Hart said yesterday that the story emanating from Washington to the effect that a large at torney fee would be collected when Indi ana's civil war claim was paid was entire ly untrue. Mr. Hart said that no attorneys were engaged In the matter. Senator Fair banks and Representative Hemenway, who took the matter In charge at the solicitation of Governor Durbin. Mr. Hart and Attor ney General Taylor, were the ones really responsible for the claim being allowed. Senator Fairbanks and Representative Hemenway, through their efforts with the special bill introduced by the latter, made Indiana's claim all the more possible. Mr. Hart said Indiana had no claim agent in Washington acting for the State, lie said no contracts had been made with any one for the collection of the money. The only contract that could be made In this regard would have to be done by the Legislature, and he says he felt sure that that body had done nothing of that kind. "After the till was signed by the President." suid Mr. Hart, "it then became a law, and the claim iaj taken to the auditor. Indiana's claim has been recognized by the Audi tor's Department at Washington as being legal, but there is no sDeciflc law govern ing Indiana's claim for interest, and on this score It has been disallowed hereto- BANISH PULL THE iWT A MAC A ZINE BEGINS ITS THIRD YEAR WITH THE MARCH NUMBER.

Now, since this barrier has ben taken away by the Hemenway bill, nothing la to prevent the State from petting the $713.""0 due. It Is said that within a few days the check for this amount will hf fur warded to the State, made payable to the Governor. The United States povernment recognizes no outside contracts in matters pertaining to claims, and when a claim is allowed the full amount of money is pnt direct to the Governor of the State. Thf-re are several States In the country that have claims against the country. Thee States employ agents, who go to Washing ton to Impress the Justness of the claim nnd the necessity of its Immediate pay ment. Now, these claim agents positions are sinecures, as the government takes its time in regard to claims, and is governed solely by law. If a claim is presented that Is not covered entirely by law it is laid aside or referred back to the State until that State can induce its representa tives in Washington to Introduce and pass measures covering the deficiency. I was third auditor of the treasury for four years, and I have seen many of these claim agents about the building. The only work of any consequence they do is when a bill Is sent to the Court of Claims, wlun they go before that body and argue the case. Some of them get 3 high as I10.00O a year.
