"Even the Major," said his honor smiling, "Is sometimes obliged to suffer from quotation mnrks placed In print on words not uttered by him." When Director Caven was informed of Senntor I'pnrose's objpctlons to the statement Issued by him last Satur day, he said : "I did not use 'quotes' when speak ing of whnt the senator had told me.
