PENSION CASES DIMINISH.
Report of Colonel Ainsworth, Chief OF
the Records and Pension Bureau.


the Records and Pension Bureau.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l6-The total
number of cases coming before the
records and pension bureau of the war
department has been steadily diminish
ing, according TO the annual report Of
Colonel Ainsworth. chief of the bureau.
On the other hand the percentage of
cases requiring administrative action,
Or something more than a mere state
ment of the military history of the
soldier, has largely increased, involving
much more work in their disposition.
A large number of inquiries are now
being received from descendants of the
soldiers of the Revolution, and it is ex-
pected that these will be supplemented
by similar inquiries as to the soldiers of
the War of 1912, as soon as the mil ary
history Of these soldiers is complete.
Current Business Up to Date.
The current business of the Office has
been kept up to date, more than "a per
cent of the cases received being disposed
within "a hours of their receipt, and at
the close of the fiscal year, not single
case remained on the files waiting dis.
posal. Colonel Ainsworth says that
there are doubtless considerable mum.
Der of persons, who from ignorance of
the old law, permitting their regular
muster as officers of the volunteer ser.
vice, have failed to take advantage Of
its provisions. They are equally as de-
serving as the far greater number to
whom the law has applied, and it is
suggested that congress renew the now
expired act, this time leaving out all
limitation as to the time within which
claims must be filed.

A MOTORMAN'S VICTORY.
A Very Important Decision
AFT citing Indemnity De-
posits.
Railway Companies Cannot Withhold
Deposits Without Securing Legal
Judgment.

G. N. Hiukle, formerly a motorman in
the employ of the Oakland Railway Com
pany, has won victory over the South
ern Pacific Company, of which the Oak
land line is part. Hinkle, like all other
employees OF his class, was obliged to de-
posit SIS with the streetcar company as
bond to insure the latter against damage
to the car or other property under his
charge. At the same time he was obliged
to take out large policy in the Pacific
Surety Company, which insures the rail-
road people against ell loss or damage
caused by carelessness or neglect on the
part of those insured.
On April 30 Hinkle was so unfortunate
as to run into woman with his car. She
threatened to sue the streetcar company
for damages, but the case was compro-
missed for $3.50 without going to court.
The company discharged Hinkle and kept
his $25, at the same time calling upon the
surety company for the difference, $225.
Hinkle called upon Labor Commissioner
Fitzgerald, to see If he could get back his
$25 deposit, claiming that the surety COM
pany, to which he had paid all the assess
ments due, was responsible for all loss and
that the streetcar company had no right
to divert the deposit to any purpose other
than for damage to the car. The Labor
COMMISSIONERS attorneys, Bonita & Engs
LOOK up nlUkle case ana Degan suit
against the Southern Pacific Company for
the SIS.
The case came up yesterday. before JUS
tice Kerrigan. Hinkle's lawyers argued
that there are two classes of indem nifty
contracts, one against liability outside of
the company's property, and the second is
against loss and damage relating particu.
larry to the company's properly. The
present contracts existing between the
street railroad companies and their en-
ployes are of the latter class. Under a
contract there was no loss or damage to
the indemnifed and could not be until it
should be forced to pay under court pro-
ceeding. Inthe case in question the evi-
dence showed that the street railway COM
pany made settlement or compton, Sc
outside of the jurisdiction of the court,
and therefore the transaction did not mil
itate against the employed.
Justice Kerrigan took a similar view
and added that the indemnity contract
was without consideration and conse-
quently void. He gave judgment and
costs in Hinkles favor.
This decision is of great Importance. be-
cause several thousand railroad and street.
car employees are in the same situation
that Hinkle was. In the hands of the
streetcar companies are thousands OF
dollars on deposit.

FIFTH DISTRICT POLITICS.
The Republican Convention VIII
Very Soon Be
Called

There will soon be lively and general
party interest in the coming Republican
Congressional Convention of the Fifth Dis
trict, which has yet to name a candidat to
for Congress.
The convention adjourned at Sacra-
mento to the call of the chair, and the
chairman, James Alva Watt, is expected
to issue the call within very few days.
Nothing has yet developed to indicate
whom the convention may name.
There are number of names which are
constantly mentioned in connection with
the nomination. but the only aspirant
who is yet making an active and aggres-
sive campaign for the nomination is
County Clerk G. #. Curry.
Mr.. Curry has the backing of many
friends and declares himself conf
dent of securing the nomination. julius
Kahn and Frank II. Powers are more
quietly interested in their own fortunes in
the same field.
Alfred Bouvier is later candidate.
Loud and his friends have not yet begun
an open canvass in the present Congress
mans behalf.
The prospects of Republican success in
the Fifth District are so exceptionally as
suring this year that new candidates NAV

The Fifth District, especially in that
portion comprising Santa Clara and San
Mateo counties, will demand protection
above everything else this year. Santa
Clara County raises half the prunes pro-
duced by the State, and the Wilson bill
has dealt this great industry prostrating
blow along with others upon which these
counties depend for their prosperity
Joseph P. Kelly will be quickly repudi-
ated by SO large an element of the Demo-
cratic party who cannot abide the candi-
date of Rainey, Daggett, Lanigan and the
push" that opposition to the Republican
candidate will be still further weakened. n
The plans OF the Populists in the Fifth
District are as uncertain in tie minds of
the Populist leaders themselves as they
have been all along. They will make up
their minds when the St. Louis trouble is
over. Mayor Sutro and Taylor Rogers.
who was the Populist nominee two years
ago, are the only ones who have been
prominently mentioned for the nomina-
ton. Now it is understood that Mayor
Sutro does not want to enter such losing
fight, and Leading members of the party
do not believe that Rogers will be the man.

A LAW POINT.

Decision OF the Supreme Court as to
the Admission in Evidence of Pro-
fessional Communications.
The Supreme Court yesterday reversed
the judgment of the lower tribunal in the
case OF Samuel G. Murphy and the Pacific
Bank against Columbus Waterhouse. The
action was brought to recover $40. 900 se-
cured by Waterhouse from the bank on a
promissory note, and in the lower court
the judgment was in the banks favor. In
Warehouses appeal he contended that
the lower court had erred in excluding the
testimony of Attorney Dorm, who was
present when the note was made, and was
not allowed to testify by the court on the
ground that ne was the banks attorney
and his knowledge was obtained in the
way of privileged communication. The
Supreme Court decided that the testimony
of Dorm was wrongly excluded, being
privileged only as to strangers and not as
to the persons whom he represented.
Error was also found in the instruction of
the lower court to the jury, the Jurors hay-
ing been told that their minds must be
convinced by the testimony adduced
whereas weight of evidence or preponder-
ance OF probabilities is sufficient in civil
cases.
