SOLDIERS CLAIMS
PREY FOR LAWYERS
Congressman Protest Against
Apparent Leak in War; j
Risk Bureau.

The way In which Washington
firm of lawyers Is endeavoring to get
20 per cent Of the back pay claims
Of soldiers who died In France from
their dependent relatives was the sub
iect of vigorous protest on the floor
Of the House today.
Representative McClintock of Okla
homa and Representative Knutson Of
Minnesota had letters read which
they received from constituents. These
letters called attention to specific
cases in which relatives Of men killed
in tho service who had back pay.
liberty bonds or other claims, had
presented them to the bureau of war
risk insurance. The only message
they received in return was a cir
cular contract from the Washington
firm of lawyers agreeing to collect
the claims for a 20 per cent fec.
Serious Inference.
As in each instance the same firm of
lawyers sent this contract; as in each
instance the claim had been presented
by mistake to the bureau Of war risk
insurance, and as the publication of
the casualty list does not give any
record of the claims for back pay the
Inference was drawn that some one
in the bureau of war risk insurance.
was giving tips to the Washington
firm Of lawyers.
Both Representative McClintock and
Representative Knutson and other
members on both sides OF the House
frankly stated this inference, and de-
nounced conditions which made 1t
possible for any lawyers to prey upon
the claims of the men Of the country
who have patriotically and valiantly
given their lives for the fight for
freedom.
Criticises Ruling.
Representative Hamlin Of Missouri
called attention Of the House to a let
ter which he had received reciting the
circumstances Of q soldier who had
made as beneficiary for his insurance
two nieces and q nephew. After this
soldier had been killed in France the
beneficiaries endeavored to collect tho
insurance, and were notified they were
not within the proper degree Of kim
ship to be benenciaries under the war
risk act. u. --'f -
Representative Hamlin emphasized
the fact that the soldier had paid his
premiums in good faith regulaly; that
the policy had been written naming
these nieces and nephews as beneffciar-
les, and that he anticipated many SINH
lar claims would be filed against the
government by persons who, with
some grounds for their belief, might
contend that the government aad not
dealt fairly with them.

CHANCE MAY TAKE

Postmaster, Long Backer Of

P. o. HAS THEM IN USE

City Postmaster Merritt o. Chance
may be selected as director of tele-
phones in the District Of Columbia
following the signing of the bill Civ
ing the President power to take over
telegraph and telephone lines.
That governmental control will be
tried out at once on the local tele-
phone system is fully expected. 1t is
also anticipated that the Post Once
Department will be named as the
agency to handle the program.
The selection of Postmaster Chance
as director of local telephones may

which would make him eminently nt
for the position, they hold.

the government service and through
out the city In general.
The automatic system OF telephones
now In use throughout the Post once
Department Is model OF the large
system as 1t would be installed later
by the Post ONCE Department in case
the control Of the telephone here is
given into it's hands.
The system is semi mi-automattc-that

service throughout the department, 1t

system in operation in the other fed
eral offices. and through business and
residence Washington.
Task of Great Magnitude.
While 1t is known to be the purpose
of the Post Office Department to in
stall a complete automatic system for
the entire city ultimately, 1t Is realized
that the magnitude OF this task is
great. and that perhaps only the part
automatic and part-manual system may
be realized for a while.
Installation of the automatic system
in the National Capital would save a
penses. One estimate goes as high as
$1.500.000 which would be saved an
nually in operating expenses alone.
The entire mechanical equipment
now used to operate the system In
operation throughout the Post once
Department is housed in a case six
feet high. six feet long and two feet
thick in the city post ONCE building.
The case is glass-covered, and the
operation noiseless.
