Arthur C. Wade tells New York Lieutenant Governor Higgins that Harry B. Bouton, Special Pension Commissioner at Erie, Pennsylvania, is being transferred to a position in Washington, D.C. Wade, among many other citizens, considers Bouton “one of the strongest and most influential men in our County,” and has signed a petition to allow Bouton to remain at his current post. Thus far, this petition has had no effect, and Commissioner of Pensions Eugene F. Ware, “has treated him very abruptly and given him no consideration.” Wade asks Higgins to bring the matter to the attention of President Roosevelt or Secretary of the Interior Ethan Allen Hitchcock.
