Insane Man in Kansas
Tells Strange Story
Of Crime.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LEAVENWORTH, Kas., Oct. 3.-The
Leavenworth police have encountered a
queer proposition in the person Of J. R.
LenSon, who was arrested last night by
Detective E. C. Murphy. Lenson is at
times raving maniac and again he is
perfectly sane. When placed in cell in
the City Jail he tore all the clothing from
his body.
While in a rational condition during the
night he recounted a most remarkable
story of himself to the police. He says
that about fourteen months ago his sister
ran away with a man named Snyder of
family. Lenson determined to separate
the pair and started in pursuit of them
He says he followed them all over the
United States, but they always eluded
him.
Finally, ten months ago, Lenson says
San Francisco. He stopped her and tried
to persuade her to leave the man. Later
they went to a room to talk the matter
over. There, Lenson declares, he shot his
sister. He left the revolver by her side
and then wrote a note in her style of
tired of the life she was leading and de-
cided to commit suicide. To this he signed
his sisters name.
Lenson says he then left San Francisco
for another town and there he heard the
report Of the supposed suicide of his
sister. When it was all over he Travelled
about. The thought Of having murdered
his sister weighed so on Lenson's mind
that he Is now at times a maniac
Department and Morgue contain no ref
erence to a suicide such as Is described in
the above dispatch, nor do the names
Lenson or Snyder appear.

PAY OF PAYMAsTERg CLERKS.
Regulations on the Subject Apply to
Both Army and Navy.


Major H. L. Rogers, Paymaster, Z s
=, stationed at san Juan, Porto Rico, re-
Gently requested the decision of the
Comptroller of the Treasury as 10 wheth-
CT paymasters, clerks are entitled to 10
per centum increase in their salary IN
der the act Of May .. 1890 IN rendering
his decision. L. P. Mitchell, Assistant
Comptroller Of the Treasury, said:
Il can see no difference in the status
of a paymaster's clerk in the army and
a paymaster's clerk in the navy One is
an officer in a general sense in the mill
tary service and IS liable to be arrested
and tried before a couTJ-martiai, and the
other is an officer in the general sense in
the navy and subject to the jurisdiction
of naval court-martial- The nature OF
their duties is essentially the same.
The duties of an army paymaster's
clerk bear the same relation TO the
army as those OF a navy paymaster's
clerk to the navy. Whether one is sub
Jected to more rigid discipline than the
other, which IS a matter Of regulation,
and which may be changed from time to
zine can make no difference so far as
the question here involved is concerned
The salary of each is fixed by law, and
one is paid out of money appropriated TO
be disbursed and accounted for by the
pay department as pay Of the army, while
the other IS paid out Of money appropria-
ted TO be disbursed and accounted for by
the nav deDartnnent as nay of the navy.
The position of payrnaSteTS clerk in
the army is provided by law, and. al
though there is 10 statute specially au-
thorizinE it, he is appointed by the SecFe-
tary of war Tor an indefinite period, IS
required TO take an oath, and is dis
charged on recommendation of the pay
master general by the Secretary of War.
IN, af vxH hal 7 h.zx already ~
and the authorities cited I am of opinion
that a paymasters clerk is an Office with
in the meaning CT the act of May IS, 1900,
and that If Mr. EckIss served as such as
above stated he is entitled while so seTv-
ing 10 have his pay increased 10 per
centum over and above his pay proper IS
fixed by law in time of peace, and he
should be paid accordingly If his account
is otherwise correct
