ENGLISH ARISTOCRACY
FAILURE OF MOTHERHOOD
AMONG AMERICAN HEIRESSES.
specisl Correspondepce of The Star.

Special Correspondents of The Star.
LONDON. June -. 1905.
The Contemporary Review has COM
menced a peculiar campaign. writer In
that magazine finds that the failure OF
motherhood among American heiresses who
have married titled Englshmen is most
marked. while the influence of colonial
women on English society is not only more
wholesome. but likely to be more perma-
nent. In his opinion. colonial influence In
England Is masculine, vigorous and whole
some. American influence is feminine. friv-
oIous and fieeting.
He offers some striking remarks concern
ing the invasion OF England by American
heiresses.
"Since 1910 thirty (British) peers or eld-
est OF peers have married in the
United States. or these, thirteen have no
children at all. five have no sons. and five
have only one SON. The total number OF
peers children with American mothers Is
thirty of whom eighteen are sons.
During the same period twenty-tnree
peers or eldest sons of peers have married
in the colonies. Four have no children.
seven have one son, eight have two sons.
and two have three sons.
That is to say, though the number of
colonial peeresses is seven less than the
number of American peeresses. they have
nearly twice as many children. and while
six of them have neglected to present their
husbands with heirs, nineteen Americans
are guilty of the same neglect"
Even More Startling.
In the lower ranks of aristocracy the
writer proceeds. the figures are "even more
startling OF Americans who are the
wives of Englishmen with courtesy title
or baronetcy there are forty-four. OF
these. seventeen. nearly one-haif. have
no children, and eight have only one child.
1T therefore comes to this, that since
1910 the number of titled Americans, ex-
elusive of knights wives has risen to
seventy-four of whom thirty are childless.
and eight have only one child"
Moreover, there Is not a single distin-
guished peers son with an American
mother. whereas there are several with
colonial mothers. The writer's figures may
be summarized thus:

Another Police Court Question.

Another case touching the jurisdic-
ton of the Court of the Police JUS
tice, is to be heard by Justice Barbee
on Wednesday, the question involved
being whether the act creating the
court and purporting to give it ex-
elusive jurisdiction of misdemeanors
in the city and township violative of
city ordinances. has the effect of de-
priving the justices of the peace of
jurisdiction 70 hear such cases.
Justices of the Peace are given bv
the Code exclusive jurisdiction of all
criminal matters in which the fine is
not more than fifty dollars and the
imprisonment not more than thirty
days; the new charter of the city of
Raleigh creating the Court of the
Police Justice gives it the exclusive
Jurisdiction of such matters arising in
the city. The conflict raised by this
question will probably go to the high
er courts for determination.

been raised is that of a colored wo-

P. r. Masten. who has charge of the
marketing of the Reynolds product in
the above territory, and who is one
of the most popular statesmen travel
ing Eastern North Carolina.
The fact that these North Carolina
wholesale grocers buy tobacco in car
loads. shows that these are leaders in
their sections. Eastern North Caro-
lima has a right to be proud of the
men who lead i'm it's commercial life.

DEF|ES STATE LAW
Deputy u. S. Marshal
CounseIs Whiskey Frauds
Advice to His Son to Get United States
License, and Risk Being Caught
by State, Ends in Ar

From Harnett county comes the
story of the reckless disregard of the
laws of North Carolina advocated by
United States Deputy Marshal, whose
advice resulted in the arrest of his
son, the careless father failing to come
to his relief when the State court
fined him.
This is the case of a young white
man, Surles by name, who was fined
500 and costs for retailing whiskey
on the edge of the town of Dunn, do
ing this in violation of State laws and
beng led into the act by his father.
Albert Surles, a United States Deputy
Marshal for the Eastern District
of North Carolina.
There were five cases on the docket
at Ellington against young Surles,
these for the illicit retailing of whiskey
in the suburbs of Dunn. 1t was proved
at the trial by number of witnesses
that they bought whiskey freely from
the young man on several occasions.
Young Surles went on the stand in
his own behalf and admitting that he
had violated the law stated that he
was under the impression that theUni-
ted States Government would protect
him, that his father Albert SurleS, a
United States Deputy Marshaf had
advised him to take out government
license saying IF 1t was me l would
run the risk after having a govern
ment license
Surles ran his illicit "whiskey tap"
for some two or three months, but
finally his whiskey selling was caught
up with He heard of warrants out
and fled, but his clerk, Reubin Jones
was indicated and arrested, submitting
to the charge of selling whiskey with
out license at previous term. On
the stand he testified that Albert
Surles, the United States Deputy Mar
shall had told him that as he was a
"hirling at the whiSkey tap the law
would not hurt him, this advice prov
ing reckless, as the law did him up.
The trial of young Surles resulted IN
a verdict against him OF $lOO ana
costs He was defended by Hon. Dan
Hugh Mclean who in a strong speech
in his behalf denounced Albert SurleS,
the father of the prisoner, for MS
failure to be present to aid ms son,
or to contribute one cent towards pay
ing his fine.
Here it is plainly shown the utter
disregard and disrespect for the laws
of North Carolina shown by Unlted
States Deputy Marshal, though he
should have known that the pos
session OF Onlteu STATES N'oNNl
license to sell whiskey in prohibitiVe
territory is prima facie evidence ct
violating the State law as to the safe
of whiskey. Here is cooperation with
a vengeance in having the law obSerV-
ed. and it is a case of calling for an

Yerkes. Will he do it or will the In
ternal Revenue Department of the
United States get so rank that there
will have to be a chopping off Of

Mr. c. u. Harris appeared for Reddick
There were above seventy-five negroes
in the small room and scores of pick
aninnies excitedly swarmed up the
sides of the court house to peep in the
windows. 1t was a gala day, but bets
were declared off, it being considered
that the issue was a deadfall and the
magistrate the only winner.
