COST OF NEW PENSIONS MAY PASS BILLION Heavy Burden to Be Placed on Taxpayers If House Bill Becomes Law. MADE EASY TO QUALIFY Civil War Compensation History Repeated on Larger Scale. BY TALCOTT POWELL The pension for World war widows and orphans which has been passed by the house will commit the taxpayers to huge expenditures for the next century, if past experience with similar legislation is any indication. Even experts have no wav of accurately estimating the cost, since it is impossible to Judge how many World war veterans may marry before they die. but there is every indication that the total cost may run as high as the proposed two billion dollar bonus. Widows and orphans of men who di*d in military service are not provided for in this new legislation. Under previous laws, a woman whose husband lost his life from service-connected disability is receiving S3O a month, plus $lO for the first child and $6 for each additional child. The present legislation would give a widow with an income not exceeding $250 a year S2O a month pension, with $6 additional for each child The widow need not have been married to the veteran at the time of the World war. She may not have even been bom until after the war. Requirements Are Easy Only requirement for the pension is that her husband served ninety days in the army or navy before the armistice and that the had lived with him prior to his death for five years. Estimates of the costs of this measure are twenty millions the first year and $100,000,000 for the next five years. These seem low when it is considered that an almost identical law passed in It9o for Civil war widows and orphans cost from $50,000,000 to $70,000,000 annually for more than a decade and still is a heavy drain on the treasury. And there were nearly twice as many men under arms in the World war as there were on the Union side during the Civil war. Each war In which this country fought has brought the same cycle of relief measures for widows and orphans. The country provides for dependents of those actually killed in the service immediately after the close of hostilities. Then, through the ensuing years, the legislators constantly liberalize the original plan, until the burden of cost becomes many times that originally contemplated.

First Passed in 1678 _ The first widows’ and orphans’ pension was passed in this country by the colony of Maryland in 1678. It was based flatly on service-con-nected deaths. During the Revolution. Pennsylvania provided for widows and orphans of those dying in battle, during actual service or captivity by the enemy. The Continental congress followed with a law pensioning widows of officers. Fifty-three years after the Revolution, there were some heavy treasury surpluses. The Jackson administration opened the law wider by giving pensions to all Revolutionarywidows provided they were married during the war. In 1878 Revolutionary widows of men who had served fourteen days, or in an engagement, were pensioned. This Revolutionary pension list was active until 1906. when the last widow died. The war of 1812 widow legislation followed the same general lines. The taxpayers still are taking care of six widows of this war. The Civil war widows’ pensions provide a closer parallel to the present situation. In 1862 widows were given grants only if their husbands died from causes directly traceable to injuries received, or disease contracted while in miltary service. Gates Are Opened For nearly three decades this remained the principle of the Civil war widows' pension. Then in 1890 congress struck out the provision of service-connected death and gave pensions to all widows and children. Their husbands must have been discharged honorably after at least ninety days’ service and they must have married priot to June 27, 1890. Dr. William H. Glasson. in his study of these pensions for the Carnegie Foundation, says of this act: “It was the high bid for the political support of the 450.000 G. A. R. men ana other ex-soldiers with both the Republican and the Democratic parties bidding. “Before it was superseded in 1907, it cost the country more than sl,000.000,000. The amount was raised by taxation upon all the people and paid out to a favored class. “The provision especially benefited young women, who. long years after the war. married elderly exsoldiers. It made it possible to grant military pensions, regardless of the cause of the husband’s death, to widows who were unborn or merely small children when the Civil war ended.” With the change of only a very few words. Dr. Glasson's statements would be an expression of the point 0 view of critics of the present widows and orphans’ legislation. The only difference between the present widows and orphans’ measure and the one passed in 1890 is that it took twenty-eight years to pass the latter, while the former has gone through the house only fourteen years “after the war."

BY JOSEPH MITCHELL Copvrsefit. 1832. bv The New York Tele- • cram Coro t A T night the fishing boats leave the Grand Banks, sailing with live loads under the cold sea moon. Sturdy men with flounder scales clinging to their thick canvas jackets sit on the battened hatches and speak kind but hearty words for the soul of the last of a line of savage waterfront shrews, Mrs. Edna Tipsy. The story of how the muscular Mrs. Tipsy, who was passionately In love with the bottle, was subdued by her irritable husband, captain of a fishing boat, still is repeated by the first men of Pulton Market, the gentleir i who shuck clams, scale trout and eirk lean flounders in smashed Ice. It Is one of the folktales of the New' York waterfront. Mrs. Tipsy, whose real name matters even less now than It did then, was the proprietor of a crimp house, or a boarding house from which sailors were shanghaied, at 25 Cherry street, next door to the site of a low restaurant in which the b~cf steak party is rumored to have originated. She also kept a flounder stall in Fulton Market and in the spring mornings of 1880 her vigorous curses often reached the pigeon rafters. n * a THE estimable lady was originally called "Mrs. Tip” because “she tiptoed behind seamen made drowsy by rum and loud talk and dropped laudanum in their halffilled glasses, making it easy for them to be shanghaied by associates of her ruffianly husband." Later she was known as Mrs. Tipsy. Her husband, the captain, owned a small boat which brought fish from Long Island sound into the market. It was his principal occupation, because he and his wife were usually too tipsy to be efficient at the shanghai process. Seamen knew- their habits and never would drink from open

glasses at the bar. They would select an untampered bottle of rum and Mrs. Tipsy had to watch her chance to place her evil drops In their guarded glasses. The boat was named after the captain's first wife Susan and it was an endless source of trouble. Mrs. Tipsy was wont to complain, loud and long, that the boat's name should be changed to Edna, in honor of her. One night in the early spring of 1860, according to South street fishermen whose fathers told them, the captain and his crew of two Scandinavians made the Susan fast to a market pier and tramped home to the crimp house. m m WET to their tough skins and weary of the ice which lingered in the spring waters, they entered the barroom in the whitewashed cellar of the house and came upon Mrs. Tipsy sitting on the bar with an ale mug in each hand. Her customary drink was a mixture of rum. claret and hot gin poured into a mug. She sat upon the bar and cursed her husband. Seamen, sitting at dirty tables, shouted encouragement. "He’s got. no respect for me," yelled Mrs. Tipsy. "He calls the filthy boat after his first wife. She’s dead and gone to hell, rest her soul, and it would mean no slight to her If the sloop's name was changed to mine. Be damned if it would!" The captain, enraged by the scene, knocked his helpmate from the bar. She got up. screaming, and pushed him against the stove, scorching his oilskins. Infuriated the captain took the woman across his knees and punished her severely. Then he pushed her behind the bar. her rightful place, and commanded drinks for himself and his crew. a * a A treacherous lady. Mrs. Tipsy poured a little laudanum in the captain's second and third glasses of rum. The customers left and the captain's men went upstairs to bed. Soon the captain slept in his chair. Then Mrs. Tipsy took a pistol from the cash drawer, went upstairs and, pointing the pistol, routed out the captain's two sailors. "Come with me to the pier,” ordered Mrs. Tipsy, waving the gun. “I'm taking the boat to the grounds. I'm captain now, you dirty hounds!" Holding the gun, she conducted the men aboard the boat and ordered them to cast off. The trembling men, certain she had killed her husband, obeyed every order. The boat, caught by the tide,

down and shoot. A ten-foot ring, like those we use in Ringer, is pretty large, you know. But with a certain number of marbles in the ring, in a certain position, to take advantage of every break, there aren’t many choices. Take a look at the picture here. There are five mibs in the ring, all in a line. The player is shooting from an angle. But it makes a whale of a lot of difference from what angle he shoots. Remember that every marble, when first placed in the ring, is three inches from another mib. But when an angle shot is tried, the mibs are brought much closer together. Always shoot at an angle so that if you miss one mib, you have a good chance of hitting another. Down at the finals last June at Ocean City. N. J„ I believe every city champ there walked around the ring a time or two before knuckling down, looking for the angle shots. Next: I'm going to tell you about putting the old English on your shots.

dirfted slowly into the bay, heading for the Narrows and the sea. Alarmed, the men pleaded with her to allow them to drop anchor or turn sails for the sound. “There's more fish in the sea,” she shouted. When the sloop was off Staten Island and drifting rapidly Mrs. Tipsy went below for paint with which to write her name on the bow. Taking advantage of the situation, the frightened crew nailed a cover on the companionway, imprisoning the woman below. Then they dropped anchor, lowered a rowboat and pulled as fast as their frightened muscles allowed for the Staten Island shore. a a a T ATE next morning the captain •*“' and the two men returned to the anchored boat. They said nothing to the woman, who apparently had gone to sleep, but turned the ship back to the Fulton piers. It was tied up. and the captain, weak from anger and laudanum, went below and dragged his wife to the deck. While she watched with terrified eyes, he nailed a standing* to the mast and fixed a block and tackle to the end of the timber. On the pier were hundreds of fishermen and marketmen, gazing at the grisly procedure and certain the captain was preparing to hang his wife. They cheered lustily as the captain tied the rope around the middle of his struggling wife. He hitched the rope into the pulley. Then he ordered the men to take the rope, and Mrs. Tipsy, screaming at the top of her hoarse voice, was dropped head-first into the icy water. The willing crew dropped her in and hauled her out twenty times. Each time she was hauled out, dripping and coughing, the ill-na-tured captain leaned over the boat's side and spanked her vigorously with an oar. m a m THERE have been other forward females on the Manhattan waterfront as deserving of tribute as the wives whose vocabularies made the Billingsgate fish stalls in London notorious. Predominant among these was Gallus Mag, bouncer in the Hole-in-the-Wall. a sailor’s resort which flourished at Water and Dover streets, in the Civil w*ar period.

LAW VIOLATION ON BALLOTS CHARGED Sealed Packages Opened by Workers, Wilson Told. Reports that sealed packages of voting tally sheets were being opened by workers in the office of election commissioners was investigated today by County Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson. Witnesses declared they watched election commission workers open the tally packages and read the unofficial tally on precincls as inspectors and poll officials brought sealed ballots to the courthouse. It is a violation of law to open the packages at any time before they arc put in hands of the canvassing board, complaints to the prosecutor charged. Workers said they opened the packages to ascertain whether the sheets were signed properly. Simultaneously the practice was to note the unofficial results in closely contested races, they declared. It was pointed out that this procedure had been followed in ptevious years and members of both parties were present when packages are opened. This would prevent altering tally sheets, workers said.

HUNT BANDIT HERE Bank Robber Headed for City, Police Learn. Underworld dives were searched here today as police joined a hunt .or a lone bandit who robbed the Farmers Trust Company at Rushville, Ind., Wednesday afternoon of $1,200 and escaped. Police said they believe the bandit is an Indianapolis man after receiving reports shat an auto, answering description of the one used by the raider, passed through several cities en route here. The robber confronted Robert L. Newkirk, bank cashier, with a revolver and ordered him into the vault. He then collected bags containing $2,000 and started to leave. As he closed the vault door on Newkirk, however, one of the bags containing SBOO dropped to the floor, preventing him from shutting the vault door completely. Newkirk said the bandit locked the bank door after entering. The robbery was not discovered until a customer found the door was locked and notified Bert L.

EMPHATIC WET VOTE IS CAST BY DEMOCRATS Eight Candidates Opposed to Anti-Saloon League Named for Congress. 3. 0. P. TAKES DRY SIDE Only Two Republicans on November Ticket Are Prohibition Foes. . Hoosier Democrats found themselves on the wet side of the prohibition question today. after nominating eight congressional candidates frankly unfavorable to the Anti-Saloon League, and only four who carried its indorsement. Party lines were defined more clearly on this question than had been anticipated, with Republicans showing just as positive a ' dry" leaning. Only two of the G. O. P. congressional nominees—those in districts so wet that a dry didn't have a chance—were listed as having ••wet" leanings. In virtually every district, except the Eighth, voters had the opportunity of choosing between wet and dry candidates. In the Eighth, all aspirants had campaigned on antiprohibition platforms. This district and the First—Lake county—where nine wets entered the race against one dry, were the only sections where Republicans selected candidates opposed by the Anti-Saloon League. Boote Is Main Issue Democrats selected moist candidates in the First, Second. Third. Fourth, FLth, Sixth. Eighth and Tenth districts. The election was the first since enactment of prohibition that the liquor issue was made predominant. Observers believed prohibition would be stressed by the Democratic nominees in the fall campaign. thus forcing the issue upon party leaders have been hesitant to express their views for fear of antagonizing the dry element of the party. Strength of the wet vote in the party, as revealed in the primary, is virtually certain to precipitate a bitter battle in the state convention over the question o i inserting a w’et plank in the platform. Dry Is Ousted Evidence of the force behind the wet vote was seen clearly in the Sixth and Fourth districts. In the former, the anti-prohibition element In Vigo and Vermillion counties combined to nominate Mrs. Virginia Jenckes and force the retirement of Courtland Gillen. Incumbent, who I voted against the Beck-Linthicum resolution. In the Fourth district, a record vote was cast to nominate James I. Farley, wet candidate, who was runner-up for the nomination in 1930. Opposition of Republicans to a wet candidate was shown in the Fourth district, where, despite the efforts of the strong Allen county organization, David Hogg was nominated overwhelmingly over Dr. Harry O. Jones. Berne. Hogg, congressman since 1924, obtained a majority of more than 11, votes.

CITY STUDENT GIVEN BACTERIOLOGY AWARD University of Chicago Prize Won by William Borrows. Award of the Howard Taylor Ricketts prize for 1931-32 by the University of Chicago, has been made to William Burrows, 1535 Central avenue, a graduate student in the department of hygiene and bacteriology. He is a candidate for a Ph. D. degree. Burrows holds a B. S. degree from Purdue university and an 4 M. S. degree from the University of Illinois. The prize Is given the student who has the best record in research work in pathology or bacteriology. Burrows won by establishing the fact that certain animo-acids are essential to formation of botulinum toxin, a poison that develops in preserved foods. The award is a memorial to Dr. Howard Taylor Ricketts, university bacteriologist, who died a martyr to his work, and is made on May 3 annually, the anniversary of his death. He discovered the germ of typhus fever, but paid with hi* life for the achievement. FEDERAL TRIALS TO BE DELAYED UNTIL FALL Court Handicapped by Lack of Funds for Jury Fees. There will be no civil jury trials in federal courts until the fall term, it was announced today by Judge Robert C. Baltzell, who said the situation was caused by lack of funds to pay Jury fees. For a time, Baltzell said, it appeared 1 there would be no money to pay criminal case jurors, but a special arrangement was made to meet the expense. This Is taken to mean there will be no delay in trials of the Anderson and Muncie liquor conspiracy cases, and of Claude M. Worley, former Indianapolis police chief, charged with income tax evasion. Baltzell called attorneys in several important civil cases before him this morning and advised them of the jury situation, and pointed out thab such cases could be tried by th# judge. It is expected this course will be pursued in several instances. Stimson on Way Home By United Prei* ABOARD MOTORLINER VULCANIA, May s.—State Secretary Henry L.
