4S,3l2 PENSIONERS DIED.

Deaths invasion of the fast thin
ming ranks of war veterans caused
4S, 3l2 names to be dropped from the
pension rolls of the United States last
year. OF this number 81, ,S31 were
survivors of the Civil War. The to-
tai loss to the pension roll from all
causes was 81 5Sl.
In striking contrast to these figures
comprised in the annual report of
Vespasian Warner, Commissioner of
Pensions, is the statement that the
Government paid out in pensions in
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1909,
$l61, ,973, 7O3, which the Commission
er declares is the largest amount ever
disbursed for pensions in one year.
Summarized, the report shows these
facts: Number of pensioners at the
beginning Of the year, 95l ,6S7; num-
Der of new pensioners added to the
roll, 4G, ,OS0; pensioners on roll at
the close of the year, 946, 1874, net
decrease of 5, 493. Survivors of the
Civil War ON the roll now number
593, 96l.
Commissioner Warner explains
that the increase in the amount paid
out for pensions was due principally
to the large number of pensioners
placed on the roll under the act of
February 6, 1907, granting $l2, Sl5
and $40 to survivors of the war with
Mexico and the Civil War on reach
ing the ages of 81, 20 and Is, respec-
lively.
The increase is also due, in part,
to pensions granted under the second
section of the act of April 10, 1908,
to widows of persons who served in
the Civil War, without regard to their
pecuniary condition, and to the in
crease from So to $12 month OF the
rate of pension of certain widows,
minor children and helpless minors.
The pensions of 202, SIT widows, mi
nor children and helpless minors,
who were already on the rolls, were
increased by this acJ.
