IV. CLAIMS AGAINST THE FUND, THEIR AMOUNT, AND NOTIFICATION THEREON.

§ 20. The same widows and orphans of persons deceased as members of the auxiliary fund to whom the general widows and orphans' fund of the university owes pension shall also have claim to pension against the auxiliary fund.

The claims shall begin on the same day and shall continue, respectively, as long as the corresponding claims of the same persons against the general widows and orphans' fund (see statutes of the same, §§ 11 and 13).

The first installment of the widows and orphans' pensions shall not be due until June 1, 1893.

§ 21. All the widows of ordinary professors shall have claim to equal pensions. The same shall apply, respectively, to the widows of extraordinary professors. The pension for the widow of an ordinary professor shall in its amount bear to that of the widow of an extraordinary professor the ratio of 3:2.

§ 22. The numerical amount of these pensions shall be determined by the executive committee every five years on the basis of the revision of the auxiliary fund and renewed computation of the normal amount of pension for the fund. The decision, if it increases or reduces the former amount of the claims, shall be made known to those entitled to payment.

§ 23. The amount of the pension is normal if it is not above nor below the permanent solvency of the fund; if, therefore, in view of the subsequently increasing number of claimants, it can not be increased, and in spite of this increase in the number of claimants will not have to be reduced later on.

§ 24. All persons entitled to pension will be compelled to accept a reduction if the next revision shows that the normal amount had heretofore been taken too high.

§ 25. Provisionally, and until the first revision of the fund, the pension of the widow of an ordinary professor shall be fixed at 300 marks, that of the widow of an extraordinary professor at 200 marks.

§ 26. Each legitimate or legitimized child, under 18 years, of a deceased member, shall receive two-fifths of the statutory widow's pension (see above, §§ 21, 22, 25).

The academic senate may, on motion of the mother or of the guardian, extend, in case of need, the orphan's pension of the son of a deceased member until the completion of the twenty-first year of life.

Grandchildren and illegitimate, adopted, and stepchildren shall receive no

pensions.

§ 27. Each legitimate or legitimized daughter, over 18 years old, of a deceased member shall receive, as long as she is unmarried and her mother is still living, three-fifths of the statutory widow's pension; after her mother's death, fivefifths. Just as much shall be paid to a legitimate or legitimized son, over 18 years old, of a deceased member who (the son) is permanently unable to earn a living.

These payments shall begin in all cases only after extinction of the claim of the respective child to the orphan's pension (see above, § 2, No. 2).

The payment of these pensions for children over 18 years old shall, however, begin only when the fund shall have accumulated a capital of 30,000 marks, unless gifts shall have been made previously for this purpose.

§ 28. Claims to widows and orphans' pensions may be withdrawn in favor of the fund, but not in favor of other persons entitled to pension.

§ 29. For single benefits to relatives of deceased sick members, which relatives may be in condition of acute need caused by such death or sickness, not more than 1,500 marks shall be used annually.

Only those relatives shall have claim to such benefits to whom the deceased or sick member shall have been provider and who at the same time belonged to his family.

§ 30. The single benefit granted to the family of a member in such necessity shall not exceed 500 marks.

Before granting the benefit, the executive committee shall carefully investigate whether actual sudden necessity exists.

This benefit shall not become a simple contribution to the expenses of burial and sickness.

§ 31. A repetition of such benefit in the following business year shall be admissible only in cases of extreme necessity; a second repetition, however, is absolutely prohibited.

§ 32. The executive committee shall be notified in writing of all claims on the auxiliary fund within three months after their origin. Without such notice the fund shall pay neither pension nor benefit, and in the event of belated notice the pension shall begin only with the day of notice.

V. AMENDMENTS OF THE STATUTES.

§ 33. These statutes can be amended only by resolution of the academic senate and with the approval of the ministry of cultus and public instruction.

The executive committee of the auxiliary fund shall be competent to move amendments with the senate. It shall be heard before decision on the part of the senate, in case the motion for amendment of the statutes was made by a member of the senate itself.

VI. DAY WHEN THESE STATUTES SHALL TAKE EFFECT.

$ 34. These statutes for the auxiliary and daughters' fund of the University of Leipzig shall take effect on April 1, 1892.

2. THE PENSIONING OF THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS OF THE OFFICIALS AND SUBOFFICIALS.@

A. THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS OF OFFICIALS.

The pensioning of the widows and orphans of officials of the university is regulated by §§ 63 and 64 of the revised statutes for the University of Leipzig. approved under date of April 29, 1892, by the royal ministry of religion and public instruction.

These paragraphs are as follows:

§ 63. The pension of the widow of an official of the university shall be onefifth of the service income on which his own service pension is to be based.

Each legitimate or legitimized orphan of such official shall receive, until the completion of the eighteenth year of life and as long as the mother is living, one-fifth of the widow's pension; after her death, three-tenths.

If the deceased was at the same time professor, his widow and his orphans shall receive only the pension under the revised statutes for the university widows and orphans' fund, unless the pensions claimable on the basis of the salary of the official should be more favorable for them. In the latter event the pensions that would be due from the university widows and orphans' fund shall be paid from this fund, and only the excess from the fund designated under § 64.

These claims to pensions shall begin on the same day as for professors' widows and orphans. (Revised statutes for the general widows and orphans' fund of the University of Leipzig, § 11.)

For the remainder there shall be applied to them §§ 39, 40, 42, 43 (subpars. 4 and 6), 44, 46, and 51 of the law of March 7, 1835, concerning the status of civil state officials; § 1 of the law of April 9, 1872, concerning the amendment of certain legal provisions for the pensions of state officials and their relicts; §§ 36, 48, and 49 of the law of June 13, 1876, concerning certain amendments of the legal provisions for the status of civil state officials.

§ 64. The pensions of §§ 62 and 63 shall be paid by the exchequer of the uni versity (compare, however, § 63, subpar. 3).

The statutory provisions referred to in the above § 63, subparagraph 5, are as follows:

(a) Law concerning the status of civil state officials, March 7, 1835.

§ 39. Support of these relicts from state funds shall not be granted for widows and orphans—

(a) If the state official without service pension has resigned voluntarily or has been discharged or dismissed.

(b) If at the time of his decease he was under investigation for a breach of duty (Vergehen), or if, after his death and before decision has been reached concerning a pension for the relicts, incriminating facts against him are found and he would have been subject in both cases to the loss of his salary or wartegeld or service pension. (c) Because of unworthiness of the relicts, if they themselves have suffered detention in a penitentiary or institution of correction, or have repeatedly suffered punishment by the police for immoral conduct. Investigation and decision in cases (b) and (c) belongs to the appointing authority.

Under $59 of the revised statutes of the University of Leipzig the following are officials (Beamte) of the university: The first librarian and the librarians and custo dians of the university library; further, the secretary of the university and the questor; finally, the organist of the university church.

Under § 66 of the same statutes the following are subofficials of the university: The messengers of the secretary's office, the bedels and the constable, the inspector of the refectory, the forester of the university, and the cantor of the university church.

If the relicts feel that they can not submit to the decision, they may bring suit for pension

(d) If the marriage from which the widow or the children derive their claim was concluded only during the last sickness of the state official. For widows: If at the time of the decease of the official, divorce, annulment, or permanent separation from bed and board had been decreed.

For children: If they were not born legitimately of the first degree. More distant descendants are, therefore, excluded-e. g., grandchildren, etc.; children of a first marriage; adopted; illegitimate children.

Children legitimized by a subsequent marriage shall be treated the same as the legitimately born, if the legitimation or marriage had not been deferred to the last sickness.

The possession of private property or support to be derived by the relicts from other pension institutions or from other state funds shall have no influ

ence.

§ 40. As a gratuity, the widow and children of an official who died while in active service or entitled to wartegeld shall draw, under the limitations of § 39, his salary or wartegeld, as a rule, for a month in addition to the month of death. The government, however, may grant such gratuity for three months if the conditions of the service are such that a transfer to the position can not be accomplished for that time without difficulties and expense for the administration. With officials drawing service pension no gratuity shall be granted.

In so far as the service income consists wholly or in part of incidental and undefined payments, it rests wholly with the judgment of the appointing authority whether it

1. Will leave these to the relicts and, if necessary, arrange at their expense for temporary substitutes or allow the heirs in appropriate cases to continue the service; or

2. Will grant them the entire amount of those emoluments settled upon as salary or appointment, with complete abrogation of the relation. The allowance of an interim salary for the successor in the position of service during the period of gratuity is left to the judgment of the state authority. § 42. Not entitled to pension are the following:

(a) The relicts derived from the marriage contracted by an emerited state official while drawing service pension.

(b) A widow who is by twenty-five years younger than her deceased husband, if he married her after his completed sixty-fifth year of life. This provision, however, shall have no application to such marriages concluded before the publication of this law.

(c) Children who have already completed the eighteenth year of life. (d) The relicts of those pensioned state officials who refuse to submit to the reductions ordered in § 47.

If, however, unmarried daughters or invalid sons of a deceased state official, even after the completed eighteenth year, should be unable to earn a living and without means and also without relatives to afford them support, the state authority may, although wholly on its judgment and without establishing à claim thereto, allow them, even beyond the eighteenth year, suitable support. § 43. If the state official leaves children of successive marriages, the children of the first marriage shall at once receive the three-tenths for each child, even if their stepmother draws a pension.

In cases of very special need of the relicts of a state official, the state government shall have the right to grant a pension greater than the statutory one, which, however, shall not exceed the latter by more than its fourth part. 44. The right to pension shall begin—

(a) If the relicts are entitled to the gratuity payment with the first month after expiration of the gratuity month.

(b) If the deceased himself drew service pension with the month following his death.

§ 46. (A) The widows' and orphans' pension shall cease—

(1) With the death of each participant. The right to an increase on the part of the remaining participants does not exist, excepting the increase of pension for children when their mother dies (§ 43). (2) In consequence of repeated punishment by the police for immoral conduct or in consequence of detention in the penitentiary or in a house of correction. (B) The pension of a widow shall cease especially also with her remarriage and shall not be restored if this marriage should be annulled or wholly dis
