LONDON, May 15.-Sir Ro- ger Basement was placed on trial this morning in the Bow Street police court, charged with high treason. The an- nouncement that the trial was to take place caused much com ment as last week the state ment was issued, apparently be- ing official, that Sir Roger would be placed in solitary con fnement for the remainder of his life, without a trial.
 Daniel Julian Bailey, a pri- vate soldier, whose home is in Wembley, near London, was al- so jointly charged with Sir Roger with high treason. The latter's connection with the Sim Feiners has not, so far, been made public.
 The informal charge against Sir Roger and Bailey says that, neither has any occupation and no affixed abode. Both defend ants are charged as follows.
 ''For what they did between the first day of November, 1914 and on divers other occasions between that day and April 2L 1916; they did unlawfully ma liciously and traitorously com init high treason within and without the realm of England in contempt of Our Sovereign, the King and his laws; they set an evil example to others, contrary to duty and allegiahce of the said defendants
 The police court hearing to- day is merely a preliminary to the real trial. This trial will take place later before a pan el of judges of the High Court of Justice.
