Justice Stafford dismissed a suit for $500,000 damages filed against Senator Couzens of Michigan, by Howe P. Cochran, a resident of Montgomery county, Maryland, and a tax expert. Cochran claimed state ments derogatory to him made by Senator Couzens were nttcred “un- officlally” in the scnate and were not pertinent to anything under consideration at the time.
