PENSION FRAUDS DENIED.
Government Not victimized to Any
Great Extent.

Great Extent.
A Sensational story appeared this morn
ing in a New York paper, setting forth that
millions Of dollars were being lost to the
Government through pension frauds.
Commissioner Henry Clay Evans said
today that the story is without foundation
in fact, ard was coniured up by some dis
tempered mind from suggestions contained
in the erepor of the Commissioner of Pcnsi ,ns
eor the fiscal year ending June so, 1897
The cor,juding paragraph of this report
is as follows:
II respectfully recommend that n COM
plete list of all pensioners be published.
This would be particularly valuable for
the use Of the special examiners in the
field. Such publication should give tn.
ser-ice of the pensioner anu present resi-
dence."
This recommendation was male as a
precat Iionary measure, and not because
monster frauds existed or were Supposed
to exist. Once In a while the Pension Bu-
reau is defrauded by people who draw q
pension iI the name of a dead pensioner.
