BOLO PASHA BRIBED
NO CITIZENS OF U. S.
officials Deny Publishers Got "Slush
Fund"

New York. Oct 4.-Direct and I'M
qualified reputation came from the
lips OF Attorney General Merton Lewis
tonight OF insinuation that some OF
the "slush fund" of many millions
of dollars which Bolo Pesha got from
the German foreign Office went TO
corrupt one or more American pub
fishers.
His denial was a clear-cut repudia-
ton, summed up in an emphatic no
of all yelled implications of William
Randolph Hearst. implications printed
in Some of today's morning news
papers on the strength OF vague ref
eTences and omissions on the part of
the Attorney General in his talk 10
newspaper men last night.
Even more definite denial was made
by Mr.. Lewis's right hand man.
Alfred l.. Becker. deputy attorney
general. who stated fatty that no
American citizen figured in the case.

MILITRY INSURANCE
BILL PASSES SENATE
Amendment Increases Pensions of
Widows of Former Wars.

By unanimous vote of seventy-one
to none, the bill to insure the lives
OF American soldiers and sailors was
passed last night by the Senate.
An important amendment increases
10 SIS the pensions of all civil war.
Spanish-American war and Philip
pine Instruction widows. This in
crease will cost the government 49,
800. 900. Four thousand Spanish war
widows will get an increase of SIS
monthly, and 10000 civil war widows
will get an increase OF s. monthly.
The change was made because
widows of fighting men killed in the
present war will receive SIS monthly,
and 1t was the sentiment of the Sem
ate that the wives of soldiers in for
mer wars should not be paid less. The
House has yet to act upon this change
and must do so when the conference
report is presented. Senator Smoot.
of Utah. was responsible for the
amendment which was passed once
by vote of fifty-three TO thirty-two,
and again by th!rty-seyen to thirty
three.
The bill carries 10000 for fami-
lies benefits. SIS, 900 for military and
naval insurance and 81. lJO. COO for com
pensation for death and disability.
No estimate OF the cost is possible
because no one can tell what the
casualties and injuries will be. How
ever. the bill is generally supposed
to cost 1880 eco.
