PENSION OFFICE CHANGES.
Useless Detail in Adjusting Claims Abol.
iShed.

fshed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Two radical
changes in the procedure Of the pension
Office have been made All claims for
increase, save in extraordinary cases,
hereafter will be sent direct to the
medical division of the bureau without
having to be passed upon by the board
of review as has been the custom for
years. This action is taken on the
ground that the bulk of increase cases
involve only the medical act and that
much routine detail in going through
other channels of review will be saved.
Another step in the simplifcation and
quicker adjudication Of claims is that
hereafter there will be no necessity for
cases before the board Of review being
passed upon by three cr four examiners.
This has been the practice, but Com
missioner Murphy has fixed the num-
ber Of the examiners who must rcview
each claim at two.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 5.-The Germania
bank, a state institution capitalized at
100000, with liabilities of over ST.
100000, did not open for business in
the morning. Heavy Withdrawals for
several days was the cause. The sus-
pension of the Germania caused runs
on several other banks and at 2 o'clock
the Allemannia and West Side banks
had closed their doors. The former is
capitalized at 100000 and the latter at
100000. The suspension of the Ger
mania and Allemannia banks caused
Of run, as is always the
case, on the savings banks. These in-
stitutions paid all demands for time
and then required depositors to give
