Another Ruling of COmmissio ner
a. Sparks Reversed

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The secretary
of the interior to day rendered decision
in the case appealed to him from the COM
missioner of pensions by a Washington law
firm which had issued circular offering to
collect for contingency fee of 25 per cent
certain bounties which they claimed were
due to the widows of soldiers killed in bat
tie under the provisions of section 1856 of
the revised statutes passed March 10, 1886.
The secretary sustainS the commissioner
and decides that the half pay for five years
provided for under this section was not a
bounty but a pension. The effect of this
decision. it is thought, will be the aban-
dOnment of this class of claims
The secretary of the interior has rem
dered a decision in the case of r. NJ. Sher-
man and others in which he reverses de-
cision of Commissioner Sparks and holds
that Sherman, who held a section of a.
mortgaged tract of land, the entry of
which had been cancelled by the land Office.
was a party in interest and had such a
standing in the case that he might be heard
to maintain the validity of the entry in
question.
