The overcoat tina Abraham Lincoln wore
the night he was fatally shot in Ford s
Theater here nearly fifty years ago has
come to light and now is in the posses
sion of John NJ Kerby of this city. He
also has obtained possession of a suit OF
clothes that was worn by the martyred
President.
The clothing is in good state of pres
ervation. One shoulder of the overcoat.
however had been torn evidently by a
souvenir hunter some years ago. The
clothing shows the huge size Of Lincoln,
as an ordinary sized man would be lost in
the garments.
Immediately after the death of Lincoln
the clothes were lent to an artist, who
wished to paint portrait OF the Presi-
dent. Later they were used by a sculp-
tress, who made the statue which now
stands in statuary Hall in the Capitol.

POLICE PENSION BASED
ON DISABILITY ALONE
Appellate Court Denies Right
to Reduce Allowance for
Other Cause.

The decision of Justice Wright Of the
District Supreme Court that the District
Commissioners must be governed ex-
clusively by the result of the medical
examination of pensioners in the matter
Of reducing the amount OF pensions to
policemen was sustained today by the
Court of Appeals of the District of
Columbia, in an opinion by Mr.. Justice
Van OrsdeL
Timothy Brosnan. a former police
man. was retired September 1, 1892, for
total disability incurred in the lire Of
duty, with a pension of $50 per month
The disability still continues, according
to the result of medical examination
submitted to by the pensioner.
The Commissioners. having learned that
Brosnan was possessed of q considerable
income above his pension, reduced the
month Brosnan refused the checks Tor
the reduced pension. and sought man
damus, which Justice Wright granted.
The Commissioners noted an appeal
District Contention.
Counsel for the District urged that the
Commissioners were still Invested with
the authority of the old police board to
discontinue an allowance for any salts
factory reason. The appellate court de-
MES this contention.
In concluding his opinion, Justice Van
Orsdel says: 1T is not condition prece-
dent to the granting of q pension Under
the act of 1885 that the applicant shall
be INDECENT. 1t applies to any police
man who by injury received or disease
contracted in the line of duty, or having
served not less than fifteen years. shall
become so permanently disabled as to be
discharged from service therefor.
Not a sFinancial' Examination.
Neither is the examination authorized
by the act of 1908 a financial examina-
ton. 1t is a medical examination, and
the power of the Commissioners to re-
duce a pension is limited to the re-
port of the examining board. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that the Commission
'ers cannot predicate their action upon
matters not a proper subject of in
qufry by tie board

HAS NOT SUNK AN INCH.
Experts Deny That Pixies Peak Is
Losing in Altitude.

The old story about London bridge fall
ing down is not to have an American rival
i'm the more recent tale about the sub
siding of Pixies peak. The landmark
that was the goal of hundreds of cara
vans that crossed the plains in 40 has
not sunk an inch, in the opinion of the
experts of the United States geological
survey, the final arbiter for the nation In
matters of this sort.
A story from Denver that Pixies peak
had sunk thirty-nine feet in the last
three years was exploded in survey
bulletin just issued.
Somebody" the bulletin declared, has
simply been comparing the exact altitude
of the mountain. recently determined by
the survey as II, 100 feet, with the old
railroad or barometer figures of eleya-
ton.
The bulletin said there is slight likeli-
hood that Pixies peak will sink within
the lifetime of the American republic.
