Miller Probably Wrote About Confederate Leader. Trenton, Mo., May 6.—Intimate glimpses of Gen. Robert Lee prob ably will be portrayed in a story of the life of Albert P. ivinier, 70, Lee’s cour ier for four years, who died suddenly today in '’olumbia. Mo. Tdrs. Carrol Millerf his daughtor-in- lsw( believes lie left a story of his life among papers in a deposit box in a lo cal hank. Mr. Miller’s father was a major in the war of 1SI2. His grandfather was an officer in George Washington’s army, ills youngest son. Carrol, was an officer in the World War. Entering the Confederate army when he was scarcely more than 15 years old, Mr. Miller served as Lee’s courier until the final surrender at Appomat tox. His parents died when he was a small hoy. He, therefore, was unable ! to obtain much schooling. Neverthe less. he was regarded as one of the best informed men in Trenton. 17c was a successful business man, He owned the Haoket store here. He came i from Virginia, his native state, in 18S0. When he died, Mr. Miller was on ! his way home from Fulton, Mo., where ■ he had visited his son, Albert P. Miller, Jr. | A third so’j, Robert F. Miller, lives in the East. Mr. Miller had married twice. gasped. Then, the broadside: "it’s all a frame-up. I never issued j a prescription for liquor in my life. I haven’t even got a license to issue ! any. I have lived up to every oalli | of my oliice and I’ll mil swerve from I my policy regardless of what people | say. And as far as Jeykll ami Hyde are concerned, well. I am playing ! only one role—enforcing the law. So 1 there.” This statement, ringing with em phasis, was broadcast through the ■ town today in as rapid-fire manner i as the rumors which it "nipped.” It 1 was accepted as “gospel” by every- < body except the bootleggers who have tasted of the mayor’s policy of jus tice. Her friends explained that as a li censed medical practitioner the may or could have had the right to issue I prescriptions (.•ailing for liquor to any ' she might think in need of them. As I lo how urgent the “need” might be, 1 she also had the right to deeide. I But the fact that the mayor had J never taken out a license to issue ‘ passes to the shrine of Bacchus is! proof conclusive that none was ever j isciied. At the “corner drug store,”, the J mayor's record is 100 per cent per j feet. “Never were any booze pro- j scriptions issued here,” the druggist 1 explained. “But—one fellow who asked (he mayor for one thought he got it and came here to have it fill ed. But instead of calling for liquor it read ‘castor oil’.” iiir tiiii + + **4' + 4 > + * THE DECREES OF DAME FASHION + * + 4> + + * + + + * Baris, May 9.—For afternoon par ties the favoribte costume is a silk dress w'ith a cape to match.
