The Secretary Says He Has Been Woe

The Secretary Says He Has Been Woe.
fully misrepresentation Is Not Opposed
to Pensions, But Is Determined to Purge
the List of Fraudulent Claimants.
n WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. - Secretary
HOke Smith has made u statement re-
garding his position upon the pension
question. He says he has often been
grossly misrepresented in this mat
ter and held responsible for acts
about which he knew nothing
until they had been committed; and he
makes particular mention Of the case
OF Charles T. Bennett. private in Conn
pany F, Thirteenth Indiana volunteers.
upon which an. important order was
issued and about which so much has
been SAID.
Mr.. Smith says it is wrong to sup
pose he is common enemy to pensions.
He conscientiously believes there have
crept upon the pension rolls, through
one avenue or another, the names
of an enormous number of per-
sons who are not entitled to pen-
sions. These are the ones / am AFTER
declared the secretary, land they are
the ones intend to weed out of the
pension list, if they reduce the total
number of pensioners one-half .
Referring to the order of Commits
sioner Lochren, that pensioners whose
claims We're not good upon the pre-
sentation made should be dropped from
the rolls for a period Of sixty days,
when they must make their claims
good or suffer permanent suspension.
SecretarySmith says that this action was
taken when he was absent from Wash
ington, and that it did not meet his app
proval. He believed that pensioner,
after being once placed upon the
rolls, should have notice before
being dropped. Secretary Smith states
that his original idea in hav-
ing the list of suspects" pre-
pared was to have stricken from the
rolls those who had failed to present
prima facie evidence that they were
entitled to pensions. He believes that
investigation into all these cases will
lead to the discovery of much fraud,
and that fully half of those who have
not made prima facie cases will fail
in their efforts to show that they were
entitled to pensions.
Many of those who were being mott
fed that they must furnish new evi-
dence had SO little to stand upon that
they would make no effort whatever.
The secretary says it is great mistake
to. suppose that he intended to de.
crease pension expenditures by de.
priving those who were entitled to pen
sions under the law of their just re.
wards. Referring to the fact that
quite number of pensioners who were
dropped from the rolls were being re-
instated, the secretary said that all
Of them had furnished the required evi.
