TALKS OF NATTER
Says Mylius Has Once Been Pun-
ished for Libel-May go to Wash.
ingtons in Behalf of
Journalist


New York, January 13.--Edward Hol-
ton James, editor of the Paris Liber-
ator which printed the iibel1ous story
of a marriage of King George of Eng
land to a daughter of Admiral Culme
Seymour before he became King, ar
rived today on the French liner La
Province to aid his friend Edward My
Illus. the Belgian journalist, who was
imprisoned in England for year for
criminal libel in having circulated the
statement in that country. Mylius Is
held at Ellis Island pending an appeal
from an order of deportation.
Despite reports that James would be
sent to Ellis Island, he was not de-
tanned longer than was necessary to
make an affidavit that he was born
in this country and still retained his
citizenship, although he had lived in.
Paris for the last six years. James told
the immi grafton officials he was born
in Prairie. Du CHEN, Wis, 80 years
ago.; was graduated from Harvard in
1896: and had practiced law In Seattle,
WASH, for six years until 1906, when
he went to Paris.
ST am not an anarchist" James said
in explaining his political views and he
continued: 81 do not like to be called
James said he enjoys absolute free
dom in France and never had any con-.
fiicts with the authorities as the result
of any action. speech or publication of
his paper. He said that after being
released from prison in England My
Illus was unable to obtain employment
anywhere.
IT sent him to the United States" he
said, booking him to California. where
I expected his health would improve.
/ suggested to him the advisability OF
taking out citizenship papers IL he in
tended to remain in this country
James declared that Mylius was no
more a criminal than he himself was.
"The article which I wrote in the
Liberator." he said was clearly sed-
tious under the law. The English
court held that the case was one be-
tween one citizen and another. 1t could
not be a case between one citizen and
another because the King Is above the
law The English King cannot be
libelled How, then, can Mylius be ex-
cluded from this country? For Mylius'
offense was sedition and sedition is a
political offense. The English pun
ished him and now it does not seem
just that America should punish him,
too"
James said that he would go to Ellis
Island tomorrow morning to learn what
is being done in the Mylius case. II
necessary he would go 10 Washington
to aid his friend.
James is son Of the late Prof Will
liam James of Harvard and q nephew of
Henry James, the novelist.

B|GELOW SUCCEEDS
DR.. R. {. D0OL|TTLE
Appointed to Fill Vacancy
in Board of Pure Food
Inspectors

Washington, January 12.-Dr. Carl L.
Alsberg, chief of the bureau of chem
istry of the department of agriculture
today announced the appointment OF
DR.. Willard p. Bigelow as member of
the board of food and drug inspection
which passes on all cases of alleged
violation of the pure food law. Bige-
low, who fills the vacancy caused by
the voluntary retirement of DR.. r. e.
Doolittle, has been with the bureau of
chemistry for 20 years and has served
|as assistant chief since 1908.
The members of the board are DR..
Alsberg, chairman, and A. G. Mitchell.
1t was because of friction with fellow
members of the board that DR.. Harvey
W. Wiley. former chief of the bureau
of chemistry, retired after declaring
that his efforts to enforce the pure
food law were nullified by the dissent
ing opinions of his colleagues in the
department of agriculture. The board
of food and drug inspection weighs
the evidence presented against food and
drugs and considers the arguments of
the manufacturers. When, in the opin-
ion of the board prosecution is war
ranted, it recommends that the secre-
tary of agriculture transmit the evi?
dence to the department of Justice.
