PENSION LIST GROWING.
About Sl42, 900. 600 Needed for the Com
ing Year.

ing Year.
NEW YORK. Dec. 8. Secretary Ethan
Alien Hitchcock OF the depart tplent Ol
the interior, who is here on private
business, says:
"Ihe pension roll for the coming
year will call for the expenditure OF
about Sl42 2.OO0,. 900, as against about
$l3S, coo, 600 tor the year just closing.
There are little less than 1000, 600
names Oh the roll now, and these are
being added to by recent legislation.
Under the old law soldiers widows not
wholly dependent on their own labor
for their support We're not entitled to
draw a pension. \ recent law made II
legal for a widow receiving an income
not above $3.50 year TO receive pen
sion. This and certain amendments
bearing on the construction of the dis
ability of veterans have added several
thousand names to the roll. No coun
try in the world is SO liberal with Its
pensioners as this government, anu
this fact has prompted dishonest men
to take every sort OF mean advantage
Of the coyernm0 mt No doubt there
are many fraudulent pensioners on the
rolls today, but as fast as trickery Is
discovered the proper measures are
taken to check it.
