PRINCESS ALEXANDRIA'S TRIAL
She Is-Accused of Obtaining Millions
of Dollars by Fraud.

Berlin, Feb. 1.-The trial of Prin-
cess Alexandria of Isenburg, who has
recently been living at Stuttgart in
poverty, and is accused of grave finan-
cial frauds, begun today. The trial
gives promise of eclipsing in interest
even the Whitaker Wright trial in
London, and the amount of money in
volved reaches into the millions. In
fact when the princess went into bank
ruptcy last September she estimated
her debts at not less than SIS, 200, 900,
and her creditors openly charged that
more than half of this sum was obtain
ed by fraud.
The princess has had a remarkable
career. She was first married to her
cousin and upon his death she espoused
plebeian named Pagendard. By the
use of her influence, and it was rumor-
ed, a portion of her vast wealth, the
princess succeeded in securing for him
the title Of baron.
This marriage marked the turning
point in her career. She had an i'm.
mense fortune, but both she and her
newly made baron were of an extrava-
CANT disposition, and they made the
money fly. Their reckless, spendthrift
habits led them to squander all of
their cash in a space of seven years
and, when the money was gone, she
and her husband began to quarrel bit
terly, and, despite the fact that they
had seven children he promDtly de.
serted her, and they have secured di.
vorce by mutual agreement. The prin
cess then endeavored to retrieve he1
fortune by extensive speculation, but
these all ended unsuccessfully.
Subsequently, she fell into the hands
of merciless usurers, who feeced he1
of the remnants of her possessions.
She then borrowed extensively, and, il
is alleged, floated a large quantity of
fraudulent paper. The result is the
predicament she finds herself in today.

WATCHING THE CHINESE
OFFICIALS KEEPING A SHARP
LOOKOUT FOR IMMIGRANTS, AS
FRAUDULENT CERTIFICATES
ARE NUMEROUS.

R. F. Davis, immigration and Chinese
inspector, returned today from Duluth,
where he has been investigating the
case Of Fung Fong Lum, a Chinaman
arrested at Cloquet, Mimi, charged with
having a fraudulent certificate. Mr..
Davis was accompanied by Inspector
Ebey of Helena, Mont, and George Moy
Sing, official Interpreter from Portal,
n. D. The case was continued for ten
days.
While in Duluth warrants were sworn
out for three Cinnamon, two of them
having fraudulent certificates and one
not having any. A brother Of one of
the Cinnamon arrested, who lives in
Minneapolis, made post haste to Duluth
and rushing into the court threw his
arms around his brothers. neck and wept
at the possibility of his being deported.
Deportati ton is much more serious to
the Cinnamon than is generally sup:
posed. It means that when they get
back to China they will be virtually
slaves, as most of them have borrowed
heavily in order, that they may come tc
this country and earn their fortune:
w. D. Morse, inspector in immigra
ton, said this morning that the. only

FATHER FINDS HIS
DAUGHTER DEAD
SHE ENDS LIFE BY DRINKING
CARBOLIC ACID.
Discovery Made When He Called to
Awaken Her in the Morning - Grief
Over Her Mothers Death and Worry
at New Burdens Led to Tragic Act. (

Despondent over the death of her
mother year ago and the RESPONSE.
bility that fell upon her as the head Of
a family, Minnie Schneider, 10. years
old, committed suicide this morning by
drinking carbolic acid. The girls dead
body was found in her room at the
residence, 1924 Morgan avenue n, by
her father, who went to awaken her.
The girl is the oldest of a family of
four, and since the death of her mother
she has had the charge of the others ,
bringing up. The loss of the parent
preyed on her mind and the trouble was
increased by the cares of the household.
Deputy Coroner Murphy, after a thoro
Investigation, could find nothing else in
the girls life that would account for
the act.
The father, Julius Schneider, stone
cutter for Rentz Brothers, is distracted
over the death of the girl and the physi-
clans are worried over his condition.
For more than three years his life has
been continually filed with sorrow over
deaths in his family. Three years ago
his father was burned to death in fire
that consumed his dwelling near Lake
Harriet; last year his wife died after
lingering illness, and his friends say
he has not yet fully recovered from the
shock.

lass of 500.

A colored pursesnatcher robbed Miss
Marcia Douglass last evening at Port
land avenue and Fifteenth street, while
she was on her way to her home, 1910

Miss Douglass is a stenographer in a
downtown office and had wor ked later
than usual. AS she was hurrying along
Fifteenth street from the car line, a
large colored man came up to. her, and,
telling her to keep quiet, gripped her
wrist and wrenched away her purse. He
then hurried away: The purse con-
tanned more than 500, some keys and
several papers.
Miss Douglass gave the police good
description of the man and at noon a
negro answering the description was
brought into police headquarters. He
said his name was Arthur Johnson, and
as he is stranger to the police he will
be detained until he can give a good &C
count of his whereabouts at the time of
the robbery.
