PENSION DECISIONS
By the Assistant Secretary Of the
Department Of The Interior
Marriage and Divorce.

A soldier had wife living from
whom he had not been divorced at
the time of his marriage to claim
ant, such marriage was null and
void; and as soldiers first wife
survived him, and neither ever
having procured divorce, there
was no period of time when claim
ant and soldier could have been
legally married, she is not his
widow nor entitled to pension.
Line of Duty.
The record shows that the sold
Ter incurred the dislocation of his
left arm, for which pension IS
claimed, while scuffling in the bar
racks and that he was not in line
of duty.
Honorable Discharge.
The records of the War Depart
ment showing that claimant was
honorably discharged from the
service in the war with Mexico,
the Commissioner of Pensions has
no lawful authority to question
such record, and must accept the
fact as certified to him by the Sec
rotary of War.
Line of Duty.
A disease contracted by soldier
while in confinement awaiting
trial for a breach of military duty
is not necessarily incurred with
out the line of duty, and when the
soldier is acquitted, or died while
awaiting trial, a disease so con-
tracted is held to have been in
Cured in line of duty.
Observation-Disclosures
The evidence shows that the
claimant owns property which
does, or should, if prudently man.
aged, yield a net income exceeding
$3.50. per annum. Held: That
she is not entitled to pension
under the Acts of June q, and
May 9, 1900.
Service-War with Mexico.
There is no evidence, aside from
the claimant S statements, that he
rendered any service as an enlist
ed man in the Army of the United
States during the war with Mex
leo. His service was as a teamster
in the Quartermaster's Depart
ment, which is not a pensionable
service under the act of January
90, 1887.

This is boat racing at a cost of the best

'1RONQUILL" TALKS BACK
Former Pension Commissioner Ware
Replies to Commissioner Warner.
He Saws if Any Old Soldier Has Re-
ceived "a Pension WrOngfully
Publish His Name.

Topeka, Kas., April 29.-Eugene F.
Ware, former commissioner of pen
sions. in repuly to charges made by the
present commissioner, Warner, of al
legged violation of order No. 70, thereby
causing an extra expense Of three
quarters of a million dollars, said: Il
do not know to what particular cases
the commissioner refers. A soldier
might have a right to a pension, and
thousands of them had, but under the
aid law and under Order No. rs,
known as the old age order, and hence
it would make no difference under
which issued.
1T is not a question of whether,
technically, order No. rs was violated,
but whether some old soldier got a
pension or an increase to which he was
not entitled. l know nothing about
what the commissioner has found, but
in justice to the reputation Of the
honest and capable men, who are his
subOrdinates in the bureau, he ought,
before making the charge examine and
see whether any old soldier has got a
pension or increase who was not entitled
to it, and ought the publish the names
Of such pensioners, giving the indivld-
ual names ard instances. | think he
owes it now to the public to print the
names and the company, regiment and
state, and give facts, not generalltles.

TWO LAREDOS STORM SWEPT
Tornado Wrought Havoc to Buildinea
and Twenty-one Were Killed
Storm Lasted an Hour.

Laredo, Tex, April 30.-Sixteen peo-
pie were killed and scores injured here,
and five killed across the river at New
Laredo, Mex, by a tornado. The prop
erty damage was large, not one of the
magnificent buildings which go to
make up Laredo seminary escaping
damage.
When the storm struck the city the
huts occupied by the poorer classes
were the first to be leveled to the
ground, but as the wind increased in
force the more acknowledgements
ed buildings were unroofed, and in
many cases were demolished. The
lightning flashed wildly and continu-
ously, adding to the fears of the peo-
pie. The storm lasted one hour.
Physicians are busy attending to the
injured, and it is thought no deaths
will result. DR.. H. J. Hamilton, of the
United States marine hospital service,
has placed $50 tents, with bedding, etc.,
at the disposal of the homeless.

THE MISSOURI SUNDAY LAW
It's Enforcement as at Present, in
st. Louis, to be Assailed.
1t Is Claimed That n Only Law
Applicable Permits the Sale
of Beer and Wine.

st. Louis, May 2.-Only the whisky
drinkers will be barred from their ia
vorite tipple on future Sundays if the
contention Of attorneys for the local
brewers and saloonkeepers is sustained
by the courts.
These attorneys attack the validity
of the present Sunday closing law, and
claim that the only law applicable to
st. Louis is that of 1867, which per-
mits the sale of beer and wine on Sun
day, but forbids the sale of distilled
liquors.
Preparations for the appeal to the
courts are o being made by Judge
G. A. Finkelnburg and ex-Att'y.-Gen.
e. c. Crow for the brewing interests,
and former City Counselor Benjamin
Schumacher and Judge Leo Rassieur
for the Liquor Dealers Protective as
ISOLATION.
The cases of the saloonkeepers who
were arrested for violating the Sunday
closing law will come up in the court
of criminal correction within a few
days and the attorneys for the liquor
interests expect that the court will hold
that the law of 1867 is still in force.
The right of the excise commission
er to revoke a license for violation of
the Sunday law without giving the sa-
loonkeeper a trial by jury, or before a
jury, has passed upon his case in a
criminal court, is also challenged by
the attorneys.
They expect to apply within a few
days to the supreme court of Missouri
for a writ of certiorari against Excise
Commissioner Mulvihill on the ground
that he is exceeding his authority by
revoking licenses without a jury trial.
They contend that the commissioners
power is similar to that of a county
court, which, they claim, can revoke
licenses without a jury trial for all
causes except violation of the Sunday
law.

storm were the following:
At Hannibal, Mo-, bridges and Gull

a record-breaking hail storm.
Kinmundy, ILL.,, was swept by a tor.

intensity visited Patoka, III. Peoria
reports heavy damage from a wind
which swept the city at a velocity of
40 miles an hour. At Beardstown an
especially destructive wind storm pre-
vailed, overturning river craft.
Hail, varying from the size of a hazel
nut to n inch in diameter, fell at
many points, and fruit trees were
stripped of their buds. Early vegeta-
bles also were badly damaged by the
hail, and Strawberries suffered extern
sively.

COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS.
mi of BradStreet's Weekly
Review of the Conditions of
Trade and Industry.

New York, April 29.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
I~rregularity still ~characterizes dis
tributive trade, while industry is active
and outdoor construction is of unpre-
cedented volume. The weather has
been rather too cool for the best of
crop preparation or termination. La
Dor is we'll employed, and with the one
conspicuous }eXception-Chicago-
where the teamsters' strike affects
trade and shipments, disputes are be-
low the average. Prices of many sta
pies have been weak and unsettled, and
cereals, cotton, some kinds of pig iron
copper and country produce have
moved lower. Railway earnings are
good, and bank clearings this week,
owing to holidays, are smaller than
last weeks, but heavily exceed a year
ago. Collections generally are rather
tardy, especially at the south. Crop
conditions, though the season is back
ward, promise we'll as regards the
cereals. A heavy wheat yield is in
prospect.
