The resignation OF II. Clay Evans as
Commissioner OF Pensions has not yet
been accepted by the President. and. IN
view Of reports from Kansas. It IS not
probable that It will be accepted until
Mr- Evans has consented TO take another
post in the Government service that can
be regarded by the President as a pro-
motion. and until the Senate has confirm
ell his appointment to this new place.

The reported efforts OF Republicans In
K ansas and the pension attorneys dis
pleased with Mr. Evans administration
OF the Pension once 70 prevent his ap-
pOintment to some other important ana
higher place ia the Government service
are not likely therefore to be OF any
avail. Senator Burton. who. Il IS said.
has been requested to protest to the Pres
ident against giving Mr.. Evans any other
post in the public service. has not vet re-
turned to Washington from Kansas. but
il is believed that he will have z rather

ing Dir. Evans promotion.

As the chief desire Of 5he element Il

Evans out OF the PenslJn Bureau. It is
thought that the Senator and his friends

Pension Commissionership, es-
pecially the reported intention
Of Grand Army men to cen
tinue their opposition to Mr..
