" 4 - The storyor the now exploded ro mance had been current for a long time, but -it -became specidlly irritat ing jto' British sensibilities following King George's accession. As "pub lished by Edward H. James, editor of The Liberator,1 it set forth that dur ing the - lifetime of the Duke of Clarence, his elder brother, and be fore George became . heir to . ' the throne, the future' King visited Malta, where he ' fell in love with and mar ried Mary Elizabeth ; Culme-Seymour, eldest daughter of the Admiral, wno was then stationed at Malta ascom-mander-in-chief of the Mediterreanean squadron. This was; supposed to be in 1890; but the admiralty records chnnsii that he Klne did not hold an appointment on any ship that visited Malta between the fall of 1888 and and summer pf 1893. The marriage records of the Island of Malta" were produced to prove that no such mar riage has - been ' recorded, . Admiral Culme-Seymour swore that his two daughters, one of -c whom had since died, never had had an opportunity to meet . His -Majesty. The Admiral's three sons gave similar testimony and finally the . daughter' In question, -who is now the wife of Captain N. Napier, entered the witness box and declared that vshe had seen the King but three times in her life. On the first occasion she was 7 years old. She saw him again at Portsmouth, when" he called upon her father in 1898, eight years after the alleged marriage, and once again at a garden party 4 in 1903, on which occasion she did not have a chance to address him. " ; " Mylus offered no testimony and did not examine the Crown's witness es.. He confined his defense;- which he conducted himself, to - technically ties, asserting that he could not .be legally tried in the absence of his accuser. v Sir Ruf us Isaacs, the Attorney .General, --who :.led 'the prosecution, in his closing .speech denounced the defendant as the circulator, of a base libel. The Attorney General conclud ed his appeal to-the -jury-by saying that It, was V hot the throne which required defense but that His Majes ty had sought the protection of the court as a man, husband and father. The proceedings canie to a dramatic close when, -after sentence had been pronounced. Sir. Ruf us read a letter from King George in which the writ er set forth that only the .advice of Officers of the- Crown that such - a course would be unconstitutional, had prevented him from appearing per sonally in the '' court room and pub licly branding as untrue - the allega tion that he ; had ever entered Intt any marriage alliance other than thav contracted with Queen Mary.

"- 7 "'r- --! -'.-'.-:' . .- According fto' Ochslmus, a heading "Germaa - geologist, there ; are ; about 39,000 square milesTof potash in one secUbn- of Germany u each of ? theso containingt some 50,000,000 .. tons of purer jwtash.Thisxsame authority e-too hat the .'onn"al output from these mines Is about 600,000 tons each. and he figures that if -the annual out pufshould Jump to 5,000,000 tons an nually it would .stm "require 21,600 years to exhaust the supply. !: - Another of . Germany's assertions is that j the , law doest not discriminate agalist Americans. . The' brief of; the American potash buyers Jcommlttee submitted to congress points out that, nnde'r the law as .recently passed by Germany? the mines of the potash trust Ad. that country were allowed a proporticn of output sufficient to sup ply tho world, while , the independent mines" that had;mhae contracts fo sup ply 'the United" States, at . a reduced priced were limited to .one-fourth f their actual sales already made to us. In addition a penalty pf $22 , per ton .was1 Imposed for "overproduction." Thus the j penalty falls exclusively ' upoa shipments to this country, and indi rectly upon the consumer.;7-r-: - 1 ; An effort isj-apparently being made to create tho impression that this con troversy Is really a contest between the : policy of the German government and an American trust -.. The fact Is that there is no such complete and powerful trust in the United States as this German ; . potash - syndicate. This . syndicate actually monopolizes the entire potash supply of ;the world, save for the two mines that; broke away from the trust and sold to Amer ican - buyers. . In i this country there are about 70 different, fertilizer manu facturers using potash, and. of these about 75 per cent are Independent ot any tnistaffillation. -: : ; Another claim made by the German committee at the. White House was to the effect that th American buyers knew that a law"r would be passed, pro viding, for goverhment,taxes and penr alties to; be assessed and" that they made-theee' contracts with this knowl edge, in mlndl" "?rhe American commit tee states positively that this.
