The commissioner devotes considerable
space to ciisci under the net of June 27, ll) I,
in which he says: "I'nder this act, aside
from i he requisite service end honorable
discharge ll. ere is one dud tmtl that can
give any right to pension viz., 'A mental or
physical disahilliy of a permanent charact
er, not the result of their own vicious
habit, which nicapiicitate them from the
performance of manual labor in such a de
gree as to render ttieni unable to earn a
support.' " Hut by order llll issued October
l"i, Imiki, tl c commissioner, with the ap
proval of Ihe nss'stant secretary, directed
that spicitic disabilities should be rated, in
applications under this act, ns they would
have bein rated under the chedules then In
force, if of service origin, up to 12 per
month. It is perfectly clear that under tins
order Mil, In granting pensions under this
net of June 27, Istsi. ibe act itself was set
aside mid disregarued, with the result of
granting pensions not authorized by nny
law. This was shown in I lie llennett cast,
w hich culled your attention to this order
nud to the pidctice under it. There tho
claimant applying under this net of June 27,
1W. was pensioned at tl'l ir month for
slight denl lies, not ofservice origin. This
slight deafness, could not therefore. interfere
wiihhiscapacitytoperlor.il manual labor.
And such a pension hn no warrant to
sustain it in any law It Is absolutely void.
"1 he statement of the medical releree
made it appear probable that under order Pi I
many pen-ions wereillecallvgruulvdand per
ueni to your order of Mav'27, lsP3, a board
of revision was lormcd, of the ablest und
most experienced men of the bureau, to
examine tlie cases allowed under that net,
but with (instruction to disturb no case
where by the most liberal construction of
the evidence the light to the pension could
be sustained under any law. In case where
it was believed that the pension could not
be sustained nud another medical examina
tion was thought necessary, the payment of
the pension w ns ordered to be sii-pcnded

as lo tin-cases under this act so far that sus

certain Hint there are mnnv ca-es like the
ileum tt case, where persons are not entitled
to any pension will ho removed iroin tho

result. I'liiloiihtedly under the system of

able to perform manual larbor, under the
persuasion of claim agents familiar witli the
effect of that order, applied for and received
pensions for specific disabilities not of serv

the large proportion of late claims under

A FAMILY OT BIX BUTCHERED.
An Awful Crime Perpetrated In Indiana
Tba Motive of the Murderer Was
Probably to Beoure Money
Drawn Out of Bank.
In Harrison township, near Washington,
Ind., the entire family of Denson .Wralton,
were most horribly butchered. A neighbor
went to the Wralton residence to inquire 'at
to the health of Mr. Wralton, who has been
ill for two wee s.
He found In a puddle of blood on the
floor the body nf Mrs. Wralton. In a room
adjoining Mr. Wralton lay dead. Ju the
same room wore the three children, two of
them deud and the other so seriously Injur
ed that she cunnot live. The children
killed were a lilt e boy 8 vears old and his
sister aged 1 1. In a front room Mr. Wral
ton's mm her; aged ti3 was lvingon the floor
dead. Her left band Was cut olf and the
right broken.
Tho old ludy is said to have had con
siderable money in the bouse, having
drawn it Iroin the bank during the recent
money, stringency, and this it is thought,
was the motive tor the murder, blood
hounds urnved from Seymour at noon next
day aud were put on the (rail.
