has improperly secured information ana

proper person to be permitted to practice De-
fore this Office"
FAC SMILE OF cooPERs SIGNATURE.
Before closing the letter called attention to
another matter. namely, letter received some
months ago from Henry Holt Of Indianapolis
stating that Marring, Slusher 4 Co., early in
1889. had had printed about 10000 congress
sional slips made in imitation OF pension office
congressional call slips, on which was fac
simile of the signature Of Mr.. Cooper. printed
with his consent and approval The letter also
said that in 1899 these calls from MarrIng and
Slusher on Mr.. Cooper's slips became so nuner-
Gus that Gen. Black directed they be thrown in
the waste basket Under Commissioner Tanner
about 5000 of them were received, and Mr..
that Marring and Slusher be directed to cease
using the slips.
REPRESENTED OTHER MEMBERS.
After Mr.. Raum had stated something a. to
what was in these papers they not having been
read to the committee) several questions were
asked about them. and Mr.. Enloe inquired if
Hersey represented himself to be the employe
OF any member of Congress besides Mr.. Cooper.
The commissioner said yes; that Hersey also
said he was the private secretary Of Mr. Brook
shire OF Indiana and Mr.. Gantz Of Ohio Mr..
Enloe asked next how it was that the examiner
had looked into only the matter Of the cases Of
Mr.. Cooper, one of the prosecutors Of the in
vestigatlon. The commissioner said his atten-
ton had been especially called to Mr.. Cooper's
slips BY Mr.. Whittinghill and ex-Representa-
tive Williams He had received no evidence
such as he had in Mr.. Cooper's case that Her
sey was using the slips of Messrs. Brookshire
and Gantz in an improper way.
10 Mr.. DUNCAN Mr.. Raum admitted that he
had heard Of Hersey's doings some time ago,
but said he had only recently secured all the
evidence.
Mr. Payson said the papers showed an abuse
OF the congressional privilege and he thought
1t the duty of Congress to prohibit members OF
Congress from using congressional slips In the
way they did.
The hearing then closed as Mr.. Payson had
to attend an argument in court
Chairman Wheeler. after the hearing, said
he thought the investigation would have one
good effect in doing away with congressional
interference with the pension office work. He
thought Congress was responsible during the
session for an expense of about Il, 900 day in
running the pension office.
