 Commissioner Warner estimates that, on June 30, next-the new hscal year begins July 1-there will be 7S2,700 survivors of the Civil war who would be entitled to pen slons under the pending bill.

Special to Graphic.
 Washington, Jan. 26.-Pension commissioner Warner estimates tha. it will cost the government $15,. OO0,OO0 in the next fiscal year for congress to enact the pending soldiers service pension measure. That is lot of money and makes the members of the house think hard. It seems probable now, however, that the bill will pass, despite the hesitation of some of the watch dogs of the treas ury.''
 The senate passed the bill prac- tically without general discussion. It
 nsidered carefully in com mittee, but when it was presented to the senate it went through with scarcely a murmur of dissent. It was voted for generally on both sides of the chamber. The passage of the measure by the senate caused surprise, as it had been supposed that that body would reject a serv ice pension bill, hence no very deter mined effort ever Was made to pu such a measure through the house
 Now the proposition is "up to" the house and the members of tha body are hesitating. The committee on invalid pensions, to which the bill was referred, favor it's enact ment and are ready to sumbit it t. the house as soon as they are as sured that Speaker Cannon anC the house leaders will permit it pass. The speaker could determine the matter with a word, but thus far he has not spoken that word The fate of the measure probabl. will be settled in few days.
 Members of the committee regarf Commissioner Warmers estimate o4 $l5,OOO,OO0 as the cost of the legis lation during the next fiscal as lit eral, but it will be close to that amount. Speaker Cannon, Chair

HEIRS IN SUIT
 ALLEGE FRAUD
 n Suit Filed by Heirs of the Late Hanchi Strauss Bloom to Set Aside Sale of Certain City Property.
ARNOLDS HELD PAPER
Attorney Reinbergfr Represented Ad- ministrat0r and Also Heirs to the Estate-PIaintiHs Ask for Injunc- ton to Prevent Sale.

Suit was instituted Saturday morning in the Jefferson chancery court against Mrs. Minnie Strauss Levi, Edna Strauss and Sidney c. Well, administrators of the estate of the late Mrs. Hanchi Strauss Bloom, in which it is alleged that estate in disposing of certain pieces of property left by Mrs. Bloom among other real estate and per- sonal property.
 The suit was filed by Attorneys White and Altheimer at the in- stance of the Bank of Pine Bluff Mrs. Rena Eisenkramer, Miss Josie Strauss, Max Eisenkramer, as guardian of Miriam Joseph a minor; and E. B. Bloom, guardian of Abra- 1 ham, Moses, Pauline and Hannah Jo- seph, other minors and heirs to the 1 Strauss estate.
 The plaintiffs allege that Mrs, |
 Hanchi Bloom owned two pieces of
 property, one at Barraque and Beech
 streets, the other at Barraque and l Popular streets, and that they were creditors of the Bloom estate. The
 property, it is charged, was mort
 gagged by Mrs. Bloom before hef death to Arnold Brothers fot $3,OOO. Sidney c. Well was appoint ed administrator and the alleged claims against the estate were l legally probated and allowed. In this proceeding, it is charged, the plaintiffs were led to believe that their claims would be paid by Arnold Brothers when the mortgage was foreclosed. It is further charged that Arnold Brothers were induced to bring suit to foreclose on the promise that the attorney for the administrator, Irving Rein- berger, who was also attorney for the heirs, would pay the expenses incurred by the holders of the mortgage in foreclosure.
 According to the plaintiffs, judg- ment was obtained and the prop erty sold. At the sale were present the administrator and the attorneys representing him. The plaintiffs say that they, without notifying any of the creditors, and for the purpose. 1. of defrauding creditors and assist ing defendants, allowed the property to be sold for one-half it's value, or just enough to cover the mortgage. The plaintiffs declare that the de- fendants went so far as to pay pros- pective bidders not to compete in the bidding. In order to accomplish their end, say the petitioners, the defendants reported the sale to the chancellor the same day, by whom it was approved, as he did not know of their alleged fraudulent objects.
 The plaintiffs pray that the sale be set aside by Chancellor John M. Elliott and that the defendants be enjoined from selling same without authority from the court to do SO.
