MAKES DEFENSE OF
 PENSION RULING Secretary of Interior Replies to Resolution SIMPLE RULE OF DECISION Urges That Man of Seventy Is Natur- ally Unable to Earn His Liv-
 ing By Manual
 Labor.
SIMPLE RULE OF DECISION

Washington, March 29.-The secretary of the interior today sent to the senate a communication in response to Senator Overman's resolution directing the sec retary to furnish the senate a copy of the order issued by the department en- larging the pension act of June 27. 1890, and amendments as to the disabilities Of applicants for pensions, and to report by what amount the order will increase pen sions annually.
 In regard to the increase of pension ap- proprlations needed to carry the order into effect, the secretary gives the esti- mate of the acting commissioner of pen sions, made public with the order of March 15 1904. A review of the adminis- tration of pension laws is given by Sec retary Hitchcock in the course of which he submits precedents for the purpose of showing that the order referred to is clearly within executive authority, and in conformity with existing law and meth ods which heretofore prevailed in it's administration
 The order inqueston, says the secre- tary, merely lays down as a convenient rule of decision and a rebuttable pre- sumption of fact, that one who is other wise entitled and is 62 years of age, is partially disabled from earning a liveli- hood by his hands; that one who is 65 years, is more disabled for manual work; that one who Is 6S is in still greater degree incapable of earning support by manual labor and that one of 70 is com pletely disabled in this regard. Certainly such presumption is justified by gen. eral experience in actual life.

Ace Considered a Factor.

When it Is understood that in the ad- indications In this act, age has always been considered factor with other dis abilities, and when 1t is further consid- cred that for more than ten years there has been an established rating (the maxi mum allowed by law), based solely on the age of 75 years and that for nearly seven years there has been an established rat ing (the minimum provided by law). based alone on the age of 65, 1t will be apparent how largely problematical must be an es- tlmate of increase of expenditures un- der the order of March 15, 1904.
 "The acting commissioner of pension has given attentive consideration to the second paragraph of the resolution and by reference to his report 1t will be seen that he estimates the order of March 15, 1904, will result in an increased expendi- ture annually of $5, 100000"
 Secretary Hitchcock's letter Is accom- panied by a letter from Acting Commis- sioner of Pensions Davenport, who says Commissioner Wares order does not en- large but simply construes the pension act of June 27 1890, and its amendments.
