eide Issues This Week.

The points of intersection OF Wash

intercompaSy transfers are to be is
sued, will be decided upon within
the week. it was predicted by officials
here yesterday.
John A. Beeler, traffic expert, and
representatives OF the company are
to hold a conference at 10 O'Clock
this morning in which is hoped that
the work will get under way in ear
nest. A preliminary conference was
held yesterday. upon the arrival In

resent the Public Utilities Commis-
sion at the hearings.
No definite steps were taken yes
terday, although several preliminary
matters were disposed Of.
Mr.. Beeler stated yesterday that II
was improbable that intercompany
transfers would be granted at all OF
the thirty-six points of intersection,
although efforts will be made TO Sc
cure free transfers at as many OF
them as possible without inturing the
companies financially.

Mrs, Robber shivered. II hope he
doesn't come" she squeaIed family.
He didn't. For a long, long time
they watched, but Shadow the Wea-
sci didn't come out from under the
barn. and at last they made up their
minds that he wasn't going to follow
them. After a while they stopped
shivertnE with fear and began to shiver
with cold. for it was very drafty un-
der that porch.
This won't do. This won't do at

freeze to death. Under this porch is no

So Mrs Robber kept watch and Rob-
Der ran around under the porch. The
more he ran around the more sure he

An Indian War Pension Claim

To the Editor Of The Star:
Please give this space in your COL
umns. The writer, one of great many
Indian war veterans. who were in one
of the hardest and longest campaigns
since the civil war. was in several Sc
we're engagements, which are on record
in the War Department, having made
an application for pension. stating my
own personal encounters with the
Apache Indians in Arizona from April,
1870, to January. 1872. which has been
rejected by the pension bureau. Now
there was granted by Congress an In
dian war pension bill to all soldiers
that served in the Indian campaigns
from 1865 to 1891. I served in Troop
A, Sd United States Cavalry, from 1869
to 1874, inclusive, and received an hon.
orable discharge at the expiration of
my enlistment. What kind of a farce
pension bill is this. that will turn
down a soldier who served in the
hostile Indian campaigns, and was en-
gagged in actual fighting. where we lost
several of lour men and horses? The
writer sent in his claim for pension
under the said bill of March 4. 1917,
which was rejected. as they claim that
there was no pension granted for the
Apache campaigns. The writer has
been granted by the War Department
an Indian war medal for meritorous
services The government is lauding its
iiberality toward the old soldiers. The
writer fails to see It, ]. c. HAYS.
