ordered deported yesterday BY the COM

alien and probably will return on the

Mylius published a sensational story
to the effect that the English sovereign
had contracted a morganatic marriage
in Malta in 1880. The story was DIS
proved in an action for libel brought
against him by the solicitor-genera Of
England. He was sentenced to years

We're broken and the hand was 50 badly
cut that he may not be able to close it
entirely again,
With others Nassar was engaged in
placing the stone on level foundation
and the stone had been lifted by means
of a rope swing" when the rope gave
way, causing the heavy weight to fall
on Vassars hand, crushing it ter

who in vestigated the reported outrages
against the Peruvian Indians in the
Putumsyo rubber districts. arrived in

with state department officials. The out
RACES brought TO light by Consul Full
er's investigation are such as to give
rise to one of the most perplexing Lat
in American problems with which the
state department has had to deal. es-
pecially in view of the facts that British
corporations are the principal operators
in the Peruvian rubber field.
Consul FulIer's report mailed before
his departure for the United States, hnd

he supplemented the disclosures made
therein with other information. all tend
ing to show the horror of the outrages
upon the Indians BY their
foreign employers. as well as the gravity
of the problem with which the Ameri-
can government has TO deal.
The principal purpose of Consul Full
ler's mission was to ascertain whether
the outrages gainst the Indian rubber
gatherers had ceased. as the Peruvian
government insists is the case. but this
fact cannot be known until the consul's
report j. transmitted to Congress. which
