WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Representative
Henry U. Johnson. of Indiana, to-day Of
fered a joint resolution providing that In
cases where written charges or informa-
ton have been or may hereafter be made
by letter or otherwise tending TO defeat the
granting of pension. or TO the continue
ton of pension already granted. upon any
ground whatever. which are deemed sufi-
cient by the Pension Bureau to warrant an
Investigation the Commissioner of Pen
sions shall in all such cases. before an in
vestigation is made Of such charges or in
formation. furnish to the applicant or pen
sioner. as the case may be, copy of such
charges or information. together with the
rame OF the person or persons making the
same. and such applicant or pensioner
shall be given an opportunity to be heard
respecting such charges or information.
and that no charges or information shall
be considered unless in writing and signed
by the person or persons making the same.
Mr.. Johnson asked unanimous consent for
its reading and consideration by the House.
but Mr. Martin. also of Indiana, objected.
Under the rules the resolution. without be-
ing read was referred to the pension COM
mittee OF which Mr.. Martin is chairman.
This means that the resolution will be
smothered.
Mr. Johnson said of his resolution to
your correspondent: 'It is believed by
many soldiers that personal enemies and
those hostile TO pensions have secretly in
terfered with the adjudication of their
claims and ii is also believed that certain
public officers and servants of this admin
istration have been charged, as a part of
their duty to act as spies and informanTs
on the old soldiers. This resolution gives
the soldier the right that is accorded to
everyone in all civilized governments-the
right to be heard when accused of an Of
Tense. There is not a court. high or low,
IN all Christendom but what will give an ac-
cused an inspection or copy Of the charges
against him and an opportunity TO meet
his accuser and witnesses against him
face to face; and there is not an order or
lodge among civilized men but what &C
cords it's members the same rights, yet 1t
is left to this great government TO pounce
upon the old soldier, if he were a pub
lie leper and suspect, and try charges
against him involving his rights and per-
sonal honor without notice or an
opportunity to be heard. 1t may
be said 1t was the practice of
former administrations to secretly IN.
vestigate charges in pension cases, yet
as ii was the policy of former administra-
tons TO put soldiers on the roll. while 1t
seems to be the policy of this administra-
ton to put them off. Let the practice De
what it may. 1t is but fair and just, when
trial to give him an opportunity TO be
heard before Judgment.
