More than 48,000 invalid veterans and sey, many of whom are on the verge have been in- fused to pass the Pension Appropriation bil for this fiscal year. While the House, which opposes the elghteen agencies scattered over the United States, and wants them amalgamated into one in Washington, and the Senate, which upholds the district pension agents, judicially, debate on the ques- tion, hundreds of pleading letters, tele- grams and phone calls are being re- cetved at the New York agency at No. @ Bleecker street, appealing for help from Acting Pension Agent L. 8. Foun- tain. These 4,000 war heroes and widows represent less than one-elghteenth of the pensioners in the United States, and come from territories this slide of Buffalo, in this State, and north of ‘Trenton, in New Jersey. Nearly $9,000,000 is now due to pen- stoners throughout the country. Mr. Fountain, when seen by an Eve- ning World reporter in his office sald the balance on his books w a few cents over $87. The last full pay- ment made in this district agency was last May, the second quarter, for both army and navy. 24,000 SOLDIERS’ WIDOWS AMONG THOSE AFFECTED. In July the appropriation bill came up in Congress. The debate as to the ad-| visability of the agents being located in | different portions of the country, instead of having a single headquarters Washington, was raised with more vigor than in previous years. As before, the House opposed the agencies and the Senate upheld them. A long and bitter debate has ensued. “Of the number of pensioners affect- ed," sald Mr. Fontain to-day, ‘24,000 are veterans and the rest widows. The last of the $8,000,000 voted by the last Congress for this year's pensions in this district, was used up last May, when all the pensions for the Army and Ni were paid. There wag a little balai left over, which was turned into the Pension Department for use last June, when Major-Gen.

Reports from all the agencies received at the bureau tell the same story of no money for the veterans and their dependents on the nation’s pension list. Thig condition is due to the delay’ of Congress in passing the pension ap- Propriation bill, The extension of the old appropriation bill for a fifteen-day period so that one twenty-fourth of last year's appropriation might be used to pay Jess than half of the $15,000,000 due on Aug. 1 has left 200,000 pensioners unpaid at New York, Indianapols, Knoxville, Loulsville, Philadelphia and Topeka. There is no hope for them until Congrmess acts. Acting Pension Agent Fountain at New York reported to-day to Commis- sioner Davenport that the conditions there are very serious, as many army and navy pensioners are destitute and that ‘the withholding of their pension money {s almost criminal.” ‘The funds available to-day are $7.79 at Philadelphia, $97 at Louisville, where $500,000 im due; $87 at New York City, N.
