EDITOR BRANDED FOR
LIBEL ON KING OF ENGLAND
Edward F. Myths, Who Said
George Contracted a Nor
ganatic Marriage
nv Associated Press.)

A8AOCl0Ieu
LONDON. Feb latter brief proceed
ings today a special jury before Lord
Chief Justice Alverstone cleared King
George of imputations against his per-
sonal character by finding Edward F..
Myths guilty OF circulating libel. My
Illus was sentenced to one years Inn
prisonment.
After sentence had been passed, Sir
Rufus read a letter signed by King
George and authorizing the attorney
general to state publicly that the writer
had never been married except to
Queen Mary; had never gone through a
ceremony of marriage except with the
queen: and that he would have attend
ed the proceedings to give evidence to
this effect except for the advices of tho
law officers OF the crown that 1t would
be unconstitutional for him to do so.
Myths was charged with distributing
in England copies of the laboratory a
Paris publication edited by Edward II.
James, and in which II was alleged that
his majesty, while prince of Wales, had
contracted a morganatic marriage with
the eldest daughter of Admiral Sir
Michael Seymour at Malta in 1890.
The crown called the admiral as a
witness and he testified that the daugh-
ter in question, now the wife Of Captain
Napier, of the British army, had never
seen his majesty until 1898, when the
king called upon the witness at Ports
mouth His only other daughter died In
1895 and for three years preceding her
death had been with her father at Malta,
where he was commander In chief of the
Mediterranean squadron.

LOWER BERTH DEMAND
HAS NOT FALLEN OFF

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The reduction in
upper berth rates on Pullman cars which
went into effect today had no marked ef-
feet on the demand for lower berths,
though one railroad reported that dozen
reservations of upper berths for points
on the Pacific coast had been received
from the east.
The new rules make 1t possible for a
person to ride in Pullman car between
Chicago and the Pacific coast for $3.50
less than he used to, providing he takes
an upper berth.
The clerk of the United States circuit
court has received some 1900 letters in
closing receipts for Pullman tickets paid
for the old rates on the lines out Of st.
Paul during the time the interstate COM
'merce commissions rates were enjoined.
The rules provide for a refund of the
difference between the old rates and the
commissions reduced rates If the latters
orders were upheld.
AS they were not upheld but were mod
flied in accordance with the general re-
duction offered by the Pullman company
of a lesser amount. technical question
has arisen as to the amount of the re-
fund.

DEMOCRATS SPLIT OVER
TARIFF COMMISSION BILL
Division Showed That Party
Would Not Follow Clark
Without Caucus

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-The Demo-
Gratis OF the house divided last night on
the bill to create tariff ccommission.
Thirty-three members of the minority
followed Champ Clark and Oscar Under
wood, leaders in voting with the Repub-
leans for the measures. Ninety-one
Democrats, led by Burton Harrison and
Congressman Hardwick. voted against
the bill, which was finally passed by a
vote of 1876 to- SO, es4-f
Congressman Brantley and Howard
were the only Georgians to vote for
the commission. The others stood pat in
opposition TO the board. Mr. Brantley
delivered a strong and forceful argument
in advocacy of the measure, and his
speech was answered by Congressman
Hardwick.
The Significance in last nights divi-
sion amongst the Democrats lies in the
fact that Champ Clark and, Oscar I'm
derwoods leaders, were made to under
stand that the party will not follow their
lead In all matters, unless the question
has first been submitted to caucus.
In this instance, Clark, Underwood and
other Democrats on the ways and means
committee agreed to the tarin commits
sion bill without having consulted any
of the rank and file.. They expected the
other Democrats of the house to follow
their lead, and in. this they were mis-
taken.
In. his speech Mr.. Brantley declared
that he was too good a Democrat and
too loyal to fear the logic or shun infor-
nation bearing on the tariff. He be-
lieved that a tariff commission would be
useful In this respect. and that much
good would result from its Investigations
of the schedules. Mr.. Hardwick provok-
ed laughter by declaring that II was
easy to understand why the Republicans
are so anxious to take the tariff out OF
politics. since the tariff had taken SO
many of them out of politics. He did
not believe 1t good Democratic politics
to help the Republicans pull their chest
nuts out of the fire. The tariff beat
the Republican party last November.
and 1t would beat 1t again in 1872. UNI
less. the Democrats help them out OF
the hole.
Referring to Mr.. Brantley's speech, Mr.:
Hardwick agreed that he was too good
Democrat and too good lawer not
to examine the source from which comes
the proposition to get more ngnt on ,,
the tariff. He discounted the idea OF
getting information for the Democrats
about the tariff from board to be APP
pointed by Republican president, es-
pe er in view Of the fact that the
president himself had declared the
PAYNE Aldrich bill the best tariff legis-
iation ever enacted by an American con- con-
gress. se lsf
The difference between the Democrats
was entirely honest, and there Is no reel
ing as a result of last nights vote Inc
Democrats who voted for the bill con-
cede that the 81 who opposed II were
within their rights. and those VINO OPP
posed It entertain the same attitude To-
ward Messrs. Clark, Underwood, Brant-
lev. Howard and others.
