the publisher Of a newspaper in a

newspaper wired back something like
the following,

DEMANDS 100000
IN SUIT FOR LIBEL
Robert LOOnen Also Charges
Abuse of Legal Process.

New York, Dec. 25.-Robert Loonen, OF
Paris. has started 100000 suit for dam
ages against Benjamin p. Ducas for
libel and abuse of legal process, as the
result Of a civil action brought against
Looneu by Ducas last week
Last Tuesday. after returning from
Washington, Loonen heard that Ducas
had obtained an order of arrest in con-
nection with a civil suit that has been
in the courts since November. Mr. L0onen
thereupon went To the sherins Office
and asked II a warrant had been issued
When told that Ii had, he accepted the
service and gave bond for his appearance
in court A friend of his said tonight.
MIR. Loonen was at no time taken into
custody or actually arrested. and was
much chagrined on Wednes-
day morning when some newspapers
printed reports that he had been arrest
ed What angered Mr.. Loouen most,
however. was that the published reports
gave only Ducas' version of the affair,
which contained assertions that Mr.,
Loonen declares are false and hbelous.
Although he has been in this country
for only a year. Mr.. LOOnen has many
friends in this city and Washington. He
has joined a number Of exclusive clubs,
and the publication Of the story referred
to has naturally caused him great
deal of annoyance and trouble. Mr..
L .oonen received many kilograms and let
ters from friends in this country asking
for further details, and has answered as
many Of these as he could ind time 70
attend 10"
William p. Buchler, his attorney, who
represents him in the suit brought by
Mr.. Ducas. has already served the pre-
liminary papers for Mr.. Loonen IN the
latter's suit for 10000 damages.
