HIGHER PAY FOR
MEN OF ARMY
SENATE FINALLY PASSES THE
BILL IN FAVOR OF OFFICERS
AND PRIVATES.

WASHINGTON, March G.-The Ar
my pay bill was passed by the SEN
ate today. The bill provides for Army
officers a graded increase of pay rang
ing from per cent for Lieutenant
Generals to 20 per cent for junior Off
GERS. 1t also provides that "the aver
age pay of enlisted men be increased 40
per cent" This amendment suggest
ed by Culberson of Texas, takes away
the discretion of the President in fix
ing the pay of soldiers.
Senator Scott read a letter from a
banker who stated that Army officers
pay per cent interest per month to
have their salaries discounted because
their incomes are so small.
An amendment was offered by Ba-
con and adopted giving six months
pay to families of officers and enlist
ed men upon their death.
The Navy pay bill, equlaizing the
pay of officers of the Navy and marine
corps with the pay of officers of the
Army, was ordered favorably report
ed to the House today by the Commit
tee on Naval Affairs.
That committee also agreed to re-
port favorably the bill extending to
Rear-Admirals who were retired by
the passage of the naval personnel
act in 1899 the benefits of that act,
whereby the rate of their retired pay
will be increased.
Agreement was reached by the
committee to report favorably the ma
val militia bill, introduced by Chair
man Foss, which gives the Navy De-
partment control over the naval mill
tia.

J,ynchburE.s Denial.


sir,-In your issue of the 18th Of
Feeling in Rate Fight there appear
ed, an article which in fact and by
Inference places this board and the
mercantile community of Lynchburg
in a wrong light before the public. and
as. the whole story is built upon a
raise premise, we assume you Will most
cheerfully publish this letter as refu-
tation.
The story as you published it tells
of countermands of orders placed in
Virginia by North Carolina merchants
and resolutions of condemnation passed
by North Carolina commercial organi
cations In retaliation for the action
taken by certain Virginia cities In op-
posing their efforts to secure lower
freight rates, and then states that fol
lowing this evidence of disapproval. the
Lynchburg Board Of Trade has for
mally announced that 1t will take no
further part in the suit. etc" Then
follows: The original protest was due
to the fact that Lynchburg and Roam
oke enjoyed a cheaper rate than Win
ston- Salem and Durham. Other yir-
GINA cities. through their CONNER
cial bodies. asked leave of the Inter
state Commerce Commission to submit
briefs setting forth the Virginia enh
of tho controversy. the idea being to
give moral support to Lynchburg and
Roanoke"
The effect of the foregoing is to
put Lynchburg in the position of hav-
Ing sought assistance from the "other
Virginia cities" and OF leaving them
with the bag to hold as soon as the shoe
In point of fact the Board OF Trade
Of the city of Lynchburg has not aftil-
lated with any movement of the Vir-
slnia cities to contest the contention
Of the North Carolina cities for a
lower rate of freight. and our neutral
ity has heen recognized by the other
Virginia cities from the start. Lynch
burg has had nothing whatever to do
attended none OF the meetings that
put the opposition on foot. and this
being the case. susceptible of substan
tiatlon by proof which we can pro-
having for its object or producing the
effect Of placing us in the role OF
withdrawing from controversy OF our
own making and to which he had
become parties to help US out of a
difficulty or, in other words, turning
traitor on our friends. who In response
to our call for help Ind come to our
assistance, is manifestly unWarranted,
unfair and unjust.
1t has been the policy Of this board
to refrain from publication OF our
action in dealing with this matter from
purpose of avoiding the appearance OF
trying to capitalize our position IS a
non participant to the prejudice OF
those other Virginia cities" This
FOR FOR the publ pubiication Of the article above
referred TO in The TimesD Dispatch of
the 10th inst. The only construction
susceptible is SO patiently unfair and
unjust, in view OF our true position
that We are absolved from further ST.
lence, and a decent amount of self

The Importance of judicial journal

From the winnowing process. however,
and from searching investigation made
by opposing partisan papers, there is
nearly always secured some fact of
definite truth. 1t has been the func-
tion of the London Times to rescue
these facts and to point them out to
the English public. There is no lack
to-day OF papers with wide circulation
in England or America. There Is great
lack of unbiased fairness and judicial
integrity in summing up the evidence
and arguments produced by opposing
factions. England and the world could

From a night OF restless rest;
He is maybe bout half dead
Not get up. but lay in bed:
An he can't tell what's his ailin',
Feelin like he'd struck snag,
An his eyes a-runnn' water
Like you's wringln' out rag;
An the bones keep up an achin',
An the body feels like lead,
Fearin, every blessed mint
f There's warrant for your head;
An you're sure YOU is bncltslidin',
An your wife has got a beau
She's a-lovin' little better
Than she ever loved you;
An to think the pesky poet
Is a-Erinain' out rhyme,
Jes' when every other Teller
Is a-grumblin' at sprlngtime.
