ONCE MORE THE HOUSE INSISTS ON ECONOMY
IN PENSIONS.
Washington Feb 19-The House of Representa-
tives to-day again called halt In the matter Oh
granting big pensions 10 the widows OF general OIL
GERS who served during the war The case
under consideration was that OF the widow OF
Rrevet Major-General Joseph p. Carr. The Senate
passed bill making the rate Of pension so
month; the House. following u rule which II re-
Gently established and which II has adhered 10 IN
most cases, reduced the rate 10 800 month. Inc
bill was sent 10 a conference committee. ana 'he
House conferrees yielded and reported In favor OF
the higher rate. This report was rejected by vote
of 100 to A. and the bill was sent back to confer
ence with instructions to the House conferrees 70
insist on the lower rate.
That the case was a meritorious one so far as the
services rendered by General Carr were concerned
was conceded by everybody, and the fact that MS
aged widow Is In needy circumstances was not DE-
MED. 1t was urged however. that the widows OF a
number of general officers whose services TO their
country were not less distinguished or valuable
than General Carr's had been pcnsioned by special
acts at the rate of so a month; that IL General
Carr had been killed in battle his widow would
have been entitled to pension OF only $50
