EPEITAIN
Montreal. Quebec. Jan. S.-Major Bittin-
ger, Consul General to- anada for the
Crited States, returned. to-day from a
lengthy visit to his home in Missouri and
several American cities.
When asked about the story that he gave
an interview to a Kansas City newspaper
in which he condemned the food of the
hotels of Montreal and said that he could
not, get a decent meal. Major Bittinger made
a positive denial. He said that in the first
place he was not in Kansas City when the
so-called interview appeared, and in any
case he could not and would not mak use
of such remarks AS those attributed to him.
He sent a denial Immediately to the paper
which published the story.
AS to the yarn that he was about to re-
sign his position in Montreal he could only
say that the first and only news he ever
had of such a thing was a dispatch giving
the rumor and published in a Chicago
newspaper. -t

hens would surround him to eat HIS
food, and woe to the one that came
