for Sl46 back pension was made out at
the bureau in Early's favor today but
there is no one to whom the money can

Without Jurisdiction
Justice Stafford in his decision said
that the District courts were without
turisdict ton to appoint a guardian for
Early and therefore he would have to
deny the petition Of Mrs. LOtta Early,
eila Ieper's wife. asking that the Amer

named to receive her husbands pension

decided that it was contrary TO the Dis

L,ointment only being legal in the case
where the husband is either insane or

moves the hope of the Pension Bureau

named and the pension fund become
