The Alleged Pension Frauds.
from THE GLOBE DEMOCRAT.


In his annual message to Con-
gress in 1898, President Cleveland
declared that thousands of neigh
borhootls have their well-known
fraudulent pensioners, and recent
Developments establish appalling
conspiracics to accomplish pension
frauds This grave charge was
attended by the dropping Of sever
al thousands of names from the
pension rolls, without giving the
accused parties an opportunity Of
defense. Then a corps of over
fifty special examiners were ap-
pointed, at an expense of $40o, 600
Il year, to make thorough invcs-
tigation of all cases of alleged or
suspected fraud, and this work was
performed during the past year,
and the result is presented in the
report of the Pension Commission
cr. Nearly 5000 cases were cx-
amined, and 800 persons were re-
commended for prosecution. of
whom 1914 were convicted. The
persons convicted included twenty
notaries, thirty-two attorneys and
thirty-seven witnesses, and cigh-
teen impersonators of claimants and
eleven imposters were discovered.
But Of soldiers and soldiers
widows only thirty-nine were
found to. be guilty of fraud
upon the Government. That is to
say, in a list of 966, 900 pensioners
only one in about $4,000 turned
out to be dishonest; and this is all
the basis there was for Mr.. Cleve-
lands assertion that thousands Of
neighborhoods have their we'll
known fraudulent pensioners"
Those statistics deserve careful
attention, and should have the
effect Of putting stop to reckless
Democratic talk about the abuses
of the pension system. The pen
sion frauds are mostly perpetrated
by claim agents and persons who
were never in the army. 1t is not
by the men who fought for the
country that the Government is
robbed in this relation. The in
stances are very scarce in which a
soldier gets d pension without de-
serving it. This is the testimony
Of experts appointed by Demo
cratic Administration to make a
rigid investigation of the matter.
The cases of fraud discovered are
so few comparatively speaking,
that they do net have any serious
significance, Instead Of thousands
Of such leases. as claimed by the
President, his agents have not been

Two years ago the Democratic
county court of Jefferson county
raised the county treasurer's salary
from 500 to $500 Just before ap-
proving his bond. After the DEM
ocrats were turned down in that
county in November, the same
court became imbucd with the
spirit of economy, and when the
newly elected Republican treasurer
fled his bond the court refused to
approve it until the salary of the
Office had been placed back to 500.
Had the Democrats carried the
county nothing would have been
said about reducing the salary, but
as a Republican is to draw it for
the next two years the court
wanted to reduce it. However,
some Of tho Democratic politicians
seeing how inconsistent the court
was, and that to reduce the salary
now would be an admission that
the court was wrong in raising it
in the first place, prevailed upon it
to rescind the order and approve
the new treasurcr's bond. The
Republicans will now reduce the
salary themselves, as they had
passed:a resolution to that effect in
their county convention, and thus
the credit Of the saving will be
given to the party to which it
properly belongs.

WIN. q. IRWIN a Co, LTD, HONOLULU:
GENTLEMEN-The mill has been running dur.
ing the past two weeks, with the National
Cane Shredder lately installed, giving the
most satisfactory results
Our mill consists of three sets OF two roll
lers, 32 in. dia. 10y ~ in. long. the shredder
discs being #. in. long, driven by an
automatic engine IL in. dia cylinder by IA
in. stroke.
The Rattoon cane being milled Is as hard
rs il is possible for cane to be- having been
subjected to u severe drought during the
whole period of its growth, and growing on
land with trade wind exposure. Our ex-
perience with the Shredder, particularly with
above cane, proves il to be just what our
mills required, the shredded cane being better
prepared TO have its juice extracted than for
merly after passing through the first mill.
The first mill is now allowed TO open g-l6 in.
instead of y in. as formerly, so that the trash
now leaves the first mill, better ground, than
1T formerly did the second, and this without
the old timed groaning, choking, and strain-
ing of the machinery
Behind the first and second mills we apply
hot water, the quantity for the past " days,
as per statement attached has averaged 35
per cent. ON the total juice from the cane
The trash from the last mill is cut up much
finer than before the Shredder was applied,
mitch of 1t resembling saw dust, IL contains
as per statement 80 per cent. of moisture and
makes good fuel, the juice from the last mill
stands degrees BriX., that the moisture
in the trash Is of per cent sugar solution.
The Boilers make steam much easier than
before, now care has to I've taken To keep them
from blowing off, whereas before great care
was necessary to keep the steam from going
too low when the Pan was on.
By the use of the Shredder we have dis
pensed with six men, formerly necessary to
distribute the cane on the carrier feed the
first mill, and throw back the long pieces.
The Shredder Machinery is a good sub
stantial jon, and should cause little or no
trouble, as il is subjected to but light strains
You will see that by applying the Shred
der, our work in all departments has been
very materially mproved-obtaining a
ly. The great Improvement in our steam,
causes much satisfaction to those engaged in
the Mill.
Yours Respectfully,

CRUSHER


we beg TO draw the planters attentlt
the following advantages:
THE CRUSHER will cut the cane
transversely in pieces about inches
long and extract about 80 per cent. of
the juice apddeliver the crushed cane in
a uniform layer to the 3 roller mill,
thereby causing a perfect feed and in
creased extraction of juice.
THE CRUSHER will leave the "skin'
on the cane, thereby giving the juice a
better chance to he expelled than if the
cane was ripped open subjecting the
pulp to the hard packing on the retnrner
bar of the roller mill.
THE CRUSHER will save labor in
handling of the cane, as an irregular
distribution of cane on the carrier will
not materially effect the regular and
even feed to the 3 roller mill.
THE CRUSHER will not require adj
ditional steam or boiler power, as it has

Messrs. Honolulu Iron Works Co., DEAR
SIRs: We have been working the kraiewsk

without delay and with the mos sat sfactory
results from the start. our daily work has
increased from 60 clarihers to 81 CHARTERS 900
gallonsl with the same number OF labOrers as
we used before. Since we are using the Crusher
the extraction has increased considerably and
the trash leaves the roller mill d Ter than
formerly and make excellent fuel BY addiug
the Crusher we apprehended that our stesm.
ing capacity might be insufficient, but we find
that the Crusher and the three roller mill to
gether consume less power than did the 3 roll
er mill before alone. The extraction of the
Crusher amounts to 80 per cent of the juice
and the roller mill receives "A steady and
regular feed, thereby decreasing the risk o
breaking the roller shafts.

SIRs We have used the Crusher since the

The Crusher Is extracting 40 per cent. TO 10
per cent. OF the juice beside cutting the cane
in pieces five to six inches long and giving a
perfect, even and steady feed to the three

more work per day and could do much more II
our boiling house capacity would permit. We
are saving the labor of six men on the cane

Everything about the Crusher works
smooth and easy, and the amount of steam
Consumed is trtilng, as you may judge, for We
are running two engines for the three mills
and have steam to spare for the Boiling House

we are enabled to close down our mill IN ch
