ARE RELATED HERE
Among the most interesting of the
reminiscences of Abrahsra Lincoln re
lated today, on the anniversary of tha
birth of the msrtyred president, are
the personal recollections of John
Uarrow, Lane county circuit court
bailiff. Mr. Harrow as a lad of 13
years resided in Washington sud from
112 until lotis, when President Liu
coiu was aBsJBsimned,- frequently adw
lie president in tho .streets, under the
watchful care oi the war-time bvdy
guani, and on several occasions at
tended White Houhs receptions. ;
''I don't believe boys have changed
niucn in tne more tnun uu years sin
1 was a buy at the national capital,"
Mr. Darrow said today us he smiling
ly described many of the thnllinj
events of ii is boyhood.
"With a companion of my own aii.i.
Joe VanArsdiile, who before the death
of President Liucolu .was appointed a
messenger in the treasury depart
ment, an dis still employed in that de
partment after 60 yenss Bcrviee, we
frequently visited the White Hous.;,
We did this withuut special invitation
similar to the plan followed by many
lads toduy. We dressed in odr bent
and wuited near the carriage cntrnnce
to the White House until the arrival
of a parly without children. We just
trailed along close to them and the
door guards as a rule believed we
belonged with the family.
Knew Lincoln Well.
"President Lincoln spoke often to
us on these visits, Bliook us by the
hand and patted our heads. We en
joyed the White House invasions very
niucn even though wo lucked a legal
invitution," Mr. Darrow laughed.
During the war days whenever the
president left the White House he
was accompanied by a troop of about
100 calveryinen, Mr. Harrow stated
Mr. Darrow and several of his
young friends by a few minutes du-lay-in
reaching Fords theater were
not present the night that the presi
dent was assassinated. The boya com
ing late decided that 25 cents was
too much to pay for a gallery sea:
inasmuch as one act had passed and
they went home.
' lived in the next block from Sec
retary of War Stanton who was al3o
marked for death by assassins. He
escaped. 1 recall the commotion caus
ed in Washington following the shoot
ing of the president and the attempts
on the lives of Stanton and Secretary
of itate Seward. Across the, street
from my home a troop of calvery was
quurtered in barracks. The sudden
calling out of all troops in the city
the posting of a chain guard around
the borders to prevent the escape of
John Wilkes Booth, the assassin,
threw the entire city into excite
ment."
Excitement la Told.
Mr. Darrow describes the situation
throughout Washington the following
day when it was believed that Booth
was still in the city, Every street had
its provost guard and searching was
under way everywhere, ho slates. A
report -that Booth was seen to enter
the Kirkwood ln-uie, a hotel at
Twelfth and Pennsylvania svenue.
wss spread during the day. Troops
Immediately surrounded the entire
block and msde a minute search, let
ting nobody pass across the four
streets until it was determined sev
ers I hours Ister that Booth was not
in the buildng.

TO FILE CLAIMS
Veterans of the World war in Eu
gene who have not submitted ap
plications for their bonuses are again
urged by Miss GrO.ee Norton, secre
tary of the Lane county chapter of
the Hod C'rosft, to uo so at once.
"The war department .8 daily re
ceiving caHes in which veterans who
thought themselves in the best of
health have died or nave been killed
by accident without having submitted
their applications for adjusted com
pensation," says Miss Norton. "Their
widows and children, many of them
in needy circumstances, receive in
such coses cash to the amount of the
adjusted credit, an amount equal to
approximately one-third only of what
he would have received in one pny
ment in cash had the veteran made
application prior to death.
"For instance, should a veteran
who served over seas for a period
entitling him to tho maximum amount
of adjusted service credit of $625,
die without filing his claim, his widow
would receive that amount only in 10
quarterly payments while if he filed
his application prior to his death,
she would get approximately $1580
In one payment in cash.
"Cash payments under the act be
come due on March 1, 1025, and pay
ment will be delayed unless the vet
eran applies a sufficient time in ad
vance of that date to enable the war
department to properly pass on ap
plication and transmit it to the Vet
erans' bureau."
Veterans may obtain application
blanks, have their finger prints taken,
and receive other assistance in com
pleting their applications at the
army recruiting office on tho second
floor of the postoffice budding in
Eugene, or in the office of Miss
Grace Norton in the Hampton building.
