PRISON FOR A PRINCESS
TITLED WOMAN GIVEN TWO YEARS
IN HOUSE OF CORRECTION.
Princess RadziwiII Convicted of FOrg-
ing Notes Alleged to Have Been
IndOrsed by Cecil Rhodes.

CAPE TOWN, April 3O.-Princess Radzi-
will, who has been on trial here before the
Supreme Court on the charge of forgery
in connection with notes purporting to have
been indorsed by the late Cecil Rhodes. was
sentenced to-day to two years confinement
in the House of Correction.
The attorney general made long ad-
dress. in which he cautioned the jury
against being mystified by kilograms from
''harebrained individuals like William T.
Stead and others" and alleged incriminat-
ing documents which were merely the or
dinary armament of blackmailer." Con-
tinuing, he said: Nothing could be more
gross and treacherous than the prisoner :
behavior throughout" He appealed TO the
jury to arrive at a verdict on the evidence.
which would rid society temporarily. at
least, 'of cruel and dangerous woman"
During the address of the attorney gen.
eral Princess RadziwiI drummed angriy
on the desk with her fingers and was con-
tinually engaged in writing notes and tear
ing them up.
Counsel for the defense, in addressing the
jury, denied fraudulent intention on the
part of his client and dealt upon the unre-
vealed mysteries behind the case. He ap-
pealed to the jury on the ground that no.
body had suffered by the frauds and said
that verdict of guilty would be equivalent
to hanging the princess TO the nearest
tree, for then every door in Europe would
in the future be closed against her.
Summing up, the chief justice said there
was not suggestion throughout the corre-
spOndence that Mrs. Schultz had given the
prisoner the bills as alleged. This was i'm
pOrtant, he said, because If the jury found
the accused had received the bills they
must acquit her; but If satisfied she had
used fraudulenty the name of the late
Cecil Rhodes tthey must convict her. The
contention OF the defense that one had
suffered in consequence of the fOrgeres he
declared to be untenabe He cautioned the
jury to disregard the prisoners noble birth
and antecdents and TO decide the case ac-
cOrding to strict justice. After a brief re-
tirement the jury brought in a verdict of
guilty on all the counts against her.
The chief justice then addressed the pris-
oner impressively. He referred to her
birth, her education and her position in So
clety He deplOred the two dark features
of her case, namely-the attempts To in
criminate the innocent Mr.. Schultz and
the bribing of a boy in the employ of the
pOstOffce To forge a date line on the alleged
cablegram from Is. y. Hawksley. Owing to
her delicate health the chief justice said
she would not have TO perform hard labor.
but that she would be confined for two
years in the house of correction or any
other place the governor was pleased 10
appoint. The prisoner bowed her head and
received her sentence lmly.

was absolutely no danger. but the sight of
the hremen seemed only to add fuel TO the
flame.
While the policemen and firemen were en-
deavoring to quiet the girls on the stairway
ladders were being run up on the outside
OF the building and the employees who had
climbed out onto the fire escapes and win
dow ledges were quickly taken TO the
street. After a few minutes the men were
enabled to check the awful crush on the
stairway and then began the work of
rescuing those who had been trampled and
crushed between the second and third
floors. The alarm for ambulances had been
turned In and as quick as the dead and in
jured could be carried from the building
they were hurried to hospitals. The num-
Der of ambuiances were entirely Inadequate
and patrol wagons were brought into use
to carry the victims away for trea tment.
While this was going on the scene about
the structure was heartrending. The build
ing is located in a section largely in
habited by Hebrews, many of whom were
caught in the terrible crush. Parents and
relatives of the unfortunate girls were
screaming and rushing about the streets
like mad, and 1t was almost impossible for
the police officials to restrain the mothers
and relatives of supposed victims from
The work of rescuing the girls from the
windows was necessarily tedious. They
were so excited that they did not seem to
understand the pleadings of the firemen.
At nearly every window Of the huge struc-
ture were girls. screa ming and crying for
help. Many were so excited that ii was

prevented from jumping from the building,
Notwithstanding that there was not sign
Of fire and their rescue seemed only the
work of few minutes.
The panic was over in less than half an
hour, but in this brief space thousands of
persons had been attracted to the scene
by the wild screams of the relatives of the
victims and the shrieks of the girls at the
windows. Because of the great excitement
it was almost impossible TO get an inteIli-
gent idea of the disaster, and it was three
hours after the accident occurred before
single victim was identified.

opinion AguinaldO was ''the lncarna tion Of

General Macarthur said the disparity be

fact that the Filipinos knew nothing Of

Senator Patterson wanted TO know if. as

General Macarthur denied that this was
so. saying that since the affair has reached

attacked il was in the nature of a surprise.

floor of the structure. Baccus, who was
