PENSION FOR WICOWS.

Those Who Have Other Sources of Support
Will BE Refused.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The pension
bureau will hereafter refuse pensions to
widows whose income from other sources,
added to the proceeds of reasonable effort
on their part, affords them comfortable
support This policy is provided for in a
ruling of Assistant Secretary Reynolds,
decision the assistant secretary says: ''It
Is evidently the intention of congress to
supplement the widows means of support
from her own labor and all other sources
by the pcnsion, only when such means
were insufficient for her comfortable sup
port. Under ordinary circumstances
without intending to lay down ar arbi-
trary and inflexible rule when n widow
is shown to have an income considerably
in excess of the pension provided by the
third section of the act from sources indie
pendent of her daily labor she does not
occupy a pcnsionaSle status Hereunder ~
Judge Reynolds has also held in the
case of James keating, Fifteenth regi-
mcnt, L. :. infantry, that where a sol
dier died before final action by the bureau
of pensions and his claim had been SUBJ
scqucntly rejected, the attorney of record
has no legal right to appeal from such
rejection without first obtaining from the
widow of the soldier power OF attorney
to continue its prosecution.
