of S12 month, and a weeks pension at

himself. inasmuch as all his expenses
are paid by the District health depart
ment. In the future each check he re-
ce1ves from the pension agent will be
turned over to his wife.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Blair,
TO whom the District Commissioners re-
ferred the matter of forcing the North

PENSION AGENCY PROTESTS.
Leper's Check Not Delayed There,
Officials Saw.

Alleging that there has been misrepre-
sentation concerning the payment of the
pension to John R. Early. the leper, and
consequent reflection upon the methods
of doing business in the pension agency, a
representative of the agency today issued
the following statement:
THE certificate was issued by the pen
sion bureau on the Sd instant. and was
received at the agency on the 4th. A
voucher was at once prepared and the let
ter containing the certificate and voucher
was taken In person by representative
OF the pension bureau to the health de-
partment, reaching the latter office on the
evening Of the 18th.
THE voucher was executed on the 9Th
before a notary public, and from that
time until the evening of the Sth appears
to have been in the custody of the health
department, for it was mailed in an en-
velope from that Office addressed to the
Chief Clerk. L. 8. Pension Office and
postmarked $50 pm, September s. Now
it should be borne in mind that the pen
sion office and the pension agency are sep
tended for the pension agency should not
be sent to the pension office. as there Is
usually delay in separating the mail and
getting it to its proper destination.
1T being reported that the voucher
had been sent to the agency by messenger
and that payment was being delayed be-
cause of accumulation Of business. steps
were taken by the agency to locate the
voucher, with the result that 1t was found
in the pension office, having been received
but a short time before the inquiry was
made. The voucher was at once procured
and within a half hour after 1t was re-
ceived at ne agency the check was Is
sued and sent by messenger TO STATION ",
reaching that office at 10 a m. on the 9th,
the letter being addressed to Mr.. Early,
in care Of the health department.
1T will be seen, therefore, that there
has been no delay in the pension agency
at any stage OF the proceedings. and, on
the other hand, because of the unusual
conditions surrounding the case, every
thing has been done in this Office to eX-
pedite matters and have the money paid
a IS soon as possible that the pensioner and
his family might receive the benefit OF his
pension"

charges and announced that he is con-
WINGED he will be able to successfully de-
fend the case. He is represented by At

According TO his counsel, Partridge
came voluntarily from his home. at Broad
Run, Va, to give bail. He has been
living there. 1t was stated, in bungalow
Of seven or eight hooms, and not in a

Rev. E. A. Hannah. a local Catholic
prosecution of Partridge was begun talk
ed to a Star reporter today about the
case. He was much interested when he
was told that Richardson and Hodges had
furnished bail for Partridge.

three years and as I was in it for bust
ness. did not deem it wise to say too
much.
