HIS RECENT DECISION ON PENSIONS

BY Which Many Helpless Children of De-
ceased Veterans Will Co Back on the
RoIls-Doctors Advocate a Health fsu-
reau in the Interior Departn,ent-Funds
Wanted for United States Cour;s-The
Behring Sea Hitch.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-The case which
called ont the decision of Assistant Secre-
tary OF the Interior Reynolds to the effect
that all idiotic, insane and other helpless
children of dead veterans whose names
had been dropped from the pension rolls
were restored thereto by the act Of 1895,
was that of Harrison T. Loeb, of Bucks
county, Pa, whose father was killed in
action at the battle of Gettysburg while
serving in company IL, One Hundred and
tifty-lirst Pennsylvania infantry. The
minor reached the siXteen-year limit June
8, 1879. His claim, based on permanent
helplessness, was fileG under the act OF
June 81, 1850, on December ., 1891, and re-
jected April Il, 1892, on the isround that
he was over 10 years of age at the date OF
fling the claim. The act under which he
applied provides that where a minor child
is insane, idiotic or otherwise permanently
helpless, pensions should continue during
the child's life or during the period OF the
disability.
Text OF the Sccretary's Ruling.
This proviso, it is held, applies toall PEN
sions heretofore granted or hereafter to be
granted under this or any former statute.
The issue presented was whether, by the
terms of the act, the pension of an insane,
idiotic. or permanently helpless minor
which had ceased by reason OF the minor
attaining the age Of l6 years before the
date of passage of the act was renewable.
II was held by q former assistant secretary
that such pensions were not renewable,
and all like cases were rejected Secretary
| Renohs, in reversing the former depart
| ment ruling and admitting these claims.
holds that where, under the general law,
the pension OF minor children who were
insane, idiotic, or permanently helpless
has terminated by reason O! attaining their
pensonabe ma ajority prior 10 passage Of
the act of June -, 1899, the pension may
! he renewed from the date of fling applica-
ton upon proof of Il continued and uniu-
| terrupted insanity, ldlocy, or helpless
ness"
Says the Law = Plain Enough.
In commenting upon the former ruling
/ Judge Reynolds says: 1T would seem
| that little further than careful reading.
( OF the act itself would be sufficient TO
demonstrate the fact that this law has
! been miscanstruod to the grievOus harm
| of class of the nations dependents who
! should receive, rs the law intended they
| should, the most benevolent consideration.
| No other Interpretation Of the law l. con-
| sisteuJ with justice. reason and the express
terms OF the statute The whole scope o.
| the law was TO provide for state oi de
! penGencc and the former Interpretation
seems TO me to Ue wholly al variance with
/ the Intention Of congress Some people
now want to know whether those dropped
| from the rolls will not be also entitled to
| arreaTage-the amounts not recovered
while they were not uu the rolls.
