But thut did no good to the who had fallen into the hands of sharks. As rapidly as the latter wer up, new ok their adva s0 Tur mend Brehas also be > m wiy and people ) shown ones with new tricks and rascality ‘Phere was but one means left and that was to establish a great bureau of claims. This idea was sugiested to a numver of poopla but wais put into practice first by the San Fran 1o Exnminer With the Examiner, Tre Brr has co-opera ted n the great work of affording relief to worthy claimunts, The Washington correspoudent of the aminer, Mr. Joln Wedderburn, who has cted as private seeretary to Senator b was detailed to o nize and take chary the burcau. His long service 1 Washington in both these capacities had given him a laryo acquaintance with government officials and povernment methods. Kuowing the men and the proper procedure to follow, ho was thosen as well qualified to pust claims chrough in the shortest time if they were Justly due. Thie best lawyers to be had we gaged and o full clerical foree put bureau. [n every instance the m chosen for their kuowledge of the w dot Congress was not less anxious to protect claimauts from robbery. The same kind of complaiuts had come to i (5 and gone to the members of congress as well. The com- mittees that had the Indian depredations biil under consideration investigated the oper tions of the claim agents and attorneys in connection with the Indian depredations claims. ‘They found that the claim agents had demanded 831, to 50 peveent from the men holding the claims, and in hundreds of es teld contr these figures. While congress, with little ap- were able, by metnods dangerously uwear the line of false ptenses. to induce the claimants to sign the s, to be only one way to That was to cancel all s it the foes that at- torneys might collect. The elaimants would thus be enabied to choose another acent if the one they nad first engaged had attomptod to defraud them, and tne contracts could not demand more than the specified r Tne ninth seetion o1 the vi was thus drawn to annul *all sales, transfors or as- signments of claims’ and “all contracts here- fore made.” The maximuw fee to be al was put at 15 per cent of the amount ed except in case of claims under 500 or where unusual work had to be done, when 20 per cent might be allowe The amount_ of business received diately after the opening of tho bureau proof of the confidence in which the peopi hold it and of the distrust which the ordi nary claim agent has aroused. In the weclks, from April 1 to May 15, claims to the amount of #.905,441.65 ; were filed with the vurcau on account of Indian depredation claims alone. All these go to the court of claims under the act and are in various stages of preparation and prosecution. He- ides the claims under the Indiandepreda tion act there had been filed at that date treasury claims to the amount of 323,604 French spoilation claims to chc wmount of $285,853: laud claims, $289,350; and patent and other claims to a large wmount, Since that date some £2,000,000 of claims have been filed with the burcau, snd it is now attending over 5,000,000 of claims. The need for the burcau may well be scen by the fact thatit now has on hand more s than all of the claim attorneys of hington combinca. The efforts of cougress and the establish- ment of the bureau was not appreciated by the claim agouts. They wanted to continue x > thon em- into the nowere rk to bo s the bill was still in parent ehance of possage, th immeo- is to thrive in thewr business of fleecing the needy claimant. They accordingly denounced the government and the bureau. They held the contracts ims. But the that the former could ot they made with th cancellation was made in the interest and name of the people. And it need not be doubted that the eminent coustitutional law- years who framed the act wu question did not Jo so without knowing what they were doing. The threats of the sharks undoubtedly had an_effect upon some men who desired to make now contracts and sceure the services of some other attorney, but this effect will soon_be destroyed and the omancipation of the claimant from the tyranuy of tho shurk will bo comblete, The amount of money that will be saved to the peopie by this work of Tuk Bk Buieat or Cravis,may not beealeulated. 16 will cer- tamly be very great.

Claimants and Attorneys. tvis important that claimants under the Inatan depredations law sbould understund that all contracts made by them with attor- neys were cancelled and anaulled by that act. Section # of the law explicitly says that “all contracts herctolore made for f and allowauces to claimants’ attorneys ar hereby aeclared void,” and the secretary of the treasury in issuing warrants for judg i 18 required to make them payabl only to claimants, their lawful b3 es or other representatives specified in the act, “except so much thercof as shall be allowea the claimants’ attorneys by the court for prose cuting said claim, which may be paid direct 10 such attorneys,” and the amount of the allowance which shall be ified The claim agents and attorneys are wakin wade is sp [ afight on the 1aw upon the ground that cone | gress has no power to annul private con- tracts, and hold that contrats involving a contingent fee aro irrevoca Claimants who are thus informed shoull pay no atten tion to it. Their obviously wise and prope course is to be_guided by the provisions of the law, whnich are so plain and explicit hat no one can erc as to thy mean g, &nd to pay no regard to op fulons of representations of men whose interest it is to defeat the futent of the law. The evident purposo of congross in do claring conteucts with attorueys void was to protect claimants, even if and it be granted that there 1s o question as to the powor of miress to do this, until that question 18 judictally determined claimants will mnke Ihistako not 10 thko the advantago which the law allows thom, and by failure to do so sub ject themselves fo tho exuctions of tho groedy claim ugents and attorneys.
