JUDGE LONGS CASE.

The C0mmlssloner OF Pensions Can Review
His Prsdscsssors' Acts.
WASHINGTON, June THE pension
case of Judge Charles d. Long. of
Michigan. which has been before the
local courts In one form or another for
some time, was finally determined yes
terday by the court OF appeals, the
commissioner of pensions coming out
victorious. though the probabilities are
that the case will now be taken to the
supreme court OF the United States.
About year ago Commissioner Of PEN
sions Lochren caused the pension of
Judge Long TO be reduced from SIS to $50
per month Subsequently the case
came before Judge Bradley, Of the dis
trict supreme court, and he decided In
effect that the commissioner OF PEN
sions had no authority to reduce the
pension. The court Of appeals yester-
day reversed that decision, holding
that q pension Is not q vested right,
except In q very limited sense, as
shown by the act Of December I, 1898;
that the courts cannot interfere in
matters of this kind, and that the COM
missioner of pensions had perfect
right to review the acts of his prede-
cessors.
