Misquoting and Memory
Slip Is Cause of Error

In commenting on famous legal
cases in which the late General
John c. Gown participated, The
Bee, last Saturday, quoted Mayor
Smith to the effect that one of these
cases was that in which a son OF
P. T. Her was charged with the
accidental shooting ii his wife.
Oh course, this was an error, as
the son of P. Z. Ier has never
been implicated in anything OF the
sort.
The mistake occurred" said
Mayor Smith, partly through my
being misquoted and partly through
the fault of my own memory.
Il think | said this case had to
do with a son-in-laH of Mr.. Her
That was not correct. 1t was the
case of John w. Lauer who had
married a distant relative of Mr.
Her.
Mr.. Lauer was acquitted at his
second trial. He proved that he had
shot his wife accidentally. 1t seems
she arose during the night. While
she was moving about the room,
her husband awoke, 'ho ught she was

Paris, Dec. 24.-Paul N. Milukoff,
former Russian foreign minister,
who was accused last July OF Ger
manophile leanings, has been obliged
to leave Paris, according to the
Matin. His presence here was be-
lieved TO be unnecessary.
Professor Milukoff obtained a
passport<for France at Constanti-

saws. He had been in Paris four
days.
Prince Georges voff and Vladi-
mir \. Kokovsoff, both former Rus
sian premiers. are among the prom
inent Russians who have arrived IN
Paris to assist the movement OF uni
flying Russia and restoring order
there with entente aid. The Rus
slams here, representing many par
ties, have apparently recol, lied their
political differences and are working
toward a common end.
