OF paying the pensions of old soldiers
will be transacted from here. The Jobs
of eighteen district pension agents at
$1,000 a year each, will be abolished and
the clerks, several hundred in number,
will be transferred here.
The Senate action was taken under
great pressure and only after hard
and persistent fight by the House for
several sessions to get the agencies
abolished.
The estimates are that a saving OF
about $250,000 year will be effected by
the change. BY reason of the patron-
age involved, Senators have clung to
the agencies to the last.
The Senate passed the pension appro-
priation bill, carrying about $50, 900 OO0
last evening. This means that the
holding UP Of pension money due the
veterans will be ended. The House
will pass the bill promptly and tho
President Will sign It. .....- .
Senator McCumber asked the Senate
to yield to the demands of the House to
abolish the agencies. saying the oppo-
nents of the agencies were trying to
'starve the soldier until those who
favor retaining the agencies will agree
to their abolition"
About $9,000,000 due pensioners was
held upon account Of the dispute be-
tween the two houses over the bill. The
result has been that no end of COM
plants from veterans on account of the
delay have poured In on Washington.

popularity OF the institution. The num-
Der OF patrons during the month of
July was A,056, large percentage of
whom were women. The warm wealth
er has increased the attendance, which
during the last few days has reached
the 200 mark.
DR.. Hudson's recommendation is re-
garded with favor by the Commission
ers and the item probably will be in
cluded in the estimates. 1t is expected
by superintendent Hudson that the at
tendance this year will exceed all pre-
vious records. Owing to the fact that
aDce by desy fGp fSe
sage of the District appropriation bill,
the beach was not opened until July I.
Since that date the pools have been
crowded daily, the attendance on some
days being as high as 1900.
The total number of patrons at the
beach during the season of 1911 was

year of 1900 At this rate of increase.

TAKEN UP IN QUEST
OF CRIME EVIDENCE

tons were begun today to exhume the

for the murder OF william frost, her
second matrimonial partner, and the two
children of Hartman

This letter states that peculiar cir:
cumstances surround the death of Hart
man and that Mrs. frost and Edmund
Guenkel, her bartender, acted very
strangely at the time. Christian Hart
man intimates that 1t Is his suspicion
that Mrs. frost and Guenkei had a
hand in Frederick Hartman's death. 1t
Is his opinion that money was the mo-
tive. as 1t Is alleged to have been the
motive IN the frost mystery.
Evidence against Mrs frost and Guen-
kel, held without bail on the charge of
causing the death Of William frost, is
riling up rapidly. 1t has been estab-
lished definitely that arsenic was found
In Trost's stomach on post mortem ex-
animation. 1t has also been proved that
Mrs. frost purchased quantity Of ar
senic a short time before her marriage
and a week before Trost's death. Furth-
er, a chambermaid has sworn that she
saw Mrs. frost mixing powder in
water, in a room adjoining Trosts room
on the day of his death.
An extra watch is being kept over
Mrs frost in Moyamensing prison. for
fear she may attempt suicide. She
maintains her innocence and sticks to
