son why the land should be segregated.

UNCLE SANS PENSION ROLLS
REACH HIGH WATER MARK

Washington, Aug. 2O-Commission-
er Evans has prepared statement
showing the operations in principal
features of the pensions bureau during
the last fiscal year as compared with
former years. Most of the data will
be embodied in his annual report, and
the statement is prepared for the use
of the national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic, which
will be held before the report is ready.
1t shows that the number of pension
ers on the rolls June Both last was
997, 7,735, net gain of 4.2OG over last
year. The total loss to the roll during
the year was 43,5S6, which includes
3S.153 by death, S53 by remarriage, l.
$50 by minors reaching the age of six
teen; 1,53S by failure TO claim pensions
and 1,46O from other causes. A cam
parative table shows that the roll for
the year just closed Is the "high wa
ter mark" in the history of the pension
bureau, the next highest having been
reached in 1898. or the gains to the
rolls during the year 1884 were from
the war with Spain. The losses includ-
ed two from the Revolutions; 215 from
the war of 1872; S26 from the war
with Mexico, and 544 from the Indian
wars. The gains to the roll since 1898
were 1o,1S4 WIDOWS OF tne ClVll war,
and 5.GO4 from the Spanish war, total
1898. The net gain to the rolls in the
four years was 4,O1.2
Pensions granted to widows under
the act of June 27, 1890, during the
year numbered 1G.61O, or nearly 1850
in excess Of those granted the previous
year.
The pensioners on the rolls are classi-
fed as follows:
Survivors, S,655: invalids, 739.994;
widows, 249,O86. These comprise 49,
124 widows and the 1865 survivors on
account of old wars prior to 1861: 297.-
675 invalids and SS.S02 on account of
general laws, disability of service orr
gin, mostly Civil War: 43S, ia invalids
and 145,111 widows on account Of the
June, 1890, law, and Civil War disa-
bility not due to service: $50 army
nurses and 1855 invalids and 2,O49
widows on account of the war with
Spain.
The total amount paid to pensioners
as first payments on the allowance of
their claims during 1901. was $9,934,-
764, or $1O6.23S more than the first
payments during 1900. This amount
represents the arrears of pensions, ag-
gregating 675 claims allowed, to an av-
erage Of nearly $500 each.

the claimants. The amount paid to
pensioners under the general law dur
ing the year was $67 ,S67 ,233, de
crease of $1,79O,253 from the amount

ments under the general law will be
exceeded by those of pensioners under
the act of 1890. The Spanish War<pen-
sioners received 1,1T5,225 an increase

bers Of the Colorado Bar Association

MED, Judge Carpenter holding, In the
opinion which he read, that the author
ity to issue n call for a grand jury
rests with the presiding judge OF the

proved by the investigation now In

Anderson in the West Side Court,
Judge Mullins will issue call for
grand jury.
Judge Mullins sent n letter to Judge
Carpenter which was also read to the

had crowded into the court room, in
which he assured the presiding judge
that II the developments of the inquiry
show the charges Of attempted bribery
to have any foundation in fact, he will
call for grand jury.
