. n. W.,
WASHINGTON. ID. c., April 16.


Concerning the investigation of Raum
and Representative Cooper's connection
with it this mornings New York World
says editorially:
Congressman Cooper was last year the most
active OF Raum's investigators. This year
Raum has sought to ruin Cooper by connect
ing him falsely with dishonorsble transactions.
For that purpose he has brought to Washing
ton perjurer, Morgan, who has broken down
under cross-examination and told the whole
story of the pension Office conspiracy to de-
fame Mr.. Cooper. Ii is story so shameful
that under prosecution il ought to send every
body connected with il TO jail 1t is the story OF
conspiracy organized by one of Raum's
trusted agents to entrap the congressman with
decoy letters into false seeming OF dishonor-
able conduct, to break down an honorable pub
lie career and ruin the life of q man in re-
vengs for his activity in the discharge of Q
public duty. These facts were on Thursday
brought to the attention of the administration
by a resolution approved by the whole inves-
tigating committee, republicans and demo-
Gratis. What is tho president going TO DO about
it? and how long is he going to wait before do
ing it?'
In the pension Office investigation today
Mr. Mccullough, a clerk in the pension
Office, testified that il was a matter OF gem
eral talk in the pension Office that John
Raum, the commissioners son, had an
unusually large number OF the earlier
cases taken up on the completed files or
der but said he had no information on the
subject of his own knowledge.
John B. Peyton testified that he had
heard that he bad been discharged from
the pension office for offensive partisan
ship, in aiding the democratic party in
getting up their campaign book and neg
lectiug his duty Witness denied that the
charges were true, as his record would
show. He complained that Secretary
Noble had testified that he never dis
missed persons without giving them an
opportunity TO answer charges when he
(Peyton) had never been permitted to re-
flute the charges made.
