DEPARTMENTAL
DECISIONS.
Rulings on Pension Matters of
Interest to Claimants.

PRACTICE-ACT OF MARCH g.
1896 - INCREASE RESTORATION.
In the pension case of Andrew j. Brown
1t is held asst Secretary Campbell, Oct.
81, 1900 that the practice of refusing TO
consider a claim for restoration to Il former
rate, or one which invokeS the act OF
March g, 1896, when such are included in
a claim for increase under the act of June
"a, 1890, is unsound practice. Paragraph
3, page 1o2, and paragraph ], page 103,
of y Treatise on the Practice of the Pen
sion Bureau approved by the Secretary
Of the Interior on .Apr1I ., 1898, are accord
ingly amended"
DISLOl Atty -EVIDENCE.-In the
pension case of John Ii. Kimball it is held
asst Campbell, Oct. 10, 1900, and Nov.
ID, 1900 that Il record of transferred to
Col 0'Neil," Confederate officer, from
Andersonvillc Prison, is not conclusive evil
dence of diSlOyalty and actual service i'll
the Confederate army. There is a SubSe-
quent record in this case that the claimant
was released las prisoner OF war;, and
he was honOrably discharged as a Union
soldier in June, 1860. Claimant denied
that he ever enlisted or served in the Con
fedcrate army, but went out of the stock
AIDE with others III response to Il call for
volunteers to do certain work in cOnnec
ton with the prison, and that he went out
with the intention of escaping at the earli-
est opportunity, and did actually escape
and gain the Union lines before the record
Of ''rcleased'D.
The decision says: There is not scin-
tilla of proof in the within case TO show
that the appellant ever aided or abctted
the rebellion in any manner, or ever Of
fered to, or intimated that he was willing
TO do so. If he actually did. there is no
evidence of such 10 be found in the papers.
Upon a very careful reading of the let
ter to the Department, dated July 81, 1900,
and embodied herein, two things are APP
parent. First. You evidently considered
the record and claimants admissions to be
sufficient proof of an actual enlistment in
the Confederate States army. Second.
You state that claimant exchanged his
condition as prisoner of war for service
in the Confederate States army
AS TO the first, it is shown in this opin-
ion that the record and testimony not only
are not direct proof of an enlistment in
the Confederate States army. but that the
record, taken with the evidence is not suf
6cient TO raise such presumption.
s:.As to the second, it is sufficient to state
that there is no evidence, of any nature,
that he ever served, or rendered service, in
the Confederate States army.
''The action appealed from is reversed"

Indiana's Candidate for Pension Commits
Sioner,

At meeting of the Veterans Mckinley
Club of Vigo Co., Ind, the following reso-
luton was unanimously adopted:
Whereas the name of Capt. Nicholas En-
sley is being mentioned in newspapers in
different parts of the State for the office of
Commissioner of Pensions, We, the Veterans
Mckinley Club and soldiers of VigO Co.,
Ind, have not forgotten the kindness and
courtesy shown the old soldiers Of this State
and the promptness and satisfaction in
which their business with his Office was
transacted during his term as Pension Agent,
and believing that his appointment to the
Pensions would give universal satisfaction
to the old soldiers not only of this State. but
to those of the United States, be il there
fore
Resolved, That this club and the soldiers
of Nigo County very respectfully request
Senators Fairbanks and Beveridgc, in case
the name of Capt. Ensley is presented for
the Office of Commissioner of Pensions use

Comparatively few people are aware
of the fact that the new building erected
by Montgomery Ward IL Co, the great
catalogue and mail order house of Chicago
is the tallest in the world.
OF course. there are n few spires THAT
are higher, such as the Washington Monu,
ment and the statue Of William Penn nm
top of the Philadelphia City Hall, but
these are the only points on this continent
erected by the handiwork of man, thai
equal this wonderful Chicago building.
The twin towers of the Cathedral OF
Cologne are higher, but in the Chicago
tower the conditions are immensely SUI
perior.
For instance, the Chicago tower is az

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I notice

are trying TO push the bill for Court of
Pension Appeals. After studying the bill
in all its phases | approve it and hope you
will be able to have Congress pass it early
in the regular session, if not at the short
session. | think all the comrades here
stood by Mckinley, as they could not eX-
pect any favors from Bryan and Dem

this bill would pass. and we would get Il

COURTS HAD TO MOVE.
ROOMS USUALLY USED WERE
TOO COLD.
Judge Archibald Had to Move Into
Arbitration Room and Judge Pur-
dy Into Grand Jury Room.

Owing TO the difficulty experienced In
keeping the court house warm, q meet
ing OF the commissioners was held yes-
terday at which 1t vas decided to take
steps at once to install n heating plant
In the building. 1t will take some time
to do this, and the city steam now In
use will continue to heat the building
for the remainder of the winter.
The officials of the steam heat COM
pany, in a letter TO the commissioners
yesterday, took the ground that they
are not responsible for the icy con-
dition of the atmosphere in the build
ing. They have an abundance of steam,
they say, and the difficulty is In the
size of the pipes used to convey the
steam to the building from the mains.
1t was with difficulty that the courts
were kept going yesterday. In the
morning Judge II. w. Archibald moved
down from the main court room to the
arbitration room, but toward noon the
air in that room became so vitiated
that court had to be transferred to
the main room again. There every one
connected with it shivcred in overcoats
all afternoon, the thermometer never
registering above sixty degrees.
Judge George $. Purdy, who was
holding court In the Superior court
room, had to desert that place on ac-
count of the cold and during the day
disposed Of cases in the grand jury
room on the third floor Court room
No. was fairly comfortable.

PROSPECTS OF A FIGHT.
Select Council and Controller Likely
to Get Mixed Up.

There is u probability OF a fight be.
tween select council and Controller
Howell in the air. Select council at its
regular meeting held last Thursday
night unanimously adopted a resolution
directing the controller to furnish inn
mediately statement showing the
amounts of fines paid monthly by
Mayor Moir to the city treasurer since
July I. 1900
The resolution was served upon the
controller by City Clerk Lavelle soon
after the meeting but the controller
Is determined to ignore IL because he
believes that It is not legal inasmuch
as 1t has not received the signature of
the mayor. Deputy Controller Hartley
In speaking about the matter yesterday
said to a Tribune man:
I'VE cannot be Obliged to obey that
resolution because II has not been
signed the resolution we would have to
abide by II but as II Is now we will
simply ignore It,"
1t has been an established precedent
that either branch OF councils can call
upon any head of department to fur
nish 1t with any information that 1t
may desire regarding the affairs OF
that department. This is the first time
in the history of the city, as far as the
memory OF City Clerk Lavclle reaches
back. that any head of a department
has declared 1t as his intention to ig-
more such a resolution.

1T WAS A HARD JOB.
Mr.. vosburg Says q Recog milton of
Scranton Had to Be Forced,

City Solicitor Nosburg, who returned
yesterday from Harrisburg. where he
went to look after the needs of this
city while the A'ripper" bill was still
pending in the senate, stated that the
Lackawanna delegation had a mighty
hard job getting any concessions.
We served an ultimatum on the
committee just before they met" said
he, that IL we weren't considered we
would fight the bill to the end. The
committee didn't want to permit the
election OF the treasurer and the con.
troller by the people, but we insisted
upon It. 1t was impossible to secure
the adoption OF an amendment maxi
ing the city solicitor elected by the
people.
The powers-that-be wouldn't list
en- to that. They want to oust Ciar-
ence Burleigh, city solicitor of Pitts
burg. who is considered to be Senator
Films right hand man and the only
way this can be done Is to make the
city solicitor appointed by the mayor.
Burleiah. of course, has following
in the Pittsburg councils which would
insure his election.
1T must be understood that Scran-
ton has not agreed to anything. We
wanted u lot of amendments adopted
and we only got u few. We took what
we got without objection. but we didn't
say we We're satisfied"

felt OF $1,000 existed and the directors
began 10 feel rather blue, but accord
ing 10 the report their blueness didn't
last very long, for their appeal for
assistance was quickly needed. the
greater part of the amount being re-
celved almost at once In sums varying
from $50 to 5000.
The report of Treasurer Charles II.
Chandler shows that during the year
1900 there was received Just si,053 and
disbursed just $O43.93, leaving a bal
ance on hand of s9.07. The amount re-
ceived was entirely from subscriptions,
