Evans Out of the Fight Against Sickles Controversy
Washington June 27 Henry Clay Evans Commissioner of Pensions declines to continue a personal dispute with General Sickles of New York over remarks about a campaign pledge to topple Evans’ administration. Sickles had praised Evans in May then attacked critics, and disagreement over the 1890 pension act retroactivity led Evans to seek Attorney General input. If Sickles had prevailed back pay would have surged by tens of millions, prompting a shift in his view of Evans. Since Evans announced referring the law to Justice, Sickles has not visited Evans in Washington.

Mrs Eyler Denies State Charities Aid Visit At Girls Home
Four members of the State Charities Aid Association seeking an inspection were barred by Mrs. Myrtle B. Eyler the principal of the State Home for Girls in Trenton. Eyler cited instructions from counsel Judge William M. Lanning and the board of trustees to resist jurisdiction by the association. Lanning said he would ask Justice Gummere for a vacating order, arguing the 188 act creating the association grants no control over state institutions. Eyler said individuals would be admitted but not as organization representatives. The visitors left frustrated and awaiting Justice Gummere�s ruling with future action to depend on that decision.
