TUESDAY, MAY, 81, 1912.
THE MAYOR WAS MISQUoTED.

Just how it happened-by what
peculiar mental process a Herald re-
porter was impelied to write the
word worse" when what he meant
to write was "better''-The Herald
does not undertake to explain. That
the reporter did make such a mistake
Is a fact. In reporting the remarks
of Mayor Cole in regard to the visit
OF himself and a committee of citi-
zens to the slaughterhouse, for the
purpose of ascertaining whether the
condition of that institution had
been correctly described by the
chairman of the sanitary committee,
the reporter in last Saturdays Her
aid quoted the mayor as saying that
he had found conditions at the
slaughterhouse infinitely worse
than depicted.
Now, what the mayor actually
said was just the contrary-that he
found conditions at the slaughter
house far better than described by
the chairman of the sanitary COM
mittee. The copy laid on the edi-
tors desk Friday night, however,
quoted him as saying that he had
found it infinitely worse" and so
on Saturday morning the mayor was
misquoted in the Herald.
The editor, struck with the ap-
parent candor of the mayor. COM
mented upon the matter in the edi-
torial columns, at the same time
commencing him for his intention,
expressed in the same interview to
see that conditions were remedied
at the slaughterhouse as soon as pos
sible. " AZ - "
Naturally the mayor was surprised
and indignant, when he saw how he
had been misquoted in Saturdays
Herald. The reporter who was re-
sponsible for the bull" could hard
ly believe his own eyes, until he
hunted up the copy and saw what he
had unwittingly written. He at
once sought the mayor and en-
deavored to explain. That official,
however, was exceedingly skeptical,
though he finally appeared to ac-
cept the statement of the young man.
The reporter offered on behalf of
The Herald to publish any statement
the mayor might wish to make in re-
gard to the matter.
No statement has been submitted
by the mayor, however, and hence
The Herald publishes the foregoing
explanation of the peculiar incident.
We regret very much that the mis-
take occurred, and gladly publish
the correction.

MISS ROSA FABIAN TO
 PLAY WITH MRS. BOND

Miss Rosa Fabian, the talented young Birmingham violinist, who is studying with Henry Shradick this winter in New York, is achieving considerable success. It will be remembered that she left here in January of last year to enter upon the study of the violin in New York to be followed later with further study in Eu- rope. Since leaving here she has appeared in a number of concerts and recitals at the American Institute of Applied Music, where she is a student and also in other places. She will leave New York in a few days to tour for several months, eX- pecting to give a recital in her home city at some time in the early spring: After tllat she will probably enjoy the lengthy period of rest which Professor Shradlck advises before going to Europe.
 Miss Fabian will appear in a joint re- cital February 8 in Grand Rapids with Carrie Jacobs Bond This charming com poser and singer was heard several years ago in Birmingham, appearing under de- lightful auspices as the guest of Mrs. J. A. Rountree, who gave a large after noon musicale in her honor.
 The lovers of true art in Birmingham are always glad to know of the success of any ambitious student. It is particularly pleasant to learn of the success of one of her own people. Miss Fabian is mak- ing a success as the result Of faithful work and preserving efforts.

MISS MONTE DONICO
 WEDS A BOSTONIAN

Birmingham people will be interested to
 know of the marriage of Miss Allie
 Monte Donico of Memphis and Mir Vim cent Sargent Lawrence of Boston. The event occurred yesterday at the home of the brides mother in Memphis. Miss Monte Donico was a great favorite so- cially in Birmingham. She visited Mrs. Alexander Maben Hobson number of times and was also at intervals the guest of the late Mrs. Priestly Toulmin. Her belleship in Birmingham was shared with Miss Jennie Mobley of Atlanta, accom- panied by whom she visited Mrs. Hobson and with whom she shared a number af
 brilliant Inequalities. The last visit was
 very quiet one, however, owing to the
 death almost two years ago of Miss
 Monte Donico's father, and it was also
 owing to this fact that her marriage yes-
 terday was quiet, her house being yet in
 mourning.
 MT. Lawrence is a member of distin-
 euished Boston family and is successful playwright The charming woman whom
 he has won to be his bride will grace the position of wife 10 man of letters, for she is intellectual, witty and clever,
