The Russian millionaire baron, who
was arrested In Mexico for violation Of
the quarantine laws while sailing the
gulf In his private yacht and who has
been released nj the request of the Rus
sian minister. will now sue the Mexican
government for 100000 for injury to hls
feelings. 1t Is not likely that any court
on earth would decide that the baron's
feelings for the short space OF time he
was under arrest was damaged to that
amount. Perhaps the baron bases his
estimate on the size Of his fortune.
