100000 prenuptial settlement few
days before she married seventy
three year-old George NJ Oyster ir., of
Washington, member of the Oyster

Relatives of Mr.. Oyster have made
no attempt to screen their hostility
toward the beautiful young widow of
the Washington man, and in Mrs.
Oysters words at his funeral they
showed her no more "politeness than
decorum demanded.''
Mrs. James Ready, mother of Mrs.
Oyster, has just returned from Wash
ington, where she has been visiting
her daughter. She refused to discuss
the settlement. She said Mrs. Oyster
was expected here soon for a visit.
The member Of the Oyster family
who told of the pre-nuptial settle
ment, also declared that Mrs. Oyster
had decided to accept her dowry rights
in the estate without contest. The

Camps to Give Health Tests

Captain Arthur F. Cosby, executive
secretary Of the Military Training
Camps Association, announced yester.
day that plan would be inaugurated
at the Plattsburg camps this summer
whereby records would be made of the
physical condition of each applicant,
and in case of physical defects, the
men would be instructed in what
course of treatment to follow.
The plan provides for complete
physical examination of each man
upon his arrival at camp, with nota-
tlons of his physical defects. Upon
MS return home he will receive a re-
port of his physical condition, and a
careful follow-up system will be used.
whereby army officers will keep in
constant touch with men, to give fur
ther advise and keep the condition
record up to date.

Navy Men Slugged
By Strangers; Two
Attacks a Mystery
One Stabbed and Another
Blackjacked; Neither Has
Amy Idea Why He Was
Assaulted or Who Did 1t

Edgar Bryant, yeoman, and Arthur
w. Harold, seaman, who work in the
same office in the navy yard receiving
ship, were attacked separately by thugs
early yesterday morning on Sands
Street. near the yard. Bryant believes
his assailants mistook him for some
one else.
They were two men, he said, one Of
whom bumped into him. At the same
moment he felt pain in his neck and
lost consciousness. One of the men
had stabbed him. The knife missed his
jugular vein and it was said at Cum
bertrand Street Hospital, to which he
was takenfi that he would recover.
"The men never said word to me-"
said Bryant, "and made quick get
away. | really believe it was case of
mistaken identity, that they took me
for some one else. I learned from one
of my pals that there had been fight
in the street a few hours before"
Half an hour later Harold was
hlackJacked not far from where Bryant
was attacked. He was taken to the
naval hospital with severe scalp
wound.
II do not know what hit me-" said
Harold, ~ was bound for the navy
yard and was alone. understand from
witnesses that it was man in civilian
clothes who struck me, but why he did
it do not know"
Lieutenant Reuben C. Conner, who
was on the desk in the Poplar Street
police station, was shocked at the init
nation made by the injured sailors that
civilians had ATTACKED them, possibly
gangsters. He said there hadn't been
more than ten arrests for gang fighting
In the precinct in three years, that
everybody in that vicinity was law
abiding and that he believed sailors had
attacked Bryant and Harold.

A reduction of 29,476 in the number
OF pending compensation and insur-
ance claims of former service men and

standing the fact that new claims have

receive at once as complete action as
is possible on the data presented.

before the bureau 80 ,401 claims for
compensation and 5,7SS insurance
claims; on July 1. 1921, the account
stands $1,000 pending compensation
claims and S,025 pending insurance
claims. while during that period of
time 56,25S new claims have been filed
with the bureau.
