Interstate Commerce Amendments.
The House committee on commerce to-
day decided to report two bills to amend
the interstate commerce law to meet the
supreme court decision in the celebrated
Counselman case, and Judge Gresham's
recent decision. The committee practi-
cally adopts the same bill which pro-
vides for complete immunity to witness
es testifying in regard to violations OF
law The Gresham decision is met in
the way pointed out by the judge, pro-
viding penalty for refusal to obey sum-
mons of committee.
To Discover Pension Frauds
The members of the Raum Investiga-
ting Committe have in contemplation the
framing of a bill to remedy some of the
defects found to exist in the present sys-
TEN of dealing with pension matters by
the Pension Bureau. A member of the
committee, who is himself veteran of
the late war, admits that there are per-
sons now fraudulently drawing pensions.
He proposes to have the names of all
persons drawing pensions publicly posted
in some conspicuous place in each locali-
ty. which will enable the deserving
pensioners to ascertain If any undesery
ing names are on the list.
