There will be a trip to Waimangu and a Maori welcome at Whakarcwarewa on Saturday. The visitors return to Auckland on Sunday night. JIM LARKIN. RELEASED FROM PRISON. Washington, Jan. 17. An Albany telegram says that Gtvernor Smith has pardoned Jim Larkin, who was convicted in 1920 on a charge ' of criminal anarchy, having advocated the “dictatorship of the proletariat.” The Governor said the pardon was not because he subscribed to Larkin’s views, but because the views did not constitute or advocate anarchy, but merely a new and radically different form of organised government.
