Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 23.-Mrs. Benja- min Harrison, widow of ex-President Harrison, was asked tonight if she had requested that the bill to grant her an annual pension of S5.0O0 not be presented. She said:
 q have made no such request at any time. I have supposed that Congress would accord the same recognition of eX- President Harrison's services by grant ing to his widow a pension as have been granted to those of other Presidents. My desire to give my daughter the same ad- vantages she would have enjoyed had her father lived is my chief thought in the matter"
 Mrs. Harrison was asked if 1t were true as has been printed that she Is now en- toying an income of $100Oo a year. She expressed surprise that such statement should have been published, saying her income was nothing approaching that amount

All the Administrations Attention
 Will Not Be Devoted to It,

New York. Jan. 23.-Mayor Low today made public his reply to a letter recent Iy addressed to him by the Society for the Prevention of Crime. He expressed his attitude on the excise question as fol- lows:
 The attitude of this administration to- wards the excise law can be clearly de- fined It will continue to enforce the ex- else law as one of the general lays which it is called upon to-enforce in the best manner practicable with the means at its disposal. but it will not concen- trate the entire police force on this one law. and let all other laws go by the board. It will also do everything it can to break up the bribery and corruption of which the excise law has been so long the fruitful parent.'
