lying at the wharf this morning with from
q hundred to FIVE hundred bushels of the

ARMY OFFICER LOSES
LONGEVITY PAY CLAIM
Court of Appeals Affirms Judg-
ment of Lower Court in
= Case of Col. Todd.

The Court OF Appeals today affirmed the
judgment of the lower court. dismissing
the petition for a. writ Of manda mus
brought by Col. Albert Todd against the
auditor for the War Department and the
controller Of the Treasury, to compel
them to allow him army longevity pay,
based upon cadet service at the Military
Academy during the civil war. 1t is
understood that this is a test case in
volving more than s3,5O0,OOO Of such
claims.
It appears from the decision that Col.
Todd had been allowed longevity pay
since February. 1881, but that Controller
Gilkerson had rendered a decision in 1880
disallowing longevity pay based on cadet
service at the Military Academy. although
the accounting officers had previously al
lowed similar claims of Gems Grant,
Rosecrans and XII patrick. and the SUI
preme Court. in the Watson case, had
decided such claims not barred by the
statute OF limitations were valid
In January. 1910. col. Todd again APP
piled to the accounting officers to recon-
slider his claim for longevity pay, but
they refused to consider the claim on its
merits, on account. of the former decision
of Controller GilkersOn, in 1890, upon the
ground that 1t is the settled rule of the
Treasury Department not to reopen and
revise decisions of former officers made
in the line of official duty save for ignor-
ance or mistake of fact.

Lower Court Is Upheld.

The court. in affirming the decision
Of the lower court, held that q man.
damus will never issue to revise an
action that has been taken, and IT can
not be exercised to direct an executive
officer In the decision that he may rem
der. Applying this principle to the case
under consideration, the court held that
when Col Todd's claim was presented
to the accounting officers In 1890 their
duty was then performed in taking
jurisdiction of the case, and in 80 do
Ing they rejected the claim; that the
Court of Claims was then open to Col.
Todd to establish the validity of his
claim; but instead of ayailing himself
of that right he waited for a period
of twenty years. during which his
right of action in the Court of Claims
had become barred, and he then pre-
sented his claim again to the account
ing officers of the Treasury in 1910
The court held that the present &C
counting officers did not refuse to re-
ceive the claim, or to consider 1T, but
after bearing, rejected it on the ground
that it was beyond their power to set
aside the decision of their predecessors
under q mistake of law: and that the
question OF whether or not the account
ing officers did or did not have the
power of reviewing the action of their
predecessors involved the exercise by
them Of discretion, which discretion
is beyond the control of the judicial
tribunals.
