PENSIONERS ARE
DYING RAPIDLY
50,676 Names Have Been
Removed From tlie Pen
sion Rolls by Death Dur
ing the Past Year.
WASHINGTON. The Improved
methods of administration instituted
by Secretary Garfield, having for
their purpose the simplification of
business without any loss in accuracy
or responsibility, have proven of
great value, says the head of the de
partment of the interior in his annual
report made public today. The re
port covers a wide field, dealing as it
does with the work of the various bu
reaus embraced within its manage
ment, the territories, national parks
and reservations, District of Columbia
corporations, etc.
Secretary Garfield calls attention to
certain unscrupulous and unprofes
sional acts upon the part of a”Humber
of attorneys practicing before the de
partment, which resulted in their dis
barment. Some of these have brought
mandamus suits for a restoration of
their names to the list of those en
titled to practice. These cases are
now pending, but “in the meantime,"
the secretary says, “attorneys will be
notified, heard and disbarred In all
cases where 1 am satisfied beyond a
reasonable doubt that their conduct
as attorneys has been (Ljsreputable,
fraudulent, illegal or undoubtedly un
professional." The recent patent of
fice frauds, resulting In the confes
sion of one defendant, the conviction
of another and the acquittal of the
third are touched upon, and the state
ment Is made that it was the first
case of the kind that had occurred in
the one hundred and eighteen years
of patent office history. The commis
sioner of patents, it is stated, has
taken steps to provide additional safe
guards around the filing of patent pa
pers.
Regarding the movement for the
conservation of the natural resources
of the country, Secretary Garfield
says that It shows* the people of the
country have fully awakened to the
vital necessity of caring for what is
left of the public domain.
The pension roil, as usual, plied
up an enormous death rate, 50.676
names having been removed on this
account. Of these 34,333 were sol
diers and sailors of the Civil War.
During the entire year the total num
ber of pensioners on the roll was 1,-
006,053.
MAYOR WANTS WALKS
LAID IN CEMENT
lr. his annual message to council,
under the head of tree and park com
mission. Mayor Dunbar takes occa
sion to recommend that the paths in
the center of Broad and Greene
streets be laid in cement, as early as
possible, for protection against flood.
In touching upon that department
of the city government, Mayor Dun
bar writes as follows:
“This department, also, suffered
greatly front the effects of high water
—especially the greens in the centers
of Grene and Broad streets, which
had been put in excellent condition
when the freshet came, tore up the
centers of the greens and u-ashed
down a number of young trees and
shrubs. In this connection, I strongly
recommend that thb walks of the
greens be laid In cement. This can
be done gradually, say four blocks a
year. A number of large trees, eight
to twelve inches in diameter, have
been planted during the year. The
routine work is being kept up: but
thete is a great deal to he done In
the way of preserving our trees,
which serve not only as ornaments,
but add greatly to the health and
comfort of our cltibena."
