Report That King George Has a
LEFT Handed Family Re-
yiyed in England
ESPECIAL Gable 10 The Call

LONDON, June o5.-Many people still
believe the story that King George
early in life contracted a lnorganatic
marriage, and that he, has ia left
handed family living.
When the emergency bill was being
discussed in the house of commons
the other day the members held their
breath in amazement at IMttreu's ut
teranees. He is the liberal member
from the Tavistock division of Devon
and is son of one of the older fam
lilies in England. His ancestors were
members Of the Witena gemote. the
most ancient legislative assembly in
Britain.
Lutrell pointedly objected to clause
in the bill which provided that if the
heir apparent married without the re-
gents consent the marriage should be
null and void.
Does not this provision set up a
direct temptation to enter into a mar
riage, knowing that it can be set aside
lightly afterward?" Luttrell asked the
astonished house. Such law would
be very severe on any poor girl who
might fall in love with her sovereign.
She would be punished while he would
go scot free.
No other member followed Luttrell
along this line. He explained after
ward that he spoke on general prin-
ciples without any reference to King
George.
1t is understood that the king has
directed Premier Asquith to make some
sort of a statement when the regency
bill is next before the house positively
denying the story of his early secret
marriage. But Asquith is unwilling
to drag the subject into discussion, the
more SO because King Edward solemnly
denied that George ever married NOR
ganatically, and SO did the archbishop
of Canterbury and more recently Dean
Wakefield of Norwich. There are a
great many persons who do not credit
either denial

GRANDMOTHER KEEPS
GIRL LSaFROM COURT
Common" Blood Not Permitted
to MinpIe With Blue

LONDON, June 25.--Iris and Daphne
Fitzgeorge, granddaughters of the Sec
ond duke of Cambridge, have royal
blood in their veins, are talented, at
tractive, respected. are cousins and
queen yet they have no standing at
the court of st. James. and can. not
even sit at table at any state function.
Their father was Colonel George
William August Fitzgeorge. eldest son
of the second duke of Cambridge. and
for quarter of a century a member
gof his staff while the duke was at the
head of the British army Their
grandfather prevented their inheriting
titles by selecting a eommoner for
their grandmother. and their father
was overlooked when King Edward
knighted his two younger Brothers
chiefly, it was said, because of debt
making propensities, the colonel hav-
ing once gone through bankruptcy
owing s1.000,000, which the duke
helped him pay, in part at least.
The young women are not strangers
to high society. which admires them
greatly in amateur theatricals. for
which they seem to have inherited
great talent. Fancy dancing is their
chief accomplishment, and they are ex-
cellent singers.
When Lady Adolphus Fitzgeorge
presented "The Little Maids" at the
Court theater not long ago to help one
of her pet charities, the Fitzgeorge
sisters did some exceedingly clever
dancing.

IRELAND PROTESTS
AGAINST KINGS OATH
Modification of Declaration Is
Earnestly Sought

DUBLIN June 25.-Ireland is still
moving for a modification of the kings
oath. A special meeting of the Dublin
corporate was held to pass a resolu-
tion demanding that the words which
are regarded as offensive by Roman
Catholics should be deieted from the
declaration.
Six of the unionist members had
signed communication. which had
been forwarded TO the lord mayor stat
ing that, as the resolution to be pro-
posed practically advocated the en-
tire abolition of the declaration, they
would. If they attended, have to speak
and vote against the resolution. They
had. therefore, decided to abstain from
attending the meeting, as they consid-
cred such action the most dignified
manner of entering their protest against
the resolution.
The lord mayor, in proposing the
resolution said that he thought the
protestant members of the council
might have attended and co-operated
with their colleagues in having the
declsra ton removed from the statute
hook. He thought the time had come
when Irishmen OF all creeds and classes
should cooperate to break down the
barriers of former days now that a
more liberal age had set in.

but II sometimes gives a certain me-
chanical impression, as though you were
listening TO gramophone rather than
a man. On the other hand, while AS
quith therefore is liable to lack
anlia bility of speech and pliancy of
opinion intellectually, it is said by those
who have watched him closely that the
firmness and ruggedness of speech are
not backed by a really firm will or
tenacious purpose. Asquith, unlike
George, can be tired out or talked out
or coaxed out of the purpose with
which he starts.
BALFOUR AN ENIGMA
Finally, Balfour is a combination of
the qualities of the other two men; and
intellectually is perhaps better equipped
than either OF them for the work of
negotiator. 1t is, indeed, the dread OF
Balfour which accounts partly for the
dim apprehensions of the liberals that
the conference may end in a liberal de-
feat. AS. he is physically, so is Bal
four mentally.
1t was not until he became chief
secretary for Ireland and showed inn
mense and indeed iron resolution in
fighting a serious and violent movement
in Ireland that the people began to take
him seriously, or regarded him as any
thing but a willowy trif1er who played
with politics as he might with a lady's
fan.
Courteous, cultured. with something
of the grand manner of the aristocrat
and the scholar, Balfour is personally
popular, but his slimness, his adroit-
ness, his inexhaustible power of es-
Gaping from the tightest corner at the
hottest pursuit, makes him a dread;
and many liberals look with appfehen-
sion on an encounter between him and
even such brilliant leaders of their own
sides as -Asquith and Lloyd-George.

Moving Pictures of Crime
Pass from the City to
the Country.

Although the agitation against present
ing moving pictures of crime to the
view OF children has had some. effect on
the nickelodeons in the city, the small
towns of the state are not so fortunate.
Pictures discarded here are often taken
through the country, where the in
frequency of moving pictures shows as
sures immunity from interference and
good patronage, provided the exhibition
is not flagrant offense against decency.
Little children go to such shows, and
for days afterwards they stalk excitedly
of the thefts and murders that were i'm
pressed upon the minds by an invention
which, when properly used, is a great
aid to the work of the schools.
A clever San Francisco woman thus
speaks of the evil of such exhibitions
" A set of pictures showing a criminal
act has the same effect as a cheap novel
dealing with that class of stories. The
impression created is perhaps deeper
because of the realistic manner in which
it is presented. Scenes of hold-up
murders, and crimes generally, and
those pictures which depict the vicious
forms of life are undesirable to haunt
before the eyes and minds of children.
The manufacturers are the ones respon-
sible for the class of pictures shown
more than the operators of shows.
To what lengths the manufacturers
will 60 was made plain the other day
when the French government seized
films reproducing the official gullotin-
ing of the murderer of a child. AS
France makes most of the moving
pictures used by the nickelodeonS of the
United States that seizure prevented a
ghastly addition to the supply of
"shoCkerS. y
Among other pictures that should be
suppressed are those in which the
domestic virtures are derided Other
wise the moral teachings of the home
and the schools will to a great extent be
offset by the nickelodeons. The surest
way to bring about the necessary reform
is for parents, by withdrawing the patro-
mage of their families, to make often
sive moving picture shows Improbable.
