VOL. LV.—NO. 15 DOES NOT CONSIDER IT PCLITICAL OFFENCE Dedlai ‘Washington, Jan. The Bulletin’s Circulation In Norwich is Double That of Any. YLIUS BARRED FROM THE GOUNTRY Secretary Nagel Decides That His Libel of King George Involved Moral Turpitude = 16—Edward F. It Was Not Part of a Political Controversy—Woman Was Alleged to Have Figured in Morganatic Mar- riage Pronounced Story Untrue in London Court— —Journalist Has Right to Appeal to the Courts. Mylius, the journalist convicted in Lon- don of libeling King George V for which he pald a penalty of ten months in prison, was ordered turned away from the gates of the United States today by Charles Nagel, secretary of commerce and labor, as an undesir- able immigrant within the meaning of American immigration laws. Claimed The cabinet official” hel Jius® Nagel in his decision, It Was Political a offense was ‘a crime that Crime. My- involving moral turpitude which barred his ad- mission to the shores of this country. He denied the contention that it was a purely political crime, excapted by the statutes. Only appeal to the courts can now stay Mylius’ deportation. Secretary Nagel’s Contention. “I cannot assume” said Secretary ‘that a law which _excludes anarchists and per- sons who advocate the overthrow the assassination government or of public officials, was intended to ad- mit the publisher of a false cha ge of bigamy simply because vances a political purpose or motive for the act, or because he the ad- false charge was directed against a king, emong others, or because the = ourt in which the trial was had regarded the political aspect of the cas sggTavation of the offense.” Argued London Trial Was Farce. Proponents of Mylius advanced-the defense that he was convicted of sedi- tious libel—a political crime; that as an his trial in London had been a farce: attacking the honor of the king of England he that in circulating a sto: was aiming a blow at monarchical overnment in the interest of repub- icanism which should make him a welcome visitor to a free country. Purpose of Libelous Story. The allegeq libelous story, published Sn the Paris Liberator, and for the distribution of which in England My- Jius _was _convicted, charged that George V., when a prince, contracted a norganatic marriage in 1890 with the daughter of Sir Michael Culme-Sey- mour, an admiral of the British navy, ow ‘the wife of Captain Trevelyan Napier. Not Barred from England. In ordering the deportation of the Journalist, Secretary Nagel was con- fronted with the unjque situation that though Mylius was not eligible to en- ter America he was not barred from returning to England, where his al- Jeged crime was committed. of | “It is admitted,” eald the secretary ‘that this allen Was accused of hav- ing published a libel charging the king with bigam: that he was tried be- fore a jury; convicted and sentenced and that he served his term. Only Question at Issue. “This record is, therefore, conclu- sive with respect to every question but ome. It cannot be doubted that the offense for which the alien was convicted 1s of the character described in our statute as a ground for ex- clusion. “The only question left for discus- sion is whether the offense should be regarded as ‘purely political, not in- volving moral turpitude’ and there- h;re meets the exception in the stat- ute. “Primarily a false charge of bigamy is a common crime. In this instance that charge was directed, not only against the king, but ,by inference against Mrs. apier. | Story Denied by Mrs. Napier. | | “While a conviction in a properly | constituted court of a civilizea coun- | try is for all purposes conclusive upon | us in the consideration of such cases, | it is proper to add that the alien ad- mits the circulation of the libel, that at the trial that Mrs. apier, her | father and her brother, and other wit- | nesses testified without contradiction | on cross examination to its entire un- truth. The sole argument so advanced in favor of treating this offemse as a | purely political one is that the iter of the ‘article in Paris and Mr. My lius in England, intended it as n attack upon a phase of monarchical institation and in justification of good morals and true religion; and that the crown in its proceeding treated it as a political offense. Not Part of Political Controversy. “I have not found a clear defini- tion of ‘political offense.” The accepted rTule seems to be that, to constitute a political offense, it iS necessary show something in the nature of certed action.” The alieged crime lacked this char- | acter, the secretary further said, and Wwas not a part of a political contro- versy, an uprising or & common move- ment, but Myllus depended entirely upon’ his avowed motive or purpose to give his act the required political character. “If such a contention is to be ac- cepted,” added Mr. Nagel, “there Is no crime in the calendar which cannot be provided with the proper coloring by the offender himself.” TO GIVE PUBLIC BETTER P'CTURES.

WANTS INAUGURAL BALL ABOLISHED President-elect Wilson Writes Chairman of Committee. to Trenton, N. J., Jan. 16.—President- elect Wilson favors the abolishment of the inaugural ball. This became known today when he sent a letter to Wil- liam Corcoran Kustis at Washington, chairman of the inauguration commit- tee, asking him to consider the feas- ibility of omitting the ball as a feat- ure of the inauguration ceremonies. Mr. Wilson's Jetter follows: ‘ My Dear Mr. Eustis: After taking counsel with a great many persons and assessing as well as I coul§ gen- eral opinion in the matter, IVhave come to the conclusion that it is my duty o asi you to consider the feas- ibility of omitting the, Inauguration ball altogether. “I do this with a great deal of hesitation, because I do not WiNa ‘to interfere with settled practices or with reasonable expectations of those who usually go to-enjoy the inauguration, but it has come {o wear the aspect of a_sort of public duty, because of the large indirect expense upon the government incidental to it and be- cause these balls have ceased to be necessary to the enjoyment of the vis- itor “I hope most sincerely that this re- quest will in no way embarrass you and that I have not too long delayed in making the suggestion. “With cordial regard; “Sincerely _yours, “WOODROW WILSON.” “RATHER LATE DATE.

THREE BIG STRIKES ON Railroad Trouble at Yonkers Settled— Jewish Reporters Catch the Strike Fever—Hotel Workers Vote for Strike New York, Jap. 16—Strikes in three big industries are progressing in this clty, and efforts of varions mediatory bodies to settle the differences between employers and employes and put the nearly 200,000 persons involved back at work agaln, had accomplished noth- ing up to tonlght.. A fourth strike which had tled up trolley service in a suburb for two weeks or more was settled today. Summed up, the situa- tlon tonight Is as follows: 150,000 Garment Workers Out. More than 150,000 workers are in- volved in the great strike in the gar- ment making industry, the chief among the labor troubles which has been in progress for weeks and has grown rap- idly in proportions in the last few days. Continued conferences today had no apparent result towards ending the strike. Several hundred waiters, cooks and hotel employes have been on strike since early this month. More Hotel Help to Strike. Tonight a committee of thirty rep- resenting the International Hotel Workers' union _and the Industrial Workers of the World, including Jo- seph Ettor and Arturo Giovannittl, was in conference to decide whether to is- sue a strike order calling out 12,000 waiters, cooks and helpers of various classes in an effort to tie up the hotels and restaurants of the city in enforc- ing wage and other demands of the men. By a vote of 10 to 1 about 5,000 hote] emploves earlier in the day had voted in favor of the proposed strike order, it was announced. Yonkers Railroad Resumes. Car wheels turned for the Yonkers Rallroad company today for the first time this year. The difference between the company and the men who struck on December 31 were settled by inter- vention of the public service commis- sion. The strikers agreed to resume work on satisfactory terms with the understanding that ony future differ- ences are to be submitted to arbitra- tion. Jewish Reporters Quit. Reporters and other writers on the Jewish daily newspapers of the city today added another strike to the labor unrest. Editors-in-chief, city editors and even stockholders are gathering and writing the news for these papers, and the proprietors declared the edi- tions would be issued as early as usual. The strikers, members of the Jewish Writers' union, demand a mintmum wage scale of $25 weekly; an agree- ment that no reporter shall be forced to write more than three columns a day and less blue pencilling of copy by the editors. Possibility of Firemen’s Strik In addition to these strikes, negotia- tions between railroad managers and 35,000 firemen on fifty-four eastern railroads for a settlement of the men’s demands for increased pay and better working | conditions which, have been in progrdss here, have been suspended and the firemen’s officials in this city are preparing to take a vote of the men on the question of striking. FRANCE TO ELECT PRESIDENT TODAY in Doubt, but Lies Between Poincare and Pams. Result Paris, Jan. 16.—A president of France will be chosen tomorrow by the mem- bers of the chamber of deputies and of the senate sitting together as the national assembly at Versailles. The eve of the election finds the situa- tion as respects the candidates as in- volved as it was at the beginning. The joint caucus to nominate a can- didate for the presidency ended today without giving an absolute majority to either Premier Poincare or Jules Pams, the minister of agriculture and it is impessible to forecast tomor- row's result, though apparently the election_lies between these two offi- cials. The third ballot taken this af- terncon_gave Premier Poincare 309 votes while M. Pams received 313. It is thought, however, that the radical left may bring forward a new ‘candidate, or revive the candidacy of ‘Antonin Dubust, president of the sen- ate, or ex-Premier Ribot, If M. Pams does not win on the first baliot, for which, it must be remembered, the so- clalist, Bauardo Vaillant, stands. It is explained that the uncertain situation is due to the fact that a large number of M. Poincare’s sup- porters would on no account vote for M. Pams, if the premier withdrew while none of the opponents of Pro- portional representation, who support the candidacy of M. Pams, would vote for Premier Poincare, if the minister of agriculture retired. ORDERED PRINT AND MOP BY PARCEL POST. Rural Folks Regard It is a Paternal tic Shopping Service. ‘Washington, Jan. 16.—Reports from rural free delivery carriers indicate that the rural population seemingly has accepted the parcel post as a sort of paternalistic messenger service. A Vermont postmaster reported that one of his rural carriers found in one farm letterbox beside the road a note at- tached to a scrap of calico. The note read: “Please get me five yards of colored prift as per sample, and also buy me I will pay when you bring them. In_another wayside box was found a dollar bill appended to a note which instructed the carrier as a representa- tive of the parcel post to deliver two boxes of patent medicine lengths of stovepipe from the adjacent and five town. Postoffice officlals said today that when the parcel post advantages are apparent there will be no friction. Steamship Arrivals. Genoa, Jan. _13.—Arrived, steamer Ancona,” New York.

A VOTE OF 367 TO 257 Announcement of Figures Followed by Cheers for Redmond and Asquith— Belfast Orangemen Make a Stir. London, Jan. 16.—After a long, stern battle, the home rule-bill passed the house of commons tonight by a ma- jority of 110. It was later read for the first time In the house of lords. There were two divisions in the low- er house. Mr. Balfour’s motion for its rejection was defeated, 258 to 383, while the third reading was carrled by a vote of 367 to 257, one member of each side having lefc the house in the interval. Fate Sealed in House of Lords. The result of the division was too much a foregone conclusion for a tre- mendous demonstration, but.Irishmen inside and outside of ‘the house did thelr best, and, assisted by the liberals and laborites, gave the measure for which they had waited and worked so long & good sendoft on its way to the house of lords, where its fate is cer- tainly sealed. Series of Brilliant Speeches. The division was preceded by an- other series of brilliant speeches by the political leaders, among whom were Frederick E. Smith and the solicitor Eeneral, Sir John A. Simon, two of the Cleverest among the younger members, and the veterans, John 1. Redmond, Timothy Healy and Augustine Birrell, chief secretary for Ireland. The House Crowded. The house was crowded throughout the day. The nationalists were only one short of their full strength, Jo- seph P. Nannetti being prevented from attending by a paralytic attack which he suffered today. Several of the older nationalists who are seldom able to attend came over from Ireland for the aiyision. The liberals and laborites, too, turn- ed out in force and the unionists were not far below their total membership. The galleries likewise were filled to their capacity, those occupying seats including many dignitarfes of th church and the Bulgarian peace pleni- potentiaries. Cheers for Redmond and Asquith. When the figures were announced the nationalists waved hats, handker- chiefs and pepers and cheered lustily for Premier Asquith and Mr. Redmond. The latter, who is usually impassive, was carled away by the enthusiasm of his followers and entered'into the spirit of the demonstrations as effu- sively as they. Those who crowded the lobbles re- ceived the figures with another roar of welcome and followed this by cheering the bill itself as a copy was carried by | an official from the commons to the lords. Measure Received by Lords. The upper house met especially to receive the measure and formally pass- ed its first reading. The house of commons soon quicted after the Irish demonstration, but out- | side the crowd continued to cheer for some time. A strong force of police prevented any attempt at an organized demonstration, fearine a clask between the opposing factions. The nationalist songs and cheers brought forth counter cries from the public who had gather- ed largely out of curiosity. Anti-Home Rule Demonstration. An_anti-home rule demonstration was held in the streets of Belfast to- night and a copy of the bill burned amid deafening cheers. Intense excite- ment prevalled, but there was no dis- order. ORANGEMEN DEMONSTRATE. Revolvers Discharged and One Man Shot at Belfast. Belfast, Ireland, Jan. 16.—Thousands of orangenten and members of unionist clubs held demonstrations outside city hall this evening and burned a copy of the home rule bill There was much firing of revolvers, mostly blan cartridges, but one man was shot in the back and is in a critical condi- tion. There were no further disorders, but bands paraded the streets until mid- night. “A MOST WICKED PLOT” BY NEW YORK POLICE. Whitman Exposes Their Underhanded Methods in Sipp Case. New York, Jan. 16.—Denouncing as “a most wicked plot” the arrest in At- lantic City of George A. Sipp, the hotel keeper who fled to the New Jersey resort after giving evidence before an aldermanic committee that he had pail for police protection for his rescrt, District Attorney Whitman today de- clared in a statement that there had been a conspiracy to render worthless Sipp's testimony before the grand jury. This conspiracy, according to Sipp's later testimony before the grand jury, involved two attorneys who are al- leged to have paid him 3700 to leave the jurisdiction of the courts of this county. The district attorney declared in his | statement that had the plan succeeded of having Sipp indicted by the grand jury for a crime alleged to have been committed four vears ago and charged to him by the police, his evidence against Patrolman Fox, later indicted by the grand jury for bribery through the testimony of Sipp and others, would have ~been worthless. After stating that the police charge against Sipp had been disproved before the grand jury, Mr. Whitman said: “The outrageous abuse of legal process by which Sipp was arested and imprisoned in Atlantic City was re- sorted to not for the purpose of as- sisting the people of the state of New York, but of assisting a police officer accused of bribery. “After his discharge Sipp came back willingly, asking only to be protected until he could testify before the grand jury from the very people who now pretend that they wanted to bring him back a prisoner g0 that he could testi- | Connecticut Messenger Arrive: (Special to The Bulletin.) .

RAILROAD New York, Jan. 16.—A barrier which stood in the way of construction work on the great railrond bridge across the East river, crossing Ward's Isiand ana_connecting the Pennsylvania rail- road and New Haven railroad systems was_removed by court action today. Justice McCall in the supreme court vacated a temporary injunction ob- tained by the authorities of the Man- hattan state hospital for tho Insane on Ward’s Island, who claimed a state law prevented any railroad from cross. ing the lands of a state hospital with- out permission by special lesislation. The court held that there was no ground for the complaint as the law pirmitting the building of the bridge was passed .two vears previous to the act quoted by the hospital authorities who asserted the construction of such a bridge would seriusly affect the health of the inmatés of the insti- tution.
