Mr. CARMACK, from the Committee -Pensions, submitted the } howiu& 2 Eg ORT. o .qiipany : R. 9824.1 The Committee on P, Oons, Owhom was referred the hill (H. R. 9824) granting a penaiE to William Hayes, have examined the same and report: The report of the Committee on Invalid Pensions of the House of Representatives, hereto appended, is adopted and the passage of the bill is recommended. The House report is as follows: Mr. Hayes, now 64 years of age, was pensioned in February, 1892, under the pro- visions of the act of June 27, 1890, at $8 per month for partial inability to earn a support by manual labor, the result of a gunshot wound of the left shoulder; as late a private in Company E, Fifth United States Volunteer Infantry, in w.ich organization he served from April 21, 1865, to October 11, 1866, when honorAbly discharged. The regiment in which the soldier served was composed of Confederate prisoners of war, the records of the War Department showing that Mr. Hayes was captured while a member of Company K, Forty-eighth Tennessee Infantry, Confederate States army, at Nashville, Tenn., December 16, 1864, and that he enlisted in the United States Army April 21, 1865, while confined at Camp Chase, Ohio. Pension was allowed in 1892 upon the then existing holding of the Interior D upart- ment that a prior Confederate service was no bar to pension under the act of June 27, 1890. The Interior Department having reversed its holding in that regard, his name was dropped from the rolls in October, 1895, upon the ground that his voluntary service in the Confederate army was a bar to pension under the act of June 27, 1890. He applied for restoration to the rolls under the provisions of the joint resolution of July 1, 1902. His claim, however, was rejected in May, 1903, upon the ground that said joint resolution afforded him no relief, for the reason that he did not enlist in the Union Army prior to Janmary 1, 1865, as required by such resolution. Medical and other testimony tled with your committee shows that the soldier is disabled from earning a support by manual labor by reason of a wound of the left shoulder, neuralgia, and general debility; that he has a wife and three children dependent upon him for support; has no real property, and that his personal prop- erty is not worth more than $100 after the payment of his debts. Inasmuch as the soldier rendered eighteen months of service in the Union Army, was honorably discharged, and is now totally disabled and destitute, the relief sought in the bill seems just and proper, and its passage is recommended.
