Among the old stories about John
Chamberlin, revamped since his death,
is one that bears on the stiff prices that
ruled in his restaurant. A young man
who was going to a theater party went
into Chamberlin's and was tempted to
order stake and onions, but he hesitated
because of his subsequent engagement.
Have no fear, my friend,' said his
dinner companion ''Just go right ahead
and have your steak and onions. When
you get your bill for the meal you have
ordered it will take your breath away"

PosTDATED A VOUCHER.
Pension Official Removed for violat-

Fenslon Olt1clai Removed Tor vlolat-

Rudolph Schwtckardi, No. 1913 g street
northwest, who has long been regarded as
one of the most tried and trustworthy
officials in the Pension Office, was de-
tected in postdating a pension voucher, and
suinniariIy dismissed from the government
service.
Schwickardi was also notary public OF
his division, and thus enabled to accomplish.
the deed. The especial end which was
TO be gained in postdating the voucher was,
1t Is stated, to Oblige a friend and TO
enable The pens!oner to negotiate a loan
OH the money, which could be- collected
by The owner of the voucher on September
4, which is pension day. The business
OF discounting vouchers was for long
time source of immense revenue to mauy
INSCRIPTIONS persons, who preyed upon The
needy pensioners. The executed vouchers
would be accepted by saloon keepers or by
money-lenders at a figure FAR below their
value and held until pension day, when
the, entire sum would be obtained.
In order to protect pensioners and the
office stringent laws were passed making
it an offense for any one TO postdate a
voucher.
A friend, who was In need OF ready money.
applied to Schwickardi last Thursday and
he might get loan on it. The official
finally yielded to hts friends entreaties
and thereby committed a criminal offense.
Since Commissioner Murphy has been in
charge of the Pension Department he has
instituted system OF checking records
which enables the officials to trace in q
few minutes any irregularity in the work
ings OF the office. The party to whom the
right to collect the pension money Tad
been given in consideration OF n cash pay
ment less than the face value OF the voucher
on pension day was unfamiliar with the
system pursued by those who deal In such
merchandise, and Immediately mailed the
executed voucher to the Department. In
due course of time it reached the office.
Commissioner Murphy Immediately saw
that something was wrong. Although the
4th of September had not yet come, the
voucher bore that date. After an examina-
tion, Schwickardi was dismissed from the
government service For this offeDsc
tine OF $500, or u period of imprison-
ment ranging from one to three years is
provided by law.
Commissioner Murphy said last night
that although the mans Intent was, per-
baps, not crim ual, yet ne could notoricially
Judge the intent by the act. He thoughtthat
Scbwickardi had been already sufficiently
punished. aud did not think that n prose-
cution would be resorted TO.
