The successful Issue Of the long pending
legislation in favor Of the army paymas-
ters clerks occurred this QasD week. when
the house and senate agreed to an amended
provision which gives them the pay, allow
ances and privileges OF retirement, which
have been for some time accorded to navy
pay clerks 1t has been felt that those
of the military establishment who are per-
forming the same character of duties as
that devolving upon navy pay clerks should
be treated similarly The senate earlier
in the session passed a bill providing for
the appointing of paymasters clerks as
army paymasters assistants with the right
Of retirement, which measure was favor
| ably reported from the house military
committee, and with this favorable action
the senate evidently considered that it
might properly be Incorporated in the army
appropriation bill as an amendment. The
clause was adopted in the senate, but met
with unaccountable oppOsl ton In the house
and in the first conference on the bill 1t
was one OF the provisions to which the
house disagreed. At a subsequent confer
ence the amendment, finally adopted, was
changed TO read as follows: Hereafter
the pay and allowances of army pay
masters clerks shall be the same as pro-
vided by law for navy paymasters' clerks
on shore duty, and they shall also be en-
titled to the same right OF retirement with
the same retired pay as is now allowed
navy paymasters clerks: Provided that
army paymasters' clerks shall be subject
to the rules and articles Of war"
The final adjustment of the question re-
iating to pay Of army officers who exer-
cised higher command Is a gratifying
disposition Of an appeal which has been
regularly made for two or three years by
the secretary Of war for legislation re-
lieving army officers of an obligation-~to
reimburse the government to a total
amount, represented by all accounts in
volved, OF about $4,000. Some Of the off
GERS were confronted with the prospect Of
having their pay stopped to an extent Of
! 81, 600 or more. All of these are the cases
which the auditor for the War depart
ment had discovered in looking up indi-
vidual claims for pay, mostly of minor
nature such as foreign service pay. The
action Of the auditor in calling on the War
department to have stOppages made had
| the effect OF discouraging claims upon the
auditor lest such examination Of Individual
records would lead to the discovery that
there had been payments made for the
exercise of a higher command under con-
dtions which the auditors office regarded
as Illegal No more unfair action has been
taken by the auditing officers of the gov
eminent than this cheekage for higher
command pay, and 1t has been incredible
that congress has taken so long to adjust
the matter. OF course, the opposition was
due to a misconception of the clrcum-
stances. II has taken considerable effort
and a good deal Of time to convince con-
gress of the justice of the legislation sug-
gested by the War department The sue
cessful issue relieves much apprehension
in many quarters.

DEATH RATE ON DECREASE.
There were 2s6 deaths in Indianapolis
during the month of May of the present

ed from that cause during May of this
year. There were five violent deaths
during the month. two persons bein r
killed by automobiles, one by railroad

of the City Board of Health, will write
letters TO every physician in Indian
apolis next week, informing them that
the oard expects to enforce the new
law requiring all births to be reported
within thirty hours. Heretofore the
law has given physicians a much longer
perlod In which to make such reports
ana TOT that reason the compilation OF
monthly statistics has been delayed.

a trial in which he was acquitted by
the jury, lynched the tyrant that had
oppressed them for q year n then
cremated him. 1t had not been ex-
pected by the subjects of the tyrant
king that he would be acquitted, for

pose of conviction, but the best laid
plans sometimes fail to carry. and be-
cause of that Calculus was lynched.
The class decided May Is to put an
end to the tyrant king and issued a
proclamation against him. judge
and jury were selected and a trial or
dered for last night.
When the jury rendered a verdict of
mot guilty the sophomores gave a
yell of rage and Selling Calculus tied
a rope around his neck and hanged him
to a pole. While he was hanging a
torch set fire to the tyrant and his
burning body vas bombarded by
Roman candles and other fireworks.
At least 5000 persons witnessed the
cremation and at least double that
number saw the parade through the
streets. The committee in charge of
the arrangements was composed of A.
