Proceedings in Which the United States Government is Defendant In connection with the proceedings insti tuted by Morgan Bryan, trustee in bank ruptcy, to secure possession of the judg mrnts obtained against the United States by Alice V. Curtis, administratrix of the estate of William P. Curtis, argument was preserted on behalf of the United States by Assistant District Attorney Jesse Adkins before Justice Barnard today. In this case William P. Curtis entered a claim against the United States under the Indian depre dations law for reimbursement for damages done his property by the Indians. While the case was in the court of claims the claimant was declared a bankrupt, and Morgan Bryan was appointed trustee in bankruptcy. Shortly thereafter Curtis died, and his widow, as administratrix of his estate, had her name substituted as the claimant against the government, and was successful to the extent of obtaining two judgments. aggregating $6,000. The trustee in bank ruptcy has sought to restrain the claimant from receiving and the Secretary of the Treasury from paying the amount of the claims. The hearing today was devoted to the presentation of arguments by the district attorney's assistant in behalf of the Secre tary of the Treasury. All of the parties to the suit except Secretary Shaw are resi dents of the state of Texas. CANNOT DIVIDE SALARY. Minor Empjoyes at Freedman's Hos pital Must Wait. An order recently issued by the assist ant secretary of the interior abolishing the office of second assistant surgeon at the Freedman's Hospital has been rescinded, although the office has not been filled. The original order was issued at the in stance and upon the recommendation of Dr. William A. Warfield, the surgeon-in chief of the hospital, who said he did not believe the necessity existed for more than one assistant. The office paid a salary of $1,000 per year, and this sum, it was ar ranged by the Interior Department, should be paid in certain proportions to fifteen or twenty of the minor employes of the hos pital. The order passed the board of District Commissioners, to whom all such itatters are referred, but was turned down by the auditor for the Interior Department, who stated that he did not believe that such use could be made of funds appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose. He therefore refused to allow the claims made for its payment in shares to the other em ployes, and the order was accordingly re voked. It is not likely that another second assistant will be appointed, but that Con gress will be asked to adjust the matter at the next session. FREMONT AND LINCOLN CLUB. Meeting of "Old Boys" to Be Held at Riggs House Tomorrow. There will be a meeting of the Old Boys' Fremont and Lincoln Club at the Riggs House at 8 o'clock tomorrow evening.

The club has been promised all 'the assistance it will need in perfecting its national organiz ation. It is expected by its leaders that within a month or six weeks the organiza tion will be in full working order and that many thousands of the men who voted for the great emancipator will be banded to gether for active campaign work for the election of the republican ticket. While the movement is still in its formative pe riod, it is said that hundreds of approvals of the plan have been volunteered from men whose assistance will mean success.

The voucht r of Mr. Garfield was for actual expenses in traveling from Mentor, Ohio. his summer home, to Washington and back to Mentor. Mr. Garfield's letter to William L. Soleau, disbursing clerk of the depart ment, was as follows: "At the time this travel became necessary I was, with the knowledge and approval of the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, on vacation at my summer home in Men tor. Ohio. I was recalled to Washington for consultation upon official matters by telegraphic instructions from the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, a copy of which accompanied my account. In response to such instructions I came immediately to Washington for the sole purpose of the de sired conference, and after such conference returned at once to my home for the re mainder of my contemplated vacation." Mr. Garfield claimed further that this travel was undertaken under orders from his superior, and left no discretion on his part but to obey, and that this fact dis tinguishes it from the travel which occa sioned the decision of the controller re ferred to by the disbursing oficer, in that the travel was undertaken upon his own motion. The Controller's Decision. The decision of the controller of the treasury is as follows: "Mr. Garfield's official station is at Wash ington, and it is not denied that he left it and went to Mentor. Ohio. for his own con venience. He claims, however, to have been on vacation at his summer home at Mentor. Ohio, with the knowledge and ap proval of the Secretary of commerce and Labor, when he was recalled to Washing*on by the Secretary of Commerce and Labor for consultation. "He went to Mentor admitteily for his own convenience, and was for the time be ing residing there for his own conve"nience. There is no law which recogniz'"s the right of the head of a bureau to absent hinaself from the duties of his office on vacation, and if he is allowed to do so by his super ior officer, it is merely for his convenience, and his superior officer exercises no right to decide where he may spend his vacaeion. And if the public exigencies require his presence at his official station while on such vacation he must return there at his own expense. "I see no difference in principle in the case cited in the 3 Comp. Dec., 170, and the one in hand. "In the case of Fitzpatrick vs. United States. 37 Ct. Cl., 332, in uiscussing the question of the right of an officer to travel ing expenses when recalled from a leave of absence, the court said: 'An officer takes his leave of absence at his own risk; it is not granted for the benefit of the govern ment: if the government wants his services before his leave expires, it must have them, and the officer who takes the risk of that must bear the loss of his personal traveling expenses.' "I know of no exceptions to this rule even where the law provides for the granting of leaves of absence, and the fact that an officer leaves his official station for a vaca tion with the knowledge and approval of his official superior would certainly give him no greater right to traveling expenses in returning to meet an exigen^y requiting his presence than that of an officer allow ed leave by law. "You are not, therefore, authorized to pay the claim presented." Condition of Typhoid Fever Patients. tapt.
