VIOLENT STORMS
Predicted for the Last Week in
April.
Much Rain During the Month and
Some Sudden Changes in the
Temperature.

The following is a summary o.
the weather for April, as mapped
out by Hicks:

in all western sessions as April
comes in. Cold, noTtherly winds,
with frost and freezing northw ard,
will follow about the list to the 3rd.
About the 4th to 9th falls a reac-
tionary storm period. during which
time falling barometer, change to
warmer, with more rain and stormi-
ness will be probable. Hail storms
will be most natural at all the April
disturbances. and sudden Drops Of
temperature should not surprise
any one after all we'll defined storm
movements.
The Vulcan storm period, central
on the 10th, will bring a series OF
pronounced storms. The culmina-
tlon of these storms will tall aboat
Sunday the 10th to Wednesday the
the 18th. Look for high tempera-
ture, low barometer, with ram, hail
and thunder, progressively from
west to east, on the 1lth, 18th and
18th. Rapid rise of barometer and
change to quite cool will follow
behind the storms, but a reaction
to storm conditions will suddenly
return, and from the 18th to the 18th |
1t will again become very warm,
with rain, hail and thunder.

WOULD RETIRE CLERKS
WITH PERMANENT PAY
Green B. Raum Advocates a Beneficial
System in Remunerating Govern
ment Employees.

In letter to Chairman James R.
Mann, Of the House Committee on the
Civil Service, Green 3. Raum ex-Con-
missioner OF Internal Revenue. advo-
Gates the adoption OF a system to pro-
vide retiring pay to Government clerks
and employees who, after a certain num-
Der OF years. leave the public service by
discharge or resigna ton.
Mr.. Raum's letter has been printed In
pamphlet form and is being extensively
circulated about the departments and
elsewhere. The author urges his system
as a just and humane method OF retiring
clerks from the public service ON ae-
count Of age ana infirmity.
The plan Of Mr.. Raum is TO have the
retiring pay begin to accumulate to the
credit Of clerks after a certain numbe-
OF years Of satisfactory service and TO
be paid TO them on leaving the servic,
and upon death in the service to the
wife. children. or next of kin.
Under such a law" says Mr Raum
the old clerks who are now failing
could be retired with propriety and in
most cases with their consent / feel
sure that the law would operate as
great stimulus to efficiency and fidelity
with the employees Of every depart
ment"
Mr.. Raum dweils on the fact that the
heads Of departments and bureaus are
confronted with an embarrassing situa-
ton because there are many old public
servants who for years have rendered
good service. but who have saved moth

eighteen years old. who requested that
his client be allowed to redeem a part
of lot 16. square Il, which had gone
from his possession under the tax sales
law
The Corporation Counsel points out
that the question at issue is whether
in all cases property sold for taxes is
to be redeemed by payment TO the
Collector of Taxes He says that the
act of Congress regulating this mat
ter specifically deals with two classes f;
first. where a sale is made to a third
person: and. second where property is

the name of the District of Columbia
and the privilege of redemption seems
to follow the two classes, respectively. -

Much-MOOted Case Settled
by Mr.. Duvall.
PENSIONS IN DEPARTMENT
Patrolman Must Prove Injury in Line
of Duty Before Becoming
Eligible.

'The District Commissioners are in no
wise bound by the action of the Board
OF Police Surgeons in improperly
passing an applicant for appoint
ment to the police force. when they
come to consider that the question
whether the applicant attempted to de-
ceive the surgeons would not enter into
the case
The appointment Of a policeman,
based upon such mistake of the po-
lice surgeons, would give rise to no
'contractuar relation which would re-
quire the Comm Issioners to grant the po-
hceman a pension, nor would IL give such
policeman. after service on the force OF
either short or Long duration any inter-
est in the police fund.
"A Mere Expectancy"
mo policeman has any interest, more
than a mere expectancy. in this fund,
until it is clearly shown that he has re-
ceived an injury. or contracted a dis
ease. in the line OF duty or that he
has become so permanently disabled,
after having served not less than ff-
teen years. as TO be discharged from ser
vice therefor"
This is the text of a most significant
opinion submitted to the District Com
missioners yesterday afternoon by the
Corporation Counsel in reporting on
the application OF Policeman c. b.
Peyton for retirement and pension. The
opinion is calculated to establish a pre-
cedent in dealing with police pensions.
Case Wen Known.
Peyton's case is weal known, and the
papers and testimony relevant thereto
weigh ten pounds or more. 1t has beat
en- a path between the District Build
ing. Police Headquarters. and the Offices
of the Corporation Cotsnsel. Briefs ard
counter briefs have been filed and at
torneys associated in the case have
spread themselves over many sheets OF
legal-cap paoer. The result OF II all is
that Peyton cannot be retired on a pen
sion He must either work or resign
Basis for Pensions.
AS far as the individuality of the case
is concerned. II interests only Peyton,
but the general rule laid down in reach
ing the decision in this case affects the
entire police force. Continuing, Mr.
Duvall. the Corporation Counsel. says:
-As to the question wheaher il is dis
cretionary with the Commissioners 10
allow or disallow a pension to a po-
liceman. / am OF the opinion that the
Commissioners are without authority To
grant a policeman a pension. until they
are fully convinced that he has received
an injury or contracted q disease in the
line, or while actually engaged in the
performance of his duties. or that he
has become so permanently disabled.
