The three last claims, amounting in the ag-
gregate to 81, 424 90, were allowed in November,
1910, and were subsequently paid am not
aware of any law or regulation authorizing
their payment, and therefore cannot, of course,
give the authority for their allowance
The three last named gentlemen, who receiv-
ed those extra allowances, were not specially
appointed TO this duty, nor were their allowances
previously fixed by the Secretary of War, as
required by a regulation on file in this office,
which was adopted by Gov. Cass, as Secretary
of War, on the 23d March, 1888, and approved
by the President of the United States on the
same day. The following prohibition is ex-
pressed in the lth clause Of said regulation
at follows, that no officer executing any duty
prescribed by these regulations, will be entitled to
or receive any per centage, or other emolument.
or compensation therefor, with the exception of
such clerks as may be necessarily employed,
and whose allowances will be previously fixed
by the Secretary of War" This regulation
was not mentioned by Mr. Crawford in his re-
port, when he recommended Mr.. Kurtzs claim
for allowance; and, if it had been entitled to the
weight given to 1t 10y Mr.. Crawford when he
rejected claims IN analogous cases, would have
defeated the claim of Mr.. Kurtz, and would
have kept the door closed against claims of
similar character
