EXTRA PAY NOT ALLOWED.
Naval Officers Claim Dismissed by the
Supreme Court.

Justice Brown today delivered the opinion
of the Supreme Court of the United States
In the case of C. NJ. Thomas IS. the United
States. involving the rights of naval officers
in respect to extra pay under the navy
personnel acts of 1900 and 1901. The opin-
ion is in favor of the government.
The claim presented was that naval off,
GERS who go to sea should be allowed 10 per
cent in excess of their naval pay because
the increased allowance Is made to army
officers who are assigned to duty at sea or
at a foreign port, the purpose of the law
being the assimilation of the salaries of
army and navy officers. Mr.. Thomas is
captain in the navy and made claim for the
extra pay because of service In the Philip
pines. in China and at sea. Most of his
claims were allowed by the court Of claims
but this decision was reversed, Justice
Brown saying:
1T is not for a moment to be supposed
that Congress contemplated any such
sweeping innovation. This construction
would not only render nugatory and obso-
lete the proviso of the naval personnel act
that officers to be entitled to army pay
shall be detailed for shore duty. but largely
discriminates in favor of naval officers by
adding 40 per cent to their pay for their nor
NAL sea duties. without corresponding ad-
dition to the pay of army officers for the
performance of their normal duties, which
are upon land; in other words instead of
assimiating the pay OF army and naval off,
GERS it actually dissimiIates them"
On another point in Captain Thomas
case, the court affirmed the finding of the
court of claims. In which that court held
that mo service shall be regarded as sea
service except such as shall be performed at
sea. under the orders of department and
in vessels employed by authority Of law"
This ruling was made upon claim for sea
pay while Captain Thomas was proceeding
from the Barbados to China In 1900 the
voyage being made by merchant vessels, al
though under orders.

MILITARY CIRCLES INTERESTED.
Proposed Selection Of Gen. Miles for
pntv With Massachusetts Militia.

Military circles are deeply interested In
an announcement Just made by Gov. ELECT
Douglas OF Massachusetts, that on his as
sur ption Of office early in January he Will
ask the War Department to detail Lieut..
Gen. n. A. Miles, L. s. A, retired, to duty
with the National Guard of Massachusetts.
under the provisions OF the, Dick militia
law authorizing the detail of retired army
officers to such duty. with their own con-
sent. upon the application of the governor
'of the state.
Gov.-elect Douglas explained that the Ideas
of Gen. Miles and-himself regarding mill
tary affairs in Massachusetts were In exact
accord. and he desired Gen. Miles to serve
his chief military adviser during his
administration. He had talked over the
matter with Gen. Miles and was assured OF
Lis willingness TO accept the detail II made
by the War Department Gen. Miles had
informed him that he would consider 1t an
honor to be asked by the governor of his
native state for advice and assistance. and
the governor-elect said that the great abil-
ity and experience of Gen. Miles could not
fail to be of inestimable benefit to the state
of Massachusetts and its organized militia.
Mr.. Douglas also intmated that he would
ask for the detail of Maj. Cen William A.
kobbe retired for duty with the state
militia as an assistant to Gen. Miles.
Officials at the War Department dis
inclined to discuss the matter of the Sug-
gested detail of the two officers named at
this time, as they do not wish to anticipate
the action of the War Department in a
case that will not reach it for consideration
until next month. About thirty retired Off
GERS, including several of the rank OF
brigadier general are now serving with the
National Guard of many different states
and are receiving the full pay and allow
ances of their respective ranks on the
active list in accordance with the terms
of the law. What action the War Depart
ment will take on the proposed application
OF Gov.-eect Douglas is a mere matter of
speculat ton, the officials say it will not
be even considered until 1t has been made
in official form.
AS a retired lieutenant general. Gen.
Miles receives $3.50 a year without al
lowances. If the proposed detail is made
he would be entitled to receive from the
government the full active pay of his rank.
which is 81 900 year, with allowances for
quarters and forage. In addition to that
sum he would receive $500 year from
the state of Massachusetts,, that being the
compensation fixed by the state law for
the adjutant general of the militia. Gen.
Miles is out of the city at present.
