iloorich Bandit Has
Again Offered to Surrender
Washington, Feb. 11.?Raisuli, the
Moorish bandit who has Just again offered
to surrender to the Spanish military
forces which are pushing an active
campaign against him in Morocco,
is the man who once drew the
United States into action in that vexed
corner of the world.
He figured in that celebrated incident
when Secretary of State Johr
Hny demanded "Perdiearis alive 01
Kaisuli dead."
That was 17 years ago, in 1904. Raisuli
had captured Ion Perdiearis, r
naturalized American citizen and kept
him prisoner. President Roosevelt
sent a fleet of eight American war vessels
stripped for action into Tangiei
Harbor while John Hay sent his famous
message to the feeble Sulton in
nominal command there.
Raisuli, who now says he is "too fat
to fight" had long been a leader of
the wild tribesmen who have frequently
swamped the trained battnlions of
r. civilized power.
Perdiearis, a wealthy man, was
r?rncJ/1nnf nf flin
^AVU?UV?>V VI. VUV uuiuficail WVIllllllOOlUIl
administering affairs in Tangier City
in 1904. He has told the story of his
capture and it was recounted some
time ago in a National Geographic
Society Bulletin. He was snatched
out of his summer home by Raisuli's
raiders, and borne off to a mountain
stronghold.
From there, the chieftain proceeded
to open up negotiation with the
Sultan of Morocco, Perdicaris' family,
and eventually in indirect fashion with
the American government, concerning
the price to be paid for his captive.
The United States cut short the chaffering
in the fashion described. The
Sultan, panic-stricken, sent $70,000
in silver to Saisuli, appointed him
governor of a district, turned loose
some of his friends from Tangier
jails, and incarcerated some of Raisuli's
enemies in their place. Perdicaris
later returned to the United
States to express his thanks.
Prosperity, however, came close to
ruining his erstwhile captor, Raisuli.
He got into a quarrel with the Sultan
f.bout his governorship, was thrown
out, and promptly retaliated by bearing
off for ranson Kair Sir Henry
McLean, British commander of the
Moroccoan army. He arrayed his
tribesmen for battle, and descended
upon the coast, doing much damage to
European interests, and in 1907, succeeded
in setting all the hair-triggers
ir European diplomacy.
The French navy bombarded one
of his captive towns, Casablanca, the
now practically extinct Kaiser Wilhelm
came to bat sniffing undue
French expansion in prospect, but the
matter was straightened out in a
council chamber instead of of a bat
tlefield. Raisuli was chased back to
his mountain fastness, but news dispatches
every few years record another
of his eruptions.
"In many respects the man Interested
and attracted me in spite of all
my natural motives for dislike," Perdicaris
says of Raisuli in the Geographic
Society's report. "Raisuli was gracious
and dignified, not to us only, but
to his own wild adherents, who evidently
idolized their chieftain, whose
position among them seemed that of a
head of a highland clon in olden times.
He was quick to see the humorous
aspect of a situation, while his repartee
was as immediate and to the point
as though he had been bom in the
county Galway.
"I found myself unconsciously accepting
his contention that he was
not a mere brigand or cattle-lifter,
but a patriot strugglingto lift his
Pcrber followers from the tyranny of
corrupt officials. His charm of voice,
the natural poise and dignity of his
nanncr, his self-ontrol under provocation,
all betrayed a superior character."
Perdicaris remarks that "Raisuli
could not bear to hear a child cry,"
but there a fiercer background for the
tibesman's motivation. Cromwell Vasley,
step-son to Perdicaris, was cracked
over the head in the raid on the
American's summer home, and both
men were forced to ride many miles In
tight bonds.
"It was in connection with the framing
of the ultimatum 'Perdicaris alive
or Daisuli dead' that a trusted correspondent
of The Associated Press in
Washington is concerned." The Geographic
Society Bulletin remarks, "Being
entrusted with preparing a message
for Presdent Roosevelt to sign,
Mr. Hay did so, and submitted it to
his friend, the newspaperman, for his
opinion. 'Well, it may be diplomatic
lut the Sulton will never get you ir
the midst of all those words,' was ir
effect the newspaperman's verdict
'Why not say what >ou mean, and no
more, Mr. Secretary? Perdicaris alive
or Raisuli dead.'
"The secretary agreed. President
Roosevelt approved. And the Sultar
so far 'got' this succint American demand
that he abandoned all usual
oriental indirection."
The French government will erecl
< a monument to the last American soldier
killed in action in the world war
The American Legion will determim
the name of the soldier.

Want U. S. Shipping

Budapest, Feb. 11.?U. Grant Smitl
the United States charge d'affaires i
Hungary, is making representations t
the Hungarian government that tli
United States Shipping Board's lim
should be included among the license
shipping companies.
Before the war, Hungary exercise
a preferential treatment by which a
most all emigration traffic was in th
hands of the Cunard line and attempt
to restore this policy have been mad
since the war.
Frank E. Ferris, of the Unite

government, and it is expected tha
equal treatment will be secured fo
the United States lines in the nea

"Made In Germany"

Berlin, Feb. 11.?The trademark
"Made in Germany" soon may b
stamped again on German expor
wares, for the agitation to revive thi
trademark, which was known in thre
fourths of the market cities of th
world before the war, has been in
creasing in industrial and commei
cial circles.
Arguments that the anti-Germa:
sentiment which resulted in wide
spread boycotts following the war i
subsiding and that many merchant
would welcome the trademark hav
had noticeable influence with mane
facturers, who are now investigatin
the probable result of its renewe
use.
It is almost certain the words wi
shortly be used for articles whic
cannot be imitated or for which thor
are no substitutes in other countrie:
Some of the reports, said to hav
been received from foreign mei
chants say many would welcome th
sign again if only to prevent trades
men from selling German goods r
higher prices than necessary, undt
the representation that they wei
made in Switzerland, America, Enj
land or elsewhere.
It is known that immediately aft<
the war the German merchants an
manufacturers made use of the Swit
to market German made wares whi<
were boycotted.
Advocates of the "Made in Ge

If Russia Comes Back
y Her"~Women" Will Do It 1
r_ Suizran on the Volga, Feb. 10.?rif
|n Russia ever amounts to anything At
^ will be through the organization of
her women which has not yet taken
place, declared a sprightly, merry lit?
/ tie woman to the correspondent on the
n through train from Tashkent, in Turkestan,
to Moscow. Before the revolu^
tion she had borne the title of princess.
. "I hate Russian men," she went on.
>o "They are wishy-washy. They have
given us a lond made of nitehevo (it
doesn't matter) aftra (tomorrow) ju
nieznayu, (I don't know) and avos
j (perhaps)."
j She had been to Tashkent to speculate
in gold. Everybody had to do
something to live nowadays.
She was the wife of a Mussulman,
' once owning thousands of acres of
'r land with an income of $100,000 n
I year.
She had warned him to get out of
^ Russia, three years ago, sell his lands,
but he was obstinate and now he was
e wandering she knew not where, both
U he and she were separated from their
children and she had nearly died in n
Soviet prison.
? Taking ono thing with another, she
didn't regret her sufferings and losses.
' It had taught her a lot. She had
's known court life, that of Paris and
:e London. Now the revolution had
dropped her into nbject poverty.
She was tired of the struggle. The
IS prison had broken her spirit. I.ike
s many Russians, she was morallv bank
riipt. She had had her fling in poli?
tics and at time had a lot Of fun at it.
She wanted to get abroard but she
T~ wondered if she could ever settle down
y in a calmer atmosphere; she had be10
come so used to excitement.
Some of her family had been exeie
cuteed through the efforts of another
>e woman politician and she had tried to
>' have that woman and her husband executed
in their turn. It had been a
struggle between the Reds and the
Mussulmans of the Caspian Sea counts
try. The Reds had won and she was
made a prisoner l?y the woman she
h, had tried to have executed. It was
in Kismet.
;o Rather than satisfy her woman en10
emy, she had tried to commit suicide
is in the Cheka prison by taking an
'd overdose of cocaine. It had failed.
She had been put on the prison train
d and shipped North, with several hun1
dreds of others, destined to an Archie
rngel prison, after the Soviet manner
-s of locking up people in places distant
le from their people and homes. She
had to sell even down to her underd
clothes to get food.
'o Fortunately, she was able to make
n herself ill. She put snow on her chest,
'e caught cold and then the typhus, and
had to be put off at a wayside hospital.
There a sister of charity recogr
ized and befriended her and she was
brought back to a semblance of health, (
and through friends in Moscow was
finally freed. How long her present
i freedom would last she couldn's say.
She knew she could not endure a secIt
ond imprisonment, not even for a
e week, so she carried about her enough
t cocaine to defeat the prison,
s Meanwhile she was working, trying |
o to keep afloat. She had sold mo.it of |
e her old jewels, and things. Sometime ? j
i- she did odd jobs as a seamstress,
sometimes she went to the country
and brought in baskets of eggs ^o sell,
n Just now she was prospering. She
!- was sending money to her children,
s She had stored away some family jew;s
els in a distant place to keep them as

(r Parisians Won Money
<1 On Recent Prize Fight
ll Paris, Feb. 4.?Five hundred Pali
risians who went to London to see the
e Carpentier-Cook bout are reported to
s. have returned to Paris with many
e English pounds steiTing after all exr
penses had been paid. They found
i;? it difficult to plate money before the
i- fight, followers of Cook asking odds
it of four to one, according to the state?r
ment of one of the French party. Most
e of the money was wagered between
r. the second and the third round. Carpentier
had been consistently giving
!r ground during the first two rounds,
id Cook many times having the French
?s man against the ropes giving the imh
pression of greater strength.
After the bell sounded at the finish
r_ of the second round, a prominent
,c "boulevardier"?a close friend of
LS Descamps?arose and shouted: "Five
rc hundred pounds even Carpentier wips
lo inside six rounds." Throughout the
v arena at once there was an exchange
-j. of accepting nods ranging from 100 to
500 pounds sterling.
The rest i3 pugilistic history. The
fight seemed to begin at the tap of
the bell for the third round and it was
a much humbler Cook who went to his
corner after the third round.
A noble lord impressed by the showing
made by Cook in the first two
rounds is said to have dropped ?1,000
coincident with the dropping of Cook
for the final count in the fourth round.

First Bible Printed
In The United States
Chicatro. Feb. 13.?-The first HRihle
printed in. the UriitAi States sprang
directly from a national solicitation
of funds in Englandl and Wales in a
manner somewhat akin to the Liberty
Loan drives, according to George B
Utley, librarian of the Newberry Li
brary here. The library has both
the lirst American Bible and the Act
of the English Parliament which led
to it.
This Bible was a translation into
the tongue of the Massachusetts Indians.
For years John Eliot, a Puritan
fleeing from persecution who
landed eleven years after the May
Mower, hail been sending back to England
reports about missionary sue
cess among the indi&ns.
When the Puritans came into pow
er he found a friendly government,
and in 1649, within six months after
Charles 1 was executed, when Cromwell
was supreme, Parliament passed
"An Act for promoting and propagating
the Gospel in New England."
This created a corporation consist
ing of 16 Londoners, which thereafter
carried on this work.
But more especially it ordered "a
generul collection in all the countries,
. a I f
Lilies, towns unu parisues ui
land and Wales." It required the
ministers to read the act to their congregations
and instructed them, with
others, to "go with all convenient
speed from house to house to every
one of the inhabitants of the said
parishes and places respectively, and
to take the subscription of every person
in a schedule to be presented to
them for that purpose and accordinly
at the same time to collect and gather
the same."
Better education of the Indians was
also named among the purposes of
the corporation. Twenty-five years
later there were four Indian towns
with schools in Massachusetts and
"the praying Indians" there numbered
4,900.
This collection ordered by parliament
brought in about 11,000 pounds
it is reported.
Fourteen years later, in 1663, Eliot
finished the first complete Bible printed
in the Western hemisphere. Its
title page bears the lines, "At the
charge and with the consent of the
Corporation in England for the Promotion
of the Gospel amongst the
Indians in New England."
The place of printing was Cambridge,
Mass., where 23 years before
Eliot had helped compile the Bay
,Psalm book, the first book to come
off the press, in what is now the
United States.

Mutual Welfare League
Reformatory Organization
Frankfort, Feb. 11.?Sol FlemV.g,
who i? serving his second life sentence
for murder, vhas retired from the
presidency of the Mutual Welfare
League, an organization of prisoners
in the State Reformatory here.
The league, while conceived by the
superintendent, largely is the creature
of Fleming's constructive efforts. The
league is charged with providing ree-1
| reation for the inmates of the prison,
looks after the amusements and establishes
a standard of conduct for
its members, demanding that they
maintain the standard if they enjoy
its benefits.
Fleming, the former president, and
who still devotes much time and study
to the league, has the unusual record
nf nnw enrvinir Viic oiw/m/1 If" " "?>
tcnce for murder. lie was pardoned
while serving; his first sentence. In
101 f> he again killed a man and again
received a life sentence.
The welfare feature of the league
lias Fleming's chief interest. It looks
after the dependents of its members,
cares for its members when they are
sick, l?y providing delicacies and pays
funeral expenses if they or any of
their dependents die.
' It helps the men to know that their
families are being cared for," Fleming
says, "and will keep many a wife
faithful until her husband gets out, in
my opinion. A woman with dependent
children and her husband in here has
a hard outlook."
Tangible achievements in the year
of the league's existence are considered
remarkable by the superintendent.
Notwithstanding the fact that a
large maority of the prisoners practically
are destitute, their league has
spent in cash $2,1100 improving the
baseball diamond, $850 for band uniforms
and instruments, $1,500 on its
commissary and office fixtures, and
has accumulated about $500 worth of
stage properties. These purchases
were made possible by the operation
of a store by the prisoners.
United States is
"Land of Promise"
Buenos Aires, Feb. 10.?The United
States may be the "land of promise"
for European immigrants but it is
not the only land in the Western
Hemisphere where promises of riches
for the humble who labor have been
fulfilled. A local newspaper has just
published a list of immigrants or
descendants of immigrants from
Italy number 111 whose combined fortunes
gained in Argentina are estimated
to exceed 1,000,000,000 pesos,
or $424,000,000 in American money.
The list was published in connection
with the forthcoming inauguration of
a 5,000,000 peso clubhouse which the
Italian colony of Buenos Aires has
erected.
Italians in Argentina are prominent
ir all branches of activity but to a
large extent in industrial enterprises,
some of the most important of which
arc controlled by them.

Lamona Breed Makes
First Public Appearance
The I.anmiia, the new white-egg
laving general-purpose fowl originated
and be'ng developed l>} t ie Cfwted
States Department of Agriculture,
made its first public appearance at
the Madison Square Garden Ron ry
Show, held in New York from January
25 to J'.o, where 15 of the birds
v. ere shown in the open classes. In
addition to the Lnmonas, and other
government-bred fowls of standard
breeds, the department put on an extensive
exhibit consisting of models
of poultrv houses, a disnlnv of
era of the standard breeds, appliances
such as feed hoppers, brood coops, and
a fattening battery. A series of panels,
made up of photographs, charts,
and placards, showed the more important
standard breeds, the feeding
of hens for egg production, the preparation
of birds for exhibition, the advantages
of early hatching, the improvement
resulting from the use of
a high quality sire, capons and cuponizing,
culling the farm flock, and the
pedigree breeding of poultry.
A number of department representatives
took part in the program of
the show and gave information to the
visitors concerning the educational exhibit.
They reported an extraordinary
interest on the part of the public and
various poultry breeders in the Lamona
breed, many persons desiring to
obtain breeding birds. The department
believes it necessary to perfect
them still more as regards certain
characteristics, and it is not likely
that any will be for sale during the
coming year.
I Well, that sounds hopeful. Perhaps
it is on the up-grade.
