He Believes Kings Libeler Is
Wrongfully Held at

Now York. January II -- Edward Hol-
ton James. editor of the Paris Libcrator,
which printed the libelous story of "a
marriage of King George OF England
10 a daughter of Admiral Culme-Sey-
mour before he became King arrived to-
day on the French liner La Provence TO
aid his friend. Edward Myths. the Bel
gan Journalist. who was imprisoned in
England for year for criminal libel in
having circulated the statement in that
country. Myths is held at Ellis Island
pending an appeal from an order of de
pOrtation.
Despite reports that james would be
sent TO Ellis Island he was not detained
longer than was necessary 10 make an
anidavit that he was born in this coun-
try and still retained his citizenship. al

six years. James told the immigration

years until 1906. when he went to Paris

biiity OF taking out citizenship papers
If he intended 10 remain in this coun-
try"
James declared that Myths was no
more "a criminal than he himself was.
Tho article which | wrote in the
Liberator." he said, was clearly sedi-
tions under the law. The English
court held that the case was one be-
tween one private citizen and another.
II could not be a case between one
citizen and another. because the King
is above the law. The English King
cannot b. libeled.
How then can Mylius be excluded
from this country For Mylius's offense
was sedition. and sedition rs political
