TELEGRAPH COMPANY
SUED FOR DAMAGES
Right of Company 10 Send Deroga-
tory Messages VIII be Tested In
New York.


New York. May s.-The right of a
telegraph company to transmit mes
sages which might reflect on the
character of person is to be tested
in a damage suit which had been
brought by Mrs. Mary Blair Broltaw,
wife of w. Gould Brokaw against the
Western Union Telegraph company.
The suit for divorce instituted oy
Mrs. Brokaw some time ago contains
sensational allegations concerning the
young millionaire's treatment of her,
both in public and in private. She
now alleges that her husband sent
many messages not only to her but
to her relatives and friends dcroga-
tory to her character.
When the telegraph company was
informed of the suit it dug up from
its files several hundred messages
which had been sent by Mr.. Brokaw.
These kilograms, Mrs. Brokaw con-
tends, constitute libels on her, not
only because of their contents, but
because the company on accepting
them and transmitting their contents
through its agents disseminated the
libel
The telegraph company declared
that it was not worried by the suit
as no one had yet been able to recov-
er on similar allegations.

portunity during the trial to tell the
