PensIOn Mattsrs.

We have been telling our olo
comrades and the widows Of
those deceased, that the next
Legislation on the pension ques-
ton would be an act to place all
the widows on the-pension list at
twelve dollars per month. As
an indication that our prediction
win be fulfilled there are now
two bills ready to be introduced.
One in the Senate By Senator
Warner Of Missouri, and the
other by Post Commander in
Chief of the G. A. R., Corporal
Tanner.
Senator Warmers bill will put
them on the list at $1,000 per
month. Corporal Tanner pro
poses to place them on the list
the same as the old soldier are,
that is, at the age of 60 to get
$500, at 20 $500. and at 70
$1,000 per month.
The proposition Of Senator
Warner viii probably be adopted
by the coming session Of Con-
gress. The latter may come
later.
An amendment viii likely be
made to the present age pension
law giving a pension of $1,000 p Z
month at the age of so years, or
total disability. When the pres
emit law was proposed it was OBJ
jected to because, it was said,
there was an immense army Of
unknown who would come in
with their applications. That
army has not appeared. In fact,
it is said that but few soldiers
who never applied under other
laws have applied under the age
law. Not enough to have any ap.
preciable effect on the increased
expense. In fact the conclusion
is forced that the army Of un
known. if it exists at all, exists
for reasons about which silence
is preferable to uncomfortable
revelations. Leading members
of Congress therefore find that
generous government can safely
be even more liberal than it ha'
been with them to whom it owes
so much.

ACCUSATIONS OF HARAHAN BY FISH
ARE PUBLIC; BEING INVESTIGATED

New York, Sept. 12-The bitterness
SAINT Fish and E. H. Hartman was re-
vealed yesterday. Mr.. Fish seeks moth
ing less than the expulsion of J. T.
Harahan from the presidency of the
Illinois Central The famous resolu-
tions which were read at the directors
meeting on Aug. 2S, which resulted in
Mr. Fish knocking Mr. Harahan down,
are made public.
In the resolutions Mr.. Fish practic-
ally accuses President Harahan of Jug
Cling the books of the Illinois Central
in order to show an increase of bust
ness that did not actually exist.
Used Private Wire.
Mr.. Fish further accused Mr.. Hara-
han of using the private wire of the
| Union Pacific to carry on a telegraphic
correspondence with E. II. Hartman
concerning Illinois Central affairs.
| He further accuses Harahan of falsi
flying the records and misleading the di
rectors of the Illinois Central in regard
to the business of the company.
So far in the struggle Mr. Harahan
supported by L. H. Hartman, has beer
able to sit tight and defy Mr. Fish's eff
forts to oust him.
President Harahan replied to tn,
charges at yesterdays meeting of the
directors, but his reply is withheld
from the public.
But the charges made by Mr.. Fisl
are so serious that even the friends O
Harahan have been compelled to TAX
official notice of them. They are un

has not Yet reported.
Although the quarrel between Messrs.
Fish and Hartman dates back to a
year ago, when Hartman deposed Fish
from the presidency of the Illinois Cen
tral and placed J. T. Harahan at the
head of the company, the present strug-
gle on the part of Fish to have Hara-
han dismissed under charges dates back
only to July "a last.
Fish Accuses Harahan.
On that day Mr.. Fish introduced a
lengthy preamble and resolution, max
ing his preliminary charges against
President Harahan
The preamble recited that for months
j. T. Harahan, as president, and A. G
Hackstaff, as vice president and sec
retary, had been carrying on their tel
egraphic correspondence through the
office and over the private wire of the
Union Pacific Railroad company, Mr.
Harahan sending his dispatches over
that wire relating TO the intimate af
fairs of the Illinois Central addressed
among others. to E. H. Hartman, the
president of the Union Pacific.
1t was further asserted in the resolrl
| tion of July "a that Secretary Hackstaf
had been in the habit of sending on
reports to the directors of the Illinois
Central. inserting in them names of di
vision superintendents and other off
GERS. which are not in the kilograms a
sent by Harahan. through E. H. Harr
man to Mr.. Hackstaff, thereby falsify
ing the record and misleading or Ell
deavoring to mislead the directors a
to the business of the company.
