A Sentry Thought She Was a Mille * taut Suffragette. London, May 20. -Princess Mary was arrested as a suffragette while at Aldershot recently. with the King and Queen. The Princess went be- fore breakfast to ;the aircraft, en- closure in order to take some. elio- togr'aphs. The public is absolutely excluded from this enclosure, and a sentry immediately placed the Prin- eess .under arrest, refusing to be - neve -her claim to be the Princess, and expressing with soldierly plain- ness of speech his conviction that she was a suffragette. She was de- tained for a quarter of an hour in the enclosure before an officer who knew her happened to pass 'and es- corted her to the King's quarters. Another Jury Declares That be Hired Gunmen to Kill Rosenthal MILITANTS ARE BLAMED. Fire Broke Out Near Where Icing and Queen Were Staying. A despatch from Aldershot, Eng- land, says: A serious fire, sup- posedly of suffragette origin, on Wednesday, broke out in the long: valley close by the Royal pavilion, where King George and Queen Mary are staying for the Manoeu- vres. Their Majesties had left the pavilion when the blaze was dis- covered. The fire was extremely difficult to eonxbat and was not ex- tinguished for a considerable time. When the King and Queen left the pavilion two suffragettes -were seen at the entrance waving "votes for women" banners. • FOUR MEN KILLED ON STIP. N ;w York, May 22. -For. the 'see and time Charles Becker,. forlmcr, ,police lieutenant of the New York force, was convicted to -day of the murder of Berman Rosenthal. The jurors. were in absolute agreement on their 'first. ballet after only 40 nliiiutes of actual deliberation. They could have saved Becker's life even in finding him guilty if they had .wanted to slow mercy. Mr. Justice Seabury had told them, they could choose among three degrees of murder, and two of these 'degrees would have meant imprisonment. But like 24 men who had gone• be- fore them, the first Becker jury and the gm -omen's jury, they believed that Jack Rose told the truth when he; said that 73ecker ordered, ar- ranged and paid for the assassina- tion of the gambler who was about to ruin him. There was only one other murder case ni the history of rthe State in which a second conviction was ob- tained after the Court of Appeals had reversed the first verdict. The almost unbroken record of mis- trials and acquittals in such con- tinued prosecutions as Becker's was what, made the verdict to -day so srhoeking, a disappointment to Beck- er and leis counsel. They had hoped for acquittal. They builded posi- tively upon a disagreement. But they never thought there was a ehance in the world that twelve men, after the Court of Appeals decision, would ever send Becker to the. chair. The swiftness of the jury's action was the thing that intensified the Vessel Was Participating in Naval Manoeuvres at the Time.

Blears His Doom.. The jurors seated themselves at 4.54 p.m., and waited for the 'jus- tice. A minute later Justice Sea - bury was .on the bench Clerk Penny raised his voice. "Charles Becker to the bar." One glance was: all that was need- ed to see that Becker had himself under magnificent control. There; was confidence and hope shining in his eyes. Coolly, without haste, he studied the face. of every man in the box. Not one of them met his eyes. Clerk Penny bent toward the foreman and slowly asked the cus- toma.ry question : "Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon your verdict" "Guilty as charged in the indict- went," Foreman Blagden breathed more than spoke. Justice Seabury, after brief con- sideration, announced that Becker was remanded to the Tombs until May 29, when he will be- sentenced. The jurors were in agreement that. the evidence justified convic- tion for murder in the first degree on the first ballot. 1 L N WENT INSANE. ,Jumped in grater to Save Mother and Daughter.
