WINGTON, June 14.—The sale of rating drinks to soldiers in the District of Columbia is to be stopped by the police. Instructions have been sent out by the police department to call the attention of saloonkeepers to the law on the subject, and violators are to be prosecuted. Soon after the breaking out of the civil war, when Washington was filled with soldiers, congress passed a law, dated August 5, 1861, making it unlawful to sell or give any spiritous or intoxicating drink to American soldiers) This act has not been repealed. It has been amended, and is now directly applica- ble to licensed saloon proprietors. For some reason it has fiot been strict- ly enforced. Recently, however, the numerous soldiers in the city, who have imbibed quite freely, called to the mind of the District commission- ers the statute on the subject. Pension Frauds to Be Stopped. New Youi., June 14.—Frauds in the execution of pension vouchers have be- come so extensive that Commissioner of Pensions Henry Clay Evans has sent a letter to every notary public and other person in this city who has anything to do with the execution of pension vouchers, saying that a recent investigation ‘thas demonstrated an almost total disregard of the laws and regulations governing the subject.” He says that while many men do not realize their criminal liability, it is certain that many ‘“‘knowingly and y resort to violations of the The abuses to which the com- missioner calls particular attention are “post dating, false certification, false claim and ‘stock’ witnesses.” The pension bureau will institute criminal proceedings against the culprits.

Writ of Ouster Against St. Louls Trust Companies for doing a General Banking Business. JEFFERSON City, Mo., June 14—In the supreme court, sitting en bane to- day, an opinion by Judge Burgess was rendered granting the petition of At- torney General Crow for a writ of ouster against the St. Louis trust com- panies which are doing a general banking business contrary to their charters and the state banking law. The attorney general affirmed that the compani were doing general banking business by receiving and paying out deposits daily and as a re- sult of the decision they will be com- pelled to confine themselves to the business specified in their charters. The decision does not prohibit the trnst companies from receiving de but compels them to pay inter- est thereon. The supreme court, en bane, dented searing in the case of the attorney general vs Judge Bland, of the St Louis court of appeals) The decision was in favor of bland, who will not be ousted for alleged violation of the cor- rupt practices det National League Clubs Losing Money.
