MRS. ROBERTS ASKS FOR JUSTICE.
summariIy Removed from the Pension Bureau
for ALLEGED Misconduct.

summarily Removed from the Pension Bureau
for ALLEGED Misconduct.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Allen of Nc
braska offered a resolution to-day calling on tho
Secretary of the Interior for a full. explicit, and
exact statement regarding tho removal of Mrs.
NJ. K Roberts from o clerkship in the Pension
Bureau In May last. Mr.. Allen read the petition
of Mrs. Roberts to the President, stating that
she was the widow of a Union officer, and was
appointed to a clerkship in the Interior Depart
ment during President Arthur's term; that
she had been summarily dismissed for mis-
conduct. but had never been informed of the
charges against her, although she had persist
emily demanded them; that the rumors among
her late associate clerks were that che had been
dismissed on account OF shocking moral delin-
quencies. so that, In effect, her dismissal brand
ed her as n depraved moral character. The con-
duct Of the Commissioner of Pensions. toward
her, she alleges. was arrogant and oyerbearing.
and that her case was ono of mingled cruelty
and Injustice. She therefore asks Justice from
the President.
Mr.. Allen also read a communication from
Mrs. Roberts to Secretary Bliss. asking for an
was given her, which was confined. she said. to
the question: Now, Mrs. Roberts. what have
you got to sayf She suggested that she could
not say anything until advised OF what she was
accused. and was. therefore. powerless to say
anything In cxculpation OF herself.
Mr.. Gallinger of New Hampshire said that the
case was not a new ono to him. but IL the Senate
engaged in that kind of work It would have
little time for it's other duties. The woman, he
said, was evidently q ready letter writer. but
the consideration of the resolution. and It went

It has been strenuously denied that the United

against the distribution of American ships Of
