Valued At Several Hun
dred Dollars.

Fire Marshal Nicholson is making an
Investigation today to determine the
cause of a fire which caused several
hundred dollars damage on the top floor
Of the building at SOS Seventeenth street
northwest
The fire was discovered shortly before
I o'clock last night in the studio OF
Gerard Barry, an artist, temporarily oc-
cupied by Miss Clara Hill. An uncom-
pleted portrait by Mr.. Barry, valued at
500, was destroyed, and several unfin-
ished paintings by Miss Hill were dam

CIVIL WAR LABORERS
WANT CLAIMS SETTLED
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
We, the laborers of the civil war,
who worked for the quartermasters,
commissary, and other departments
of the Government, claimed that the
Government deducted $4,000 or more
dollars from our wages, and were
promised to be paid after the war.
our consent wasn't asked whether
this deduction should be made or not.
We have inquired of the various de-
partments in authority the reason the
Government has failed to pay US.
They claim that We were colored and
the deduction was made for colored
people. There was bill presented in
Congress, No. 23,S04. recommending
that the claims were made by coIored
persons who were employed.
This deduction was made for the
support of the INDECENT and sick of
their own race during the civil war.
1t has been said that no deduction
was made <after the men were trs
ferred from the District on duty.
1t can be easily proved that this de-
ductiou was made on mems pay. We
