A Review by the Authorities.

The city authorities are not at all fright
ered at the advance of the several armies
now traversing the country in the direction
Of Washington. 1t has been pretty gener-
ally agreed that no objection will be made
to the entrance Of the Coxeyites to the city
so long as they are peaceable and well be-
haVed. All persons suspected of being dan
gerous or vicious characters will be arrested
ana locked up, however, just as similar per-
sons are received at the time of an inaugu-
ration. The citizens, however, may be as
be maintained here at all hazards, and no
robustness on the part of the mob will be
tolerated for a moment
Said member of the police department
to Star reporter today: This Coxey
movement has become a serious affair. The
problem Is a difficult one and 1t is hard to
tell just what to do. BY the time Coxey
reaches here / think he will have fully
1900 men in line He will probably remain
here a month. and all that time delegations
and swell the number.
It's policy for them to come" he added
Some provision for feeding them will have
to be made. and that will be more than
some OF them are getting now. Even II
Coxey should go to Congress and then de-
sert his army of peace, some one, perhaps
an anarchist, will take charge and make an
army of war Of 1t. The possibilities are
numerous. and 1t Is really difficult matter
to deal with. In other sections along the
route of the army's march they have been
fed and showed along, because the people
wanted to get rid of them, but when they
reach their destination things will be
changed. The men will not be showed
along so easily, but will want to remain
here.
Yes" he concluded, there is not much
joking about the matter now, but serious
consideration is necessary"

THIRTY DAYS NOTICE

Attorney General Olney Gives an I'm

Acting Secre tary of the Interior Sims this

II, lS.S. In IL 1t is held that the act applies
to every pension granted 10y the office. and
declaring 1t mandatory duty of the COM
missioner TO give thirty days notice even
In cases where fraud is admitted.
The opinion was made at the request of
Secretary Smith. who was recently asked
for instruction as to the Interpretation by
Commissioner Lochren. 1t was cited that
there are hundreds of suspended pensions
involved in frauds at Norfolk, Va, in New
Mexico and Iowa
Many of these are confessedly based on
perjury and forged testimony, while in
practically all there is strong presumptiye
evidence of fraud. All the evidence in these
mas not been submitted, and the commits
sloner stated that If the act applies TO pen
sions granted upon forged or fraudulent
papers the United States must pay out large
sums OF money in these cases. without hope
