FRAUDULENT i. PENSIONS
Commissioner Loohren Writes a
Letter on the Subject.
THE OLD SOLDIERS NOT DISHONEST.

His Policy Is Not to Deprive Deserving
Veterans of Their just Dues but to
Chcckmate Those Who Were bounty
Jumpers-Praise for Secretary Smith.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Pension Com
missioner Lochren has written lengthy
letter to the editor of The National Tri-
bune on the subject of fraudulent pensions
lie says he has not complied with the edi-
tors request to cause n test to be made to
show the number of fraudulent pensions
by having 1000 cases drawn from the adj
mitted files and examined, for the reason
that frauds cannot be discovered in that
way.
The bogus pensions are obtained on
false and forged testimony. On the face
OF the papers such cases would probably
appear well established. No one claims
that the great mass of the adjudicated
cases are fraudulent. The commissioner
says he has too high an opinion of his old
comrades to believe that any large num-
Der of them are scOundrels He believes
that the pensions of soldiers who did
actual service, OH account of disabilities of
service, are unr ually honest and we'll de-
served.
No examination of this class is being
made except where evidence indicates a
fraud. 1t cannot be denied, however, that
among the true soldiers there were few
bounty jumpers and men who were no
credit to the army, and who have been
among the most eager to get high rating
on the pension roll.
Judge Lochren points out that local
frauds of large extent have been discov-
cred in Norfolk, New Mexico and Iowa,
the work of dishonest attorneys, but he
says attorneys are ordinarily honest and
careful. Evidence prompted by malice is
always rejected by the bureau.
The examination of June, 1890, cases
was made not because of fraud by the
claimant, but because an erroneous rule
had been adopted for adjudication by Com
missioner Raum. who directed that speci-
fed disabilities be rated under the act,
and thus it is in the Bennett case, the ca
pncity of the applicant to perform manual
labor was not considered. Thus the law
was clearly disregarded. A board of re-
vision was therefore, appointed to re-ex-
anime and Gull out such cases as had no
legal basis to rest OH.
The departments ruling was but re-
affirmation Of n decision by Assistant Sec
rotary Bussey, rendered last january, con-
dcmning Commissioner Raum's ruling.
Judge Lochren concludes by assuring his
old comrades that they will receive every
thing which the law, most literally con-
strued, entities them. The board of re.
vision is composed mostly of Republicans,
but they are able and fair men, and no
cases are suspended until examined by
these men, against whom partisan leaders
cannot well make assaults. The commits
sioncr adds That Secretary Smith has been
more liberal toward pensioners than his
subordinates. the commissioner included

SEIZED The COUNTY RECORDS.
A County Seat Controversy Settled by
Force of Arms


WHEELING, w. Va, Aug 4-St George
has been the county seat of Tucker county
ever since its organization. Some time
ago. by vote of the people, the county
seat was removed to Parsons, n new town
ON the West Virginia Central railroad, not
far from Elkins. A new court house was
built, and by order of tho court next Mon
day was the day set for the removal Of
the county records There was reason to
believe that the citizens of ST. George
would resist the removal, so on Tuesday
night number of citizens conceived the
idea of stealing n march on the st. George
people by removing the records during the
night
Accordingly n company of 500 armed
men left Parsons to march acros, the
country to st. George. AS they were near
ing the old court house several shots were
hreu Mt them from ambush The road was
picketed all along, and only the darkness
OF the night protected them from the shots
that came from every side. Further along
dynamite cartridges were exploded in their
path. On several street corners were
squads of St. George citizens, armed with
Winchesters. The numbers of the record
relnoVers, however, must have awed them,
LOT they made no move at resistance. 1t
dld not take long to gain entrance to the
court house and take possession of the
records, which were loaded into wagons
and conveyed over the mountain road and
deposited in the new building at Parsons.
The matter is not ended, however, and
IL Is believed that the affair is the begin
nln9 OF feud which may result seriously.

has been brought about by the
introduction of CoTToLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery of this product, and the
demonstration Of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while it is we'll known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstain entire
~ from everything of that kind.
10 such people, CoTToLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range Of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CorToLENE
is a cooking marvel. 1t combines
with the food-imparts to it a
tempting color, a delicate flavor,
and an appetizing crispness.
No trace Of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the

The Children Robbed New York Flats OF
5000 Worth Of .IawelrY


NEW YORK, Aug. For some weeks
past the police have received complaints of
robberies committed in the neighborhood
of Third avenue and Seventy-ffth street
In broad daylight. Many of these rob.
berries were i'll flat houses. 1t was first
thought that organized gangs of exper-.
fenced crooks were operating, and so
cleverly was the work done, and so readily
did the thieves escape detection that three
flats were looted of jewelry to the value of
over 5000 within the space of three DAYS.
A dozen other flats were robbed of less
amounts. The other day the police were
nstounded after getting clew to find that
the thieves were two young girls. De-
tectives found that Kate Reynolds. aged
10, daughter of respectable iceman, and
Philippine Cooney, aged IL, daughter of a
well TO do widow, had pawned number
OF articles The two girls were arrested
TOR the robberies and confessed that they
had committed them. They watched flats
until they saw the tenants go out and
would then enter the apartments by means
OF false keys or by the fire escapes.
