EXTRA PAY IN WAR
SUPREME COURT DECISION OF IN
TEREsT TO OFFICERS.

Some Of the vexed questions pertaining
to the subject of extra pay for officers of
the army during war were considered by
the Supreme Court of the United States
yesterday In disposing of the case of the
United States against Don c. Mitchell
which was decided in favor Of the United
States in an opinion handed down by Chief
Justice Fuller. The particular point in
Volved was that relating to extra pay for
duty In higher rank in time of war, but
not actually in the presence of the enemy.
Mitchell entered the army during the war
with Spain second lieutenant of Troop E
of the LIST Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, and
while stationed at Huntsville, Ala, in Au-
gust 1898, was designated by an order from
Capt. Rogers regimental quartermaster of
He continued to perform the duties of that
command until the following October. He
then made claim to the pay of a captain
under the act Of April. 1898, providing that
troops operating against the enemy who
shall exercise. under assignment in orders
issued by competent authority, command
above pertaining to his grade shall be
entitled to receive the pay and allowances
Of the grade appropriate to the command
SO exercised" and also for pay for the extra
month allowed at the rate paid captain.
The case dealt with the claim for the ex-
on behalf Of the government on the ground
that the order Of assignment was not by
competent authority and also on the
ground that the troops stationed at Hunts
Vile were not operating against an
enemy"
The Court Of Claims decided in Mitchelrs
favor, holding that he was entitled to an
extra months pay at a captains rate, but
Chief Justice Fuller's opinion reversed that
ruling and held that he should receive only
the pay of a second lieutenant. In his opin-
ion the chief justice referred to the order
relieving the first lieutenant Of Troop E
from command and incidentally the ap-
pointment Of Second Lieutenant Mitchell to
that position. and said that 1t could not be
considered as an Assignment in orders is
sued by competent authority" within the
section of the statutes controlling in the
matter. THAT section was not enacted to
give increased pay for ordinary duty of the
SERVICE" he said, but to give compensa-
ton for the greater risk and responsibility
Of active military commands, and no as
signment in orders when unnecessary to
that end can make a case within the
statute"

BoNDSMEN RELEASED.
Decision Favorable to a Maryland
COMPANY.

The decision of the Supreme Court Of the
United States in the case Of Charles T.
Cherry. as receiver of the Capitol National
Bank OF Guthrie, Okla, against the Fidelity
and Deposit Company Of Maryland, was an
nounced yesterday by Chief Justice Fuller
The suit constituted an effort by the re-
cever to collect on a 600 bond given by
the company to guarantee the faithful dis
charge Of duty by Charles E. Billingsley,
president of the bank. The Oklahoma su-
preme court released the company from re-
sponsibility. because it was shown that at
the time the bond was made the assistant
cashier OF the bank had stated that Bill
Kingsley was not indebted to the bank
whereas he owes il about $4,000, and that
decision was affirmed by yesterdays action.

NOTHING HID FROM KAISER.
How German Emperor Keeps In Touch
with Worlds Affairs.

The German emperor's interest in
everything that goes on in The world
is we'll known, but few are aware of
the trouble he takes to keep in touch
with current affairs. According to a
Munich newspaper, the kaiser reads
at least three papers every day, chang
ing the list several times a week in
order to become fully acquainted with
the ideas Of all political parties in the
state. But this by no means exhausts
his appetite for information. Every
day the ministry of foreign affairs, as
we'll as that of the interior, has to pro-
vide newspaper cuttings, properly
named and dated, and pasted on slips
ready. for the emperor's perusal.
These he carefully reads, making mar
ginal notes as he goes along, and they
are then scrupulously classified and
put aside ready for immediate refer
ence. Often, too, the emperor asks
for cuttings relating to the particular
technical subjects in which for the
time he is specially interested.
