Special Jury Before Chief Justice
Alverstone Today Convicts
Writer of Circulating
Libel
SfNT TO PRISON FOR YEAR
Story That the Monarch Had Con-
tracted a Morganatic Marriage
is Proven False by Test-
mony Presented.

London, Feb. Edward f. Mylius
was today found guilty Of defaming
King George.
After brief proceedings today the
special jury before Lord Chief Justice
Alverstone cleared King George OF the
imputations against his personal char
acter by finding Edward r. Mylius
guilty of circulating libel. Mylius
was sentenced to one years imprison-
ment
Mylius was charged with distrlbut-
ing in England copies of "The Liberia
tor" a Paris publication, in which il
was alleged His Majesty, while Prince
of Wales. had contracted a morganatic
marriage with the elder daughter of
Admiral Seymour at Malta i'm 1890.
Seymour on the witness stand testi-
fed his daughter i'm question is now
the wife of Captain Napier of the
British Navy and 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.
The King had not visited Malta while
his daughters were there and the
younger daughter had never spoken to
him.
Mylius looked after his own de-
10 hA
summoned as a witness, but this was
refused on constitutional grounds.
Then he demanded the Kings presence
i'm court, asserting he could not be le-
gally tried i'm the absence of his ac-
cuser Alverstone again ruled against
him, declaring the defense knew that
under the constitution His Majesty
could not be present.
The prosecution addressing the court
characterized the story of the NOR
ganatic marriage as absolutely false
regretting his majesty was not per-
mitted personally to face his SANDER
ers and concluded with the declara-
tion the suit has not been brought to
protect the monarchy, but that King
George had sought the protection of
the court as a man, husband and faith
er. 1t did not take the jury long to
convict Mylius and the court forthwith
condemned him to one years imprison-
ment
King George Makes Statement.
After sentence had been passed
letter was, read from King George, au-
thorizing the attorney general TO state
publicly that the writer had never
been married except to Queen Mary;
had never gone through the ceremony
of marriage except with the queen;
and that he would have attended the
proceedings to give evidence to this
effect except for advice of the law Of
ficers OF the crown that il would be

Shortcomings Of System.

1. 1t is punitive rather than remed-
ial. In spite of the fact that the drunk
ard who Is of vicious character is in
the minority. it treats all as criminal.
2. a large number are released by
the court, without the discipline and
treatment they need. For those so re-
leased there is no means of oversight
The court ought to know whether they
are or are not making good.
8. Except for the vicious or hope
less, Jail Imprisonment is of no value
and may be positibely harmful. Pride
is weakened by disgrace, and the indi-
vidual is deprived of work, and Of
most needs healthful bodily condi-
tions He is made to associate with
depraved persons, when he most needs
good company and friendly council
lors.
4. If fine is imposed, it is de-
nanded at a time when usually the
offender has nothing left. Imprison-
ment for non payment of fine for
drunkenness is incongruous, for IL the
Imprisonment were needed. the court
should have imposed it in the first
place. IL the fine is paid by friends,
there is little or no discipline for the
defendant.
s. The short sentence of from ten
TO thirty days is generally harmful and

Coal was known TO exist i'm Michi-
gan early I'm the last century, and
some mining is said to have been done
in the Jackson field as early as 1885
other mines were opened at Grand
Ledge, In Clinton County in 1888, but
there is no record of the output prior
to the census report of 1860; in that
year Michigan was credited with a
production of 2.320 tons. The devel-
opment of mining in this State has
however. been tardy. owing largely TO
the fact that one OF the principal in
dustries of the vicinity, the manufac-
ture of salt, had been carried on In
connection with sawmills, using the
sawdust and othcr refuse from these
mills as fuel. Wood also formed the
chief fuel for other manufacturing
industries and for domestic use. II
was only in the closing decade of the
last century that serious attention be-
gan to be paid TO the coal resources
of the State. and prior to 1896 the pro-
duction had exceeded 100000 tons dur
ing four year only. In 1897 is ex
ceeded 100000 tons. i'm 1899 il exceeded
100000 tons. and In 1901 is reached a
total exceeding 100000 tons. The
maximum output of 2,O35,S5S tons was
reached i'm 1907.

Senator Brown Of Nebraska De-
livers Strong Speech Against
Illinois Man in Senate
Today
ELECTION STORY OF SHAME"
Testimony of Rep. Browne Taken to
Mean That Lorimer Knew All
About Bribery DeaIs-lm-
pleating Legislators.

washington. ID. c., Feb. THAT
senator I.orimer had full knowledge
NJ the bribery, by which ii is charged
his election was procured, was as
serted by Senator Brown of Nebras-
ka i'm a speech i'm the senate today.
This was a step in advance of any
that had been taken on the subject.
Browns reference to the Lorimer
case was incidental to discussion of
the resolution providing for the popu-
lar election of senator's.
Declaring the consideration of the
IOrimer case TO he essential to the
proper discussion of the election
question, Brown undertook to show
that the relations between Lorimer
and State Representative Brown had
been such as to render IL certain Lor-
inner had been positively advised as
TO Browns operations in IIoriIner's
behalf To this end the senator un-
dertool< to show that the support of
Browne and his thirty democratic fol-
lowers had been procured through
Speaker Shurtleff, Lorimer's room
mate and warm friend, and that after
I,orimer and Browne had been
brought together they were in con-
stant conference, meeting as often as
a dozen times in one evening.
Declares Lorimer Knew All.
what were these conferences
about?' ash cd Brown, and making
reply to his own inquiry said, Every
senator knows they related to ways
and means necessary to win votes for
Lorimer. on no rational theory can
anybody conclude that Lorimer was
unadvsed by Browne OF anything that
Browne did for him. and whatever
Browne did and whatever difficulties
Browne encountered in his canvass
for support among his followers for
I.orimer, must have been made known
To Lorlmer at these conferences, and
independent of any direct testimony on
that question 1t must be concluded In
all good reason and conscience that
Browne concealed nothing from Lori
mer that Lorimer did not know about
at that time. This construction Is
supported by every undisputed cir
cumstance surrounding the transac-
ton"
Bribery Invalidates Election.
"The only theory on which the elec-
tion of Lorimer can be sustained is
that no one was bribed by Browne to
vote for him. If Browne bribed mo-
body. Lorimer knew it. II Browne
bribed anybody. Lorimer knew 1t and
consented to it, and thereby forfeited
all title to the office. And when the
committee agrees that with the four
votes bribed by Browne, Lorimer's
election is still valid, the conclusion
must fail, because under tAe direct
and undisputed evidence o Browne.
as well as under all other avincing
circumstances and proof, it is obvious
Lorimer knew all that Browne did. =
There is no escape from this conclu-
sion"
Brown asserted further that the
Iorimer election tells a story of
shame and ignominy unparalleled in
the history of legislation"
