MRS. BENJAMIN HARRISON SAYS
SHE EXPECTS TO BE PENSIONED

Indianapolis, Ind. Jan. 23.-Friends
of Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, widow of
ex-President Harrison. have had their
attention called to statements pub
lished in several papers to the effect
that she has asked those in charge of
the movement to grant her a pension
not to present the bill to congress.
This is incorrect, as stated by them
They say Mrs. Harrison has at no time
made any objection to the presentation
of such a bill and still believes the
matter can with propriety be presented
to congress, inasmuch as the surviving
widows of other ex-presidents have
been recipients of the same official
recognition by congress. Mrs. Harri-
son was asked tonight if she had re-
quested that the bill be not presented.
She said:
INC, I have made no such request at
any time, l have supposed that con-

gress would accord the same recogni-
ton of ex-President Harrison's services
by granting to his widow a pension as
have been granted to those of other
presidents. My desire to give nv
daughter the same advantages she
would have enjoyed had her father
llVed is my chief thought in the mat
ter"
Mrs. Harrison was asked if it were
true, as printed. that she is now en-
Joying an income of $4,000 a year. She
expressed surprise that such a state
ment should have been published, say
ing her income was nothing approach
ing that amount.
The movement for the presentation
of pension bill for Mrs Harrison is
IN the hands of Senator Fairbanks and
Mrs. Harrison's intimate friends here
will urge that congress be given the
opportunity to take action on the bill
