THE SOLDIERS PENSION.

The government now pays
$l57 100000 in pensions. At
present every man who has serv-
cd 80 days in the army or navy
and who has been honorably dis
charged, is entitled to a pension
Of twelve dollars a month at the
agesof 62 and Of twenty dollars
month ut the age of IS.
Representative Sherwood has
introduced a bill in the present
Congress which will materially in.
crease the pensions. It is best
known as the dollar day pension
bill, and az both parties are try
ing to capture the soldier vote
the bill will become a law, and
very soon at chat.
This bill also provides that the
pension rolls shall be purgei
and that they shall be carefully
guarded against fraud. Every
fraud claim takes away that much
money from q deserving honest
old soldier.

Past Experience in the U. s.

Past Experience in the U. s.
In this country, among the
plantations in the lowlands along
the Gulf Of Mexico, pumping has
been in vogue for a long time.
especially for the drainage Of
lands devoted to the cultivation
Of sugar cane. More recently
pumping has been extensively in
tensively introduced in the bot
tom lands lying along the Illinois
River and the adjacent portions
Of the Mississippi. Along the H.
linois, though pumping was first
tried about 20 years ago, little
had been accomplished previous
to 1900. Since 1905, however.
large plants have been consIruct-
ed, and in the spring OF 1910 ten
separate plants were in operation
pumping the drainage water from
a total area Of about $4,000 acres.
These plants have a combined ca
pacity Of about 1000 horsepower
and represent an investment for
machinery alone Of some $l5O,OOO.
There are under construction
three additional plants to provide
for about $4,000 acres more OF
land.
Along the Mississippi River,
between Muscatine, Iowa, and
Hannibal, Mo-, there are in ope-
ration or nearing completion six
large pumping plants planned to
be able to pump the drainage wa
ter from 10000 acres. In ILL
nois. along the Illinois River, the
greater part of the bottom land
has already been thus reclaimed.
In other States the movement is
just beginning. and it is now evil
dent. from the numerous inquiries
for information, that there exists
at the present time a very active
and widespread interest in this
whole question.
The experience Of those who
undertake projects for pumping
drainage wa,nr,, without previous
experience in similar work or full
and accurate knowledge Of what
has been accomplished elsewhere
shows that invariably they great.
ly underestimate the magnitude
and difficulties of the work con-
templated. In this regard their
! experience is identical with that
of those who have been pioneers
in other forms of agricultural
drainage work. As consequence
the first pumping plants were en-
tirely inadequate in capacity, in
efficient in operation, and largely
q waste Of the money invested II
them. In numerous cases the!
have been added ITO or entirely
replaced by the building of new
plants. Some Of the recent larg'

SOLDIERS PROTEST
AGAINST HOLDING UP
Of THEIR PENSIONS
McCumber Puts In Emerg-
ency Resolution for Pay
ment of Claims.

The holding up of payment of about
$3o,0Oo.0O0 in pensions because Of the
delay in the passing of the pension ap-
preparation bill Is causing a flood OF
protests and appeals to descend on the
Pension Office from the old soldiers.
The fault does not lie with the Pen
sion Office. as the vouchers are ready
for mailing. Thousands Of veterans in
the District are affected. About $45 900
due these veterans of the District has
been held back. and will not be paid
until September 4, unless Congress acts.
Senator McCumber has introduced q
special resolution calling for the i'm
mediate appropriation of $50, ,O0O,O 900 for
the payment of all claims due up to
August 4. This has been referred to
the Secretary of the Interior for his
approval, and is exepeceted to pass
Congress today or Monday. If 1t is
passed. it will relieve the situation.
Senator McCumber believes that in
view of the protest that has been
raised because of holding up pensions
Congress will pass the general pension
appropriation bill soon. This has been
held up in conference solely because OF
, the dispute between the two houses
over the abolishment Of the pension
agencies,

The election Of @. w. Hughes as
councilman in Mt. Rainier. Md. to sue
ceed T. c. Elliott, who was recalled. Is
practically assured. Hughes had no op-
position, Elliott having withdrawn, and
as sufficient votes were cast during the
first two hours after the polls opened,
the election of Hughes is certain before
the canvassng board does its work.
The polls close in Hughes ward at 8
o'clock tonight.
Service was obtained on Mayor Joseph
Theophilus Kirk Plant and the four
councilmen last night, citing them to
appear before Judge Fillmore Bean, of
the circuit cout, August 9. to show
cause why they should not be adjudged
guilty of contempt of court.
: This proceeding aose from the fact
that the special election to fill the va
cancy caused by EIliotts recall was set
for today in conformity with the de-
cree of the court and that early this
week the mayor and council suddenly
decided that a new registration would
be necessary. This would have & forced ei
about a month. This was promptly
called to the attention of the court by
Robert E. Joyce, through his attorney.
AS soon as the mayor and CITY fathers
even more speed than had character
lied their demand for a new registra-
ton that this was not necessary after
all, and that the special election would be
held today. as first ordered. In the
meantime Sheriff A. B. Suit was given

Returned "Mona Lisa"
Not Original Picture

PARIS, Aug. "A picture which was
left at the British embassy by an Eng
lishman, and which was thought to. be
the missing Mona Lisa, the masterpiece
of Leonardo Davinci, which disappeared
from the Louvre on August % of last
year, was declared today to be nothing
but a COPY of the famous painting.
OFFICIALS of the ministry of fine arts
gave the picture a careful examination.
II is painted on wood like the original,
and 1t has a crack near the top left
hand corner. But the crack does not
run in the same direction as in the
original. The painting of the hands Is
far inferior, and that OF the background
as we'll.
The man who left the picture at the
embassy refused to give his name.

men Of the committees Of the Anacos-

ming in the residence of President
Charles r. Burr. 1914 Valley place. 1t is
expected by citizens of this suburb will
come a definite policy of asking for
more improvements in the Anacostia
section before Congress and the District
Commissioners.
Unanimous assent was given to the
proposition to work first and foremost
before Congress and the Commissioners
for the burying of the Nicholas avenue
trolley wires Of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company between the
new Anacostia bridge and Talburtt
street together with the widening and
paving of the highway and Its illumina-
ton by electric lamps. As the Com
mIssioners have repeatedly announced
that this improvement is contingent up
on the sound condition OF the southern
causeway at the Anacostia bridge,
which they will pass upon under the
statute providing for the construction
Of the bridge before ordering the rail-
way company to place its installation
underground. the citizens are now seek
ing to convince them that the approach
to the structure has settled sufficiently
to permit the work to be undertaken.
Maurice Otterback has the custody
of a big petition, which bears the sig.
natures of Washington an Anacostis
automobilists and wagon owners, tes
tifying to the damage caused to theil
conveyances on the southern causewa,
by reason Of its unimproved state, ant
urging that the work noted be started
at once. Mr.. Otterback will present
this petition, which has 100 signatures
to Commissioner Judson when he re
turns to the city.

auction block yesterday, and was sold to
Joseph G. Hitner, of Philadelphia, for
50, $40.
The old ship was launched in 1920, and
for more than generation was famous

paired just before the civil war, and
was assigned for the use of the United
States Navy Academy as a training
ship.
