To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I read with interest in Wednesdays
Star Mr.. William e. Curtis letter from
Cairo, Egypt, headed Visit to the Sphinx
Mystery of the Great Relic Revealed"
&c. Mr.. Curtis states that 'the discovery
was largely due to Col. Ram, an Ameri-
can scholar, who has been engaged for
several years in excavations there" Mr..
Curtis is mistaken in the name of this
American. The American who made these
excavations and discoveries is Col. George
E. Raum of San Francisco. l call atten-
ton to this matter knowing that Mr.. Cur
tbs and The Star wish to be accurate in
their statements. GREEN b. RAUM.

Court by Mrs. Berthe Maillet she states
that had the brokerage firm of Gurley &
johnson carried out her orders to sell GER

that the defendants failed to carry out their
contract ana to make sale of the stocks
purchased for her account, and that she
has received from them only Fort Wayne
bond worth $1,000 and she therefore sues
for the alleged balance of $S,7S4.59
