identity. In a few instances, Daven- port said vouchers still would be re. quired.
 Commissioner Davenport told of his efforts to ascertain the truth fitness of reports in the press and elsewhere that the pension roll was honeyeombed with frauds. He sent field men from pensioner to pensioner
 in the Washington agencyand is now doing the same in the Knoxville agency. Out of a total of 47 ,sS1 pen sioners who were seen and questioned only 26 cases of improper pensioning were revealed.
 The number of sailors and soldiers on the pension list at the close of the fiscal year was 57O,O50; dependents and widows 321 ,642, and army nurses 4O6. There were 529,s34 survivors of the civil war, 35,293 having died during the year.
 It is believed that only about 9 per cent of the 2,213,3S5 individuals in the United States service during the civil war are now living. the death rate of the survivors being now slightly in excess of 6 per cent yearly.
 The last pensioner of the revolu- tionary war, Mrs. Phoebe M. Tal- meter. daughter of Jonathan Morley, who served in a New Hampshire com pany, died at Brookfield, \. Y.. April 25. 1911, aged 90 years.
 Mrs. Brittania Kennon of Wash ington, D. C., a great granddaughter of Martha Washington, and who died during the year, drew a pension as widow, longer probably than any Oth- CT person in the history of the pen sion office having received $50 a month for almost 67 years. Mrs. Kennon was a widow of captain of the United States steamship Prince ton. who was killed February 2s, lS44. by the bursting of a cannon on fha4 vessel

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 16. - p A saving estimated at $1,000,000 an nually to the pensioners of the Unit ed States and eventually about $780, 900 a year to the government in con- tempated by a simplified plan for the payment of pensions without vouchers, which Commissioner of Pen sions Davenport submitted to the secretary of the interior in his annual report made public today. During the year s157, ,325,160 was paid in pensions, a decrease of $3,49S, ,164 from last year, making the total amount paid in pensions since the foundation of the government s. 230, 0,5s1, ,730. There were 55,5SO names dropped from the roll and 26,2OO added, leaving a net loss of 2S,9s5. The total number at the end of the year was S92, ,O9s, the smallest since 1892. Methods of economy re- suited in decrease of the cost of administration by $lO4,546, the amount being $2,517,12 the lowest since 1882.
 Commissioner Davenport s plan, which was devised at the request of congress and which will require the passage of a law, will greatly simplify the methods of paying pensions, re- sulting in making pension check upon the day on which the pension falls due, eliminate the cost to the pensioners, in a large majority of cases, of the execution of pension vouchers, which varies from $l to 8 yearly; decrease to a considerable extent the work of mailing checks and eliminate the sending of 4,000, 900 letters yearly through the mails, saving $SO,OOO thereby.
 The plan contemplates payment di rect by check mailed to the last ad- dress of the pensioner. Besides the endorsement on the back of these checks, the government will require certifieation by two witnesses as to

PHOENIX OFFICER FACING UGLY
 CHARGE

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 16.-While searching for a woman of supposedly shady character, Policeman Dan Hos mer forced himself into the room of MT. and Mrs. George Blue, at 245 West Madison street, Thursday even, ing, according to a story told by Blue today. Blue is exceedingly wroth over Hosmer's action and is threatening to take legal steps against the officer.
 ''He forced himself into our room and threw an electric flashlight on my wife. who had just gotten into bed.'' said Blue today. "Instead of waiting until she could dress or draw a sheet over herself, as any gentle man would have gone, he immediate ly turned the light on and kept it there till he was sure that she was not the woman he was looking for. "
 The story is long and sordid Out- IL lAab A N@ a man who assaulted his wife some time ago and is now waiting trial in the county jail, went looking for the wife. evidently with the idea that she was not living as she should. Though told that she did not live at 243 West Madison. he seems to have believed strongly that she did have room there. Thursday even ing he tried to get in to look for the woman but Mrs. \. B. Toney, Blue s motherinlaw. who owns the place, re- fused to admit him. She told him positively that the woman he wanted to find was not there. The fellOV went away and returned soon with Hosmer. Hosmer and his companion entered the hall and Hosmer pushed at the door of the room occupied by MT. and Mrs Blue, according to Blue's story. He did not gain en- trance immediately, as the door was braeed with a rocking chair. Blue yelled to him to stay out.
 "My wife's in here,' Blue told the officer.
 s'Who is your wife?" Hosmer ask ed in reply.
 As soon as he could force his way in. Hosmer flashed his light on the frightened woman and then to all parts of the room. He argued with Blue that the other woman was in the house and finally according to Blue. went to the room of Mrs. Toney's fifteen year old daughter, into which he tried to force himself. Mrs Toney prevented him.
 Blue says that if there is any legal way in which he can have Hosmer punished he will take action.
