their plants. Thomas f. Harvey, pro-

line.
During the time the members of the
committee were at the White house
they threshed over the whole pension
policy, the discussion comprehending
the laws governing the system, the rul-
ings made both by the interior depart
ment and the pension bureau for their
execution and changes desired in the
interest of the government and of the
pensioners. The president paid unusual
attention to the delegation and gave
free expression to his views on the sub
ject. Later the body returned to the
pension bureau. where they spent most
of the afternoon talking over matters
informally with the commissioners. All
the old soldiers and soldiers widows
employed in the office were called to-
gether to meet the committee, before
whom they passed in line and exchanged
friendly salutations. Late this after
noon a final meeting of the committee
was held in the hotel quarters when in
dividuaI views and recommendations
were presented and an informal consult
alton held as to the nature. of the report
to be made. This document will be pre-
sented at the Philadelphia annual en-
campment of the G. A r. in September
Pending the report Colonel Johnson, the
committees spokesman, and his col
leagues declined absolutely to discuss
their work or the result of their inquiry.
1t was admitted, however, that much
which had been printed concerning the
action of the bureau has been found
untrue The examination of the files
has shown a lack of foundation for |
many complaints that have formed the |
basis of criticism.

CHANGES IN W4R RETENUE ACT.
1t May be Extended in Several Direc-
ttOns-MOre Revenue Wanted.

Washington, July 13.-It is altogeth-
er probable that the next annual re-
port of the internal revenue bureau will
recommend number of changes in the
war revenue act. In the main the law
has worked satisfactorily and has pro-
duced almost exactly the amount esti-
mated by the commission. This, how
ever, was something less than that es-
timated by congress. The internal rev.
enue officials are of the opinion that the
law might properly be extended in GER
tain directions without becoming at all
burdensome to the public and in a way
to produce considerable revenue. One
of the propositions now under consid
Grafton is to assess a tax on the sale
or rental of all patent protected ar
ticles.

travention of the existing law against
such importation.

samoan Affairs at State Department.
Washington, July 13.-Herr Rose, the
German consul general at Samoa dur
ing the recent exciting events there, ar
rived in Washington unexpectedly to-
day and reported to the German en-
bassy. Ambassador Holleben was about
to start for New York to meeting Mr..
Mumm the official who has come on
from Berlin to act as charge d'affaires
this summer, but before his departure
he accompanied Herr Rose to the state
department and presented him to Secre-
tary Hay and Assistant Secretary Hill.
This gave an opportunity for a rather
extended conference on Samoan affairs,
in the course of which Herr Rose de-
Tended his views of many of the Incl
dents in which Admiral Kautz and the
various other officials at Samoa were
concerned. The period of Herr Roses
service covered also the conten-
ton over Chief Justice Chambers
decision as to the right of Malietoa to
the throne of Samoa and tho
clash with the natives following the
questions raised as to this decision.
Herr Rose presented his version of
these incidents quite fully. He will
remain here for several days before GO
ing to Berlin. His visit to Washington
Is said to have no special significance,
further than to meet the officials of the
German embassy and the state depart |
nent. Herr Rose brought word that |
The work of the commission might be |
beyond the 14th instant, |
when they had hoped to sail on the |
Badger.
