Ferguson, colored, re- cently convicted of manslaughter, in connection with the death of Andrew C. Davis, at the Soldiers’ Home, Sep- tember 2.

Frederick the Great Had Affair With Italian Dancing Girl. By the Associated Press. BUDAPEST, February 26.—Prince Carol's row with Queen Marie and renunciation of the succession to the Rumanian throne is no novelty in European royal families, to most of 1 s related either by blood or_marriage. The king business has palled on a good many heirs to important Euro- pean thrones. Even Frederick the Great made an effort in his youth to escape from Prussia and the harsh treatment his father, King Frederick Willlam 1. His effort to get away to England was frustrated by his father, who had two of his son’s ac- tomplices executed. But Frederick the Great's affair wih Barberina, the Italian dancer, after he had ascended the throne of Prussia was kept under far better control than the love affairs of Prince Carol. When Frederick suspected the dancer was mixing in politics he dis- missed her from the court. Ludwig T Prominent Example. Ludwig I of Bavaria told his cabinet he would rather give up his throne than break off relations with I Montez, the dancer. One of Ludwi ministries was Iled the “ terium” because Lola named {t and directed affairs of state at will. She finally lost her political hold and had to flee. A little later Ludwig had to surrender his throne to his son because of the scandal. Lola Montez became a wanderer, ap- pearing on the stage in most world capitals. Her notoriety, however, soon lost drawing power and she died in obscurity and was burled in Brooklyn. Princess Louise of Baxony, tired of PRINCE CAROL OF RUMANIA. life at the Dresden court, eloped with the French tutor of her sons, M. Gi- ron, in December, 1902. Two years later her husband succeeded to the throne of Saxony as King Frederick Augustus III. Like Prince Carol of Rumania, she apparently was not con- stant in her love. She divorced the Frenchman and married an Itallan musician, whom she also divorced. She now is living in straitened cir- cumstances in Belgium. Princess Deserts Husband Princess Loulss of Belglum, dled at Wiesbaden In 1924, Prince Phillp of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, but deserted him in favor of an Aul trian cavalry officer. This apparently was a true love affair, as Princess Loulse endured poverty with Capt. Mat- tasich and nursed him during his final {llness In Paris, a short time before her own death. She tried, without suc- who d STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1926. cess, to break the will of her father, Leopold 11, who left much of his property to his mistress, the Baroness Vaughan. Grand Duke Cyril, the Romanoff who holds court at Coburg and has solemply been proclaimed Czar of all the Russins by his faithful White Russian followers, figured in a divorce case which his opponents insist would disqualify him for the Russian throne should the Soviet government be replaced by a monarchy. Grand Duchess Divorces Husband. The Grand Duchess Cyril, born a princess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, was first married to the Grand Duke of Hesse, whom she divorced to marry the Russlan nobleman. The Austrian archduke, John Nepo- muck Balvador, repounced all his titles and took command of a safling ship. He is supposed to have been drowned off the coast of South Amer- ica fn 1891, but there have been numerous rumors that he is still allve. At one time he was report- ed to have been-seen in Denver.
