The Unea~thsn& of Pension
Frauds Rs.&un.

WASHINGTON. May 12.-The reforms
of the new administration of the pension
bureau are taking {. decidedly practical
turn. Commissioner Lochren's special
examiners have unearthed one of the big
gest f, auds ever perpetrated upon the
government by dishonest pension attor-
ncys. w. r. Drury, Norfolk. Va, at
torney, has been arrested upon the
charge of forging the essential evidence
in at least $50 pension cases. all of which
have been allowed, and most of which
carried large arrears, which there is lit
tie prospect that the government will
recover. The total amount involved
exceeds 100000.
Drury's success in carrying on this gi-
gantic swindie was due to his collusion
with a notary public. named b. A. Rich
ardson, who occupied desk room in his
office, and whose notarial seal was used
to authenticate the forged afidavits on
which the claims were secured Richard

Money In Wall street.

New Workers are noted for being
scramblers after money. But they are
just as remarkable for the risks they
take with it when they get it. A man
went through Wall street to the ferry
one day last week with 500. 900 in the
pocket of his oyercoat. He had an UNI
brella in n hand and a cigar between
the fingers of the other. 1t would not
have required an expert pickpocket to
relieve him of his wealth. Yesterday Il lad
was sent to ii banking house to deposit a
certified check for So. 900. He went slon;
swinging it in his hand In front OF the
bank he stopped and tried to balance the
check on the end of his nose. No one
would have believed that what he Ind
was anything but ii worthless scrap of
paper.-New York Times.

Reclaiming Old Rubber.

Crude rubber Is worth from 40 10 -
cents per pound, and yet a pound Of hose

would be hardly practical if it We're not

of about 3 cents per pound. There are
several large factories in the country de-
voted solely to this purpose, and a great

small scale at the seat of the production
of new goods.
These old goods are placed in large
tanks at the place Of retaining. A So

whole set to boiling by a system of steam
pipes passing through the tank. After
