FRAUD CONSPIRACY 'ALLEGED
hav been pensioned ; upon snowing
service of l9y day, while soldier of
th civil war must nav merna iw
day to attain a pensionable status,
senator jonnson or Maine, cn airman
of the pension committee, pointed to
th previous Indian war pension act
precedent for th 10- day provis
ion, contending that to increase th
ervlce requirement would ho In. fact
discrimination against thos serving
in th later war. .?..
Heeald h was not concerned as to
the expense, so long a he was con
vinced that the men who served In
these war had rendered a great and
perilous service to their country. He
called attention to the fact that this
bill will pension men of th regular
array who served under Custer and
who fought in th Sioux war against
Sitting jBuII. who have not been recog
nized in previous legislation.
Thomas Makes Economy Visa.
Thomas declared that the time came
long ago when member of congress
dared to oppose ' pension bills. The
pension roll, he said. Is no longer a
roll of honor, because it-includes not
only those who served well, but those
wno served not at all. He declared
that people seem to be actuated by a
common purpose to get all they can
from the publlo treasury, but the time
has come to remember pledges of
economy, and stop some of th outflow.
Senator Shafroth, Thomas' colleague.
took the opposite view of the question.
He held that the veterans of the In
dian wars are entitled to be placed on
th pension rolls because of unusual
service they rendered - In th pioneer
days of the west.

in some places considerable tracts are

A resolution. Introduced at the dis
trict convention of the Woodmen of
the World held on Wednesday after
noon provided for the direct voicing
of the membership on measures
through the application of the refer
endum, the sending of, on delegate to
tho head camp from each local camp,
and the doing away with district con
vention entirely. The resolution is
one sent out by a number of small
camps in the vicinity of San Fran
cisco, and alleged to be Indorsed by
134 small camps In tho Jurisdiction.
It was indorsed by Arleta camp of
this city, and thereby placed before
the committee on resolutions. A. L.
Barbur of Webf oot camp and James
Ruddlman of Multnomah camp fa
vored th principle of doing away with
th "district convention as matUr of
useless expense, and' electing th del
egate to th head, camp session by In
dividual vot - ot th membership In

This wis Y0t4 own br TI to 40.
Ther is a strong sentlmant in fay or
of. abolishing tho district convention,
but not of giving on delegate to th
head camp to each local organisation.
Som -bf th larger city local, camp
hav as many members as 60 ot the
smaller camps.
Opposition to th application of the
referendum comes . from member
known to; bo advocate of th prlnclpl

th attendance at th local camps Is
too alight to secur an intelligent ver
dict on a measure If submitted to th
membership, and that In matters of
fiscal policy and lnuranc th mem
bership cannot be , Informed should
there be a neo slty at any time for
raising the rates. '
Ther has been a persistent agita
