Hearing in Baroness Won Roque's Suit
Temporarily Suspended.


The taking of dispositions in the case of
Baroness Won Rogue, mother of Mrs Flor
ence Maybrick, against d. w. Armstrong
and others came to a sudden stop at noon
today, when Attorney Hayden, for the
plaintiff, objected to the manner in which
D. w. Armstrong was conducting the cross
examination of Judge Yarrell. who resumed
the stand this morning when the hearing
began.
At the hearing yesterday Mr.. Hayden
claimed that Mr.. Armstrong was making
the record cumbersome by reading certain
letters at length, merely for the purpose of
Identification. Notwithstanding these OBJ
jections, Mr.. Armstrong continued in the
same manner until the close of the hearing
yesterday. When the case was resumed
this morning and 1t developed that Mr..
Armstrong intended to continue in the same
manner Mr.. Hayden fnterposed an objec-
ton again.
How many of those letters will you want
to place In the record?' asked Mr.. Hayden.
There will be quite number" respond
ed Mr.. Armstrong.
Then think we had better stop the
whole matter right here. do not believe
they are admissible in the manner you are
bringing them out, and before going any
the question"
THAT suits me-" responded Mr.. Arm
strong.
An agreement was reached by which this
and other objections are to be submitted TO
the court at Richmond June 10.
The taking Of dispositions was continued
until July 6.

Decided by President.


Many of the veterans affected by the
order did not understand that applications
could not be received for the increases pro-
vided until after the date on which the
order became effective, and dozen or more
filed application for increases in the latter
part of March and the first of April In
the usual course of action on such appllca-
tions it would have been necessary for the
office to have medical examinations of the
applicants made and evidence gathered, etc.
Under order No. IS the applicant was re-
quired simply to prove his age to obtain the
increase. When the applications OF the
dozen or more veterans who wanted the In
creases came into, the office the matter was
referred to the commissioner for action.
The position that confronted him was
whether or not to receive the applications
as applications under order No. 70 or to re-
ceive them as ordinary applications Tor an
increase. Had the latter course been FOL
lowed the expense of obtaining the required
evidence would have been greater than the
expense attached to the granting OF the
pensions under the old age order.
The commissioner took the matter up
with the President and the Secretary of the
Interior, and he was permitted to use his
own Judgment in the premises. With this
authority the commissioner gave an oral
order to admit the applications under the
old age order, although at that time IT had
not become effective.
When Commissioner Warner took charge
OF the Office last month he proceeded to
make a thorough investigation OF the busi-
Sness, and these cases came to his attention.
He called on the officials for an expana-
ton of their action, and when this was
