Representative Keller, of Ohio, chairman of the sub committee on pensions, of the house committee on appropriations, has announced informally that that committee has agreed to recommend a pension roll o: $l5O,OOO,OOO for the fiscal year, ending June 30. 1909. This will be about $7 100000 in excess of the pension roll of the present fiscal year.
