Minors PensiOn-Act of June 27, 1890.
Widows PenSion-Additional Pension.
A soldier dies leaving q widow and
minor children by former wife. The
widow abandOns said children and is not
chargeable with their maintenance. The
minors through their guardian, apply
for pension under the act of June 81,
1890, one month prior to the extin-
guishment of the widows title by re-
marriage. No other application for
pension of the minors has been filed.
Held: % Under section 4703, Re-
vised Statutes, the minors had direct
title to the additional pension" (S2
each), payable to their guardian. the
widow (stepmother) not having been
charged with their maintenance. tlr
said additional pension" not being her
pension.
(2) The main pension, sS, was the
widows pension, the minors having
merely an. inchoatc right thereto, COM
plete title depending upon the extin-
guishment of her title.
CD The application fled before the
oxtinguishment of the widows rights
is sufficient only as to that portion of
the pension to which the stepchildren
had direct title-the additional pen
sion"-and is not sufficient basis for
the grant of that which was the Wild
ow's pension subsequent fo the extin
guishment of her title, thereto. A new
declaration specifically praying for the
grant of the widows peFsion" should
have been filed after; her remarriage.
