RICHMOND COLLEGE CLAIM,
Senator Martin Has Special Bill In Case
House Acts Unfsvorably.
Especial Dispatch TO The Time

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Martins special bill for The relief Of
Richmond College came up in the Senate
io-uaE, ana Senator Martin asked that
1t be merely passed over without nreiu-
dice, and not lose its place or the cal
endar. The purpose OF this special bill
is to prevent Richmond College being
left out entirely.
1t is provided for under the omnibus
bill, which passed the Senate on Satnr-
day, but that bill must go to the House.
and in case the Richmond College claim
is stricken out before the final passage
o. the bill, Senator Martins special bill
will probably be passed by the Senate.
The passage of the omnibus claims bill
by the Senate WILL in all probability, dis
pose of further action by Congress at
this session on this class of claims.
This will be great disappointment to
thousands of people. for no conception
can be formed OF the number of claims
for war depredations now pending before
the committee.
Many of these have been presented to
the committee by CHIN lawyers here in
Washington only to be pigeon holed
where not a few will remain, nevermore
to see the light of daw.
Many of these claims for which no
provision was made by the committee
were lneritorious, but the rule established
by the committee that provision for no
claims should be made except those that
had been favorably passed upon by the
Court OF Claims, barred from the bill a
large number OF these valid obligations
of the Government.
The bill now goes to the House. where
several new items will be incorporated
into it before it is passed by that body.
Nary of the attorneys interested nre
no less disappointed than he holders of
the claims, for it generally believed
among the lawyers that a libenh appro-
,,riauon would be made for this class of
claims.
