SECRETARY SMITH.
He Says It Is Wrong to Suppose Him
an Enemy of Pensions.

an Enemy of Pensions.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. - Secretary
Hoke Smith has made statement re-
garding his position upon the pension
question. Hs says he has often been
grossly misrepresented In this matter
and held responsible for acts about
which he knew nothing until they had
been committed. The secretary takes
as his text the decision rendered in the
pension case of Charles T. Bennett, a
private in Compady F. Thir teenth In
diana volunteers, which was the basis
upon which on important order was is
sued and about which SO much has been
said. Mr.. Smith also says that it is
wrong to suppose he is common ene-
my to pensiors. He actually and con-
scientiously believes that there have
crept upon the pension rolls through
one avenue or another, by various rul-
ings Of pension commissioners and the
work Of examiners ana Officers of the
pension bureau an enormous number OF
persons who were not entitled to PEN
sions.
"These are the ones ! am AFTER" de-
clared the secretary, land they are the
ones intend to weed out of the pension
list If they reduce the total number Of
pensions one half"
Referring to the order of Commits
sioner Lochren that pensioners whose
claims were not good upon the presenta-
tion made should be dropped from the
rolls for period of 60 days, when they
must make their claims good or suffer
permanent suspension. Secretary Smith
says that this action was taken while
he was absent from Washington, and
that lit
DID Not Meet His Approval.
He believed that whether there was au.
thority or not, pensioner after being

notice before being dropped. Secretary

forts to show that they were entitled Il
pensions. Many of those who were be

The secretary says it is great mistak
to suppose that he intended to decreas
pension expenditures by depriving thos
who were entitled TO pensions unde
the law OF their just rewards. He say
that he is not opposed to pensions. RI
ferring to the fact that quite q numbe
of pensioners who were dropped from
the rolls were being reinstated. the sec
retary states that all of them had ful
nished the required evidence and ha
flied in the links of the break in tl
