1t was recommended by the Commits
SiOner OF Pensions, IN his report upon this
issue, that no change or modification be
made in this order unless it be to still fur
ther restrict the privilege of personal ex-
animation, by attorneys, of papers in pen
sion claims.
To this Mr.. Davis most vigorously dis
sents. He points out to the Commissioner
the fact that the rules in force from 1873 to
1876-and to which reference was made
by the COmmissioner-were enacted un-
der conditions which do not now exist
there being then no special examinations
as now. The evidence obtained was ex-
parte, and often of confidential nature
Mr.. Davis asserts that a proper con-
structiOn of the Commissioners order has
continually received the recognition and
support OF his predecessors as well as the
sanction and approval of the Department
But it is manifest that this order has
been of late miscOnstrued, since il is made
to- exclude from inspection all reports of
Special Examiners, while the order en-
braces alone those reports which relate
alone to criminal charges and inVestiga-
tons.
The prime object of special examina
ton is to obtain the material facts for or
against the parties az interest by a full
and impartial investigation which shall
be devoid of either bias or prejudice
The Special Examiner is neither at
torney Tor the claimant nor the Govern
ment. His mission is to give the claim
mt every opportunity to supply the evi-
dence necessary to complete his claim.
The claimant is entitled to be present, to
be represented by an attorney, and to
cross-examine witnesses if he desires.
He has an absolute right to hear every
word of testimony, whether favorable or
unfavorable. 1t is a right which can
neither be denied nor abridged.
But ordinarily it is impossible for the
claimant to be present. He must waive
this right as the examination proceeds
from place to place, nor can he well Sc
cure an attorney to follow the investiga-
ton
Therefore, in a large majority of the
cases rejection oliows the testimony thus
procured. The claimant has not seen
this testimony. He does not know the
nature OF the evidence that leads to the
rejection of his claim. How, then, Mr.
The National tribune., 1898-09-08

Davis holds, can the claimants request
or that of his authorized attorney, TO see
this evidence, be lawfully or Justly de-
MED?
Such denial has greatly increased the
number OF appeals filed, and the Assistant
Secretary concludes by holding the
present practice Of the Pension Bu-
reau in denying to claimants or their
authorized attorneys the right to examine
the evidence obtained by Special Ex-
aminers, except that relating to criminal
charges and investigations" is unjust to
claimants and unwarranted by law.
All orders or instructions which have
the effect Of denying the right in question
are, by the Assistant Secretary's direc-
ton, to be revoked.

Two Men Try tn Rob n snIoon In Charge or .
Woman-Poiiceman DisEraced.
CHICAGO. Ill. Jan. 26.-Two men attempted to
hold up and rob Mrs. William K. Stermer in her
husbands saloon on Twenty-eighth place last
night. One of the robbers levelled a revolver at
Expressman E. G. Cox, who was in the saloon
at the time. Cox sprang at the robber and
wrcsted his revolver from him. At this the first
robber ran from the place. Cox fired three shots
at him. none of which took effect, Cox's pris-
oner made q desperate attempt to get loose, but
Cox succeeded finally in throwing his man to the
floor. Meantime the shots and Mrs. Stermer's
cries had attracted the attention Of passersby
and tho police we're notified. A patrol wagon
WAS sent to the saloon. and Cox and his prisoner
were taken to the station.
Patrolman Frank Murray Of the Grand Cross
ing police station was discharged from the force
by the Trial Board yesterday. Murray was ac-
cused of holding up two men at Cottage Grove
avenue. near Seventy-first street, last week,
though tho charge OF which he was found guilty
was conduct unbecoming an officer"

GERRY SOCIETY GUARANTEED.
A Child with Scarlet Fever Was Temporarily
mt Its HeAdQnartera.

Mrs. Mary Herne of 557 West Fifty-seventh
street went to the Yorkville Court yesterday
and asked Magistrate Cornell to order the Gerry
society to deliver her 13-year-old daughter, Clara.
to her.
The girl, she said. had been held by the Gerry
society as a witness against William Jones, who
was sentenced in Special Sessions on Monday 10
one month in the penitentiary for indecent be-
havior to the girl, with whose mother he had
been boarding.
When the Magistrate said he would grant
Mrs. Herne's request, Agent Dimond OF the
Gerry society replied that such an order could
not be carried out for at least ten days, as the
rooms OF the society were under quarantine,
and Clara Herne was among the quarantined
children. He said that q woman carrying a
child went to the rooms OF the society. at Fourth
avenue and East Twenty-third street. on Tues
day, and after the child had been there for some
time il was discovered that 1t had scarlet fever.
After the little patient had been transferred
to the Willard Parker Hospital. at the foot OF
East Sixteenth street, the rooms were fumi-
gated and the children were put In quarantine.
Mrs. Herne. who was accompanied by a law
yer, left court unwillinRly without the order for
her daughter. She said last night that her child
was still. with the Gerry society. At the socie'
tvs headquarters II was said that no notification
had been given to the clerks in charge that q
quarantine existed, and that they were receiv-
ing and releasing children under the same con-
diIions as usual,

PROF. AGAssIz TO MOVE OUT.
Assessments Drive Him from NaasaohusettS to
q Rhode Island Residence.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 26.-Prof. Alexander
Agassiz, probably the largest taxpayer of this
city, has asked officially to be placed upon the
voting list of Newport, r. I. He pays a tax on
$3.50 900 worth of personal property. Including
a large bulk OF Calumet and Hecla mining stock.
of which he is President. The general belief 10
that the principal cause Of the removal to an
other State is a disagreement with the local
as. essors.
Prof. Agassiz's influence, as one OF the heaviest
Taxpayers, was illustrated a few years ago
when tho city Of Cambridge was. considering a
municipal lighting plant. Prof. Agassiz was
opposed to this step. and his associates in the
Calumet and Hecla office in Cambridge, worked
hard to defeat the scheme. One of the argu-
ments used was that Prof. Agassiz would take
up his residence in Newport IL the step were
taken by the city. This argument and the
probable loss OF SO large an annual contribution
to the city treasury had great weight in de-
feRting the scheme.
Prof. Agassiz is no longer actively connected
with the Agassiz Museum at Harvard. His per-
Bonnl tax in Cambridge at the last assessment
was 81, $3.50. 25.

goat and a baby carriage. OF the two Tauby
chose the goat. and bought it for 81 90. Every
one said he had bought 1t dirt cheap. He left
the goat at a stable in Long Island City, and
called for 1t on Tuesday afternoon.
He was forced to meet a bill Of 81. $3.50
of which were for straps and part OF a blan-
ket eaten by the goat. He paid the bill
and started for the city, leading the goat by q
rope. All went comparatively well until the
goat reached East Thirty-fourth street. On
landing from the ferryboat 1t wound itself
around a pole. and when its indignant owner at
tempted to untangle it. buttcd him in the solar

rope and looked with meek eyes upon the scene.
At First avenue and Twenty-sixth street the

started to help Tauby haul 1t, dashed out ita
brains against n hydrant.
