DROPS PERJURY CHARGE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY WILL NOT
PRESS CASE AGAINST SMITH
Latter's Attorney Holds That Matter
Is 1nconsequential in View of
Verdict in Recent Trial.

Richard HI. Smith has the distinction of
having married two women, without the
formality &C divorce, and yet without
violating law. At trial last month he
was acquitted of a charge of bigamy
because the government could not prove
that he had heard from his first wife
within five years of the second ceremony.
Assistant United States Attorney Tur-
ner being unwilling to let Smith go at
that time, preferred charge of perjury
against him and he was committed to
await action by the grand jury. The per-
jury charge grew out of the statement
on the marriage license record for the
second venture that Smith had never
before been married.
Attorney M. E. O'Brien yesterday pre-
vailed on United States Attorney Wilson
to drop the perjury charge when it was
riage had become inconsequential by rea-
was justified in thinking his first wife
dead.
Smiths detention in Jail arose from his
love of the name Merson. In 1893 he mar
ried Mary MerSOn and after nine years
a separation took place. Not hearing
from her for five years he met her first
cousin, also named Merson. and fell In
love with her. On his second honeymoon
his first wife heard of the remarriage
and complained to the police.

the United States is graded and sold are
being sent out by the Department of Ag-

cial committee of men familiar with the
conditions of the trade and selected by
the Secretary of Agriculture not only be-
cause of their technical skill and stand
ing in the business world, but because
of their exceptionally high personal char
acteristics. The reason that so much
care was taken in this selection was be-
cause there is only microscopic diff
ference in the variation of cotton from
grade to grade, and while there is
very small actual advance in price from
grade to grade, the aggregate of the cot
ton crop last year was $S50,OOO,0OO. so

FOR BOY IMMIGRATION.
New Zealand Parliament Discusses
Getting Labor From England.

Foreign Correspondence OF Inc star.
WELLINGTON, n. L., July IA, 1910.
A discussion has taken place in parlia-
ment regarding boy immigration from
England. The system was opposed by
the labor members, who argued that the
government had no right to take action
which was favorable to employers and
detrimental to the workers. The premier
replied, stating that there was a scarcity
of boy labor. botn for farming and for
government departments.
Thomas Mackenzie, minister of agricul-
ture, in a vigorous speech, defended the
principle. Apart from the New Zealand
point of view, he said, they should con-
slider it's imperial aspect Instead of al
lowing Great Britain's best emigrants to
go to foreign countries they should unite
with the motherland in inducing the sur
plus youths to fill the empty spaces over
seas. Not only would they thus provide
labor for the development of the agri-
cultural industry. but they would assist
in holding the empire together Another
important point was that every emigrant
10 New Zealand meant $50 worth of
trade to Great Britain, whereas, if set
tied i'm America, such emigrant repre-
scented only $1.20 worth Of trade

PRINCE QUITS RE|CHSTAG
RESIGNS THE OFFICE OF SEC
OND VICE PRESIDENT.
Withdrawal of Member of House
Of Hohenlohe-L angenburg
Causes Surprise.
,reipn Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
BERLIN July IA, 1910.
The Hereditary Prince of Hohenlohe-
Langenburg has resigned his Office as sec
ond vice-president of the reichstag. The
news has caused CONSERVATION in political
circles here.
The prince, who is an independent
member of the imperial or free conserva-
tive party for Gotha, was elected vice
president last year during the struggle
over financial reform" He accepted Of
flee, believing. that by so doing he was
giving a unity of purpose TO the presl-
dency and contributing to the Sol1d1nca-
ton of the bloc. Owing, however, to re-
cent political events, especially recent by
elections in which the bloc oppears to be
seriously imperiled by the action of the
national liberals. the prince believes ms
position untenable, and that the prospect
of holding together the bloc no longer
exists.
Partly Due to Encyclical.
Apart from this purely political con-
sideration the prince has been compelled
to take his present step by the contents
and the effects of the recent Borromeo
encyclical, which make it impossible for
him to hold the position of vice president
if he is also to abide by the principles
which have hitherto inspired his public
life.
This probably means that the prince
declines to strengthen by his association
the clerical conservative union, which
still holds together, despite the support
of the encyclical by the clericals.
There is little doubt that the princes
resignation will have far-reaching conse-
ouences. as it is serious blow at the
integrity of the existing majority in the
reichstag.
Prince Hohenlohe married a daughter
of the late Duke of Saxe-Coburg and
Gotha Duke of Ednburgh), and is, there
fore. by marriage, a cousin of King
George of England. He acted as regent
of the duchy from 1900 to 1905.
On account of recent dismissals of high
fI1nctionaries and voluntary designations
Of others. 1t appears that serious crisis
i'm the government is impending.
