The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1893-09-06

At the annual encampment Of the
Grand Army of the Republic last year
at Washington, d. c., Col. 1. N. Walker
of this city was made chairman Of the
G.. A. r.
This committee. after a close scrutiny
of the pension question so dear to the
heart of the veteran of the republic has
formulated it's report, which will be sub
mitted during the approaching session Of
the national encampment in this city.
In this report the committee will forci-
bly, demand that there shall be no fur
Their proceedings against the pensioner
without there shall first be furnished
prima facie evidence of fraud. When
this is formally and fully supplied the
pensioner shall be vouchsafed the I'M
qualified privilege of knowing the exact
character Of the charges preferred
against him, the name of his accusers,
and then be granted the right to be
heard in his own defense.
This much of the committees report
is really the outgrowth of the action
taken by G. A. r. post Of Pittsburg,
which, in defense of one of its members,
the payment of whose pension has been
suspended by the commissioner at Wash
ington, instituted injunction proceedings
in the federal court for the Western dis
trict of Pennsylvania based upon the
legal assumption that the commissioner
Of pensioners, after a pension claim has
been passed to issue and the name Of
the applicant has been placed upon the
rolls, has no power to suspend the pay
ment of the pension, erase the name of
the pensioner from the records of the
pension office or in any other way nullify
the grant which has once been made,
unless the prescribed pensioner shall be
allowed the right, as in ali the caurts of
high or low degree, to a full and un-
trammeled defense.
1t is an assured thing that the pension
question will form a very important
and momentous subject for the consider
alton of the coming national meeting of
the veteran soldiers and that its dis
cussion will develop into one of large
force and extent.
That the matter OF the suspension of
pensions has been, particularly of recent
date, closely considered by the depart
ment at Washington is evidenced by a
telegram from Congressman A. n. Mar
tin received by the Hon. Thomas Tag
CART Thursday. On Wednesday Mr.. Mar
tin had n conference with Pension Com
missioner Lochren and asked the COM
missioner to issue an order revoking
the suspension Of pensions. The entire
field Of Official action in the premises
was thoroughly canvassed, and yester-
day forenoon Mr.. Martin was notified
that the suspensions would be pretty
generally revoked. This will have the
effect Of restoring to the pension rolls
the names Of the larger number OF those
pensioners who have hitherto been
dropped. The Hon. A. N. Martin is
chairman of the house committee on in
valid pensions.

Mr.. Pickert is responsible for the ar
rangement Of the lighting and the dis
play pieces, while Messrs. Trip and Nc
Cutcheon devote their efforts to the
technical details Around the balus-
trade at the top of the shaft a triple
corona of light will be cast down on the
shaft and up toward Miss Indiana"
Back of the first astragal windows will
be placed electric reflectors, throwing
into bold relief the dates. Down toward
earth a girdle of lamps encircles the
monument and serves as an Introduction
to the display below, where the navy as
tragal is to be placed. In the center of
the panel on the south side an immense
American flag outlined in lamps of ap-
proprfate colors seems to wave as though
it were floating in the wind. Delicate
rippleS of light run constantly over the
surface of the flag and make one forget
that it is not waving in the air. This
device is controlled by a very intricate
switch moved by a tiny electric motor
which throws the current on and off the
lamps. producing alternate waves Of
light and darkness. producing the flut-
tering effect.
As background to the four lion heads

colors and below the heads runs a sec

ambulances will enter into the parade

given at the emergency hospital until

moved to a permanent place.
DR.. Hubbell, who has charge OF the
work here. has been connected with the
Red Cross work for a score of years
and his experience in the United States
has been varied and extensive. He as
sisted materially during the great forest
fires which devastated so much Of
northern Michigan and rendered home
less SO many thousands of people in
1880. Then during the Ohio and Mis-
the epidemic known as. the Virginia
plague broke out, the Red Cross society
with Miss Clara Barton at its head and
DR., Hubbell as her right hand man,
was active in the field. Through the
terrors Of the Charleston earthquake,
the Mt. Vernon Qllinois) cyclone. the
yellow fever in Florida, the famine in
Texas, the Johnstown food and the
Iowa cyclone, the Greek cross forming
the brassard of this society, floating
above his headquarters, gave notice to
suffering humanity that DR.. Hubbell
was at hand and perfect organization
OF the most perfect Of all human So
cieties was performing its perfect work.
Again in 1892, when famine was de-
poulating the interior of Russia and the
scourge was doing its deadly work DR..
Hubbell was the first to go from this
country and was at Riga to receive the
Tynehead, which bore a cargo of pro-
visions sent from Iowa for the starving
subjects of the car. Or. Hubbell
labored there for some months and when
he was preparing to return to his ma
tive country was presented with a sill
yer wine service by the car in recogni-
ton of his valuable services.
DR.. Hubbell is a graduate of the
University Of Michigan and was for
four years professor of natural science
in Dansbury, n. Y. He has seen much
Of the world. In 1887 he was the gov
eminent delegate 10 the conference to
Carisruhe and to Rome this year.

largest was the train from the East

sections. The posts arriving on that
train comprised members from some OF

regular trains and others came in as pas

Congressman George w. Fithian of
Illinois, the new chairman OF the COM
mittee on merchant marine and fisheries,
has prepared a bill which will receive
a favorable report from his committee
providing for the admission to American
registry OF ships built in foreign eoun-
tries. The position which Congressman
Fithian and a majority OF his committee
will take is that 1t is folly 10 attempt
to restore our merchant marine
by government bounties, and that the
only manner in which the flag Of the
United States can secure it's fair share
OF the growing trade OF the world is to
admit free TO American registry ships
built I'm foreign countries.

secure the adoption Of the resolution
OF which he gave notice yesterday.

of prominence this week except the con-
tinuation and conclusion Of the debate

May Appeal to the Courts.

1t is believed that Davenport will ap-
peal to the courts to decide the right Of
the administration to eject him from the
offices heretofore occupied in the New
York postoffice building but it is expect
ed by the democrats that before he can
possibly get any favorable action in the
courts the bill viii have passed both
houses Of congress and have been signed
by the president, repeating in toto the
section OF the law creating a federal
supervisor of election and under which
Mr.. Davenport has operated for many
wears
