Bill For Burial

Wa shington, D. c., June 28.-
The government has never paid
the funeral expenses of Presi
dent Garfield. This fact has
just developed with the fling of
the will of W. r. Speare, the
veteran undertaken, who con-
Quoted the services. The claim,
which has been pending tor
twenty six years, is an asset of
the estate.
Congress passed bill appro-
priating a sum of money with
which to defray all expenses,
with the proviso, however, that
the secretary of the treasury
should appoint commission to
investigate all charges and
require all those presenting
claims to "file receipted bills
for the full amount of their
claims" whatever amount
should be awarded by the com
mission to be paid out of the
funds so set a side.
The idea of sending "recei
pted bill" to any one before hC
had received payment did moi
appeal to the late Mr. Speare's
sense of business or right, con.
sequently he failed to comply
with the provisions of the act,
and the bill was not paid,
