The commissioner of pensions has sent
TO all pensioners the following circular:
Read carefully, and preserve for future
reference. All persons employed by the
bureau of pensions are paid for their
services by the Government of the Unit
ed States, and are not entitled to collect
any money from any individual for per-
forming their official duties. Any person
who pretends to be an officer of the
bureau, and demands compensation for
his alleged services in that behalf is an
impostor, and should be turned over to
an officer of the law The Object of this
circular is to protect all persons having
business with the bureau against the
swindling schemes of unprincipled i'm
posters, who falsely claim to be officers
of the government having power to grant
pensions, arrears, and increase, and who
collect money from their victims.
Genuine special examiners do not de-
mand or receive any money"
