Political Enemy OF the Pension Com

Political Enemy OF the Pension Coinniis-
sioner Justifies the Bureau Management.
CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. Sept. 6-Col. II. b.
Case. tho southern mem Der Of G. A. r. 1nvesti-
eating Committee. appointed to investigate
the methods Of Commissioner Evans in con-
Quoting tho Pension Bureau, exonerates the
com m issioner. The men are bitter enemies
politically . i'd it was expected that Col. Case
would be especially alert to detect any flaws in
the administration Of the Pension office. The
individual opinion OF Col. Case was sent by
him to the chairman Of the committee. with
his request that II the committee did not en-
body his views in its report to the Grand
Army encampmept. the report should be sub
mitted as a minority report.
Col. Case concludes:
Il am OF the opinion that the time has come
when all soldiers OF the rebellion should be
placed on an equality with relation to public
lands, and the laws should be so amended
as to give the right to pre-empt a HON estead OF
100 acres to all honorably discharged soldiers
OF the war OF the rebellion. in any OF the public
lands still owned by the Government.
realize the great discomfort that prevails over
the pension laws they now exist. and am
fully convinced that the great cause OF
discomfort is to be found in the laws
themselves. The same spirit OF dissatis-
faction has arisen during the term OF
each and every chief OF the Pension Bureau
for several years. A Commission Of Pensions
called to preside over the bureau meets at the
outset a labyrinth OF opinions. constructions
and rulings laid down or formulated by the
Secretary OF Interior. which are piled up in
nine volumes OF publications. which are law to
him and he must observe. He cannot IL he
would disregard them. 1t matters not who the
missioner is. he must obey these laws.
The pensonor becomes dissatisfied because
the law is not what he desires 1t to be. and he
conceives tho idea that it is the fault OF the
mmissioner.
THE removal OF the commissioner would
not relieve the difficulty. Another commits
sioner would have to follow in the same road
because the road on which he travels is al
ways paved and rolled before he enters upon
it. He cannot build his own road. The remedy
pure and pie. change the law"

DIED IN TROLLEY CONDUIT.
BRTChLAYER WAS sHOCEED By A
CURRENT OF 500 TOLTS.

Some Doubt as to Whether 1t Alone Caused
His Death as Many Persons Have Sur
vIved an Equally strong Shock-Autopsy
to Be Made to Decide the Question.
Jacob Arm berg n brick layer. 33 years Old. of
900 Columbus avenue. who was employed by
tho METROPOLITAN Railway Company doing
some work in connection with the renewing OF
the tracks Of the Lenox avenue under trolley
road at the curve at 109th street where the
road turns into Manhattan avenue to run
north was almost instantly killed about lO4o
o'clock yesterday morning and it is be-
lieved that his death was due to an cleo
trio shock. At the curve. in order to have
room for getting in place the crooked
rails which lie on either side Just below the
trolley slot and convey the electric currents to
and from the powerhouse. there is an extern
siye vault of brickwork In replacing tho
track and other parts OF the railway. some
rails of this brckwork were disturbed. and
Arnberg was engaged in putting this in order.
while other men were at work putting new
paving between and around the new tracks on
the surface OF the street
The gang OF men was under the direction Of
fol- oman John Cavanaugh OF 1" West FIFTEEN
street Arnberg was assisted by Thomas HUB
hey. All OF the men had been warned OF the
danper which lay in the rails conveying the
work was several feet from these rails. it is as
serted that he had been especially
warned He had been short OF material
and called to Hubbey to bring more
bricks. Huhbey left the vault to get the bricks
When he returned to the manhole he called TO
Arnbsrp to take them. but got no response
Then he locke ed in and saw Arnberg lying on
the floor of the vault. writing in apparent
pain.
Hubbey called to the other men near and
with their help got Arnberg to the surface OF
| the street, and Policeman McAvov OF the West
! Tooth street station sent call foran amou-
! lance to the J. Hood Wright Memorial Hospi-
! tai. Surgeon Addoms responded hut when he
arrived he pronounced ArnberR dead. There
were several large bumps on the mans lore
| head looking az II he hal tried to pass under
| the electric rails. but making miscacuhtion
OF distance. had raised up and come in cont act
with them.
The body was taken to the West lOOth
street police station. The Coroner later granted
a permit to take 1t to an undertakers.
Some OF those who were about tho
place whom Arnberg met his death
thought that he had probably been stricken
with heart disease or vertigo and had
fallen against the electric rails. DR..
| Adtoms was OF the opinion that an electric
| shock had killed him. The real cause OF his
death will probably he established by the
autopsy Shocks from the 5O0-yoIt electric
current 3 used for street railway work will kill
| borsas and some other animals instantly. but
Il ia commended by electricians that they are not
| OF sufieient power to kill human beings VINO
are in a healthy condition and many persons
have been subjected to such shocks without

Gals. However that may be. scandals seem to in
crease in the management Of the States liquor
business. new board does not keep above
suspicion for more than year. To-day at the
meeting OF the Dispensary Board charges were
filed by Capt. C. j. Black against Commissioner
Douthit and Superintendent Bryant. Commits

been giving away dispensary liquors and
wines without accounting for them. When or
ders were sent in by dispensers for Savannah.

substituted the product Of a Macon brewery. the
inference being that no was interested in that
beer. Superintendent Bryant. it is charged.

After an all-days session In which it was al

ticians to break up tho Dispensary Commis-
