Accusations Declared to
Have Arisen Through
misunderstanding.

Claiming that allits acts in regard
TO purchasing soldiers land war
rants were absolutely honest and
permissible, the firm of Harvey
Spalding d Sons, one of the firms
ordered by the Pension Office TO show
why they should not be disbarred
from practicing before the Pension
Office, will protest against the pro-
posed action when its case is heard
this week.
The accusation against this par
ticular firm, and other firms, by the
Interior Department, as told in The
Times Of yesterday, is that it did
not observe that candor and fair
ness with the people from whom it
bought the land warrants that is
customarily observed between law
yer and client, and that it took adj
vantage of the people from whom it
bought the land warrants, and Sc
cured the papers at too low prices.
Charges Against Lawyers.
These warrants were for the 16O-acre
grants that, under the pension laws. go
from the public lands to the veterans

While the report does not show that
the men were asked to leave because Of
their uniform, il further does not show
that they We're guilty of any improper
conduct while in the building. It does
show that the enlisted men of the Ma
