Hundreds of claims of civil war veterans for pay or.allowances will hinge on the determination of the Court of Claims in the case of Wil- ford McElyea of Oskaloosa, IlL, for a bounty of $150 granted by Con- Bress to commissioned officers below the grade of brigadier general. The ¢laim has been decided adversely by the court, in a decision of Justice Downey of May 31 last, but the claim- ant’s attorney, Charies D. Penne- baker, is seeking a reopening of the case, ‘and toward that end has suc- ceeded in having the court require the controller general of the United States to furnish papers_concerning the records and claims of McElyea. At the term of the court which opens Monday it i3 expected that the question as to whither the court has jurisdiction in the case at this time will be decided, and on that point will hinge the thousands of other glaims which are expected to be ed. . Declaration in Petition. The petition of the attorney for McElyea asserts that claims for three mon(hs’ pay were made to the auditor for the War Department and disal- lowed, on the ground that the claim- ant was not in commission between March 3 and April 9, 1865. The audi- tor's opinion was upheld by the con- troller, who stated at the time that the auditor was without authority to even consider the case. . An act of March- 3, 1865, provides for the payment of three months’ pay to all officers of the volunteer forces of the United States during the civil war below the grade of brigadier general, who were in the service on March 3, 1865, and whose resignations ‘were presented and accepted or who were mustered out or otherwise hon- orably discharged from the service after April 9, 1865. After consideration of the McElyea claim, the Court of Claims. in _an opinion by Justice Downey, dis- missed the taking its ority the provision in the act of December 11, 1912, that no claim for arrears of pay, bounty or other allowances growing out of the service of volunteers in the Army of the United States during the civil war “shall be received or considered by accounting officers of the Treasury unless filed in the office of the auditor for the War Department on or before December 31, 1912.” Court Construes Clause. This passage the court construed as an intention of Congress to place a limitation on filling such_claims, and pointed out that while Congress subsequently appropriated money fon, the payment of such claims, it did so only because those claims were filed previous to the date mentioned. The subsequent appropriations did not act as.means of lifting the bar of limitations of the act of December 31, 1912 Elyea pointed out that the plaintiff did file a claim previous to the passage, and asked the court to call on the controller general of the United States for the papers in the McElyea case. The court did request the papers, but the controller general refused to furnish them. Then. on request of attorneys, the controller general poena and provided the papers re-| auired. They plain- tiff, on August 7, 1886, filed a claim for the bount BROKE SPRINT RECORD. Arthur Duffy in Car Eclipsed Gther | of Same Name. The hundred-yard dash record of Arthur Duffy of Georgetown Uni- versity was considerably lowered by the bearer of the same name, when Arthur Duffy, colored, was appre- hended by A or Cycle Policeman R. H. Mansfield of the second precinct for going at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour in a large touring car on North Capitol street. Duffy stated that he was running short of gas and was dashing for a service station. The service station happened, according. to the police- man’s story, to be mbout a hundred yards away.
