HONOUR OF WOMEN.
MUST BE PROTECTED.
A LENIENT GOVERNMENT.
[PRESS ASSOCIATION. —COPYRIGHT.] Capetown, Feb. 8. Replying to members of the Union Assembly, General Hertzogg stated that the reports of assaults on the Rand were exaggerated. The Government did not intend to instruct the judges to inflict the death penalty for attempted assaults. A WISE RESOLVE. Over 5000 persons attended a meeting of the Wanderers’ Club, Johannesburg, and resolved that the honour of the white women must be protected; that the penalty for attempted rape should be death; that increased police protection was imperative; and that there should be a gradual elimination of male natives as domestics. PAKALONGA OUTRAGE. In the Pankalonga outrage the native came to the door pretending to be a messenger, and forced admission. He seized the lady of the hoqse, but after a desperate struggle the lady freed herself and procured a revolver, shooting her assailant dead.
