But. despite his bluntness, he was a
man of charming personality. Those

thought it was right so to dc, never
hesitating for policys sake.
Many Friends
And Companions.
But he had always around him a CO.

with his companionship He was clever,
genial, straightforward, and fond Of

Lawyer, Politician, and
Statesman Was Eugene
F. Ware.
GREAT REPUTATION
AS WRITER OF VERSE
Well Known in Washington as
Former Chief of Pen
sion Bureau.
'Ironnuill" Is dead.

''Ironquilr' Is dead.
The lawyer, politician, and statesman
who, to a certain extent. hid his own
name of Eugene F. Ware under that
poets nom de guerre, who was famed
in Washington as chief of the Pension
Bureau and as a writer of verses
passed away at his summer home al
Cascade, Col, Saturday. The news of
II did not reach Washington until this
morning a..
There have not been many more in
teresing. people in Washington than
Eugene F. Ware. Before he came here
TO be chief OF the Pension Bureau he
already had a national reputation. A
native of Hartford, where he was born
seventy years, ago, he moved to Iowa
with his parents when he was a boy.
He went to the civil war with an Iowa
regiment, and served with credit
throughout the whole struggle, coming
out with the rank Of captain. Then he
entered the practice Of law, and the APP
plause that his success won him in
that activity did not keep him from
hearing the Turing call of politics.
Wins Prominence
BY Speeches and Poems.
But 1t was neither as a lawyer nor
as a politician that he achieved his
fame before he came to Washington.
He had become a resident Of Kansas
after the war, and was admitted TO
practice at the bar at Fort Scott in
1871. He was constantly interested in
politics, but it was the speeches and
the poems he wrote that brought him
into general prominence.
He was elected, indeed, a delegate to
two national conventions, and he served
in the Kansas Stale senate from 1873
to 1884. He had controversies with Kan
sas State officials, and always had a
prominent II not a successful part.
Then in 1903 he made the famous Gold
Obelisk" speech. That was. before a
Grand Army post at San Francisco. In
IL he said that the Government had
paid to veterans in pensions enough
money to build a gold obelisk ten feet
square at the base and more than 100
feet high. The veterans did not like
the speech, and Corporal James Tanner
spoke more to their liking when he said
that the real cost of the war had been
in the lives 1t had destroyed.
Poet Laureate
Of Administration.
When he came to Washington to be
Pension Commissioner. in 1903, he was
we'll known. From the first he was
called the poet laureate of the Admin

Uncle Sam Will Pay
With Voucher Check

In the future all interest on the pub
lie debt of the United States will be
paid by voucher check. This departure
will simplify bookkeeping in the Treas
ury Department and will reduce the
clerical work.
Secretary MacVeagh decided upon the
innovation several months ago, but he
was restrained from putting it into op-
Grafton by threatened lega! tangles. In
a decision announced today, ComptrolleT
Tracewell, of the Treasury, fndorsed
the opinion of the law officer that there
was nothing in the law to FORBID such
manner of payment.

State Department Told
Of Moroccan Trouble

officials Of the State Department are
today watching closely the develop
meuts in the Moroccan situation, in
which a crisis seems imminent.
The German embassy has notified the
department OF the sending of a cruiser
to a Moroccan port. accompanying this
notification with the explanation that
the presence of warship was deemed
necessary for the protection of large
commercial interests.
The United States has no especial in
tercst in this situation. 1t is believed
here that no serious friction between
the powers will result from Germany's
show of force.
