HEAVY PENSION DEMAND
Great Increase Under the
New Commissioners,
A FLOOD OF APPLICATIONS
Claimants Believed to Have Delayed
Action Pending the Change
of Officials.

A great increase in the number of ap.
plications for pensions has been notet
since the appointment of Commissioner
Ware few months ago, and the substi-
tuition of Or. Sam Houston for DR.. Raul
as chief medical referee. 1t is believed
that the piling up of claims and appli-
cations will go on at a rapidly growing
rate during the next six months. The
national encampment OF the Grand Army
aL3 other organizations Of veterans next
week will also make more work for the
Pension Office.
When 1t became noised about last year
that Commissioner Evans would be re-
moved, the people who wanted pensions
ceased to large degree their active ef-
forts, and comparatively few applica-
tions were filed. The fight made by the
Grand Army on Mr.. Evans gave intend
ing applicants the idea that a waiting
policy was the best.
Small Per Cent Allowed.
OF the vast number of applications for
pensions and for increase in pensions
Mr.. Evans administration only about is
per cent were allowed. The promised
change eased the bombardment. nut piled
up trouble for the new man at The head
OF the office.
Claimants for the past few years be-
lieved they had especial grievance
against Examiner Raub. Many of the
claims, it is alleged came in with un-
impeachable proof. passing the several
boards dealing with records, put were
held up in the medical department.
The percentage of applications failing in
the medical office was large. The re-
ports of DR.. Raub often caused the
shaving of amounts after the applica-
tions were allowed.
Next week the officials of the bureau
expect a deluge of requests for the
standing OF claims. Blanks have been
printed and on these it is expected sew
eral thousands of men will make inquiry
rs to the status OF their cases.
Larger Force Needed.
It is claimed that the Office force is 4
nOW iuGucQudtc W lnS Sc
amount of work and that Commissioner
Ware will ask Congress for more clerks. |
II this is not granted the applications
will have to wait several months for ex-
animation. Other features of the re-
union. 1t is believed, will add TO The in
terest in the subject and result in an
increased number of petitions. It is ex-
pected that the patent attorneys will get |
extra busy.
The revival in the application business /
resulted in the making of a large num-
Der Of cabinets and cases, which were
placed yesterday. They were made be-
cause the new applications were piling
up, and there was no place to keep them.
A force of clerks will this week place In
the cases the papers which were held
up during the latter part of the Evans
regime and which are now tumbling in
on the new administration.

OF SHEPHERD
MEMORIAL is SECURED
First Meeting of Financial Committee Last Evening At
tended by Over Hundred Members.

With substantial subscription as
nucleus, the movement to erect a monu.
ment to the memory of Gen. Alexander
R. Shepherd was started last night a,
the first meeting of the finance commit
tee of the Shepherd memorial fund com
mittee, held at the Arlington Hotel
More than 100 members of the commit
tee were present, despite the inclemency
of the weather, and the name and work
OF Washington's greatest benefactor
were lauded by those who knew him
best personally and who were associated
with him in his efforts to beautify the
| National Capital.
Z Mr.. b. H. Warner presided at the
meeting, and DIR. F. T. Howe was chosen
secretary. The result of the gathering
was the adoption of a resolution offered
by Mr.. Louis p. Shoemaker, pledging the
community to erect. by popular sub
scription, a suitable monument to the
| memory OF Governor Shepherd, and also
of motion for the appointment of a
committee of fifteen to devise plan to
carry into effect the purpose of the
resolution.
Mr.. Warner briefly stated the object of
the meeting. and called upon Commits
sioner Macfarland, the president of the
Board OF Commissioners. Mr.. Macfar-
land said:
Eulogizes Governor Shepherd.
Governor Shepherd stands unique in
the history of the District of Column
bia. He was the greatest of her sons,
and he did more for her than any of
the others. Born here, and bred in that
love of the National Capital which only
those who have grown up in 1t can feel.
ne seized the opportunity which others
did not even see, to begin the long
neglected work of making the city what
its founder meant it to be-
Continuing, the speaker praised Gov
ernor Shepherds labors in behalf of
Washington
Mr.. Warner next called upon Mr.. Will
lam F. Mattingly, who was one of Gov
ernor Shepherds colaborators and
stanch friends during the ordeal through
which the governor passed when car
rying out his system of public i'm
provements for Washington. Mr. Mat
tingly reviewed the conditions in Wash
ington following the civil war. Mr..
had said that Governor
Shepherd seized an opportunity; Mr..
Mattingly declared that he created an

herds private secretary, and later chief
clerk of the board of public works. told
of Governor Shepherds
career.
Adoption Was Unanimous.
Mr.. Louis p. Shoemaker followed in q |
brief speech, commending the work of
Governor Shepherd, and offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was rnani-
nously adopted:
Whereas all Washingtonians have
learned OF the death of Alexander r.
Shepherd with deep feeling of regret
because he was generally recognized as a
public benefactor of this city.
His active sphere of life came at a
,ritical period in the history of our Dis
trict, time when Washington could
hardly have been called city.
