To the former tender my most sincere

have not yet settled, desire to say that
their IMMEDIATE ATTENTION is

Condemnlng his administration of the hrr-
reau. President Mckinley did not re-
move Mr. Evans because the commission
er was not in fault. Neither the laws nor
the rulings in regard to pensions are made
by Mr.. Evans.
The real grievance against Mr.. Evans
seems to be that he has DISQUALIFIED TOO
many pension attorneys and he has been
too Jealous iii trying to reach all often
ders against the law. The pensions nttnr-
neyS have been Instrumental in starting
many of the complaints against the ad-
ministration of the bureau.
But there is no Disgusting the fact that
the enemies of Commissioner Evans have
been able to create an intense opposition
TO him. and thai there will be an earnest
effort made TO have the national encamp-
ment again pass resolutions condemning
his administration and demanding his rc-
moval
The special committee appointed at the
last Cncampment to investigate the
charges made against Commissioner
Evans canne to Washington about two
months ago and had every facility for
their examination that they might learn
the truth regarding the conduct Of the
bureau. \ member of the committee
who was i'll Washington tOlay. said that
