are in politics seem to have divided into
factions in the senator's home town. 1t
is out of this factional disturbance that
the charges against him have grown.
Most of the witnesses who have ap-
apeared before the committee are Of Ger

speak English with so marked a dialect
that the venerable members Of the COM
amittee have difficulty In comprehend
ing what is said, while the stenographers
are driven to desperation in their en-
sdeavor to make an accurate report.
Charges made by reputable witnesses
are denied with emphasis by equally
reputable witnesses, SO that the result
of the investigation is likely to be clean
bill OF health for the senator.
The most serious charge is that made
by Leopold Hahn, whom Dietrich de-
clined to reappoint as postmaster. He
asserted before the committee that Mr..
Fisher, his successor as postmaster, had
told him that he had been obliged to
pay the senator for his appointment.
This Fisher now denies. But Hahn Of

Mr.. Wares new ruling, it is calculated,
will meet the demand for additional leg

what they have felt they ought to have,
consideration for the disability incident

disability just as clearly as a lost arm

which the pension office has recognized
for a great many years, although hith-

with indifference and who certainly
were justified in complaining OF lack of
tact. The storm against his predeces-
sor, Commissioner Lochren, was fully
as bitter. He went out Of Office with the
Cleveland administration in order to
take a place on the bench. Harrison's
commissioners, Corporal Tanner and
Green B. Raum, on the contrary, were

John C. Black, the present head OF the

the veterans and was never charged with
lax administration of the law, but even
he was subject to criticism because he
