PENSION DECISIONS REVERSED.
An Important Ruling ReEardfn
AmDutatiOn of an Arm,


AmDutatiOn of an Arm
Webster Davis, assistant secretary of ths
interior. rendered a number of decisions in
pension claims today, several Of which re-
versed the action Of the pension bureau.
The claim OF Gibhart Kurtz, late of Com
pany K, 18th Missouri Veteran Volunteers,
for increase. was granted. The soldier is
pensioned at $50 per month on account of
the loss Of the forearm. This case is i'm
portant for the reason that Assistant Sec
retary Davis lays down a rule in the aues-
ton Of what is to be regarded as the exact
point Of ar1putation at the elbow which
Will bring the claimant within the pro-
visions of the act of August 4, 1885. In
his decision the assistant secretary says:
1t having become material to ascertain
the limits Of the elbow, the definition found
In Gray's Anatomy shall be accepted; that
definition Is the vertical extent of the ell
bow joint is limited above by a line drawn
from one condyle to the other; below, by a
line corresponding to the lowest part of
the head of the radius
while the board Of examining surgeons
and the medical referee are unable to fix
the exact point Of amputation, still they
agree that the head OF the radius was re-
moved in said process. 1t is held. in har-
mony with the case OF Lawrence Gates,
that the word elbow in said act was used
in the conventional rather than the tech
nical sense, and In harmony with the rule
mentioned in Gray's Anatomy that the
word elbow covers that portion of the arm
included between the upper edge of the
condyles of the humerus and the lowest
part of the head Of the radius. A line
drawn around the arm Immediately below
the head of the radius marks the lower
limit Of the elbow. The evidence in this
case shows that soldiers arm was ampu-
tated at the elbow. and, under the act OF
August 4, 1888. claimant L. entitled to an
increase, as said act precisely states .'that
all persons row on the pension rolls. ana
all persons hereafter granted pension,
who In like manner shall have lost either
or above the knee. or been totally disabled
in the sarle. shall receive pension of $50
per month"
Assistant Secretary Davis also reversed
the action OF the pension bureau In the
following cases. and orders claims reQpened
for the purpose Of afeording claimants An
