Additional Investigation Made as to
Alfred Owen's Death.
TRYING TO LOCATE PERJURY I
An Inspection of the Mine and Comparison
of Results With the Evidence Has
Created a Sentiment In Favor of
the Accused Miner.
Tho developments before Justico W. H.
Shoemaker yesterday Iti tho case of William
Julis, a minor, on a charge of perjury, In In
ducing two of his laborers Joseph Kusnkio
vflce and Charles Baroffski, to swoar falsely
noloro tho Uorouer's Jury as to the cause of
the death of Alfred Owens, who was killed at
Packer No 3 colliery On August Btb, last.
created an interest bordering upon a sensa
tion last evening. Julis, tho accused, re
mained committed In the lockup until last
night, when ho succeeded In securiue 300
ball.
Although tho feeling ran IiIeIi against
Julis during aud subsequent tn the hearing, a
decided change in sentiment has set In,
ravoranly to htm, since tho Justice concluded
hearing the evidence. This change has been
brought about by an examination of the col
liery by tho olUcijils who have taken an in
terost In tho caso, and Uicy now freely admit
that the osso in court will not appear as
strong against Julis at tho trial In court It
did at the cxparto hearing before tho Justice.
Upon the close of that hcarine Dennty
Coroner Cnrdln, Mine Inspector Stein and
Constables Tosh and Bolin, who wore Jurors
on the Itiquest, accompanied by Charles Bar
owski, one of tho witnesses, L. V. Police
man Crum and several of the mine
officials, made an inspection of the
part of tho colliory In miostion. ILirnw.
ski took tho patty to tho place where
no claimed uwens was killed by the fall of
rock aud coal. Ho then pointed out tho
place to which Owens' body was carried, 163
feet, by actual measurement mado yesterday,
from tho alleged place of death. But the
examination failod to beer out tho statement
of tho witness In many important respects.
Tho alleged fatal rock pointed out by the
wunoss proved to no but about half the size
and weight testified to ( the gangway sworn
10 as Deing uangerous was pronounced by the
inspecting party as quite safo; no coal was
found In the holo into which tho witness said
tho cavl which fell was shovclod. It was ad.
raittcd during tho discuicion that tho lanso of
aooui a month gave ample time to alter all
tnese appearances, but another importaut
point remains in favor of the accused Inde
pendent of tho others. The inspecting party
found that if the gangway was in the condi
tion It Is now at tho timo of tho accident, no
such iau as mat alleged could have occurred.
On this point Barowskf states positively that
timDerlng was iloile tUiSfe after the accident.
All tho mine ofllcials aro just as positive in
tho statement that no timbering has been
done, with tho exception of putting up one
prop somo yards inside tho place where the
iau is alleged to havo taken placo.
uuo of the prosecuting ollicials admitted
to-day that ho was inclined to believe that
the miner, Julis, was a victim ef a con
spiracy, but ho had no doubt that the case
would be pushed to trial to ultimately locate
tho porjury aud punish tho guilty party. "I
bellevo,"said he, "this should be dene to set
an example for somo of tho forelgneis who
6cem to have so little regard for tho solemnity
ana importanco of an oath before a tribunal.
Somebody has committed perjury, and he
should bo punished."

Washington. Sept. 1. Tile annual re
ort of Colonel H. Clay Hvana, the
tommlMloner of peiieton. for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 189. pre
sents some very Interesting facta In
connection with the condition of th
pemaion roll and the operations of the
bureau. The pension roll Is made up
of 753,451 surviving soldiers and 337,
415 widows or dependent relatives, and
053 army nurses. To them lost year
was paid $131,017,901, being $043,486
more than ever before.
The average of each class of pension
ers Is also higher. The cost of bu
reaus, attorneys' fees, etc., brought the
total expended up to $138,655,052, being
tjl.OH.fllS less than the appropriation.
The payments for pensions for the
year are classified as follows: General
law, $71,115,703; Spanish war, $28,000;
act of 1800, $04,321,460; fees paid to at
torneys were $470,909, against $730,000
In 1S9S. Total number of claims filed
during the year, 48,706; allowed, 37,
077; restored, 3.914; total cllowances,
Including Increasos, 89,064. Total
claims pending June 30, 1S9S, 035,069;
June 30, 1899. 477,239.
Total disbursements to pensioners
since 1806 was $2.3S9,910,974. During
the same period $15,490,986 went to ex
amining surgeons, $12,092,178 to pen
sion agoncles and $52,237,228 for sal
aries and other expenses of the pen
sion bureau.
The number of pensioners residing In
foreign countries is 4,300, to whom is
paid $033,309. Ot this number 2,139
reside In Canada 415 In Ireland, 605 In
Germany and 321 In England.
There are four surviving widows and
seven surviving daughters of tho revo
lutionary war on the rolls. HI ram
Cronk, of northwestern New York, Is
the only surviving pensioned soldier
ot tho war of 1812. Ho is 99 years of
age. The number of pensioned wid
ows of the war of 1812 Is 1,998. On
account of the Indian wars 1,658 sol
diers and 3,899 widows nre pensioned.
For service In the Mexican war there
are enrolled 9,201 soldiers and 8,179
widows. June 30, 1S99, tho total num
ber of pensioners was 991,519, being
2,195 less than on the same date in
1898.
The commissioner calls attention to
the fact that order 225, Issued Juno 9,
1S93, which provided for a readjust
ment of rates ot pension previously
granted under the operations of order
No. 164, is still in force, but he states
that no revision of rates under said
order has been made under his ad
ministration.
During the year 107,919 claims of all
classes were rejected In tho bureau.
A careful analysis of tho causes of re
jection of so ninny claims is glvon.
showing that a large percentage of re
jections occur In claims In which ad
ditional allowance ot some kind is
claimed.
In order that the present complex
system of pensioning may be simpli
fied, and to secure a more uniform
practice In the ftituro tho appoint
ment ot a commission on the revision
of the laws, rules and regulations Is
recommended.
Legislation is suggested extending
the benefits of the act of June 27, 1890,
to persons who Berved in the Confed
erate army and afterwards voluntarily
enlisted In the Union army or navy
prior to Jan. 1, 1S65, and woro honor
ably discharged.
The re-onnctment of the law re
quiring biennial examinations of pen
sioners who have been recently dis
charged . from tho service Is recom
mended, there being no way In which
the recovery of a penslonor from the
pensioned causes can be determined.
The act of June 7, 1888, the report
says, holds out Inducements and ot
ters a premium to the vicious to filo
fraudulent claims carrying large sums
as arrearages. It Is a bad law, that en
courages crime, and the government
has but little opportunity to disprove a
carefully prepared fraudulent claim
under this law.
Complaints hove been made against
the bureau for the stoppage of the pen
sions of those who enlisted or accept
ed commissions In the war with Spain.
These pensions ceased by operation of
law, and not uy any order or Instruc
tions from the bureau.
Up to this date the number of re
enlistments ot pensioners for service
In the war with Spain has been re
ported as 13 of the navy, 44 ot the rog
ular army and 00 of the war ot the
tebelllon.
