WIDOWS ASSURED
OF FEDERAL AID
Pension Rules Made Less
Rigid by Mr..
Fall
OKLAHOMA CASE UP
Independent Scouts During
Civil War and Heirs to
Receive Awards

NY tNH AHnN'iaAsh WEE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The
secretary OF the interior has Just rem
dcred a very interesting opinion re-
lating to former widows OF veterans
of the Cltl war.
Under the act of May 1, 1920, such
a widow must show that all subse-
quent marriages have been dissolved
and, in case of divorce, that the same
was obtained without default on her
part. The records OF the courts OF
The various states, both under the
net OF 1920, and prior legislation,
have been accepted by the bureau
Of pensions as conclusive where the
husband obtained the divorce from
the wife, " showing fault on the
part OF the wife.
The secretary now rules, however,
MAJ where the husband moved into
slme other state than that where
the wife resided and obtained service
by publication, and there is nothing
in the record to show actual service
on the wife, the wife would be en-
titled TO make a showing that she
was not at fault and that such
showing could be made in the PEN
sion bureau itself.
The case in which the decision was
rendered is that OF Mary NJ, as for
mer widow of William Keaton, who
died in 1879. Several years after
ward the widow married a man
named Irwin, in Missouri. Irwin sub
eequently moved to Oklahoma, and
in 1904 obtained a divorce without
knowledge on the part OF his wife.
Under the former practice, the
widow would be denied the pension
because the husband obtained the
divorce. Under the present ruling,
tte widow will be entitled to make
showing. as a matter of fact, that
Abs was not al fault.
Another interesting opinion OF the
secretary is in the reversal of a de-
cislon OF the bureau of pensions and
the permission Of a pension TO Clai-
borne Beatty, OF Capt. David Beaty's
Independent company OF scouts.
Capt, David Beatty organized his
scouts IN 1862, and the company
rendered service under the command
OF the army of Tennessee through
the Civil a The troops, however,
were never rgustered into the regu-
lar military service of the United
States, and consequently the scouts
had no status under the pension
laws.
IN 1870. however, an act was
passed for the relief Of Beaty's
scouts, giving them the same status
as other soldiers. The pension bu-
reau, nevertheless. held for many
years that this did net permit of pen
sions 10 the scouts, except as TO prior
legislation. Secretary FAN has now
decided that under the language OF
that act the benefits OF the pension
laws, whether passed prior to that
time or since, come within the pur-
view Of that act and that the scouts
sree entitled to relief Hereunder.
