INJURED FIREMAN
is DENIED PENSION
Court Denies Writ OF Mandamus
Of William A. Schwerdtfeger.

A writ of mandamus to compel the
District Commissioners to place the
name of William A. SchwerdtfeEer. a for
mer fireman, on the pension rolls OF the
District Fire Department. was denied by
Justice Stafford, in Circuit Division No.
2, OF the District Supreme Court. yes
terday.
Schwerdtfegcr was one of the firemen
injured In the collapse OF a building in
seventh street northwest, occupied by
the American Five and Ten Cent store.
In December, 1918. lie was cited by
the head OF the Fire Department several
months ago to show cause why he
should not be dismissed from the serv-
Ice without a pension for dsa bility.
SchWerdtfeger was subsequently dis
missed from the service, the Commits
sioners contending that he was suffer-
ing from disability contracted previous
to his entering the Fire Department, and
was. therefore, not entitled to a pension.
The fireman claims that he was in good
health when accepted by the examining
board of the Fire Department, and that
his disability resulted in the perform
ance Of Fire Department duty.
An appeal on behalf of Schwerdtfeger
will be taken by his attorneys, Robert
