He ascriSed as cause of this. heredi-
~. the unrestricted marrying OF mentally
diseased. and the fact that this country
is the dumping ground of the trash Of
Europe. The latter assertion he sup
ported by quoting figures showing that

men and renters Of houses in general

Of Appeals The question involved is
whether written lease for the renting
OF a house can be added to by an oral
agreement made at the time the lease is
signed.
The complainant was real estate man
who rented TO the defendant certain
house in this city, and at the time the
document was signed, agreed with the
defendant orally that he would put the
house in repair. After the defendant
moved into the building. he found that
the complainant had not carried out his
agreement made at the signing of the
lease. and moved out OF the house. refus-
ing TO pay the rent. The Supreme Court
OF the District decided that the oral
agreement could be proved; that i,<aas

view this construction of the law. The

AUDITOR RITTMAN
WARNS CLAIM AGENTS
Must Cease Sending Cir
cularS TO EX-SOIdierS.

Frederick +. Rittman. Auditor for the
War Department. has warned energetic
claim agents against the continuance OF
aggressive methods which they have
employed for some time. Circulars have
been sent broadcast over the country to
ex-soldiers. in which claim agents have
made statements which are believed TO
be questionable. The result has been
the filing of about 5000 claims for back
pay within the last few months
The circulars were probably mailed at
random to veterans. as an investfgat ion
has shown that there is no money due 10
many OF the claimants. Employees Of the
War Department have frequently been
suspected OF securing the names OF
claimants and selling them to agents.
but so many OF the recent claims have
been erroneous that the names are sup
posed to have been taken from old rolls.
The following is an extract from a
circular issued by one firm OF Washing
ton claim agents:
We hereby offer. for contingent fee
OF 40 per cent. 10 cause the payment OF
a debt OF about $3.50. without any ad-
vance expense 10 you. beyond that re-
quired in proving identity. usually only
notariaI fees. Payment will be made di-
rect 10 the payee. OF payees, not through
our hands. in two or three months after
acceptance. This debt has been due for
many years. That St is unknown TO the
psyee goes without saying. While this
field is open to any. we occupy IL alone.
Payees in this city have gladly paid our
charges Our. predecessors charged 80
per cent. This information We have has
cost us much time and labor %
The wording OF this extract is thought
by Mr.. Rittman TO be misleading. in that
II indicates that there is no way to Sc
cure the alleged claim with the excep-
tion Of through the agent.
Any soldier who believes that he has
claim against the Government may
have it fully investigated and may Sc
cure any money due him by application
10 the War Department. The payment
OF a fee 20 an agent is entirely .unneces-
sary. and the department has done all in
fits power TO discourage the filing OF
claims through agents. II now pays all
money to claimants and will not act as
the collector for an agent who has a
contract for commission.
Most OF the recent claims fled we're
under an act providing for the payment
OF salary to civil war officers from the
time they were mustered in by the vari-
Gus States until they were taken into
the Government service. Many officers
had salary for several months due them
under this act. and circulars we're prob
ably mailed 10 all officers and their fam
lilies by agents in their attempt to locate
claimants.
