Grand Army Committee Says
Pension Board Too Hard
on the Veterans.
MANY GOOD CLAIMS ARE
DISALLOWED EVERY YEAR
Commander-in-Chief Torrance Makes a
Rousing Address, in Which He Alludes
to the Death of McKinley and the
Need of Congressional Action in Re
gard to Anarchy-Good Work of Wo
man's Corps Commended.
[aY ASSOCIATED PRESS.]
Washington, Oct. 9.-Among the official
documents presented to the encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic, which
met here today was the report of the com
mittee appointed last year to investigate
the administration of the pension office by
the then commissioner of pensions, Hon.
H. Clay Evans, and to bring the result of
the investigation to the attention of the
president.
The first name signed to the report was
that of Commander in Chief G. Torrance,
who stated in his address, that as soon as
the report was brought to President Roose
velt's notice the resignation of Commis
sioner Evans was accepted.
The investigation was conducted in
Washington and the commission beganl
their report by saying that Commissioner
Evans afforded them every opportunity to
make it thorough. speaking of the re
sults of their inquiry into special com
plaints they say that many of these were
without merit, but that on the other hand
many meritorious claims had been thrown
out.
"From a personal investigation," they
say, "we are convinced that scores ot
claims are rejected every day that should
be allowed.
Minimize Their Disabilities.
"The dead line, or place of execution, of
veterans claims was found in the medical
division of the bureau, where unlimited
discretion seems to be vested, to ignore
the reports and ratings of examining sur
beons and to minimize the soldiers' dis
abilities."
The report closes as follows:
"We respectfully submit that it cannot
reasonably be expected that the pension
laws will be fairly construed and justly
administered in accordance with the
spirit and intendment by those who treat
every applicant for a position with dis
trust, regard his attorney as a fraud and
brand the examining surgeons as incom
petent and dishonest.
"We contend that such an attitude on
the part of those intrusted with the break
ing of the Alabaster box of the nation's
love disqualifies them to administer so
sacred a trust.
"Hailing from widely separated states of
the union and familiar with the views of
our comrades, we deem it our duty in
making this report to declare that among
the survivors of the war of the rebellion
there is an irremovable belief and convic
tion that the present commissioner of pen
sions is not disposed to administer the
duties of his office in that spirit of equity
and justice to applicants for pensions
which they have a right to expect, and
while we are actuated by no feeling of un
kindness toward the honorable commis
sioner of pensions, we are convinced that
justice to the soldier is impossible of at
tainment under the l*esent administration
of the pension bureau."
For the Next Meeting.
The three active candidates for the
honor of entertaining the G. A. R. at the
next annual encampment are: Saratoga,
Atlantic City and San Francisco. There
seems to be quite a sentiment in favor of
choosing a city between the cities between
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and it is
said the encampment may go to neither of
the three cities named, if a city in the Mid
dle West actually pushes its claim.
The leading candidates for commander
in-chief are General Stewart of Pennsylva
nia, Gen. John C. Black of Illinois, Colonel
McElroy of Washington, and Gen. Daniel
Sickles of New York. General Stewart is
thought to have the lead at present, though
General Black's friends claim about an
equal number of delegates pledged. For
senior vice commander the race apparently
lies between J. M, Smith of Ohio, and tH.

C. DAVIDSON IS PROPER
MAN FOR LEGISLATURE
U. N. DAVIDSON,
Who Is a Nominee on the Republican Ticket for the Office of County Repro
'.' aentative.
C. N. Davidson, candidate on the re
publican ticket for the legislature, is one
of the many young men who are taking
an active part in the campaign and who

HOWARD FORFEITS
A BOND FOR $300
MRS. YBARRA SAYS DITCH-DIdGER IS
TRYING TO RUN HER CHILDREN
AND APPEALS TO LAW.
George Howard is in trouble again.
Only a few weeks ago he was.bound over
to keep the peace on bonds of $3oo. fur
nished by his employcrs, the Butte Plumb
ing company, for whom George digs ditches
occasionally.
Mrs. Ybarra complained at the county
attorney's office this morning that Howard
had been making himself obnoxious to her
self and her family again and asked for the
protection of the law. This will mean that
George or his bondsmen will be compelled
to dig up $30oo, which will be forfeited and
turned into the county treasury to help
educate the youth of Butte.
Besides forfeiting the bond Howard will
also be charged with disturbing the peace.
lie has been a sort of a protege at the
Ybarra house for many years. Continued
residence had made him feel that he was
one of the family and that he was called
upon to correct the children, reprimand the
heads of the family and in other ways
make his importance felt.
Assistant County Attorney Dan Yancey
will assist in the disillusion of the ditch
digger, who will be arrested this afternoon.

ber, 19ot, Mrs. Olds, disregarding the sol
emnity of her marriage vows, wilfully and
without cause left the bed and board of Mr.
