JUDGE LONGS CASE.
A Maudnnus Granted Against Pension
Commissioner Lochrrn.


A Maulninus Granted Against peu,lon
Commissioner Lochrrn.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. 20.-Judge
Bradley, OF the District supreme court,
to-day granted the mandamus asked for
by Judge Charles D. Long, OF Michigan,
to compel Commissioner Lochren, Of
the pension bureau, 70 restore the for.
mer rating of SIC per month to the
plaintiff. The mandamus against Sec.
reiary Smith asked for by Judge Long,
was denied as unnecessary.
Three questions were involved In tho
case, whether Commissioner Tanner
was justified in issuing the certificates
giving Judge Long S72 month rating,
whether the commissioner OF pension.
is empowered to review aud reverse the
action OF his predecessor upon the same
state OF facts, for alleged error in iudg-
ment to change the status OF the relator
on the pension rolls and to revoke his
pension certificate, and whether the
court has the power by maudamus to
direct the commissions, 10 yaca,e his
order OF revocation.
The disabilities OF Judge Long. said
tho court in reviewing the case. are SO
permanent and total as 10 require the
regular personal aid and attendance OF
another person, the class for which
Congress, fixed rating OF S72a mouth.
The action OF Com missioner Lochren in
revoking Judge Longs certificates, it
was held, was illegal, and his clear duty,
therefore. the court said. Is TO revoke
that order, restore the former rating
from the present rating OF $50 n month
and enforce continuance Of such larger
payment Summing up tho case. Judge
Bradley held that the court had the
power By mandarin, to com pei the per.
Torrance OF that duty aud accordingly
granted the mandamus asked.

President Lewis further said in regard
