PARIS, Dec. H. It has been learned by
the Associated Press that at meeting of
the Dreyfus commission next 'Wednesday
M. Victor Mercler, reporter of the commis
sion and one of the directors of the min
istry of Justice, .will submit a report
recommending revision of the case of Cap
tain Dreyfus. It Is not yet , positively
known whether M. Mercler's report will
recommend revision by the court of cas
sation or by court martial, but tjiere is
every reason to believe that the court of
cassation will now consider the case In
the fare of the facts gathered by M. Mer
cler at the time ot passing upon the other
documents submitted. '
While It la Impossible at this stage to
predict what view will be taken by the
commission. It .is expected that it will
adopt, at least by a majority, M. Mercler's
recommendation. If the revision -of the
case should be favorable to' Captain Drey-
,fus he will be restored to the army, no
Ynatter what protests may be 'made, out
t Is not expected that he will assume ac
tive service. , . ( '
t Mercler's report, it 1s believed, not

checks have been drawn payable to her and
delivered to her upon vouchers executed by
her, and the bank cashed such checks,
which were In due course paid at the sub
treasury upon which drawn, the govern
ment will make reclamation of (he amount.
In other words bankers and other person
who cash penlon checks are charged with
the responsibility of establishing the Iden
tity of the payees of such checks to the
same extent that they are charged with
the responsibility of establishing the Iden
tity of th.e payees and Of the checks Issued

It developed In the examination of th'a
claim that the soldier left a widow, who
Is supposed to have died In Florida. Moliy
Melton, a sister of the soldier, lmpertcnattd
her deceased slster-ln-law, obtained the
pension, ' forged endorsement of her de

timber and atone act were suspended, and
all such entries, aggregating a large num
ber, vwlll be acted upon in he regular
order by the general lnnd office.
The order Involves several hundred thou
sand acres of publio domain In the. west,
all entries on which, have been -held up
because of the big frauds perpetrated on
the government under the timber and Stone
act The suspension, which has, been In
force . many months, ha served t good
purpose, and the Interior department has
been the means of protecting and prevent
ing many fraudulent entries. A rigid
scrutiny of all entries under the act will
be continued, ' but the revocation of"' the
suspension order will have the effect of al
lowing all valid entries to be patented. '.
This was the Important development to
