that the German government will

Omnibus Bill Passed by Last Congress
Takes Claims Out Of Courts
Jurisdiction.

Washington, March 23.-Claims
acgegating S14,OOO,OOO, many Of them
growing out Of damage done in the
south by federal troops during the war
between the states, will be thrown Out
of court II the court of claims sustniuS
the contention placed by the DEPART
ment Of justice on a provision Of the
omnibus bill passed by the last con.
gress.
Assistant Attorney General Thomp-
son has notified counsel for claimants
and interested members Of congress Of
the departments contention, and the
point probably will be argued before
the court in the near future.
The department bases it's position
on section five OF the new law, that
provides that hereafter the court OF
claims shall not have Jurisdiction over
any claim against the United STAT
government growing out Of property
loss, stores or supplies or occupation
OF real estate by the military and ma
val frees Of the United States during
the war between the states or over
amy claim now barred by the provis-
Ions OF any law Of the United States"
According to the departments in
depreciation, this nullifes the action
OF the judicial code under whieh ron-
sress has referred to the court Of
claims hundreds Of cases for q report
as to whether the statute Of limita-
lions should be waived. A decision will
not affect any Of the claims for which
appropriations already have peeu
made.
Pending the courts decision, the lie
partment has ordered its field agents
TO suspend investigation Of all the
cases involved.

ing a few days as the guest of Robert
H. Martin, manager of the Washington

his conclusions. He is en- route to Flint,

tomobile show in New York. The at
tendance, he said. was the largest in the
history of automobile shows in that city
and a vast amount of business was ac-
complished.
