Governor Miller day corrected the
impression that he believed tine great
masses of the people Of this country do
not understand our institutions'--the
| idea conveyed by quotations in some
morning newspapers from his speech be-
| fore the Queens County Republican Com
mittce last night What the Governor
intended was that there are many
people. particularly foreigners. unac-
ouainted with our institutions and that
they should be told the truth and not
deceived.
He said that all the Newspaper re-
ports quoted him as saving that Ine
great masses OF the people do rot under
stand our institutions or the history OF
our Government"
1T Judge It must have been the mis-
take of some reporter. Certainly we
might despair of free govarnment II
that were true. What I said was that
there were masses Of the isople who
congregate in the cities who we're nnac-
uuainted with our manners. customs
traditions and institutions end thai In
stead of fooling those people and deceiv-
ing them by Misrepresentation and flat-
tering and misleading then by false
promises we ought to tell them the
truth; that patiently and CONSIDERABLY
and understandingly we ought to at
tempt to teach them the benefits Of free
institutions and accustom them to our
manners. Now somebody tr3 Dsposed a
phrase and put in word and made me
say something that is perfectly ridicu-
lous."
Gov. Miller returned to Albany yes
terday after comforting briefly with Re-
publican leaders and without receiving
from CITY Hall an answer to his ques-
ton whether his description Of demo-
gogue fits Mayor Hylan. The Mayor
again assailed the Governor on tram
sit. but made no reference to the Gov

demagogism.
The Governor win go to his summer
home at Lake George, where he Will

though devoting part OF his time to

may receive some delegations at Lake
George in the early autumn.
The Republican leaders and followers
all appear to be taking it for granted
that the Governor will be the party no

has not made an open declaration of
his intentions. The organization man.

Appeals Cour. Rules Attorneys
Aren't Needed 10 Drop Action
and Can't Collect Fees
Special Dispatch 10 The Tribune

BINGHAMTON, n. Y, May 5.-The
Appellate Division to-day handed down
decision Upholding the right Of hus-
band and wife to effect reconciliation
without the aid of attorneys and dig
continue the action OF their own voli-
tion. Anna NJ Conklin eighteen
months ago brought an action against
Horace T. Conklin, millionaire seed
man, Of this city, for an absolute di-
vorce, and employed as her attorneys
the firm OF Hinman, Howard g. Kattell
The firm asked for $4,000 counsel fees,
and this was subsequently, reduced by
the court 10 $4,000. The action was be
gun and evidence taken when, without
the knowledge of the attorneys. MI
and Mrs. Conklin were reconciled and
began living together.
The plaintiffs attorneys thereupon
applied TO the court for an allowance
for services rendered after the recon
clliation had occurred and moneys cX-
pended. The Appellate Division unani-
mously ruled that an attorney OF his
own yolition could no. continue d-
vorce action, saying it was unthinksble
that decree divorcinc husband and
wife should be granted at the instance
Of an attorney.
The majority ~ the court rendered
sn opinion against granting counsel
fees for services following reconclia-
ton, but a minority held that an at
torney should be entitled to expendi-
tures made and services actually rem
dered
