HE BORROWED IL.
Something About the Peculiar Meth
ods of Louis Menage of Min
neapolis.
He Fleeced the Guaranty Loan Com
pany and Others Out of Over
$1,500,000.
Assets of His Estate Summed Up as
collateral Security Mostly
Worthless.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. II. The schedules
of the assets and liabilities of Louis F.
Menage have been found in the files of
the clerk of the district court in Mime
apolis. They show the whole scheme of
plunder that Menage devised against the
company of which he was president. The
first items ON the schedules of liabilities
shows the personal Indebtedness of Mem
age to the Northwestern Guaranty Loan
company. These notes are always for
small amounts, but they are in great
number.
In the schedule all these notes are
labeled, secured by collateral security
with the N. g. L." No attempt is made
to define this collateral.
In November, 1892, Menage was the
debtor of the Guaranty company to the
extent of $161 $50, although not all of
this amount came directly out of the
Golfers of the company. Much of it was
money which was passed directly from
the pockets of the patrons of the COM
pany to Menage's bank account. AT that
time his enormous drain ON the company
began, and between that time and May
13, 1893, the financial pirate had in
creased his Indebtedness to the company
by $S23. 121. .49, making his total indebted
ness to the company on account of notes
and similar obligations 1894, ,691 40. The
amount that Streeter and Menage are
charged with stealing in the joint in
dictments brought against them is $685.
712.56.
But this amount of $993, 712.56 is only
a part of the total Indebtedness OF
Menage. That amount represents what
he got out of his company. There are
other,ite made up of moneys contri.
buted by other lambs from different
parts of the country.
The total liabilities are not footed uI
i'm the schedules, but they may be closely
approximated. Collected they are:
Claims of the Guaranty Loan com
pany. 1854, ,68i 40; claims of banks
corporations, ETC., $l63 1876; commercial
paper negotiated by Neher q Carpenter
$4,000; miscellaneous, $36, ,451.S4; con
tingent liabilities, 1926, 170.7s, making /
total of 81 $50, ,S00.11.
AS to the assets they may be largely
summed up as collateral security" ant
stocks in thousand different companies
of little or no value. The assets are o
no importance, for no one expected t.
get anything out of Menage's estate.

LOCHREN'S REPLY.
The Pension Commissioner Files His
Answer In the Judge Long
Case.
He Claims the Practice of Suspending
Pensions Dates Back to the
Year 1919.
Also That Being on the Pension Rolls
Is Not Right But
Privilege.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL. - Commis-
sioner Of Pensions Lochren filed his
answer in the mandmus proceedings in
stituted by Judge Charles d. Long of
Michigan. The latter was receiving
pension of $72 per month, which Com
missioner Lochren suspended on the
ground that Judge Long was not entitled
to total disability pension. The case
was brought into the district court of the
District of Columbia, the last proceed
ing being an order to Commissioner
Lochren to show cause why he should
not restore Judge Long to the
pension rolls. Commissioner Lochren
admits that Judge Long was legally
placed on the pension. rolls, but denies
that the certificate increasing the PEN
sion to $72 was regular or lawful. In
defending the right of the commissioner
to suspend pensions he asserts that it has
been the practice since 1919, when John
G. Calhoun, as secretary of war, in.
charge of pensions, exercised the right;
also that Secretary Chandler suspended
pensions in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey in 1875 on account of irregulari-
ties of the claim agents, and that the
same year standing order was adopted
regulating suspensions, reductions and
dropping from the rolls, and that such
action is departmental construction of
Legislation which is conclusive. The COM
missioner asserts that asserts that such
construction is revisable only by the
secretary of the interior and cannot be
restrained or controlled by any court,
Judge Long only remedy being an APP
peal to the secretary. Having ones
name on the pension roll, says the COM
missioner, does not
Constitute q Property Right,
but comprises the privilege of receiving
a bounty from the government, SO long
as that person, in the Judgment of the
commissioner, belongs to the class of
persons designated by congress
as the proper recipient of United
States bounty The issuance of
pension certificate is not conclusive
adjudication. but subject to review and
investigation. Such inves LEGATIONS must
be executive and not judicial. The COM
|
own or his predecessors action has been
conceded by Judge Long, and had been
invoked by him frequently, with final
| success.
He then gives in detail the appropria-
tions and amounts of the pension bureau
in the pension of Judge Long.
The commissioner says that the pen.
sion paid Judge Long is for total disabil.
ity, and that Judge Long is not disabled
but is drawing large salary from the
State of Michigan. The fact that Judge
Long did not appear before pension ex
amining board, so that his case might be
settled by the examiner, is reason why
the mandamus should be denied.
Further, this court has no jurisdiction
to grant mandamus, except to perform
a statutory act. Ii the order of the com
missioner is illegal, Judge Longs rem
