class Of pension claimants. The question arose
under the statute giving pension to children under

Secretary holds that Section 4.702 OF the Revised
Statutes granting pension 10 minor children, does
not require that the application therefor be made
before the child attains the age OF sixteen years.
and that the act Of March g. 1879 limiting the time
Of filing claims for pension Is not applicable to
