LIBEL LAW INVOKED
FOR KING GEORGE
Of ENGLAND
EDITOR SEIZED AND
THROWN INTO PRISON
Charged With Circulating Story
That Sovereign, When Prince
of Wales, Was Married to
Daughter Of Seymour,

London, Jan. 29.-The News of the
World says that King Georges advis-
ers have instituted criminal libel pro-
ceedings with the object of ending
once for all rumors freely circulated
for years that his majesty, when
Prince of Wales was morganitically
married 10 daughter of an admiral
at Malta.
The defendant Is Edward F. My
Illus. who is said to be connected with
"the Liberator." published in Paris,
which printed the statements on
which the libel charge Is based MY
lius was recently arrested, charged at
Bow street, committed for trial and
sent to jail,
subsequently, on his own applica-
ton to the judge, bail was fixed
at 100000.
According to statement In The
Liberator, the defendant intends to
make a plea of justification, and also
to subpoena the king as witness,
The constitutional law, however,
makes 1t impossible for his majesty
to give evidence in his own courts,
Notwithstanding he may be anxious
to do so.
The Morning Post published long
article on the constitutional law In
such an unusual case, saying that
the police arrested Mylius during a
legal vacation, and had abstained
from charging him in police court,
according to the usual procedure.
Application was made to the vaca-
tion Judge in chambers, who issued
a writ of habeas corpus and then
committed him to custody, fixing bail
at 100000, which the prisoner was
unable to find.
The result of this action of the po-
lice was that Mylius was legally com
mitted without publicity and until
recently the London papers have
made but brief reference TO the
case. f.Nl
Ag 1t is understood that the proceed
ings in the kings libel suit are taken
under statute 800 years old.

OLIVER OPPOSED TO
RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA

Pittsburg, Jan. 2S.-Several hundred
members of the Young Mems Repubii-
can Tariff club tonight honored the
late President Mckinley at the dinner
of the organization.
United States Senator George t.
Oliver who came from Washington
especially to speak, startled his hear
ers when he differed with President
Taft in his Canadian reciprocity policy.
Senator Oliver said In part:
The protective tariff Is the great
underlying principle of the republican
party, and rs the strongest argument on
which we can appeal to the people for
continued support; but in these latter
days however, new generation OF
professed republicans has arisen whose
aim seems to be to afford as little pro-
lection as possible to our industries
while still processing a conditional ad-
herence to the doctrine.
In this relation want 10 say word
or two about the reciprocity ogree-
ment between our country and Canada
which the president sent to congress
for approval last Thursday.
lnt ODJtct is tltIlcl " ASNueS ~
wipe out the duties now levied on many
Canadian products, in return for which
we are to obtain like concessions from
the Canadian government, which will
greatly benefit several of our industries.
There Is no doubt that the effect OF
this arrangement will be to stimulate
trade between United States and our
neighbors; but in considering this
proposition we must not lose sight OF
the fact that the Canadian products
mostly affected are the fruits of the
soil, while the benefits to be derived
by our people will largely accrue to
the Industrial or manufacturing class.
AS result of this therefore, our manu-
facturers, merchants and industrial
laborers will profit at the expense Of
the farmers.
The farming interest has already
been one of the great bulwarks of the
republican party; and while l natural
ly hesitate at antagonizing any i'm
portant measure favored by the admin
istration of President Taft, will have
to experience a change of heart be-
fore vote to deprive one class of our
industries of that protection to which
they are justly entitled under the
theories and practices of the republic
can party for the benefit of Others

NUMBER OF IDLE CARS
DOUBLES SINCE LAST YEAR

Chicago, Jan. 2S,--The number Of
idle freight cars In the United States
and Canada as shown by the report of
the American Railway association to-
day Is on the Increase. on January ~
there were 122,2e7 idle cars, more
than twice that OF January 10, 1910,
when 5f.s36 idle cars were reported.
Railroad men give three reasons for
the surplus
First. Snow and storms In 1910 tied
up many cars and brought out all the
empty cars the railroads could obtain.
Second. The low ebb al which Iron
and steel mills and the big manufac-
turers are opcrationg.
Third. Enforcement Of rules of the
interstate commerce commission for
prompt unloading.

ELEVEN BOATS
ARE ENTERED
Preparations Complete for
Races This Afternoon.

All preparations have been made
for the fourth race in the Yacht
Club series to start this afternoon at
3 o'clock. The race viii lie held
over the monument course, and the
officials in charge promise that the
race will start ;ronlrt!y ON time, and
that there viii be TO delay as in the
previous races in the series.
Eleven boats are entered in the
race this afternoon, and because of
the nearness Of the boats TO each
other in regard to number of points,
a good and cl )se ace may be ex-
pected. Tho Tempest, Elsie and
Marguerite are at present at the head
Of the list. Tanpast, rs POINTS; Ell
sic, 23 points; Marguerite, y points.
All three boats are Sood s%ailers, and
are all scratch starters. The Bole
would no doubt be up with the rest
of them, were she not out of one
race, while Wight and a party we're
on a cruise up Long Island Sound.
AS it is, she has a total of II points.
Carrot Evans, wner of the Ideal,
which won the race on Decoration
Day, says he is tired of finishing up
so near to last, and will show them
a few things in the race today. If
the breeze blows strong, Evans has a
boat which can hold it's own with
any Of them. They're all afraid Of
his boat since Decoration Day, and
won't give him so much of a handi-
cap as before.
Never before was such keen in
terest shown in the races at the
Yacht Club. There is a friendly ri
valry existing tetween all the boats,
especially the leaders, to see wheth-
er Mariners Harbor, Railway, or
Keyport will take home the first
prize at the end of the series, or
whether the speedy boat, Bole, will
keep 1t here in this city. Some are
betting on Railway, but the chances
are pretty safe on the Bole, although
she is eight point behind the leader
at the present time.

There will be some fishing today

men coming in from the other cities
and all say that the fishing grounds
here are the best they have struck

were made yesterday. One party
brought back eight blues and weaks
and one small turtle. The other got
three weaks.
One of the largest catches made

THIS MAN SAW
WATER SNAKES
George Graham of RossviIIe
Tells His Story.

This comes to US from Rossville,
S. l.: While George Graham, Of
this place. was shrimping in Slack
Creek early in the week he saw
something swimming On the top of
the water. He kept his eyes on it
and followed 1t several feet. On
closer examination he found 1t to be
a water snake with an eel In its
mouth. He chased 1t and the snake
went down in the mud. Then Ora
ham made a strike at the serpent
and 1t peeved it so that it attacked
Graham. The fight continued for
twenty minutes. at the end of which
Graham came out in the lead.
He pulled it out Of the mire and
found 1t to measure seven feet in
length with a mean diameter of one
inch. Nine full grown cells were
found In the snake. This experience,
sort Of took the starch out of Mr..
Graham, SO he went to M. O'Niel's
to settle down. He told the boys of
the new kind of shrimp he had
caught. He then took something
to steady him and started once
more for shrimp. which he got.
When seen this morning Graham was
reticent and all he would say Is:
mo more Slack Creek for me-"

that remains to be seen. They will
have a strong combination back Of
them and expect to do wonders when
they get loose. Mullen will again
be seen On the slab for the Iroquois

good game. He did it against the
Goodwills last week and they claim
he will do it again. There is no
reason why he should not, for he is
now in the best of shape. The Iro-
quois did not know what a find they
had until he showed up in great form
