FRAUD CHARGED.
Several Attorneys Incur DispIeasure of
the Commissioner of PensiOns-One
Disbnrred-AH Declare Their InnO-
cence of Intended WrOngdOinE.

An alleged systematic plan on the
| part of certain well-known pension
claim attorneys of this city and else
where 10 enrich themselves at the ex-
pense of poor widows and orphans OF
war veterans has resulted in the disbar-
ment of one attorney from practicing
before the Pension Office. and may re-
suit in the disbarment of others. ac-
cording to statements made at the Pen
sion Office.
The disbarred attorney is w. E.
Moses. of Washington and Denver. and
the following have been ordered by the
Secretary of the Interior to show cause
why they shall not be disbarred:
Harvey Spaulding e. Sons. Washing
ton; Milo p. Stevens & Co, Washington,
Cleveland. Detroit and Chicao, and Ed
gar B. Gaddis. Washington.
1t is alleged by Pension Office officials
that one of these attorneys enriched
himself to the extent of $4,000 by TAX
ing advantage of the ignorance of the
widows and heirs of war veterans
Under old pension laws. all veterans
of wars occurring before March 3, 1855,
which include the War of the Revolu-
ton. .he War of 1912 and the Mexican
War. are entitled to bounty land grants
of 100 acres of the public lands. this
bounty passing to the widow or heirs in
the event of the death of the veteran
"
filed, the Pension Office, on approving
the claim, issues a warrant which the
recipient may locate anywhere on the
public lands.
The allegations are that the pension
attorneys named have been making a
practice of looking up instances where
the warrant had not been issued, or,
having been issued, had not been To-
Gated, writing to the veteran or his
heir, and securing power of attorney to
prosecute the claim. The warrant OBJ
tanned, the attorney would attempt to
purchase 1t for any price the owner
would accept
1t is charged that in many cases the
real value of the warrant was con-
cealed from the client, and the usual
price paid was about s1.25 an acre The
warrants We're then sold for various
prices up to 81 an acre. In one case
which has come to the attention of the
Pension Commissioner 1t is said that an
attorney paid SIS for 100 acres and then
sold It for $720.

IMPAIRED VISION.
II Is Really a Far Worse Disability
Than the Loss of Limb.

Editor National Tribune: History
does mot tell of a nation that has done
so much for its defenders in time of
war by way of pension allowances as
the United States. Neither does his
tory tell of soIdiery which, after be-
ing discharged from a great army has
done so much towards the upbuilding
of a country materially. intellectually
and morally. as the veterans of our
civil war.
If everything which has been accom-
plished by the brain and brawn" OF
our veteran soidiery since peace was
'declared should be taken out of our
Land. a hole would be made in its
wealth and resources so deep and wide.
as would astonish the most invidious
enemy of the old pensioner.
While the liberality of the Govern
ment has been most commendable, its
adjustment of claims has not always
been the most equitable possible. The
man whose eyesight is so impaired by
disease originating in the line of duty
as TO induce the Reviewing BOARD at
Washington to allow him a pension of
s24 or $50 a month. is as much in
capacitated for making a living by
manual labor as the man who has lost
a limb or an arm.
Excepting total blindness there is
nothing which so inconveniences and
discommodes a man as impaired vis-
ion caused by granulations of the lids
and ulcerations. and cicatrices of the
cornea. This condition of the eyes is
almost as sensitive to the sudden
changes of our climate as neuralgia
or rheumatism, and glasses many times
will not improve the vision.
will give a few examples:
A man receives a pension of 500
month on account of the loss of limbs.
This man made two or three times
this amount at his law practice, be-
cause he had good eyesight.
A man receives $50 or SIS a month
for the loss of an arm. This man was

the property, after the battle. Of Maj.
George Armstead. who commanded the
fort, and descended thru relatives until
it became the property of Mr.. Apple
ton. of New York. He was quoted re-
Gently as saying that he had originally
intended to will the flag to some Mary
land institution, but, angered by a re-
quest from the old Maryland Jockey
Club for the use of the flag on the PIN
leo race course during the sesqui-cen-
tenniai of the city, he determined that
the flag should never come to Balti-
more, where it was apparently held in
such slight regard. He is also quoted
as saying that he intended to will il to
some historical association in Massa-

over Fort McHenry during the battle

There is no place where the STAR

logical resting place of the famous old
flag. and it would be venerated and
honored here as nowhere else in Amer
