preme Court.
Hereafter the 10 per cent additional pay
allowed to officers serving in the insular
possessions will be computed on the basis
of their regular salaries with longevity pay
added. according to a decision rendered to-
day by the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The question was involved in a suit insti-
tuted by Lieut.. Col. Stephen c. Mills, who
served two years in the Philippines. His
salary was $4,000 and his longevity allow
ance 81 COO.
He was paid 10 per cent additional upon
the s., 600 but claimed that he was entitled
to a like percentage on the $1,000. The
Court of Claims supported his view, and
todays decision affirmed that of the Court
of Claims. Justice Peckham delivered the
opinion of the court. He said:
I'VE have no doubt that the pay of the
officer under the statutes of 1900 and 1901,
in connection with the Revised Statutes.
consist of the amount granted for longevity
service well of the amount provided
in section 1861, and that the total is pay
