DEATHS OF PENSIONERS
CUT DOWN EXPENSES
Commissioner Saltzgaber Reports U. S.
Paid $7,658.572 Less Than
Total Approximation.

The annual report OF Commissioner OF
Pensions Saltzgaber. which was made
public last night. sets forth that in the
last fiscal year s7.6Ss.5T2 less than the to-
tai appropriation for pensions was paid.
This fact is attributed to a number OF
economies practiced by the Commissioner
OF Pensions and to deaths OF pensioners.
The total number of pensioners was
ISS,2e, showing a loss OF q, SO from
death during the year. The amount paid
out in pensions was S172. f7,545. The to-
tai amount paid out by the government
in pensions since 1856 is "a. 663, 10000.
The commissioner notes that the
largest amount ever paid by the govern
ment for pensions was paid in 1918.
There was a decrease OF more than 1900
900 in the past year. 1t is the opinion OF
the commissioner that the summit was
passed in 1913, and that from now on an
annual decrease in the amount paid out
by the government is to be expected.
The average age OF the pensioners of
the civil and Mexican wars is 7O7 years.
The oldest pensioners are "a years OF age,
and there are fourteen OF this age.

McCOmbS appeals to Country for
Help in National Campaign.
William F. McCombs, the chairman of
the Democratic National Committee,
spent Sunday in Washington. He was
in conference with Chairman Doremus,
Of the Congressional Campaign Commit
tee, and other leaders regarding the cleo
tion for Senators and. Representatives,
Before leaving for New York last night
he issued the following appeal to the
American people:
The Democratic National Committee
needs money with which to meet the
necessary expenses of the present cam
paign. The splendid record OF the Presi-
dent and Congress is its own best ad-
vOcate, but it is our manifest duty to
spare no effort to place the facts clearly
before the people in order to insure
the return Of a Democratic Congress
And the cost of printing and travelling
must be met. 1 therefore appeal most
earnestly to all citizens who would up
hold the President by winning a vote of
confidence in his administration to send
contributions Immediately to Rolla Wells.

Mrs. Henderson last night consented to

Mr.. Andrews suggested the idea to Sc

5000 Strong, KNIGHTS
March To VESPERS
Annual K. of c. Devotion Offers I'm
posing Spectacle at St Aloysius.
Hear Plea for Mexican Clergy.
FATHER MCDONNELL breaches

Three thousand Knights OF Columbus of
this city attended their annual vesper
service in st. Aloysius Church last night.
The ceremony was one Of the most i'm
posing ever held in that church. Rt Rev.
Monsignor Mackin. OF St Paul's Church.
was the celebrant, assisted by Father
Olds as deacon, and Father Foechild as
subdeacon- Rev. Eugene De L. Nc. Dom
nell, pastor Of the church, delivered a
stirring sermon on the duty of the
Knights OF Columbus, as Catholic men.
The Knights formed in Gonzaga Hall
and marched down l street to the church.
headed by the members of the fourth
degree.
After vespers Father Mcdonnell de
livered the sermon. In speaking OF the
duties of the Knights of Columbus he
reminded them of the deploring condi-
ticns Of Catholics, laymen and clergy,
in Mexico. and scored severely the atti-
tude which this government has taken in
regard to these conditions. In part he
said:
The decent people of the land do
not know what is going on in Mexico.
Do you know that this country sent
there two bigots who are hand and
glove with the enemies of our faith
there? Do you know that these men
stated that the only remedy for the
evils in that distracted country was the
destruction OF the Catholic religion there?
Do you know that those now in con-
troll in Mexico-two brigands-who were
recognized by this government, have
openly sworn that no Catholic convent
or school shall be tolerated in Mexico
during their regimen"
He further declared that, wherever
these scoundrels went, nuns were vio-
lated, churches were used for stables,
and that a hundred other outrages
perpetrated. In Vera Cruz there are per-
haps a thousand priests and nuns, and
this government is about to withdraw
her troops and when urged to take
these, our brethren, some of them Amer
leans, to a place Of salty, refused. Why?
That question is yet to be answered"
Father McDonnelrs sermon was fol-
lowed by Solemn Benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament. The Fourth Degree
Knights, who were directly in front of
the Sanctuary, formed a human cross,
and with swords raised at attention, sa-
luted the Blessed Sacrament, at the
close Of the services.

was Miss Efie Pope, may be reunited
after their recent separation.
Mr.. Alsop would not discuss the case
last night, and said he was willing to

that he will have a statement to make
within the next few days.
Mrs Alsop said that she respected Mr..
