are expected to reach s., 600, 600. Last month
they amounted to a little over 81 600, 900, and
fell slightly short of the latter sum
in March. These figures represent first pay
ments on certificates, which are made as
soon as the certificates are issued. The regu-
lar payments of pensions are made quarterly,
and will approximate S25 600, 600 for the cur
rentyear. About {, 900 new pension certificates
are now being issued per month, represent
ing an average of 81 600 each and officials OF
the Pension Bureau think this rate will be
kept up during the year. Applications
ior the increase of pension allowed by the act
of March 3, 1888, are coming in rapidly,
and 5000 certificates, emitting holders to OBJ

Escape the Crowd.
Washington Special.
President Arthur is ailing again, and is
anxious to get away from Washington if he
could only find some place where he would
not be annoyed by visitors and office-seek-
ers. Not a day passes that the White House
is not overrun by people who call, most of
them, with no other purpose than to shake
hands with president. They come from all
quarters and in all kinds of "form," about
half OF them not even taking time to put on
clean linen and brush off the travel stains
dusty, perspiring, ill-odorous throng of no.
bodies, having no business but to crafty their
curiosity. 1t is not strange that President
Arthur grows nervous and i'll over the pros
pect of standing that kind of summer siege.
He will attend the opening OF the Brooklyn
bridge ceremonies and on his return to this
clay about the first of June, will repair at
once to his quarters at the Soldiers Home.
His private secretary, Mr.. Phillips thinks he
will give up his proposed trip to the Yellow
stone valley, because of the fatigue and dis
comfort OF having to undergo the innumera-
BILE ''rece ptions" that are certain to await
him. He will be less disturbed in this wav,
by remaining at the Soldiers Home, which
is about a mile distant from the terminus of
the nearest street railway, and therefore prac-
tically inaccessible to those who cannot af-
ford the expense of carriage hire occasionally
taking a run down TO some of the seaside re-
sorts for breath of sea air. In the early fall.
If he concludes to abandon the far Western
trip now, he will make a short tour Of the
Western cities

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
SOUTH BEND, May 14.-An ARRAY occurred
to-day between John Klingel, one OF our
most prominent citizens and president of the
school board, and a jeweler named Frank
Mayer. Both are Democrats, and Klingel
was on the bond of D. c. Rush, the default
Ing city treasurer, who skipped last fall with
$4,000 of the citys money unaccouuted for,
and had to pay $1,000. Mayer is a relative of
Rush by marriage, and was very active,
Klingel alleged, in covering up Rushs tracks,
getting Rushs registers destroying papers,
etc. Klingel also charged that Mayer got
some of the city's money, and used it in his
business and in buying and improving prop
erty, This morning Kiingel went into his
nephew's shoe store, where Mayer
has window, and they got
to quarreling, and finally came
to blows. Mayer beat Klingel, and would
have Drained him with stuck of wood, but
he was taken off He had a revolver in his
hand, but it is not known that he made any
attempt to discharge it. Klngel's injuries
are pronounced fatal by the attending
physicians, and Mayer is under IS, 600 bonds
to await the result. A few years ago Mayer,
so Klingel alleges, was so hard up that the
latter loaned him $500 or $500 to keep him
from losing his stock of goods. After Rush
had been city treasurer for some time Mayer
began to spread out, and bought real estate
largely, kept a horse and carriage, and
bought and put expensive Improvements on
residence. When the defalcation was made
public Klingel told Democrats and Repub-
leans that Mayer had been using the citys
funds

Ex-Postmasler-general Creswell is highly
indignant over the suggestion of his name
by some of the newspapers as the possible
successor of Green B. Raum. "The idea of
me accepting such an office after having been

breath of scorn. But a bigger man than
Creswell accepted the commissonership of
internal revenue after having served a term

Creswell would doubtless jump at the offer
to take Raums place.

Decision by the Court of Claims in Favor of
the Cadet Engineers.

WAsHISGToN, May 14-rhe Court of
Claims, to-day, rendered unanimous decis-
ion in the test case OF Leopold VS.. the United
States. This suit was brought nominally for
difference OF pay, but in fact to determine
the standing of the cadet engineers who grad
uated at the naval academy in the
years 1881 and 1882. The Navy Department
held that they were under graduates within
the meaning OF the act of August last and
were transferred by that act into naval ca
diets, and their pay cut down. As conse
quence of this they would all have been COM
PEELED to regraduate, and most of them would
then have been dropped under the act as sim
pie graduates. The court decides that they are
not under graduates, hence they were not
transferred into naval cadets, but now re-
main in service as cadet engineers A large
number are interested in the decision.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
SPRINGFIELD, May 14.-Complaints have
been received here during the past two
weeks of what seems to be series of syste-
matte swindlers. 1t appears that gang of
men is going through the counties in the
central part of the State selling lightning
rods. and devoting not more than one week,
frequently less, 10 each county. The plan
of operation is represented to be as follows:
An advance agent makes the contracts, bind
ing himself to put up, say 125 feet of rods
without charge, the remainder to be put
up at cost of seventy-ive cents or
S714 cents foot as may be agreed upon.
The next day three or four men arrive to
put up the rods, and they literally cover the
building on the plea that all this work is
necessary in order to make good job. The
jobs they did last week in Menard county
are known to amount to over $4,000. One
farmer found himself caught for q bill of
1926, another for $491, another for 1927, an
other for $500 and another for $160, these all
in one neighborhood, and probably a mere
