simple twist Of the wrist"
Foraker asked II Il were not true
that Mr.. Cleveland had issued a SINH
lar order in regard to Mexican pen.
sions. but Carmack insisted that the
action on Mexican pensions was the
result Of legislation, and not Of an ex
ecutiye order.
Carmack admitted, however, in re-
Spouse to suggestions from McCum.
Der and Aldrich, that the first step FIX
ing old age as evidence Of disability
had been taken by Mr.. Cleveland.
But" he said, that does not help the
case. ! admit that the first violation
of the law in this respect occurred at
that time. The order In that case was,
however, comparatively reasonable,
and the precedent had been violently
seized upon by the present occupant
OF the White House to extend the
practice
McCumber, chairman of the commit.
tee on pensions, said that the present
practice is 20 assume disability at the
age Of 60. He c~ontended that, accord
ing TO the order, the fact that a man
has reached the age OF so years Is
taken only as prima facie evidence Of
disability.
McCumber %contended II an investl-
cation were to be made at all, Il
should be made by the committee on
pensions, and not by the committee on
judiciary,
Foraker Defends the Order.
Foraker defended the order as a
praiseworthy one in purpose, an con-
tended that the law gives the secre.
tary authority TO make rules and regu.
lations for the enforcement Of the
statute.
Foraker said that his understanding
OF the order is that an ex.soldier does
not necessarily come into a pension at
the age Of 80, hut the fact Of age is
only an evldential fact which shifts
the burden of proof to the govern
ment, The effect was to give a man
Of SO years OF age a prima faoie ease
before the department,
II do not think the order extraordin-
ary," continued Foraker In conclu-
sion, "on the contrary, | consider It
wise and prudent and | believe the
president the secretary of the inter.
Tor, the commissioner OF pensions, and
all who had anything to do with II, are
entitled TO much credit"
The pension question was laid aside,
and the District OF Columbia a]ppropri-
alton bin was passed after a little dis.
cussion OF amendments.

Washington, March 29-The senate
for three hours discussed the recent
order Of the pension bureau making
old age an evidence Of disability and
hen passed the District Of Columbia
appropriation bill.
The discussion of the pension order
was based on the resolution offered
some days ago by Carmack, directing
the committee on judiciary to inquire
into the authority Of the executive
branch Of the government TO make
such an order. Carmack contended
that no such authority exists, but sew.
eral Republican senators argued that
the order was in line with the regula.
ton Issued by Judge Lochren, com
missioner OF pensions under Cleveland,
fixing 65 years Of age as an evidence
OF infrmlty. They also declare the
new order would have only the effect
of aifordlng prima facie evidence Of
disability and not that OF giving a
pension solely because the age Of Go
years had been reached by the pen.

Palmetto Cemetery Needs More Atten-
4. - 80 a4t.....

Palmetto Cemetery Needs More Atten-
tion from City Authorities.
1t is a matter of regret to the lot
owners and people generally who visit
Palmetto cemetery thar the city
authorities do not give more attention
to its care There is only one man
employed to keep the cemetery in or.
der and it is a physical impossibility
for this one man to give the place
the attention it needs and deserves.
The people who own lots in Palmetto
cemetery have their rights as they
are taxpayers and contribute to the
maintenance of the public works but
the place itself does not receive the
proper share of attention from the
public works committee. TO any one
lit is noticeable fact that hogs have
easy and daily access to the grounds
and frequently cows are found eating
the trees and shrubbery that is plant
ed by lot owners.
On graves that are thrown up in
mound shape and have flowers planted
on them can be seen marks where the
hogs have rooted down the bulbs and
roots Of plants and in one or two in.
stances have practically destroyed the
shape of the graves
The News has referred to the need
for more attention to Palmetto ceme-
terry several times and it Is certainly
to be hoped that the city authorities
will have the fences repaired to keep
the hogs out, even if they cannot pro.
vide more help to keep the cemetery
in proper order.
To one who has friends or rela.
tiyes buried there it is not a pleasant
sight to visit their lots and find the
noofs OF cows or the marks Of roofing
