FATE Of MYUUS RESTS
WITH SECRETARY NAGEL
Must Decide Whether PubIica-
ton of Romance About a
King Constitutes a Libel.

Whether the publication of a romance
about a king which the king Indignantly
denies is such an offense as will bar
the writer from admission to the United
States is the problem which Secretary
Nagel has presented to him in the case
of Edward F. Myths, a foreign news
paper man, whose side of the story was
told to the Secretary yesterday. Secre-
tary Nagel reserved his decision.
Edward Hoiton James, an American
citizen and nephew of the late Prof. VIII
liam James and of Henry James, the
novelist. also editor of the Paris Liberia
tor. pleaded the cause of Myths, who is
now being held at Ellis Island. by the
immigration authorities, because 1t is
claimed he libeled King George V of
England.
In defense of his friend, in whose in
terest he crossed the Atlantic, Mr.. James
told the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor that Myths had been convicted of
a political offense and not a crime involV-
ing moral turpitude.
Holds Libel Crime.
The special immigration board of in
quiry at New York held that the criminal
libel of king was a crime involving
moral turpitude which. under the immi-
grafton laws, bars an alien from entry
to America. Mr.. James maintained that
if there had been any offense it had been
sedition, which was political, to which
the immigration laws offer no bar,
Mr.. Nagel discussed the case, with the
Paris editor for an hour and a half and
promised to give prompt decision. the ma
ture of which cannot be feretold.
While Mr.. James would not disclose
any of the details Of his conference with
the cabinet officer. he freely discussed
the publication in the Llberator OF the
alleged libelous story that King George
had contracted morganatic marriage
with the daughter of Admiral Culme-Sey-
story and Mylius was convicted of Grim
inal libel in connection with its distribu-
ton in London.
Now Afirms It, He Says.
"I wrote it and I now affirm it, said
Mr.. James, tersely. Il have spent months
in investigating it and l am satisfied Of
it's truth. If l did not believe the mar
rage took place / would publish unhesi-
tatingly a retraction and apologize to
King George and the then Miss Sey-
mour."
Mr.. James, who is also a Harvard
graduate. snapped with emphasis that
he was proud of his American citizenship.
He had interested Myths in republican
propaganda and convinced him that Eng
land should be a republic. In this way,
he added. Myths had become connected
with the Liberator. devoted to republican
principles.

over the Green Meadows to tell the news
that it was Old Man Coyote from the
Great West who had come to make his
home on the Green Meadows. And that
night when they heard his voice some
how it didn't sound so terrible. You see
they knew what it was, and that made
all the difference In the world.
The shiyers still might crawl and creep
And chase away good friendly S.eep,
But knowing whom he had to fear
Brought to each heart q bit or cheer.
That may seem queer, but 1t was so.

to be just a little bit smarter than Old

PERSH|NG REPORTS FIGHT
AGAINST MORO FANATICS
Fourteen Soldiers Killed in At
tack Upon Natives at
Mount Bagsak.

Military experts at the War Depart
ment classify Gen. Pershings achieve
ment at Mount Bagsak on the Island OF
Jolo, with the similar expedition conduct
ed by Gen.. Leonard Wood against tho
Mohammedan fanatics at Bud Dojo on
the same island in 1908. In the spec
tacular battle of the crater in 1908 about
600 natives were exterminated by the
American forces before the insurrection
in that quarter was effectually quelled.
In that campaign eighteen Americans
were killed and fifty-two were wounded.
Reports received at the War Depart
ment show that greater results were
achieved by Gen. Pershing at Bagsak
with fewer casualties among the Amer
Ican forces.

In response to a special call from the
War Department, Gen. Pershing has
made a cable report of the movement.
as follows:
