ing to Firemen's Pensions.
Mr.. Mcfarland Asks The House APP
preparations Committee to Grant
Discretion in the Case of keefe-
Exemption of Lot beside Fourth
Presbyterian Church From Taxes.

Commissioner Macfarland spent the
greater part of the day yesterday ct the
Capitol, first, in conference with the
committee on the details of the District
Deficiency bill, and. secondly. in the in
terests OF the amendment Of the law gov
erning fremen's pensions, SO as to enable
the Commissioners to grant a pension to
the widow OF Fireman Keefe. The latter
was fatally injured In the collision he
tween a truck and street car at Con-
necticut Avenue and NJ Street last Thurs
day morning.
Commissioner Mcfarland saw the mem
bers of the House Committee on Appro-
priations and asked them to pass the fol-
lowing amendment to the act OF Congress
approved June II, 1896:
Provided, that the provisions contained
in the act OF Congress, approved June II.
1896, relating TO the fremen's relief fund.
may, within the discretion OF the COM
missioners OF the District OF Columbia, lie
extended to and used for the relief Of any
fireman or his family, although he may
not heretofore, or hereafter, have served
twelve months"
IL is understood that the committee gave
an attentive hearing TO the Commissioner,
and the hope Is INDUCED that the amend
ment may be enacted before Congress ad-
5ourns. 1t is stated that the members Of
the House Committee on Appropriations
have been informed of the desirabillty OF
granting a pension TO Mrs. Keefe, owing
to the sudden demise OF her husband, and
the necessity OF such action for her sup
port Such being the case, 1t is believed
by those in position TO know that the
committee Will consider the matter fay-
orsbly. and report the amendment to the
House at an early date.
