I return without approval House bill No. 4580, entitled 'An act granting a pension to Farnaren Ball.'
I return without approval House bill No. 5234, entitled 'An act granting a pension to Cyrenius G. Stryker.'
I believe this claim for pension to be a fraud from beginning to end.
It seems to me, however, that it would establish a bad precedent to provide for her from the Federal Treasury.
