Republican A. p. Leased WlreJ

NEW YORK, May 23.-Tho Assoc iatcd Press today sent to Senator Atlee Pomerene chairman of the committee on privileges and elections. which has under investigation the charge that the speech of Senator LaFolletto at St. Paul last year was seditious and disloyal. the following telegram:
 The Associated Press learned for the first time on May Fist that the accuracy of its account of Senator LaFolletto's speech in St. Paul on september 20 last, was challenged Thorough investigation was made i'm mediately, convincing us that we dis rihutcd inaccurately one important phrase to which attention has been directed by the senator's counsel.
 No Reporter at Convention
 The Associated Press did not have g staff reporter at the convention addressed by tho senator, and de- pended upon the report received by tho St, Paul Pioneer Press. Our St Paul editor obtained a duplicate copy of the account written by a reporter for that paper, and because of the latcncss of the hour, transmitted 1t Co our members without waiting for it Co be edited or revised by the writer. One report on September goth carried quotations attributed to senator LaFollotte as follows:
 "I wasn't in favor of beginning this war. We had no grievance. The German government had interfered with our rights to travel on the high scas-as passengers on the intuition ships of Great Britain.
 fh0aa xtsbfaI Insignificant, considering the rights and consequences involved, we went to war. We had a right to ship munitions. but l was not in favor of
 Not Written by Editor
 "The foregoing quotations preceded by other quoted paragraphs, were taken from the reporters account in tho manner stated. They were not written by our editor and were not available to him until nearly a. m., very late for morning papers. It + improbable that the reporter made a stenographic report. The quoted matter was not read as carefully as should it have been or otherwise the conflicting word no would have been seen, The Pioneer Press, from which lur story was taken, quoted Senator LaFollettc as saying: We have grIev- luces.'
 Associated Press Regrets Error
 We cannot account for the dis parity in any other way than stated lt is the recollection of the editor who filed the story that Senator La Toilette in effect said: We had a grievance, but it was not sufficient 70 justify a declaration of war
 The error was regrettable and The Associated Press seizes the first op- portunity to do justice to Senator LaF'ollette.

 WAUKESHA, Wis, May 23.-With two jurors and many spectators in tears, Grace Lusk brought to dra- matic conclusion late today her own story of her life almost up to the slay- ing of Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts for which she is now on trial.
 Swaying in the witness chair at times as if on the verge of collapse, often lowering her voice until it was almost inaudible, she denied that she had ever pursued Dr. David Roberts and charged that he, first appealing for her help in the preparation of a book, finally won her sympathy by telling of his unhappy home life. After describing many meetings in Chicago and other places during two years, Miss Lusk told of arranging a conference with Dr. Rob- erts in a Milwaukee hotel in May, 1917, about a month before the tragedy. It was to this meeting which she carried the pistol with which she later shot Mrs. Roberts
 Realizes Her Error
 'I had decided that the situation had to be strengthened out,' she testified, 'and that if Dr. Roberts did not care for me. I would take my own life. l told him how sincere I had been in my affection. How I would never have allowed it to start if he had not as- sured me that Mrs. Roberts did not care for him. Things now were beyond my control My reputation was gone and my life ruined. Mrs. Roberts also was hopelessly wronged. If this had been game on his part, and if I had been so simple as not to have under- stood it, would take the consequences
 Man Backs Down
 Then he said he cared ten thousand times more for me. I asked him to tell her. He said it was impossible. again asked him if he cared for me. He assured me that he did. I then took the pistol, made him put his right hand on the Bible and asked him to swear that he would go home and tell the truth. He said that it was impossible at that time. I said I would give him until the fifteenth of June and he swore that he would tell Mrs. Roberts that we cared for each other. I told him to ask for his freedom and he said Do you think that will be necessary If tell the truth?' Then I put down the gun and told him that he need not tel her if he did not want to He said
