WASHINGTON. April 24.-Representative
Jason Brown. of seymour. returned to
Washington to-day. and will be- at the
Riggs for several weeks. He will visit the
Pension Once to-porrow and ascertain
what Is to be done in the way OF ~reorgsniz-
ing pension boards throughout the coun-
try, anu Indiana especially.
"Itis the understanding" said Mr.. Brown
10 the Journal correspondent that there
are tn be pension examining boards at all
OF the county seats in Indiana. OF courss,
we want them. but it Will be necessary for
bis rules governing the appointment Of
members Of pension boards before
we can give every county seat a
board. We cannot find the physIcIans
who come mp 10 all the requirements and
are willing 20 accept the places. Not every
physician Is willing TO become an examin-
ing pension expert. for the duties are ex-
acting and the pay small Ii is a great con-
venience for pension TO be able
TO 20 at any time to the county seat and
be examined. but IL il not an easy thing for
. Congressman Just now TO put his hands
npon Democratic physicians who come mp
&C. the standard of the Pension Office and
are willing TO undertake the work for the
meager pay. shall ask for q number OF
changes in the organization OF the boards
In my district. however,
lt trsnspires that the recent appoint
nlent of hughes East, OF lankton. :. d.,
formerly of Indiana. and Vice President
Hendricks old private secretary. tO-a
chiefship OF division IN the Department of
Agriculture. was charged To Indiana and
not to South Dakota. East had the NAM
ing of q minor officer under him last week.
and ho rave it to q Ho0sier. upon the
ground that Indiana was his old and future
home. Thus it appears that the recent Bit
ter protest against Easrs appointment
from South Dakota was unnecessary and
could not have had any influence. Mr..
last intends resuming his resideDce IN
Indiana when he leaves Washington.
