NOBLE MARQUIS AND AMERICANAMBASSADOR'S NEAR- QUARREL

(By United Press Leased Wire

ROME, April 7?John G. A.Lei simian and the Marquis de Val-deterazo, ambassadors at Rome, re-spectively, from the United Statesand Spain, have had a "near quar-rel." At least the marquis has hadone. There is no direct evidencethat Mr. I.eisimian holds the sameview. The information all comesfrom the marquis. Mr. Irishmanis doing no talking. Possibly he isnot aware that any quarrel occur-red.

The story, as circulated in diplo-matic circles in Rome, runs thus:

The marquis came here only re-cently. He presented his creden-tials to King Victor Emmanuel.Then, in accordance with customhere, he sent a secretary to eachof the other ambassadors to in-quire when he might make his offi-cial calls upon (hem. The ambassa-dors all replied promptly with oneexception?Ambassador Leishman.

The marquis considered this ex-tremely abrupt. The hour was alsC,very early for official visits it*Rome. Nevertheless, the marquUcalled. The usual compliments andcommonplaces were exchanged.Then the marquis remarked, "I be-gan to fear I would not be permit-ted the honor of visiting your ex-cellency."

"Oh," replied Ambassador Leish-man with a bored air?this, at least,is the way the marquis tells it?"these official introductory visitshave no importance at all. They'remerely relics of antique, absurdcustoms."

The marquis left about two aT*' '

The marquis accordingly wrote,repeating his inquiry. No answer.The marquis called at all the otherembassies, Still no answer fromAmbassador Leishman. This madethe marquis indignant.
