HEAD SCORES vuo 0F PENSION BILL Saltzberger Asks Con- gress to Pass‘ It Again — “Cruel and Unjust” WASHINGTON: acterlzing the veto Coolidge of the Bursum pension bill as "cruel and unjust." Gaylord M. Saltzbergcr, commanllcr-ln-chicf of the Grand Army of the Republic ap- pcalcd by wire to senators to over- ride it. “The veto of President Coolidge is so unjust to the feeble old veterans who so nobly saved Lhelr country, that I cannot find words sufficient— ly strong to characterize it." ‘the message. sent from Van Wert. Ohio. said. “With their just claims against the government they are ignomlnl- ously turned from the door of help and hope. It cannot be possible that the great nation has forgotten those who saved it from disunion. “On behalf of my suffering and deserving comrades. I appeal to the branch of the government best rep- resenting the people, the American Congress, to right this grievous wound and pass the Bursum pension bill over the veto of the President. The old men and women Whom we thought had earned the nation's gratitude now at the average of 81 years, plead on bended knees to Congress to give them aid in their enfeebleu old age and thus give ex- pression to a prayer for simple jus- tice, which I am sure the people of our nation will heartily approve. Thanks to these Union veterans and Almighty God. the government at Washington still lives. With broken hearts they and the widlws will ap- peal everywhere that Congress may override the cruel veto. " t Commander Albert D. Alcorn of the United States War Veterans, telegraphed senators declaring the President had recommended con- struction of an $18,000,000 bridge over the Potomac river here, and asking: "Is it to be millions for monu- ments to an ideal and a stone in- stead of bread for those who made possible the spirit Of America?" Senator Bursum, Republican, New Mexico. plans to call the bill up to- day in an attempt to pass it over the veto. liar 6.—Char- Obituary Katherine Donahue.

A meeting of the members of the local committee for the Near East Relief Fund and of those who are working in the interest of the pres- ent drivepwas held‘ at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George C. Brown, of France street, last evening. In the absence of the chairman. John Cavanagh. the meeting was presid- ed over by the vice chairman. Mrs. A. M. Fcchhcimer. There were ad- dresses by members of the State committee, Mr. Kazmier. Miss Baum- garten. Miss Haley being among those who spoke. Herbert Gumb, another member of the State com- mittee. was the principle speaker. He said in part: . a "I am very glad to see Mrs. Yar- row here this evening. because I wish to pay tribute to Captain Yar- row. who is one of the heroes of the Near East Relief. His training. his executive ability, his devotion to the interests of the desolate people of the Near East. have been invaluable. The splendid work that America has done would have been impossio ble without him. “Perhaps the most difficult part of the Near East Relief work is the fact that it has to go on year after year. and it will have to go on for some years yet. Every effort is made to find work for the homeless adults. and to tralln the young chil- dren. ‘17.000 orphans have already been placed in situations in which they are self-supporting. but the larger portion of the remainder are still less than 12 years old. and must be nurtured and trained for some years. “It is so difficult to imagine that nothing lies between these 60,000 children and death itself except the, breakfast and the lunch which America will provide tomorrow and by the way. this breakfast canfiot be paid for tomorrow and this is why we must raise money at once. “America has spent $125,000,000 since 1915 on these people. who have neither homes nor government. but even that enormous amount would not have been enough if it had not been for the generous gtfts which have been made besides. For in- stance, whole train loads of wheat have been given by some of the large flour companies. and the railroads have given 'free transportation across the country to this wheat and ships have carried it across the At~ lanuc. United States Government destroyers have filled every cranny in their holds withcargoes of food and clothing for the refugees. Work- ers have given their sex-Vices. or asked little more than maintenance. Ninety-six cents out of every dollar of the Fund is spent directly for relief work. Poor. bankrupt Greece save her buildings and even her king's palace for the use of the refugees. Soviet Rumia likewise gave free use of some of the Czar’s old barracks. One little company gave 400 yards of cloth to be used for clothing. Soap, tooth brushes— thlnk of providing tooth brushes for 60,000 children—have‘ been donated. City Briefs Mr. Louis Fumo of Norwalk and New lork was a. week-end guest of Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Matron of Ridge field, N. Y. \ _ e e e The civil action of Fred J. Kaiser against Marie T. Murphy came up yesterday in the uptown city court before Judge George Vosburgh. The plaintiff claimed $105 damages on a. contract for plumbing services. Judgment for the plaintiff was taken by agreement of the defendant with- out any hearing. 0 O 0 At the Norm-all; Congregational church Sunday, Rev. Ernest F. Mc- Gregor, pastor of the church. read a sermon by Dr. Edwin Hall at the morning services. The sermon. in printed form. was secured from the cornerstone of the old Congregation- al church which was burned down. It was dated 1843. Dr. Hall was formerly pastor of the local church. C O O A meeting of the Perfect Crafts- man's Quarry of “Old \Vcll Lodge was held last eveningg. O O O The ladies of the Rowayton Bap- tist church will hold a rummage sale on Friday and Saturday of this week in the store on North Main street which was formerly occupied by the Self-Sonics shoe company. _ e e s The Melody Quintet will hold a dance Friday night at the Klondike club.

H. Decker to shut it off. Later Mr. Decker reported that his place had been entered. but the matter was explained to him. i John Rinko of 10 Podmore street. was placed under arrest last night by Patrolman Martin Lengyel on the charge of breach of the peace and in toxication. His case will come up in the downtown city court Saturday before Judge Candee. He was re- leased under bonds pending trial. Will Build $8, 000 Store in Main St. Building Inspector George Rub- bell issued the following building permits this morning: Annie Plander, hous. addition in Crockett street, cost $1. 000. Paul War-go. garage in New Cs.- naan avenue. cost $625. A. Basile, store addition in Bay- mond street. cast. $500. A. Gi-een. store in Main street. cost $8, 000. Many persons shoulder the burden ‘of raising the enormous sum of money which is necessary. “The return will be equally enor— 'mous. The future leaders of the Near East must be among these chil- dren nourished by the fund, for these are the children who are strong enough to survive the terri- ble experience through which they have gone. These survivors. Amerl-. can trained. hold the future of the Near East in their hands, and the splflt of good will and mutual sup- port which is nourishing them now. must be an important factor in Near East relations ,when they are its - leaders." “r By GEO..M’MANUS Elks Sing (Continued from Page One.) with three bouquets and was round- ly applauded. “Widdcrs.” Another good number was "Wid- ders." sung by Miss Harmon and Messrs.
