PENSION CHECKS.
They Must Be Delivered to the PEN
Sioner in Person.

~ioner in Person.
w. p. Shaw. chief of the finance division
OF the pension bureau. had an interview
yesterday with Chief Wheeler of the post
office inspectors. He represented that of
the 1909 checks mailed to Baltimore for the
payment of dependent pensions 200 were
sent To four addresses. The pension author
tiles believed that these checks were being
shaved BY pension attorneys. They invoked
the aid of the postal inspectors Mr.. Shaw
was referred to Inspector King. chief of the
Baltimore division. He promised to submit
q written statement of the case.
This morning Commissioner of Pensions
Lochren sent a letter to Chief Wheeler
eayinS that a suspicious number of pen
sioners were having their checks mailed TO
the following addresses: \. P Lloyd, south
east cCrnsr of St. Paul and Saratoga
streets; c. w T. Vernon. No. los st. Paul
and No. ~ Cortland streets; W. +. w.
Ross. No. gH Cortland street and D. h.
AdreOn. No. rs North Calvert street. Judge
Lochren said that il was found that many
OF those whose addresses were given as
above were not to be found in the Balti-
more directory. He thought that the per-
sons whose names were given We're receiv-
ing improper benefits from the pensioners
As the United states pensions agent was
about TO make the quarterly payment OF
pensions. the commissioner requested that
Inspectors be detailed TO assist special pen
Sion examiners D M tUlleT. OtOTSe H.
SidhaIn and G. y. Haley in seeing that
rules 1T 10 18 of the postal guide Were
strictly enforced. Inspectors s. t. Hooton
and L. ". NaylOr were detailed on the
cage. The rules mentioned provide that no
mail from the pension office to pensioners
shall be deliy cred 10 any agent. attorney. or
20 any other than the pensioner or a mem
Der of his family. In the Baltimore case.
none of the checks will be delivered TO any
one but the proper addresses. and then
only upon iden jificatior.
Postmaster W. ". Johnson of Baltimore
was at the department this morning and
had a conference with the officials. Mr..
Vernon and sir Lloyd were also there.
They say that the reason the mail is adj
dressed 70 their places is for the conven-
ience Of the pensioners, many of whom are
ResfarinS folks The inspectors think that
these gentlemen make plausible argument
and are inclined to think that the suspic-
Ions of the pension bureau are groundless.
They admit though that the present way
of delivering mail opens a door to fraud.
II might allow OF dummies doubles. In
spectors HOOton and NaylOr leave this
evening for Baltimore, and the delivery of
mail Will be begun tomorrow.

Commissioner Ross Address.
Mr.. Ross said:
The District of Columbia has entertained
many distinguished public gatherings, but
it has never known such = enc as that
which / now have the honor. in the name
of the local municipality, to welcome to
the national capital.
For the first time in the history Of the
new world there assembled in one of
Its capitals Representatives of one of the
oldest and most honored of the learned pro-
fessions from all of the Americas.
1t Is fitting that in the District which de-
rived its name from that of the great dis
coverer. and that in the year set apart as
the one in which the nations may do honor
to his memory, the governments whose
existence was FASTENED by the results of
his genius and daring should send their
representatives to Pan-American conven-
ton.
1t is in keeping also with the spirit of the
age which has prompted this gathering Of
representative men that the delegates so
convened should meet not for individual
or national ACKNOWLEDGMENT, but for the
loftier purpose of extending the range of

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
The Grade Crossings Again.


Mr.. W. ]. Frizzell, writing to the Commits
sioners concerning the b. and .. railroad.
says:
1.-The daily newspapers OF August 81 re-
fer to your order of July u to the b. and
o. Railroad Company to replace it's fence.
&C, and a report thereon by your attorney
that no penalty attaches for a failure TO
comply. 1 am 10th to believe that your
learned attorney has made such report:
but, as to err is human, You viii allow me
to ask an Interpretation, of Section l6, art.
Y. page IL. of the Police Regulations, ap-
proved August S, 1892. which reads: When
ever the grade of a steam railway track is
approximately even with the adjacent sur
face, the line of road shall be securely
CLOSED on both sides with a substantial
fence &c. Section IL declares that every
owner conductor. engineer or manager.
&C. shall be equally responsible for any
violation of any provision OF said Article
y, while Section Is is follows: Every
person as aforesaid violating any of the
provisions Of this article. shall on couvic-
ton. be punished by fine of not less than
IS. nor more than 800 for each ofrense.'
ITO ordinary mortals this would seem TO
be a penalty of some magnitude. but TO
great corporation IL may signify nothing.
The present and past conduct OF the rail-
road officials presents a condition that af-
fects the souls and bodies and lives and
health and happiness OF many persons.
and II there is no penalty I think IL may
modestly be suggested that there should

1ard's Sensational Suit Recalled
No Plea Entered Yet.

Today is the last day In which the de-
PENDANT In the case of Madeline V. Pollard
against Representative VIM. c. II. Breckin-
ridge OF Kentucky, in which the plaintiff
Miss Pollard, claims $4,000 damages for ar
alleged breach Of promise on the part o.
the eloquent Congressman. has under the
rules of the court In which to enter his pies
or, what would be better understood out
side OF the legal profession, his answer &C
the claim for damages made by the fair
plaintin in the suit which she Instituted
against him In the Supreme Court of the
District on the 18th of last month
Owing to the fact that ordinarily I'm such
suits the plea or answer of the defendant
merely states that the defendant is not
guilty of the allegations contained I'm the
declaration Of the plaintiff, the defense to
be urged on behalf of Representative
Breckinridge viii probably not be known
until the case comes up on a trial before q
jury in the regular course Of events
Upon the filing Of the Defendants plea Of
not guilty the plaintiff would thereupon give
notice of a joinder of issue whereupon the
case would be placed upon the calendar of
the court for trial. when reached in its reg
uiar turn. in one Of the two circuit branches
OF the court.
The dockets OF both the Circuit Courts
are greatly crowded, and hence I'm no event
could the case be reached inside OF a years
time, and unless much greater progress
should be made in the hearing of cases the
case would hardly be reached much earlir
than two years from the joinder OF issue.
IL is. OF course. possible that the defend
ant in his plea today. may go much fur
ther IN his defense than to merely declare
that he is not guilty of the allegations
made by Miss Pollard. and may state the
grounds upon which he declares that ne IL
not guilty. But in elaborately stating tie
grounds of his defense he would thereby be
playing into the hands of the plaintiff 10
the extent of acquainting her with the ie-
Tense to be made at the trial
Hence, IL is not believed that the de-
PENDANT will go further than to formally
and briefly enter a plea Of not guilty. IL
has been thought by some that Representa-
tive Bleckinridge might. in his answer to-
day. plead tie constitutional exemption
from attachment in the suit. But as his
plea even If il should be sustained. and
there Is said to be some doubt attending his
right TO such exemption would m1ely
further prolong the hearing of the case by
necessitating the service of summons toan-
swer at time when Congress was mo- in
session. IL is not believed that the defnd-
ant will take advantage Of such a privilege.
In fact IL is claimed that such exemIrion
does not apply in civil suits.
