PENSION ORDER 70.
Commissioner Ware Makes Statement
as to It's Effect.

Commissioner Ware Makes Statement
as to Its Effect.
Eugent Ware, commissioner Of pensions.
has made a statement as to the pension
order of President Roosevelt and the views
of Judge Parker on the same subject:
president Roosevelt's ORDER" said he,
simply anticipates by few months or a
few years what a veteran could get any
way and the amounts that are paid out by
reason of it, although difficult to compute,
are comparatively small. especially In view
of the saving which it makes in administra-
ton 1 have called for 100000 less for
medical examinations than formerly, re-
ducing this charge 1917 per cent because OF
economies Of a fxed basis of estimate
over the more vague considerations which
enter into the ascertainment of disability
for earning support by manual labor, of
which the statute speaks. There is a saw
ing to the soldiers also Of half a million
dollars year for the same reason. Appli-
cants do not have to make trips to the eX-
amining boards which are sometimes one
hundred miles away, when on age alone
they can get what In the greater number of
cases they could get in any event as the
result of the examination.
1.-The size of the unknown army or the I'M
pensioned veterans of the civil war is an
important point 1 believe it was about
10000, and Of these $1,000 have filed appli-
cations under this order. These are original
claims of men who have never been pen
stoned There have already been filed
10000 applications for increase under the
order, most of which are for an increase of
S. The number of persons at present who
might file applications for increase under
1t is about 375,0OO and as the number who
have actually claimed the increase was
under per cent Of the number who already
draw pensions and might SO apply 1t would
indicate that order IS was in direct line
with the experience Of the Office and intro
duced no new principles as to the disabili-
ties of the people of sfxty-two years and
over"

'ROOSEVELT'S RIGHT.
Senators Discuss the Withholding Of
Information by the President.
HOUSE EBLlVESED BY J. ADAM BEDE.
A proposed Now Article 10 the Constitu-
tion TO Prohibit Incorporation BY States
Of Corporations 70 Engage In Busi-
ness Outside Of the State.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The time o.
the senate yesterday was devoted Il
debate rather than to set speeches OF
the attitude Of the United States to.
ward the Panama revolution. There
was a variation, however, In that the
discussion also had reference to the
right Of the president to withhold in
formation called for by the senate
The interest foundation Of the contro-
versy was the democratic caucus reso-
luton calling on the president to state
whether he has yet supplied all the
papers In the archives bearing on the
Panama affair. The debate was opened
by Senator Culberson and was partici-
pated In by Senators German and
Bacon on the democratic side of the
chamber and Senators Cullom, Spoon
er and Lodge on the republican side.
The democrats contended for the right
Of the senate to demand information
In the possession Of the executive bear
ing on treaties before the senate, while
the republicans spoke In defense of the
discretion of the president to withhold
information.
The house for an hour yesterday was
entertained by speech by J. Adam
Bede, republican member from Min
nesota, who made his maiden effort
and won his spurs. His remarks were
replete with wit and humor as well as
serious thought. Now and then, for
purposes of illustration, he would tell
a story that greatly amused the audi
tors. Good-natured colloquies resulted
from his thrusts at the democratic
party. Mr.. Bede appealed to the demo-
cratic party to disband and extended
them an invitation to join the repub-
lican ranks and make the election Of
Mr.. Roosevelt unanimous.
When invited by member Of the
minority to Join the democratic ranks
he inquired who their candidate would
be. but no name was forthcoming.
The only opposition to Roosevelt, he
declared, came from little bunch Of
populists" down in Wall street. The
election returns from the west, he said,
would simply be supplemental census
figures. When he had concluded he
was applauded on both sides. There
also was discussion yesterday ON
finance by Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Williams,
beside references to the Panama canal
and the race problem in the south.
A proposed new article to the consti-
tuition was introduced by Mr.. McDer-
mott, Of New Jersey, prohibiting the |
Incorporation by states of corporations
to engage in business outside Of the |
state.
Mr.. vanduser. Of Nevada, introduced |
. resolution inQuiring II any supplies |
FOR the post ONCE department are made |
