THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER' 3.0, 190& STEWART ,18 CHIEF G. A, R. Veterans Elect Prin cipal Officers. -, PENSION BUREAU GETS SCORING Committee Characterizes Medical Rules as Adaptable to Criminal Instead of Equity Court Re port That Coni Evans Head. WASHINGTON, Oct. 9,-r-Tho Grand Army got down to business today and the encampment of the order, besides hearing: an address from Commander-in-Chief Torrence, and reports from a num ber of officers and committees, elected a new head for the ensuing year. The new commander-in-chief of the G. A. R. 13 General T. J. Stewart, of Pennsyl vania, who was a candidate for the honor a year ago. His competitors today were General John C. Black, of Illinois, ex Commlssloner of Pensions, and Colonel John McElroy, of this city. The name of Daniel Sickles, of New York City, wis presented, but he withdrew from the race. William M. Olln, of Massachussets, was elected vice-commander-ln-chlef and James M. Averill, of Georgia, Junior vice-commander-in-chief. The election of other officers went over until tomorrow. The three active candidates for the honor, of entertaining the G. A. R. at the - next annual encampment are Saratoga, Atlantic City and San Frahclsco. There seems, to be quite a sentiment In favor of choosing a city between the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and It is said that the encampment may go to neither of The three cities named if a city In the Middle "West actively pushes its claims. Aside from the election of these officers, the most Interesting feature of the en campment was the report of the pension committee of the G. A. R. This com mittee, severely scored the medical divis ion of the Pension Bureau, declaring that it was a division where were executed the claims of veterans seeking pensions. It accused the personnel of this division of approaching the reports of the examining surgeons throughout the country with suspicion and distrust, and as made In had faith. It denounced the reports that extensive frauds were " practiced in' pen sion claims as absolutely baseless. Memorial Bridge Dedicated. Thousands of veterans and their wives not delegates to any of these organiza tions attended army corps reunions in the big tents on the White House lot or spent the beautiful October day in sight seeing. A feature of the " afternoon was the dedication of the corner-stone of the proposed memorial bridge to connect Washington with the National cemetery at Arlington. Secretary Root was the orator of the occasion. At the outset a resolution was adopted expressing the grief of tlie convention at the death of President McKInley, and I its regret over President Roosevelt's' indisposition. The resolution was offered by General Edgar Allen, of Virginia, and was as follows: "Resolved, That while " we still mourn ydr country loss, it is a source, cf .re joicings that Theodore Roosevelt; as. suc cessor to our beloved and lamented com rade, William McKInley, is thoroughly in sympathy with all that tends to pre servation of the memories of our glorious past, and recognizes the claims of the veterans who fought for the preservation of the Union, and that while he cannot be of us, he Is -with us by the ties of comradeship which he won In our coun try's later examples of American valor. "Resolved, That we deeply deplore the inability of the President to join in our exercises and entertainments to the ex tent of his desire, and we hereby express our earnest solicitation that he may speedily be restored to full health and activity In working for the public good and bo ever protected by the Divine arm from every ill." . The greater part of the afternoon ses sion was devoted to the election of Na tional officers. There was a sharp con test over the election of a commander-in-chief, but it was concluded by the first ballot. Four condidates were placed In nomination: General Stewart, of Penn sylvania; General John C. Black, of Illi nois; General Daniel Sickles, of New York, and General McElroy, of the Dis trict of Columbia. General Sickles with drew before the vote .was taken, and he himself seconded the nomination of Gen eral Black. The first ballot resulted in' the election of'General Stewart, the vote ( being as follows: ' Stewart 467 Black : 272 McElroy S3 For senior vice-comma,nder, the' only candidate in opposition to Mr. Olln "was J. I. Smith, of Ohio. Mr. Olln's vote was 421 and Mr. Smith's 226. Mr. Averill, for junior vice-commander, -was opposed by L. C. Way, of Florida, . and Mr. Shaw, of West Virginia. The vote resulted: Averill 557 Way 57 Shaw v 2G Reports of Officers. Commander-in-Chief Torrance's address was made this morning, and referred to the standing committee having In charge the reports of officers, after which the other reports of general officers were pre sented. Official reports were made by the senior vice-commander, the junior vice-commander, the surgeon-general, the chap-lain-in-chief, the adjutant-general, the quartermaster-general, the inspector-gen--eral and the judge-advocate-general. In his report, Surgeon-General W. R. Thrall, of Cincinnati, recommended that the office of surgeon be made honorary, and that the mortuary and health features which the surgeon-general is expected to supply be furnished the adjutant-general. This recommendation is made. Dr. Thrall says, because of the Impossibility of getting complete statistics from the department medical directors. He makes no further report, saying that to go fur ther would be to palm off statistics which would be. entirely unreliable: Chaplain-ln-Chlef Thomas N. Boyle, of Pittsburg, also speaks of the futile at tempts he has made to secure statistics of attendance at Memorial day services,. but he attributes the neglect to supply the facts to the advanced age of many post chaplains and of their comrades. In his report, Inspector-General Wil fred A. Wethorbee, of Boston, says: "I find th'at our weakest departments, as well as our weakest posts, are those which do not have a woman's relief corps connected with them. It has been truly said that the success of all great under takings has been largely due to 'the In fluence of woman. The Grand Army of the Republic can give testimony to the truth of that statement. I most earnestly recommend that every post that is not so blest take steps at once for the for mation of a corps. The smaller and more remotely situated the post, the more need of a corps." The report of Adjutant-General Silas H. Towler, of Minneapolis, shows that on June 30 the muster roll of the Grand Army contained 2G3,745 names of members in good standing, inG that there were 6511 posts. The figures -as to membership oor ,a net leas since the preceding year of ESOi. The adjutant-general says that the high-water mark of membership was reached in 1S90, when It numbered 409,489, and that there has been a gradual decline since that date. Commenting on this cir cumstance, he says: "It is indeed encouraging that notwith standing the. Inevitable increased loss 'by death, the gains by muster-in and relri statement overcome It. There are still living over 900,000 of the men who were a part of that Grand Army of the '60s, and of that number less than 73,000 are over C2 years of age. This suggests to me to say that if proper energy were put forth, the Grand Army of the Republic ought to in crease in numbers instead' of decreas ing." The death loss-for the year as shown by the report is S299, the percentage based on the number of members in good standing at the beginning of the year is 3.08, as against 3.02 per cent for the preceding year. While the election of officers was in progress this afternoon the encampment received a visit from a delegation of women of the Woman's Relief Corps, consisting of Miss Clara Barton, Mrs. John A. Logan, Mrs. Torrance, Mrs. Black and Mrs. W.--C. Jones. They were es corted to the platform and presented to the encampment. They were received with complimentary cheers. Mrs. Jones made a report of the operations of the Relief Corps for the past year, showing that $160,000 had been expended for the relief of the corps, vrtiile during Its en tire history more than $2,347,000 had been thus spent. As the ladles filed down the aisle. In taking their departure, the dele gates rose to their feet and sang "Auld Lang Syne." At 6 o'clock the convention adjourned until tomorrow. WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS MEETS. Miss Clara Barton and Several Otner Notable Members Honored. . WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. The twentieth annual convention of the Woman's Re lief Corps began its session at the Church of Our Father today. Mrs. Callsta N. Jones, of Vermont, the Na tional president, presided, and delivered her annual address. The order was shown to be In a flourishing condition. Over $42,000 was expended during the year, leaving a fund of over $11,000 on hand. Mies Clara aBrton, of the National Red Cross Society, who Is now the only surviving honorary member of the or ganization, was then escorted to the plat form. Her feeble health would not permit her to more than murmur her thanks.' Mrs. John A. Logan, Mrs. John C. Black, of Illinois, and Mrs. Dlston, wife of the Surveyor-General of Alaska, who traveled 7000 miles to be present, also were simi larly honored. The remainder of the day was occupied In listening to the reports of National officers and various executive boards. Officers will be elected tomorrow. RECEPTION BY MRS. ROOSEVELT. Members of "Women's Branches of the G. A. R. Received. WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. One of the largest receptions incidental to the G. A. R. encampment was given by Mrs. Roosevelt to the patriotic organizations of women meeting in National conven tion during the encampment. It was held at the Corcoran Art Gallery from 4 to G o'clock this afternoon. From the time the doors were opened until the close of the reception, a constant stream of callers, white and colored, were in troduced to Mrs. Roosevelt, by whom they were greeted with a cordial hand shake. Mrs. Roosevelt was assisted In receiving by several ladles of the Cabinet.- 'DauRltters of Veterans. . WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. The Daughters of Veterans met today, the principal events of the morning being the reception of visiting, delegates, In the afternoon, reports of committees were read. ; '. "a .r Ladies of the Gv A.

Routine work and the seating of delegates oc cupied the time of the day's session. THIS REPORT LOST EVANS' HEAD. Facts BronRnt Out at Investigation of the Pension Office. WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. Among the of ficial documents presented to the encamp ment of the G. A. R. this morning was the report "of the committee appointed last year to Investigate the administration of the Pension Office by the then Commis sioner of Pensions, Hon. H. Clay Evans, and to bring the result of the Investiga tion to the attention of the President. The first name signed to the report was that of General Ell Torrance, commander-ln- The Investigation was conducted In Washington, and the commission began 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 4 had been thrown out. "From a personal investigation," they say, "we are convinced that scores of claims are rejected every day that should bo allowed. 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 ex amining surgeons and to minimize the soldiers' disabilities." Referring to the fact that according to the report of Commissioner Evans for the year of 1901 there were 97,642 pension claims rejected during that year on med ical grounds, the report says: "The Commissioner justifies the action of the bureau for the reason, as he claims, that such ratings were not in ac cordance with the pictures, of the applicant-: which were parts of the reports. It st?ms to us needless to suggest that the living pictures, which the local ex amining board of surgeons had before It In tho persons of the claimants under going close scrutiny, were much better ones from which to determine the dis abilities than the so-called pen pictures reviewed at Washington." The committee makes the point that owing to the advanced age of claimants their disease must .grow worse Instead of better. "Such a condition," they con tinue, "we found apparent in many of the cases examined., and the logic thereof seems to "have been disregarded by the medical referees and his subordinates In the bureau. Doubts that should have been raised in favor of the claimant were. In our opinion, raised against him. We find that the bureau has been exceedingly technical, narrow and harsh In the ap plication of rules of evidence, even to the extent of requiring claimants to es tablish their right to a pension beyond all reasonable doubt Many of the rules of evidence applied to the business trans acted in the Pension Bureau find their salutary uses in criminal courts, not In courts of equity. "In the matter of the proof of marriage required of widows, tho evidence de manded both in quality and quantity Is unreasonable, and In many cases burden some and very vexatious. The usual presumptions in favor of lawful wedlock receive scant recognition in the Pension Bureau." Reference is made to the charge that a great many ex-Union soldiers are making an effort to obtain pensions by fraud, the report saying: N "That is a gratuitous insult to the de fenders of the Union, and without justi fication, as shown by the Commission er's last report, in which the subject of frauds is extensively dealt with. An analysis of the facts show that of the 159 "persons convicted last year; only ten were soldiers of the Civil War, two "of whom were deserters, or one to every 73.E78 soldiers and sailors on the pension rolls. We challenge any other depart ment to make as favorable a showing." The committee Indorses the suggestion that "those entrusted with disbursing the government's bounty should be defenders of the .honor of "those who receive it." The pension attorneys are also defended against the charge of fraudulent prac tices. The report closes as follows: "We respectfully submit that it cannot reasonably be expected that the pension laws will be fairly construed and justly ad ministered In accordance with their spirit and Intendment by those who' treat every applicant for a pension with distrust, re gard, his attorney as a fraud and brand the examining surgeons as incompetent and dishonest We contend that such an attitude on the part of those Intrusted with tho breaking of the alabaster box Of the Nation's love disqualifies them to administer so gacred 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 Re bellion there Is an Irremovable belief and conviction that the present Commissioner of Pensions is not disposed to administer the duties of his office In that spirit of equity and Justice to applicants for pen sions which they have a right to expect, and while we are actuated by no feeling of unklndness toward the honorable Com mlssioner of Pensions, we are convinced that justice to the soldier Is impossible oi attainment under the present admlnlstra tion of the Pension Bureau." TARIFFS SUIT. TRANSVAAL Revised Rates "Will Greatly Reduce the Cost of Living. JOHANNESBURG, Oct 9. The revised customs tariff gives general satisfaction. By It the cost of living will be reduced, and the mining and agricultural Industries will be materially benefited. The special duties of 6 cents each on poles, 2 cents a pound on sulphuric acid, 6 cents a pound on lead and 12 cents a pound on copper, wire have been canceled. All Iron will be admitted free, and the cost of building will be greatly reduced by the reduction of the xates on cement and timber. The al teration In the duties on cigars and cigar ettes from $3 75 per 100 cigars, wlihout dis tinction as to size, to $1 50 a pound, and frctn $3 to per 1000 cigarettes to $1 a pound Is. considered equitable. The special duty on jama and confectionery of $10 per 103 pounds will be reduced to 7. cents a pound. Tho special duties of $2 50 on oats and $1 25 on oat hay will be repealed. Anoma lous duties have been amended. Most of the changes have been agitated for years. This Is especially so with regard to matches, which were taxed $1 per gross for the benefit of the concession. This has now been reduced to 50 cents per gross. The Gazette says the new customs tariff will, take effect a fortnight hence. The' existing duty on dynamite Is left unal tered, owing to the fact that the questions bearing upon the conditions regulating the manufacture and importation of the ex plosive into the Transvaal Colony are un der discussion. The duty, says the Ga zette, will be dealt with separately, how ever, as soon as possible. Tariffs Are Only Pro-vislonnl. PRETORIA, Oct. 9. An extraordinary Issue of the Gazette says: The amended tariffs are only provisional, the government desiring ultimately to en ter the customs union on a basis which will not sacrifice the vital Interests of the Transvaal. Negotiations thus far have been unavailing because the Transvaal does not feel justified In Increasing the duties on certain foodstuffs to the extent which the coast colonies con sider necessary for the protection of their products. Meanwhile the condi tions In the Transvaal preclude fur ther delay In adjusting the unjustifiably high duties and the duties ordinarily rea sonable, but excessive In a country which practically has to be refitted. The duties, therefore, ate abolished on -machinery, building materials", metals and agricultural Implements. The large sacrifice of revenue Involved Id conrfdered preferable t to increasing by taxation the cost of renewing the Indus trial capital of the colony. As It Is im perative, however, to replace a portion of the loss, thedutles on wines and spirits are Increased. The cost of building will be greatly reduced by the removal of the duties on cement and timber. BOLD TALK BY CHAMBERLAIN. Warns Constituents Thnt Education al Bill Will Not Be Withdrawn. BIRMINGHAM, England, Oct. 9. The much-discussed conference of the Lib eral Unionists, which was called by Colonial Secretary Chamberlain to form ulate the attitude of the Birmingham Liberal Unionists toward the education bill, was held here today. Mr. Cham berlMn presided at the meeting and enunciated his views In a - lengthy ad dress. He acknowledged that the bill was not perfect, but said the Liberal Unionists must not split on that point. He said he had always been In favor of the government providing only secular education, but. rightly or wrongly, the majority ( of the country required that religious Instruction of some kind be given. If ' the country could not - get what It wanted from a unionist govern ment it would not get It from the radical government which would follow the government It might smash. The Colonial Secretary had several suggestions amending the educational bill so as to give safe and popular con trol. He said he could promise, how ever, that one thing was definitely cer tain, namely, that the bill would not bo Withdrawn. In conclusion. Mr. Chamberlain announced that if the gov ernment was defeated on this bill It would resign. He warned his -hearers" to mark this and to remember the con sequences. Plan to Capture Coal Markets. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 9. The Rus sians are planning to capture the Japanese and Chinese coal markets by facilitating the shipment of supplies from Manchuria.
