DELAY IN PAYMENT OF
CONFEDERATE PENSIONS
Unavoidable - State Examiner
Says No Payment IN
i'll November 5.

A circular letter sent out by w.
]. Stone, State Pension Examiner,
makes the announcement that no
Confederate pensions will be paid
before November ), none of the APP
plications having been acted on in
time to be payable on August >,
which is the date next preceding
November j, on which the law di-
reefs such disbursements shall be
made. While the announcement
will be a great disappointment to
many applicants, the letter gives
the assurance that back pay will be
eventually forthcoming from the
date that the application has been
received at the examiners office.
Examiner Stone states that 1000
applications are on file, and many
others are being received daily.
While Capt. Stone gives no reason
for the delay further than that it
takes considerable time to exam
inc each claim, it is understood that
owing to the shortness of monty in
the State Treasury at present, a de-
lay in paying the pensions will be
a convenience to the State. Capt.
Stones letter is as follows:
Frankfort, Aug. 12.-Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter relative TO
your application for pension, will
say that final action has not been
had on any application yet. There
are $500 applications now on file
and many being received daily. and
they are being prepared as rapidly
as possible for consideration by the
Pension Board. 1t takes a great
deal OF time and labor in each
case and consequently much delay
occurs.
"As soon as applications are fl
nally passed upon by the board,
will notify each applicant or his at
torney of the result.
THE dates provided by law for
the payment of pensions are August
;, November and May :. Conse-
Quently. no pensions can now be
paid before November next.
"The pension will begin, in a.!
cases that are favorably acted upon,
on the day the applications are re-
ceived in this o@ca. when appli- /
cations are received here, the date
is stamped upon them, so that in
all cases in which pensions are al /.
lowed they will be calculated from /.
the date of the reception of the ap- {
plication here.
mo pensions can now possibly |
be paid before November ). How
many or what particular ones will |
be ready for payment by that time,
it is impossible for me to tell at
this date.
Il want to assure you, and all
who may inquire OF you, that |
realize the anxiety OF many OF the
applicants, and that all possible
haste is being made and will be
made in the consideration and final
of the claims that are
now pending or may hereafter be
fled"

day, and appointed nearly all coun-
ty election commissioners for the
State.
The lists submitted by the Demo-
cratic chairmen of Daviess, Frank

was first made from Franklin coun-
ty that the committee had not been
called together by the chairman, as
the law provides for the purpose of
making recommendations.
The Democratic chairmen of
these three counties were directed
by the commissioners to call their
committees together, and have them
present a list in conformity with |
the law, and upon their recommen-
dations the election commissioners |
will act on Friday, August 80.
