His Pension Money Seized by Truss
tees of the Soldiers Home.
Erie, Pa, Feb. 1.-The case of An
drew H. Brooks against the trustees
of the Soldiers Home In this city was
called yesterday for trial before Judge
Walling. Brooks claims he was com.
PEELED to surrender all of his pension
over 81 a month. He alleged he had
a wife nearly so years old residing in
Scranton, and said that pension money
taken from him by the trustees should
go to her. He testified and proved he
sent her the 81 of his pension allowed
him. that she was poor and sup
porting herself going out working by
the day when able. He produced a
letter written to her by the commander
of the home refusing her any portion
OF her husbands pension. Messrs.
Baker & Odds represent the old vet
eran, and contend that the rule re-
quiring payment of pension money to
trustees Is without authority of state
law, that the money taken is not ex-
pended for their maintenance or paid
over to the commonwealth, but Is held
by Treasurer General Wagner. Cap
tain Whittlesey and Ramsey, of Phila-
oelpnia, for the trustees contend that
they take 1t as disciplinary measure,
and at some future time intend apply
ing to the legislature for permission to
build an addition to the home hospital,
and if Brooks does not want to pay
his pension money he can leave the
home and support his wife the best
way he can. Judgment is promised
before the next pension day. Judge
Walling intimated strongly that the
legislature should take up the matter.

Il have been most freely quoted

His statement is as follows:
"On the 10Th of last September / is

which had been issued to their men.
At the time that went before the
war board Investigating committee
had only received reports from IA Of
the commanders. Now l have 30 re-
ports They all tell the same story.
The evidence proves the truth Of the
statements which I made. In addition
to the reports of the regimensl com
manders i have a great mass of evil
dence. consisting of communications.
affidavits. etc, from officers. soldiers

country has contributed to the mass of
correspondence which L have received
in reference to the beef served to our
soldiers. and the evidence is all cor
roborative of what I have said.
81 have overwhelming evidence that

chemicals in order to preserve it. I
| have affidavits from men who saw the
beef undergoing the treatment, or EN-
balming process.
Now, as to the canned roast beef.
That was different from the embalmed
beef The canned roast beef was the
| beef after the extract had been boiled
| out of it. You have seen the adver-
tisements, Beef extract; one pound
contains the substance of from four
to five pounds of prime beef Well
