MUST HAVE BEEN THE WIFE or A SOLDIER HUSBAND TO

Llltle Rock
 To clear up any misunderstandfnq about Confederate widows nensfons Secretary of State Hodges makes tho following statement:
 Act S3 of 1913. which is the lasi pension act passed provides in sec tion ,, to each indigent woman now unmarried who was at any time dur. ing the war between the states legally married to any such soldier or sailor as herein above mentioned, the sum of S100 per year
 The State Pension Board held fol- lowing a ruling by the attorney gen. eral, that any widow by death or di- yorce who now applies for a pension but who has remarked since the death of her soldier husband, must prove that she was the wife of such soldier during the Civil war. This ruling does not affect any widow who has hereto fore been allowed a pension"
 State Auditor Coffman and his clerical force are engaged in signing up the warrants for the Confederate pensions, of which there are this year 9,036, an increase of about 1000 over last year. The pro rata will be 70 cents on the collar against 72 last year.
 The treasurer's statement also shows 935 new applications for in creases in the pensions A total of 5T7 pensioners has died during the past year. The pension list this year will be larger than ever before, falling only little short of 10000 New applica tions were received from every county in the state except Crittenden. Sebas- tian and Ashley counties tied for the highest number of new applicants each sending thirty-three.
 The report of Pulaski county shows 25l widows and kindred of Confeder. ate soldiers drawing pensions and ap- plications for twenty more. During past year fifteen who were drawing pensions died. and in the new report six have asked for an increase.
 There was a total of s1.300. 900 ap- proprlated for the two years.
