MAY :" JIM
. GROW" NEGRO

New York, Aug. 19-The question
whether negro attorneys shall be ad
mltted to the American Bar associa
ltion will be submitted for decision to
the annual meeting of the organiza-
ton next week at Milwaukee The
executive committee of the associa-
ton last night made public special
report regarding the election to mem
bership OF three negroes which was
iatterward rescinded This report will
be presented at the annual meeting
as basis for action.
The question first became promi-
nent last January when the executive
committee reconsidered its action in
e'ecting to membership William H
Lewis. United States assistant dis
trict attorney general. on the ground
that such action had been taken IN
ignorance of material facts" The
facts we're that Lewis was a negro.
Later il was discovered that Butler
II Wilson and VIM. r. Morris of Min
nesota had been elected members un-
der the same misapprehension, the re-
Fort says. and their cases were hand
led as was that of Lewis.
The committee in its report de-
clines to recede from the stand thus
taken but explains that the status
OF these three men as candidates for
remains unmpaired and
submits the whole question to the as
sociaton Attorney General Wicker
sham came to the aid of Lewis when
first was ranied him and
made a personal appeal to the 400
members Of the organization. The
attorney general declared that Lewis
was legally elected and Siat the com
Inittee had no right to rescind its
original action.

Many Applications Made
For Increased Pensions

Four hundred and twenty thousand
applications for increase of pensions un-
der the law passed May II have been
received up to today by the Pension
Bureau. All of tA15e applications have
been acknowledged, and the Bureau is
now in position to proceed rapidly with
the enormous work of passing upon
them.
For weeks after the law was passed
clerks of the Pension Bureau groaned
under the enormous burden OF work
required. but the worst is noT believed
to be over. The number of applica-
tions received each day Is diminishing,
II Is stated at the Bureau, and the ap-
proximate limit is In sight. Approx
mately 10000 soldiers and sailors of the
civil war now survive, according to the
Government figures, the total having
been 529,SS4 year ago at the end of the
fiscal year. The exact number living
now is not yet computed, but it is esu-
mated that 5000 died during the year.
II will be months and months before
all the veterans actually receive in
| creased pension allowance, because of
! the great number OF applications on
| date from the time OF application, and
! payment made accordingly. 1t is a GER
| tainty that several thousand veterans
will have died before the Pension
Bureau can act on their applications.
