Damages by Jamaica Hurricane.

Kingston. Jamaica. August 1.-THE
destitution in the hurricane stricken
district is appalling. Thousands of
persons, ..omeless, starving and Ill
clad. are hurrying TO the towns to OBJ
tain shelter and supplies. but as all
the churches and public buildings have
been demolished. the misery is in.
tense. A meeting held at Port Antonio
to-day appealed to the generosity Of
the American people. Foodstuffs and
lumber are urgently needed, and as.
sistance was implored.

make test case on the McClellnnd es-
tate.
Attorney General Miller at once
brought suit against the executors OF
this estate for some 5000 as inheri-
tance tax under the 1901 law. The
County Court held that the law was H.
legal and void. and the District Court
upheld this opinion.
Last month the case was taken to
the Supreme Court. and brief filed for
the state. Since then. however. Attor-
ney General Miller has decided that
there is no doubt OF the unconstitution-
ality OF the law. and yesterday he filed
a motion In the Supreme Court to dis
miss his own appeal. with costs to the
defendants.
This Is the final end of the litigation
over the Inheritance law OF 1901. There
will be no further effort to collect this
money. From the three large estates
that Joined in this suit there was due
nearly $4,000. and the attorney general
estimates that the total amount due
under this law. II II had been valid.
was close to $250.O0o.
The law of 1902 has never been
passed upon. II has substantially tho
same provisions as those In the bill OF
ed to the scrutiny OF the courts on its
merits. The only point so far that has
been questioned is the manner of It's
passage. The Stratton estates comes
under the law Of 1909. and II Is un-
derstood that night will be made then
as to Its constitntionality.

INDIAN
VETERANS
GET PAY
Congressman Moody
Hard Work Brings
Good Results
All That is Required Is to
Prove Service by Rolls
Which Must be
Filed

Washington, June 4.-The auditor
of the war department today approved
the first claim for back pay filed by
veteran of the early Indian wars OF
the Northwest, and directed that Lew.
is Lawley, of The Dalles. who served
as a private in the Second Washing.
ton Territory Mounted Volunteers, be
paid S1S4, for services rendered from
March 18th to September 1, 1856. This
amount will be paid out of the first
appropriation made at the next ses.
sion of congress.
The Lawley case is one that was
urged for many months by ex-Repre.
sentative Moody. and the adjustment
today establishes the precedent
for the granting OF back pay to all
survivors of the early Indian wars,
who can prove service by rolls that
are now on file In the department. and
the department finds that there are
several rolls in Oregon, which were
prepared by captains as souvenirs and
for other purposes. Persons whose
names are. on these rolls cannot be
paid until the original rolls are filed
with the authorities in Washington.
The action on the Lawley case
makes the claimant a qualified appli.
cant for pension. Lawley filed appll.
cation for pension some months ago.
and his claim was disaliowed because
he could not show pay. Now that his
pay has been authorized. and his ser.
vices are recognized by the govern.
ment, his pension claim will go
through. This decision is OF great
importance in that II establishes a
way by which Indian War Veterans
cannot only recover back pay when
they failed to draw allowances here.
tofore, and also places them on a
pensionable status.
A great many veterans are unable

where that proof is not obtainable.

necessary. Therefore, the import.

Once this is obtained. practically the

Springfield. ILL.,. June 4-President
Roosevelt spent four hours in the cap
ital city OF Illinois today and the vel
come he received was one OF the
most enthusiastic he has encountered
on his long trip across the continent.
The special train reached the city
shortly after 10 o'clock this morning
and the president found a sea OF hu.
manity ebblng and flowing about the
station and the adjoining streets.
Soldiers and police formed an escort
and cleared the way 20 the presidents
carriage. Governor Yates. Senator
Cullom and other public men of the
state were on hand TO bid welcome TO
the chief executive of the nation.
The days program was crowded
with interesting features and the dis
tinguished visitor was allowed
scarcely time for n luncheon at the
executive mansion with the governor
and a number OF invited guests. The
chief event OF the day was dedication
of the magnificent new armory build
ing. The structure stands opposite
the state house and both inside and
out IL was elaborately dressed in flags
and bunting In honor of the occasion.
Ten thousand persons occupied seats
in the auditorium and many more
were crowded into the aisles and other
places where standing room could be
had while they listened % the presi,
dents address The president was
introduced by Governor Yates and
both received vociferous welcome.
Though the time was exceedingly
limited in view of the long program
OF public functions the president
found time for a hurried visit TO Lin
coins tomb, where he deposited a
handsome wreath on the sarcophagus
OF the martyred president.
At 2 o'clock the journey was re
sumed. Stops at Decatur and Dan
vile late this afternoon are the last
scheduled for the longest trip ever
undertaken by president OF the
United States. Tomorrow morning
the president viii speed across Indi-
ana and Ohio and sometime about
nightfal he expects to be back in
Washington ready to tackle the bust
ness that has accumulated In his alb
sence.

ored troops surrounding the shaft.
He said: 1T seems TO me so eminent.
