He Says He Has Xever Made Bemovals for Mitical Keasons, ASHE IS USABLE TO EEMOTE AXIOXE Washington, March 19. The examina tion of Commissioner Baum, of the Pension Bureau, was resumed to-day by the special Pension Office Investigating Committee of the House. The Commissioner said that Secretary Xoble had yesterday disapproved his recommendation for the appointment of his daughter, Mrs. "Walters, as his private secretary, and had ordered her to return to her work in the Census Office. 3Ir. Enloe asked the Commissioner if his sen, when acting as appointment clerk, had not charged a notary fee of 25 cents. He re plied that his son was a notary before he (the son) went into office, and charged a fee. The matter was not stopped by the Secretary of the Interior. There had been complaint because the chief clerk of the "War Department had charged such a fee for swearing in a great number of persons. "Witness suggested and penned an amendment "which Kcpresentative Cannon inserted in an appropriation bill, stopping the practice and making it the duty of officers of the departments to do this work without charge. He did this it hile bis son was in the office. Mr. Enloe asked the Commissioner how much time he had been absent from his office since his appointment as Commis sioner. Mr. Itaum did not know. There was a record ot his absence, and lie would furnish it. He had observed the civil service law with the same fidelity that he observed other statutes. He never made a removal except for cause. Various Causes or Removal. The causes of removal, said the Commis sioner, were various. He did not think the law defined these causes. Incompetenry and drunkenness were causes. Asked for other causes, he siid: "If a man enters upon an intrigue to injure the office or to injure the Commissioner and has engaged in giving out information and giving aid and comfort to those who are trying to destroy the Commissioner or throw odium on the office, I regard that as a cause, and a good one with emphasis, and I have acted on it in several instances." He had never re moved any person because of difference in politics. After going into the history of the cir cumstances connected with the demand for the resignation of Green B. Baum, Jr., Mr. Enloe asked if the witness, when he re turned to "Washington, had seen the Presi dent in regard to it. The Commissioner said his son had an ap plication pending before the Interior De partment to be admitted to the bar of the de partment. He spoke of this to the Presi dent, and took occasion to speak of the serv ices his son had rendered in the Pension Office, saying he had discharged his duties with energy end intelligence; and told the President he would be perfectly willing to have the 800 persons in the Pension Office examined as to the correctness ot the man ner in which they came into the service. Mr. Kaum's Talk "With the President. "Witness also spoke to the President of the charge that his son had attempted to defraud the government of 572 which came into his hands; told the President the circumstances, and said that in his opinion no greater outrage had ever been perpetrated than to charge his son with undertaking to withhold that money from the government. "Witness then spoke ot his son's desire to practice before the Interior Department. Did not speak with reference to his son in office, and did not desire that. His son was not admitted to practice. Assistant Secretary Chandler acted on the application. "Witness had nevertalked with the Attorney General or any one else with a view to the prevention of criminal prosecution of his son. Had never told his son or any one else to endeavor to stop prosecution. Mr. Enloe asked if, in his interview with the President, the witness had told him there was a conspiracy in the Pension Office to break down the witness administration. Commissioner Baum replied that he did rot remember that in the interview he had made such a statement to the President, -but he had told the President so at some time. Mr. Enloe Did he state that you could remove anyone hostile to your administra tion, regardless of the views of the Secre tary? Itaum Cannot ICemore Anybody. Mr. Baum I cannot, under the laws and the Constitution, remove anyone, and of course the President did not tell me any such thing. I cannot recommend. Mr. Enloe Did he say he would have the Secretary approve your recommenda tions? Mr. Baum I don't think our conversa tion led to that. I don't recall such a state ment. Mr. Enloe next put in evidence affidavits made by Messrs. Howard and Engle (clerks in the Pension Office), whose dismissal the Commissioner had recommended, making charges that Horace G. Stover had paid Theodore Smith J50 to be transferred to the field; that they had seen Stover give Smith the money. It was charged that Green B. Baum, Jr., got this money and had solicited money ot Engle. Mr. Paysou said this related to a matter long after young Baum was out of office, but that he would not object to the affidavits, if it were expected to connect the Commissioner's recommendation for the dismissal of Howard and Engle with it. The Commissioner, in explanation of his recommendation of dismissal, read a letter dated September 2o, 1801, recommending the dismissal of Special Examiner Francis M. Taylor because he was an unsuitable person to discharge duties in connection with pension claims, and also because he associated with George B. Fleming, who had endeavored to break down the Pension Gffice. Dismissals Ask-d for Conspiracy. Mr. Baum also read letters recommending the dismissal of J. E. Engle and Edward Howard because they had conspired with each other to destroy the character and standing of Special Examiner Stover by charging that he had paid to secure his transfer to the field, and had also tried in injure the character ot the Commissioner of Pensions by charging that he had been im properly influenced in the matter of Stover's assignment. The Commissioner said he had thoroughly investigated this matter, and had come to the conclusion that Howard and Engle had made ialse charges. He then read another letter in reference to Taylor, charging that Taylor was prejudiced and overbearing in his treatment of pension claimants; that he met applicants as if they were frauds, and that he acted as a spy upon the Commis sioner. In connection with the recommendation that Engle and Howard be dismissed, the Commissioner submitted a second letter to Secretary Noble. This letter began with a statement from an affidavit of Mr. Ford, chief of the record division, charging that Engle, while temporarily chief of the di vision, had betrayed a girl in the division and had publicly boasted of her betrayal. Continuing, the letter said that in viola tion of law Engle carried a pistol, and gave a conversation between a man named Tonkey and Engle, in which the latter said they in tended to down Baum, and placed Tonkey's hand on his pistol. The letter then charged that Engle was a false swearer, a "rerater," n rnnsnirator arainst the chief of the bureau, a bttraver, and one who carried a weapon with the suggested intention of assassination. Discipline Blust Be Preserved. Howard, the letter charged with being a conspirator, and also that he hid made an improper suggestion as to pension claims in consideration of being assigned to the field. The letter then demanded the dismissal of Howard, Engle and Taylor, as neces sary for the proper discipline of the office. They were charged with attempting, bv attacks on the Pension Bureau, to bring the pension system into disrepute, and the letter also alleged that George B. Fleming, a discharged examiner, who went out ot the bureau with an un savory record, had started the attack and was publishing false and malicious attacks In the public press against the Commis sioner. The letter closed with the state ment that there were a small number of ac tive and malignant intriguers in the Pen sion Office, and demanded that he (Baum) be sustained as necessary to the good gov ernment or discipline of the office. Becurring to the charge that Engle had betrayed a young girl, Mr. Enloe asked if she were still in the Bureau. The Commis sioner said he had told Mr. Ford he did not wish to learn her name; he had heard she was conducting herself witlj propriety, and she was still in office. Asked if he thought such women should be retained in the public service, the Com missioner said he bad endeavored to keep the service clean, and that such matters had received considerable attention from him. It was a matter of public notoriety, he said, that there were here and there in the service women who had once gone astray whose offenses had been condoned and who had not been turned out. EULOGIES 117 THE HOUSE. Eloquent Exprcsilons or Begret on the Death of Senator Plumb. Washington, March 19. In the House to-day Delegate Smith, of Arizona, asked for the consideration of a bill amending the act approving the funding act of Arizona, passed in 1890. The bill simply provides that the interest on the bonds shall be pay able semi-annually instead of annually. In order to meet objections raised by the Alliance members, Mr. Smith moved to strike out the requirement that the principal shall be payable in lawful money of the United States. The amendment was 3greed to and the bill passed. The House then proceeded to the consid eration of resolutions expressive of the sor row with which the House has received the information of the death of Preston R riumb, late Senator from Kansas.
