Quarrel sun on over Militia Pay.

Denver. = State Auditor Kenehan
several weeks ago held up militia pay
checks for three months of service
pending a decision as to whether the
claims should be paid from the pro-
ceeds OF the insurrection bond issue or
from the general military fund. At
torney General Farrar has made a
partial ruling to the effect that men
wounded in action or who had con-
tracted sickness while in field service
in the coal strike campaign should be
paid. This leaves the claims of Gen.
John Chase and long list of subordi-
mates employed at headquarters still
unadjudicated. The list OF sick and
wounded includes seven on sick roll
and six who we're wounded In action.
OF the wounded one lost an eye,
another an arm and a third leg.
Farrar also allowed the pay of Capt.
Louis II. Schultz. medical officer. for
three months. amounting to $5S6.66.
The claim of Maj. w. A. jolly, also OF
the medical corps, for $66.66 for at
tending the sick and wounded In June

and wounded, draw an average Of $40,
or pay at the rate of 81 day.
