Notes:
Notes:
1. Where a claim for pension under section 2 of act of June 27, 1890, is rejected, attorney of record is allowed ninety days to take steps necessary to reopening.
2. If attorney of record shall have taken such steps, and within the time allowed him a new declaration be filed by a second attorney, such filing is contributory service on the part of the latter and is to be credited to the former.
3. If the original attorney fails to take the action required for the purpose of reopening, but instead files a new declaration, such failure is to be considered as an abandonment, and his position is the same as that of an attorney who has had no previous connection with the case.
4. After rejection and abandonment that attorney will acquire title to recognition who first files a sufficient declaration and valid power of attorney.
