POLICE PENSIONERS PROTEST
FILE STRONG OBJECTIONS TO
RE-EXAMINATION
Recent Law Being Carried Into Eff
feet to Adjudge Present
Qualifications.

Since May % last former policemen and
firemen in receipt of pensions from the
District because Of old age or disabilities
have been undergoing denominations to
determine whether any of them are not
actually entitled to them.
Commissioner West said today that sew
eral men drawing pensions from the Dis
trict are showing a tendency to fight the
re-examination law. He says they are
acting upon the advice of an attorney.
who, he says. places peculiar interpreta-
ton on the law.
Commissioner West has received two
letters protesting against REORGANIZATION
almost identical In composition. The let
tiers are from John Sullivan of 1904 Madi-
son street northwest and Charles Bartei,
Fort Mif1in Pa. The contention or the
protestants Is that their connection with
the police department having terminated.
the Commissioners have no control over
them and they are no longer subject to
official orders.
Pensioners in Other Cities.
There are a score or more of pensioners
who are now living in other cities some
of them engaged in private business. and.
according to Information received by the
Commissioners. some Of them are in an
apparently prosperous condition. AS every
pensioner is required to be re-examined.
whether living in Washington or not. the
Commissioners have arranged for these
out-of-town men to appear before any
federal health or medical authorities IN
the vicinity in which they are living for
examination. In such cases the results OF
the examinations will be forwarded to the
Commissioners in the form of af1davits
The District appropriation act passed IN
the last session of Congress requires all
pensioners to appear before the examining
board within thirty days after the pro-
mitigation of the official order Of the Com
missioners notifying the pensioners of the
intent of Congress and the necessity for
the denomination The thirty days will
have expired next Thursday.
These examinations are made by the
board of police and fire surgeons. Ac-
cording to Commissioner West nearly one
half the 300 men drawing pensions have
appeared. The board will not report its
findings until its work Is concluded and 1t
has finally decided upon the actual phys
ical condition of the men.
