Chicago, Feb. 2S.-The Chicago Press

ton:
Whereas, In the republic of France
n great writer, in the face Of temporary
opinion, dared regardless of conse-
quences, to maintain the right of free

tion-when the object Is for the gen.
eral public good, and
Whereas, Monsieur Zola has been
aided by NJ. Perrieux in boldly printing
what NJ. Zola wrote, and who is now
sustaining such expression by his own
course.
"Resolved. That the Press club Of
Chicago, the gathering ground and
and authors of Chicago, in Republic
which has been close to France In
many things, declares It's profound re-
gard and sentiment of helpfulness to
both the great novelist and to the
editor who published his letter. de-
clares, too, its belief in the justice of
the cause advanced, so far as was
demanded the free expression OF
thought for the good of humanity and
it's demand that all trials of all men
should be spoken to the world.
Furthermore, the Press club of

MEET MANY OBSTACLES.


Havana, Feb. 2s.-Little work was
done today by the divers from the tug
Right Arm. Capt. MCGEE, who is In
charge, seems to lack authority from
the wreckng people or others. and Is
indisposed to work on his own Judg-
ment, except in smaller details.
Capt. Sigsbee was on board the
lighthouse tender Fern until 2 o'clock
this afternoon. He waited for the
Spanish divers, but they did not APP
pear. Capt. Sigsbee thinks Spain has
a moral and international right to
make an independent examination, and
he will give the Spanish divers such
facilities as are possible.
Captain Sigsbee hopes the survey
steamer Bnche will return to the Tor
tugas tomorrow or the next day with
all the Names wounded left here, and
he also hopes to send on the Bache
hereafter all the remains of the dead
recovered in condition making It pos
sible to place in collins. The difficulty
experienced in recovering bodies is not
understood by any but the divers. The
latter yesterday worked for three hours
trying to bring out one body intact.
and one of the divers had a bad fail
and several got their air tubes tangled.
Even then they could not extricato the
remains.
The principal efforts of the ,iivere
now are directed toward clearing the

guns, matches, bridges, cranes and
gratings. Then. IL at all. the dead can
be removed.
Capt. Sigsbee continues to receive let

about the men who lost their lives

swered as soon as possible, II there IL

Washington. Feb. 2S.-The United
States Supreme Court today decided a
controversy over n bequest of property
to the Smithsonian Institute and in do
ing so decided n mooted point over
the right of n husband to devise prop
erty held as a trust in his wife's name.
In this case Robert S. Avery of
Washington, after giving in his will
$1,000 to the relates of his wife. whose
death had occurred before his left the
residue of his property to the Smith
sonian Institute for the establishment
of a fund for the promotion of knowl-
edge in regard to the phonetic type.
The principal part of the property was
lot of land in Washington in Mrs.
Avery's name and the will was at
tackled on the ground that he could not
dispose of property whose title was In
his wife's name.
The court decision handed down to-
day did not sustain this view, but held
that where 1t was clear that the title
was placed In the wife as IL trust even
though the agreement YVES verbal the
husband did not lose control of 1t and
could himself bequeath it, where as In
this case he survived his wife.
one of the provisions of the will was
to the effect that II the bequest to the
Smithsonian Institute was attacked by
he other beneficiaries they should thus
forfeit the bounty intended for them.
The court also pronounced this part OF
the will valid.
The decision of the District of Column
bia court of appeals was adverse to
the Smithsonian Institute and was re-
versed by the opinion of today.

New York, Feb. 2s.--Dr. John II.
Gardner of New York, who was some
time ago a medical pension examiner
in the service of the United States gov
eminent, Is the writer OF an article In
the March number of the North Amer
lean Review, which will appear to-
morrow, in which he makes n sug
gestion as to the method by which he
thinks the pension rolls OF the nation
might be purgcd and the United States
saved millions of dollars every year.
DR.. Gardner contends that If the Of
ficers selected by the people to seek out
and properly compensate men who
were disabled In the defense of the
Union. had exercised one-hulf the care
in avoiding bad risks, the pension roll
would present a very different appear
ancc from what 1t does today"
The plan which DIR. Gardner suggest
for purging the pension roll is one
which would involve measures to cor
rect the carelossness OF the original
ovnmincrs. Here is method says
DIR. Gardner. "by which frauds and
nfctenders can be gotten rid of. Let
Congress pass law requiring re-
examination Of every pensioner who
bases his claim on physical disability
while discharging his duty as Union
soldier. a board of medical examiners
should be established in every state:
two or more boards might be needed
in some states. Each board should be
composed of two members, surgeon
and a physician. They should be Sc
lected solely for their eminent and
acknowledged ability and their honesty
and standing in the state. They should
Give all their time to their work and be
! paid "A salary of $4,000 n year.
"They should carefully examine
| every pensioner In their respective
! states and report to the government
exactly the physical condition of each.
and how much. II any, disability in any
, case was the result of service in the
war of secession
"They would be influenced by nothing
| except the physical facts presented,
and always give the applicant the
| benefit Of any doubt. Such an examin-
alton would require about one year to
complete and would cost the govern
ment from $4,000 900 to S3,0OO0O0. No
man can predict certainly what the re-
suit of the examination would be.
My experience for twenty years In
| the practice OF medicine has made me
familiar with the physical condition of
a number of pensioners, and believe
at least one-third of those claiming
permanent disability will be found to
| be frauds"
