That the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to Arthur E. Collins, Casper, Wyoming, the sum of $8,320. The payment of such sum shall be in full settlement of all claims of Arthur E.

It has been held by the United States District Court for the District of Kansas that this claim is not cognizable under the Tort

Any person violating the provisions of this Act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $1,000.
