PENSION FRAUDS.
Captured Letters Indicate Collusion Be-
tween the Pension Agents
and Boards,


DUBUQUE, Ia, Oct. Especial Ex-
aminer Waite of the pension bureau
has filed the documents captured in
the famous tin box in Pension Agent
Van Louven's private Office at Lyman
Springs, la. These documents are
mostly 10 the form of correspondence,
discriminating upon lie face, between
Van Louven and certain boards of
medical examiners with whom he had
relations. Nearly all of the indict-
ments found against the pension attor-
ney are based on these letters. In all
about seven hundred papers are filed.
Some of these letters are to pension
claimants whom Van Louven advised
to decrease the members of the
boards in order to have their exami-
nations go Trough monthly" Others
are letters between the agent and
surgeons, in which terms are agreed to
for making, rating ard fixing mp the
papers in the case. 1t appears that
Van Louven gave claimants to under
stand that this payment of money was
the usual thing.
Some Of the documents show that
aifidavits as to physical disability were
bought at an average rate of abyut so
cents line. One letter makes an offer
to ply ician at Lincoln, Neb., to pay
$5 for an affidavit covering disease of
the stomach and heart disease. The
doctor sent the affidavit but demanded
$40 for it. The physician, whose name
is not revealed, has since left, testified
that he has made q large number of
atfidavits and that his price ranged
from So to $40. Affidavits were made
to cover nearly all the diseases known,
and in order to get the applicants be-
fore examination boards with whom
he was friendly printed forms were used
for affidavits and claimants were asked
to copy them in their hands and 81 IN
them. The men did not realize what
they were doing. The filing of the
papers is s',rprise to the public.

Judge Forbes OF Ithaca, for failure to
observe the order of the supreme
court to testify before the Ithica

a room where the freshmen were
holding a class supper. Judge
O'Brien in his opinion refused to

fed in the broadcast terms before the
jury that he had no connection what
ever with the crime, but when ques-
toned more in detail said that to an
swer the questions would tend to
criminate HIM. The court holds that
he was therefore not guilty of con-
tempt, but availed himself only of the
privilege of refusing to answer such
questions as might put him under sus-
plci0n and ultimately convict him.
He furthermore was not before the
immediate presence of the court, and
could not be found guilty of con-
tempt" Hhe decision of the oyer and
terminer judge and the general term
are therefore annulled.
