THE WIDOWS PENSION BILL.

On Tuesday, April IA, Senator p. j.
McCamber, of North Dakota, reported
from the Conference Committee that an
House conferees on the widows pension
bill, and he explained the agreement as
follows:
AS the report itself does not signify
clearly what disagreements have been
disposed of between the two Houses, |
wish to state briefly what they are.
The Sulloway bill as it passed the
House extended the benefits of the law
raising widows pensions from sS to $12
per month to all those who were mar
ried prior to June 81, 1880. The Senate
amended that portion of the bill by
extending the privileges TO all of those
who were or should be married prior
to the date of the enactment of the bill
into law. The Senate conferees re-
ceded from that proposition, and this
agreement leaves the bill in it's original
shape, that its benefits shall apply only
to those who were married prior to
1890.
1t, is but fair to say that without this
receding on the part of the Senate con-
ferees it would have been impossible, in
my opinion, to have secured bill. The
Senate, by its vote, and also the Senate
Committee on Pensions and the Senate
conferees, believe that fixing any date
other than the date on which the law
should go into effect as d period of de-
marcation between the marriage of
those who should be entitled to the
benefits of the act and those who should
be excluded would be illogical. AS a
matter of fact, it is well known that
perhaps four-fifths of the soldiers were
not married until after the close of the
war, and those marriage ceremonies
have been continuing up to the present
| time. So We could fix absolutely no
date that we could say would be logi-
cal date unless we We're TO consider the
war widows alone.
Undoubtedly the Senate and the
House will have an opportunity to pass
directly upon that question after this
| bill shall have become law, as un-
questionably a new bill will be intro
duced for the purpose of extending
| its benefits so that it will include ali
those who were married prior to the
passage and the approval of the act.
| The other important feature is this:
4 The House extended the benefits of the
bill to the widows of the Spanish War
who are now entitled to receive pen
sions. 1t will be remembered that those
/ widows of soldiers who served in the
/ Spanish War entitled to receive PEN
sions at less than s12 per month, under
the present law, are those only who
4 were married during the war or prior
TO the war, and the death of whose
/ husbands was due to service origin. The
Senate conferees recede from the Senate
amendment, cutting out the provisions
of the bill which apply to those widows
/ The number is comparatively few.

THE DIVORCE INDUSTRY HARD lsrT.

1t is alleged that nowhere in the
country did the recent panic inllict a
keener hurt than at Sioux Falls, S. d.
The divorce industry of South Dakota
has built up quite a fourishing trade
in Sioux Falls, which has been giving
rich remuneration to 6S lawyers. 40
doctors, "a boarding house keepers,
many millinery and clothing stores and
similar branches of business. Last year
220 divorces were granted in South Da-
kota, most of them to people who had
been living in Sioux Falls, and it is es-
timated that the lawyers fees reached
$4,000. Theiaverage fee is about $3.50,
tho some lawyers have gotten as high
as $4,000, and $4,000 and $1,000 fees
are not uncommon Wealthy women
pining for release from uncongenial
mates usually make money move pretty
rapidly during their statutory residence
in Sioux Falls They want to be sur
rounded with comforts and luxuries
such as they have been enjoying in New
York and other cities, and this makes
world of business for various people.
An illustration is given of Mrs. Jarvis
Hunt, of Chicago. who only stayed in
Sioux Falls 10 days before her
husband found her and brought
about "a reconciliation. During that
time she had brought six horses
in a special express car, had re-
built stables, moved into commodious
house, and fitted it up for the season,
bringing on staff of high7salaried SER
wants 1t is said that she does not for
a moment regret her $500 since it
brought her husband to terms, and they
will henceforth proceed upon better
understanding. All this business, how
ever, was struck with an untimely frost
when the money stringency set in. No
man would absent himself from the
East in the troublous times to spend six
months in South Dakota waiting for a
divorce. Other things more acute than
matrimonial troubles demanded his at
tention

PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Suggestions
Made.

p. e. P-Since the soldiers .wiio,s
you mention were disbanded at the
close of the war instead of being reg
ularly discharged, it is presumed that
they served in an organization that
was not mustered into the service of
the United States.
j. NJ. Mariposa, Cal.-The loss of
hand or a foot or total disability of
same was rated at $500 under the
Act of June 6, 1866; $500, June 4,
1872: s24.00. March 3, 1888; $4,000,
April 4. 1886; and $4,000 March 2, 1903.
G. P. & CO., Kansas City, Mo.-If
claim is rejected the applicant or his
attorney has one year in which an ap-
peal can be taken to the Secretary of
the Interior. If. however, new evidence
is filed after rejection, the Pension Bu-
reau must first pass upon such evidence
before an appeal will be considered.
Reader.-If soldier in confinement
is given a dishonOrable discharge with
out court martial Cor should he die
while confined, awaiting triaD, we be-
lieve that the soldier or his widow has
fighting chance for a per.sion, pro-
vided that the dishonorable discharge
is the only bar.
H X P, Little Rock, Ark.-It has
been held that Col. Elisha Baxter's regi-
ment. 4th Arkansas Mounted Infantry.
was not in the military service of the
UHiIed Stdtes uurlhS the feDeliol, anu
the members of that regiment are not
pensionable under the Act of June "a,

for deafness: Nearly total deafness OF

tai deafness is meant all that the word
implies
The National tribune., 1908-04-23

Those were the only important dis
agreements.
In response to questions Senator Nc
Cumber further explained that the bill
now makes fiat rate of s12 month
to all widows instead of sS, as before,
the sole condition being that they should
have been married prior to June 81,
1890. The property qualification has
been omitted. The report was then
adopted.
In the House Mr.. Sulloway made a
similar statement, and asked that the
reading of the report be dispensed with
Mr.. Williams, of Mississippi, objected.
and the report and statement were read.
In pursuance of his policy of filibuster-
ing, Mr.. Williams called for the yeas
and nays, which were ordered. There
were: Yeas, 237; present but not voting,
eight, and not voting, 142 ..,. ,

NO APPLICATIONS NECESSARY.

Widows should understand that no
application and no services of attorney
are necessary to secure them the in
crease under the Widows Pension Bill,
which is now a law Those who are on
the roll will have their pensions in
creased at the next payment by the
Pension Bureau without the need of
any action on their part. The only ap-
plications necessary will be from those
who have heretofore been denied PEN
sions on account of having an income in
excess of $3.50. This qualification hav-
ing been abolished, those who have
heretofore been rejected for that reason
can now apply and receive their PEN
sions

Manufactured ..ReIics.e

One of the curios on exhibition in
Pittsburg at the first International Con-
vention of the Young Peoples Mission
airy Movement. which has just been held
there, was a board about two feet long
by one wide bearing an inscription in
japanese. This bit of hardwood at
tracted considerable attention because
it bore he original edict against Chris
tianity issued by the Mikado no longer
than 1853. The translation reads thus:
Hitherto the Christian religion has
been forbidden, and the order must be
strictly kept. The corrupt religion is
strictly forbidden. Done in the third
month of the 4th of Kyo March. 1859.
This order was nailed on public build
ings and elsewhere thruout the empire,
and only few of the originals are in
existence. These now command such
high price for their historic value that
the quick-witted Japanese are manu-
featuring duplicates and burying them
for awhile in the ground, in order to
give the wood the proper appearance of
antiquity. The one shown at Pittsburg
is an original in the possession of DIR.

Japan in their attitude toward the re-
ligion introduced by Americans like DIR.

The delegation from Pennsylvania to
select a site at Salisbury for the monu-
ment to the Pennsylvanians who died
in that prison pen returned this week
to their State. They found a very good
site near the entrance to the cemetery,
where the monument will be seen by
everyone. The State of Pennsylvania
has appropriated $4,000 for this prop
osition, and work will be begun at once.
1t is not known how many Pennsylva-
mans died there, as no record was kept
of those dying inside the prison. A
hospital record was found which con-
tains the names, regiments and so on
of about $500. There are 1926 graves
in the cemetery, most all of them being
unknown.
