COUNTESS PEEVED AT U.S. EXCLUSION.
“ ADULTERY NO CRIME IN ENGLAND,” SHE AVOWS. NOBILITY WOULD ALL BE IN GAOL, IF IT WERE. By Telegraph—Press Assn.— Copyright* Reuter's Telegrams (Received February 15, 10 a-tn.) NEW YORK, February 13. “Adultery is not a crime in England,” the Countess of Cathcart told reporters on Saturday at Ellis Island, where she is held pending the decision of the Secretary of Labour on her appeal from exclusion. “If it were, all the English nobility would be in gaol. And if England had the same entrance laws as America I don't think many American women would get in.” Commissioner Curran, who ordered an investigation on the occasion of the admission of the Earl of Craven, explained that the Earl, a married man. was not asked the same questions as were put to the Countess, a divorcee.
