MADRID, Nov. 23.-The King of
Portugal has banished the Crown Prince
Louis to Villa Vcoso, a royal residence

to the dictatorship was well known, rep
resented TO his father the inadvisability
of continuing the present method Of
government, which, he said is turning
Portugal into hotbed of Republicans
and Anarchists. and which might end
in the overthrow of the monarchy. King
Carlos greatly ncensed, ordered the
crown prince into what is practically
exile from the capital.
The Kings action has caused great
sensation throughout the country. 1t

THAW TRIAL POSTPONED
Until January-Both Sides in
Agreement.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2J.-Harry Ken
rail- Thaw's hopes for a speedy determi-
nation of his case have once more been
shattered. His second trial for the MUIR
der of Stanford White, originally set for
one week from today has been post
poned, and there is now little chance
that it will be called until some date
late in January.
The decision to ask for postpone
ment has been agreed to by both sides.
1t is due partly to the fact that the
task of selecting a jury would be made
doubly hard by the approach of the holt
days and the prospect before the tales
men of spending both Christmas and
New Years day locked up under the
car" of court bailiffs. and also to the
fact that Thaw's counsel has applied to
the court for permission to inspect the
secret evidence presented before the
lunacy commission during the progress
of the first trial.

TO FREE MRS. R0MADKA
CHICAGOANS TO MOVE FOR NEW
TRIAL FOR WOMAN.
Believe She Was Scared Into Confession
and Railroaded to Cell in
Joliet Prison.

CHICAGO, H., Nov. 23.-[Special.
Societies devoted to psychic research
have become interested in the case of
Mrs. Evelyn Romadka, recently convict
ed and sentenced to n term of imprison
ment IN the Joliet pententiary and, ac-
cording to John Heron, who acted as
her Chicago attorney, her case may be
reopened for trial before December l,
although the woman is now confined at
Joliet.
Chief among these who are champion
lng Mrs. Romadka'a cause are DIR. Axel
Gustafson, who asserts that the woman
is possessed OF an abnormal soul, and
Rev. V. a. NJ. Mortensen, superintendent
and secretary of the Rescue League OF
Chicago. Both Of these men have con-
suited with Attorney Heron as to what
steps may be taken to have the Romadka
case opened for further investigation and
1t is believed that there will be re-
versal of Judge Brentano's decision. If
the insanity plea is used
Had to Say Guilty2
1T is my firm belief that Mrs. Ronald
ka never entered a plea of guilty of her
own violition," said Attorney Heron to-
day. There has evidently been no effort
on the part of her friends to give her
an opportunity to defend herself upon the
insanity plea and it's evident that most
extraordinary efforts were used to make
her plead guilty"
Attorney II erron said that among 9TH
er arguments used to force Mrs Ronald
ka into plea of guilty was the story of
the Thaw trial and the publicity given
to the private life of Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw.
They told her." said the lawyer.
that her relations with the negro Jones
would be aired and that both herself and
her child would be disgraced."
The attorney also said that the hor-
rors of the insane asylum had been paint
ed TO her and that she was made to
believe that life in the penitentiary was
infinitely better than being an inmate
of an institution for the insane.
'iSle is creature of suggestion" said
Attorney Heron, and the picture OF
herself in company with lunatics forced
her into the plea under which she was
gent TO the penitentary to serve n term
OF from one to twenty years. 1t is my
opinion that she will come out Of the
prison raving maniac or "A corpse
Thinks Woman Innocent.
DR.. AXel Gustafson, who was Mrs. Ro-
madka's physician up to the time of
and after her arrest i'll connection with
eight burglaries, said this morning that
Hc was HIAI Ill MS bellcL tIat lhe Nohl-
an was not guilty, but that mental sug
gestion had forced her to believe that
she had committed crimes, which to her
would have been absolutely impossible.
Application has bean made to DIR.
Gustafson by the American Society for
Psychical Research and Institute for Sci
entifc Research of New York for com
plcte history of the case. He says he
will bend every effort toward interest
ing the societies in movement toward
securing her release.
According to Attorney Heron there
is yet a possibility of securing a new
trial. Application must be made be-
fore December, however. if anything is
to be done toward reversing the WON
ans sentence.
