Lafayette Journal. The commissiofier’of pensions, E. M. Salzgaber, who has his headquarters at Washington, D. C., has notified Drs. S. S. Washburn,’ R. E. Wetherill and E. B. Ruschli, of this city, of their, appointment on the United States pension examination board These gentlemen succeed Drs. O. E. Throckmartin, of Battle Ground; W. F. Mcßride, of Dayton, and J. S. Morrison, of this city, who have served on this board for the past eight years. The recommendation was endorsed by Congressman John B. Peterson, of this district. Dr. WSshburn, because of his long, strenuous and ardent affiliation to the democratic party, will serve as president. President Woodrow Wilson insists that this medical committee be of non-partisan make-up, and following that advice Dr. Wetheril is the republican appointed. This change does not come unexpectedly as rumors have been afloat for some time that the personnel of the board would undergo a change.
