Reasons Why He Suspended the
Pension of Judge Long, of
Michigan-The Latter's Fail
ure to Appear Before the
Board for Re-examination-
Gist Of the Answer.
Judge William Lochren, United States
commissioner of pensions, arrived in
Minneapolis yesterday morning.
Last night GLOBE reporter called on
Judge Lochren at his residence, 422
Tenth avenue southeast, and was cour-
teOuSiy invited in. In answer to the
question as to whether his present visit
had any particular significance. he re-
piled that he had simply returned home
from Washington to get his family, and
that he expects to go back there in the
course of week.
Judge" said the reporter, 81 sup
pose you have heard the rumor that the
Democratic party of Minnesota has the
desire to have you pose as its guberna-
torial candidates."
Yes, read it in one of the papers.
l have no political ambitions in that
direction"
Conversation then turned upon the
case of Charles d. Long, associate JUS
tice of the supreme court of Michigan,
whose pension was reported as having
been suspended blythe order Of Judge
Lochren. On this point Judge Lochreu
said
Judge Charles D. Long, of the Michi-
gan supreme court is drawing a pension
of S72 per month. Under the law apply
ing 10 cases like his-and | am frank to
say he is great sutferer-I hold he is
not entitled 10 this amount. In addition
to his other injuries he was wounded i'll
the hips. This has never healed, and is
constantly suppurating. Of course he
requires an attendant 10 dress his
wound, but not constantly, nor is he
absolutely helpless. Under the law, as
L understand II, to entitle person to
such pension he must be so disabled
as TO require the constant services
of an attendant. Now this is not the
case here. On this representation l
claimed he was not entitled to S72 per
month. l ordered a suspension pending
an examination. Judge Long was or
dered to appear before the medical
board at Flint, Mich, which he failed
TO do, although he claims not TO have
received the notice. He was then or
dered to appear before the medical
board at Detroit. The period for his
appearance there has not yet lapsed.
Some ten days ago his attorney, Col
Thomas 5. Hopkins. of Washington,
served on m e an order to show cause
why writ of mandamus should not
issue, and why the order TO suspend
payment should not be vacated. My an
swer has not been put in. 1t will be drawn
up by the attorney general. By stipu-
lation the matter of filing has been put
over until after Nov. 6, when it will be
filed. This Will contain the facts prac-
tlcally as | have stated them. My action
IN this matter is based on the practice of
the pension bureau since its commence
ment. 1t Is recognized by several acts
of congress. as well as sustained by the
decisions of the courts. Judge Long is
man of high standing. The pension
bureau is willing to grant him all that
is allowable to him under the laws

Another Morse Note.

Yesterday the case of Jonas F. Brown
against Eli B. Ames, in which the gen
uineness of Elisha Morse's signature to
an $4,000 note is in question, came up
before Judge Smith. The defendants
attorney stated to the jury that the gem
uineness of the signature of Elisha
Morse to the note and as to whether the
defendant, Ames, had sold the note to
Brown were the questions involved.
Elisha Morse was Oh the stand in the
afternoon, but his testimony brought
out nothing OF special interest, nor any
thing with which the public are not al
ready familiar, being practically the
same as that given by Mr.. Morse in the
famous So, 900 note case recently closed.

The Indicted Firemen.

The case against the Indicted firemen
was called in the criminal court yester-
day, with precisely the result predicted
in the GLOBE over a week ago. 1t was
stated at that time that Lou Fox. the
complaining witness, had left for parts
unknown, and such proved to be the
case. Further time was asked and
granted, and it is more than probable
that repetition will be witnessed of
the farcical proceedings before the
council. Either the indicted fremen
are innocent or guilty. and the question
arises, what is the city going to do about
it?

North Americans could ever have -four
ished in the lands he had discovered
ncross the Atlantic; that the highest
state of civilization should exist in the
new world where Columbus found only
savages.
Ihd duke considers himself fortunate
in having accepted the invitation of the
United State, as through the generosity
of the great people. and out of the
gratitude to the family of Columbus for
his discovery of the new world from
which event the United States have
been the principal gainers), the dilapi-
dated fortunes of the descendants of
Columbus are likely to lie repaired.
