WASHINGTON, May 10.-In view Of
~ it can be said on authority that
cannot be questioned that Commission
er Evans desire to sever his conhec
tiun with the pension bureau was not
prompted by any suggestion or promise
on the part of the president or any one
speaking for him. His resignation as
commissioner was a voluntary act and
entirely independent Of any outside
consideration. After the announce
ment that his nomination as consul
general to London had been confirmed
by the senate Mr.. Evans made a state
ment of which the following is part:

Indicated during the period.

nectcd with the service or any brauch
