WHAT THEY GET
Table by Which Policies Would BE
Figured. Issued.

by the Associated Press.
Washington, ID. C., March 10
The soldier bonus bill passed Tues
day by the House provides for the
following payments:
Exclusive of the first 60 days OF
service. each enlisted man and woman
and officer up to and including the
rank of captain in the army and ma
rine corps and lieutenant. senior grade.
in the navy, is entitled to a credit Of
81 for each day of home service and
S1.25 for each day of overseas service.
If all service was at home. $500 is the
maximum allowed. and if part was
overseas $625 is the maximum.
Those not entitled to more than 500
would be paid in cash, and to Others
an insurance policy would be issued.
The amount of this policy is figured
on the total of adjusted compensation
due ON length of service plus one
fourth of that total.
The value of the insurance policy
may then be completed by multiplying
total compensation by the proper fac
tor shown in the accompanying table
prepared by the Veterans Bureau.
The age of the veteran at the nearest
birthday to the date at which the
certificate is issued should be used.
The policies would be dated January
/, 1925, under terms of the bill.
Thus, veteran who is 81 years OF
age at the time his policy is issued,
and who would be entitled to the max
imum amount of overseas service cred
it-S625-would be entitled to a policy
equal to S625. plus S156.25 lone

Insane Mexican Found to
Be Suffering With Dread
Disease.
in JAIL FOUR DAYS
Other Prisoners Panic
stricken But Physicians
See No Cause for Alarm.

A well developed case OF leprosy
has been discovered in the Bexar coun'
tv Jail. The man suffering from the
dread malady is said to be ApaloniC
Barrera. a Mexican, who was taken
into custody ON March 10 and has
been held in Jail on lunacy charge.
Discovery was made Monday, ac-
cording to reports, and the man was
at once placed in n separate cell,
away from the other prisoners. Prior
to that time he had been in the cell
with a number Of other men. DIR. ID.
Berrey. county health officer. it is
understood. made an examination OF
Barrera and pronounced the disease
leprosy. 1t is also understood that
other local physicians have confirmed
DR.. Berrey's diagnosis of the case.
Prisoners Wildly Excited.
Upon discovery of the case Dr..
Berrey is said to have at once gotten
in touch with federal authorities with
a view to having the man removed to
a leper colony in Louisiana. The state
of Texas has heretofore failed to pro-
vide place for lepers so the county
has been compelled to appeal to the
federal government whenever case
of leprosy is discovered.
Discovery of the case is said to
have caused CONSERVATION among the
prisoners at the county Jail and i'm
mediate steps were taken to insure the
prisoners and Jail attaches from pos
sible contraction of the disease. Fumi-
CATION and every known means of dis
infection was Immediately employed.
Not Highly Infectious.
Leprosy. according to physicians. is
not a highly infectious disease and
is very rarely communicated from one
person to another except by close per-
sonal contact. 1t is not believed that
the presence of the one case in the
Jail will place the other occupants in
any danger of becoming infected with
the malady.
Barrera. it is understood, will be
removed to a leper colony just as soon
as arrangements can be perfected.
Meanwhile he will be kept in cell
far removed from other cells occupied
by prisoners.
