Committee Report Read Before
 the C. A. R.
COULDN'T GET JUSTICE
They Charge That the commissloner Looked On All Applicants With Dlstrust ana Their Attor-
 neys as Frauds.

Washington. October 9.-Among the of fieial documents presented to the en- campment of the grand army of the re- public here today was the report of the committee appointed last year to investi- gate the administration Of the pension office by the then pension commissioner, H. Clay Evans, and to then bring the result of the investigation to the atten- tion of the President. The first name signed to the report was that of Gen. Eli Torrance, eommander-in-chief, who stated in his address that as soon as the report was brought to President Roose- velts notice the resignation of Commis- sioner Evans was accepted.
 The committee consisted of Generals Torrance, R. B. Beath, James R. Carna- han. c. G. Burton, W H. upham. J. c. Binehan. H. E. TaintoF and John c. Black. and all signed 1t except General Black. who was unable to meet with the committee. He says, however, that he concurs in it's deductions.
 The investigation was conducted in Washington and the committee began their report by saying that Commissioner Evans afforded every opportunity to make 1t thorough.
 Petitions Rejected.
 Speaking of the results of their in- quiry into special complaints, they say that many of these complaints we're without merit, but that on the other hand many meritorious claims had been thrown out.
 41,a.r say, i've are convinced that scores of claims are rejected every day that should be allowed"
 The report closes as follows
 We respectfully submit that it can not reasonably be expected that the pension laws will be fairly construed, and justly administered in accordance with their spirit and intendment by those who treat every applicant for a pension with distrust, regard his attor- ney as fraud and brand the examining surgeons as incompetent and dishonest.
 We contend that such an attitude on the part of those entrusted with the breaking of the alabaster box of the nations love disqualifies them to admin ister so sacred a trust.
 Could Not Get Justice.
 'Hailing from widely separate states of the union, and familiar with the views of our comrades, we deem 1t our duty in making this report to declare that among the survivors of the war of the rebel lion there Is an irremovable belief and conviction that the present commissioner of pensions is not disposed to administer the duties of his office in that spirit of equity and justice to applicants for pen slons which they have right to expect and while we are actuated by no feeling of unkindness toward the honorable com missioner of pensions, we are convinced that justice to the soldier Is impossible of attainment under the present admin istration of the pension bureau" The report Is dated March 22 last.

Taken for What 1t is Worth.

In the Chicago Inter Ocean of re-
cent date there appeared special ar
ticle from Washington which contain
ed the startling information that the
trusts are about to- start a crusade
against Roosevelt because of that
dignitary's antitrust attitude. That
special was intended to give its read
ers the cold shivers. but should be re-
cited in a monotone and accompanied
by rag time selection upon the yio-
lin to have the desired effect. The
article says in substance that j. J.
Hill and some of his magnate friends
are after RoOsevelt's scalp for what
connection Roosevelt has had with
the big railroad merger case. Then
it says that Morgan and some of his
crowd are very indignant about what
Roosevelt has done or may do in con-
nection with the transatlantic merg-
err The anti-beef trust is not fea-
tured. The trust magnates are not
kicking
That special continues, saying that
the trusts will oppose Roosevelt for
the presidency in 1904 because of his
present Opposition" to the trusts.
That is a great piece of hypocrisy.
The trusts are today in clover. They
were never more contented with a
man than they are with President
Roosevelt, but it must be admitted
that Roosevelt has made pretense~ at
opposing trusts. The pretense is not
a serious one. 1t is likely made at the
dictation of trust magnates and is a
bluff that will not weaken their hold
on the administration in the least.
When Roosevelt raises some sort of a
reasonable objection to trusts and
urges legislation that will stop this
trust rule and these trust outrages,
the colossal combinations of capital
which are injuring labor and the peo-
pie generally will have reasonable
cause to complain. Until then these
pretended attacks upon the trusts by
Roosevelt will be considered mere
bluffs in favor of the trusts. There is
no reason to- believe that they are
anything else.

VIII senator Mason stand Patq,,

In a statement over his own sigma
ture, Senator Mason, speaking of
Gov. Yates and Congressman Hopkins,
says:
The pathway Of the governor and
his candidate has been thus far
marked with boodleism, ballot box
stuffing, bribery and broken instruc-
tiOns. In the very county where this
convention is held the delegates were
elected by the most corrupt primary
ever known by the party in any
state"
No such an arraignment was ever
before made against men occupying
the positions of Gov. Yates and Con-
gresham Hopkins. If Senator Mason
does his duty he will proceed to be
more particular in his statements.
He knows what has been done, and
the public have a right to assume

The Kansas MlIlers and Their Inter

The Kansas diIlers and Their Inter-
ests.
All does not seem to be as serene
and prosperous in Kansas as the pros
perity boomers have been asserting.
Now comes the Kansas Millers' asso-
citation with the following appeal to
Senator harris of that state:
kansas millers, on account of for
eign determinations, with the best
wheat in the world at their door, are
not producing over one-third of their
full capacity. Unless your committee
on foreign relations can give us relief
through reciprocal concessions, plac-
ing our millers on an equal basis with
foreign millers, many of our mills
will shut down indefinitely and some
of them will be forced to the wall
In our distress we look to our sena.
tors for relief
This appeal was not intrusted to
the mails, but was sent by telegraph
so urgent was the situation as it pre-.
scented itself to the senders. The
trouble with the Kansas millers is
that they do not understand that
there are other interests to be takeT
care of-interests more Immediately
available for campaign contributions
and therefore entitled to precedence
by all the rules of republican political
ethics.
