ESCAPE OF A SINGER
Finnish Woman Revolutionist Who
Fled a Russian. Cell.
HELPED BY FRIENDLY GUARD
Miss Maria Mieler’s Songs Melted
Hearts of Her Jailers—Was In Wo
men’s Militia In Finland, but Expects
to Stay and Sing In America.
Miss Marla Mieler, an Esthonian
prima donna from Finland, after a
happy escape from a Russian prison
In St. Petersburg, where she was put
for being in sympathy with the Fin
nish revolutionary movement, has ar
rived in New York and is going to sing
and «tay in the United States, says tba
New York World. Miss Mieler has
sung ail over Finland for the benefit
of the political sufferers and took an
active part in the revolutionary move
ment. She sang last year to big revo
lutionary meetings in Helsingfors,
where her songs created a great sen
sation.
”1 am not drilled to fight in the
streets, but I will tiring you entbu i-
astn with my songs,” said Miss Mieler
to the Finnish women militia, mem
hers of the Red guard who fought
against the Russian troops. She her
self belonged to this militia, led by
Captain Kock.
The Russian revolutionists also ask
ed Miss Mieler to sing in St. Peters
burg. and a great concert was arrang
ed in the hall of the conservatory.
When Miss Mieler, after the concert,
returned to the Hotel Palais Royal,
where she was staying, nine drunken
policemen rushed into her room and
pmde a search, but found nothing.
Then they arrested her and her sister,
who had come from Moscow' for a visit
“I was put in a dark, cold and dirty!
prison cell,” said Miss Mieler. ‘‘There
was nothing to sleep on, and I walked
up and dow4f the whole night. Toward
morning I lay on the wet and dirty
floor and slept. More than twenty-
four hours I was in this ceil without
food or drink. I heard often the cry
of a woman who was being tortured
by the police, and I expected the same
torturing myself every hour. After
many requests and lamentlngs I got a
drink and a piece of black bread.
‘‘The torture of women is a common
thing In Russia, and when the police
were searching my room the officer de
manded that I undress myself for 1
search. When I refused to do so he
became angry and would have beaten
me had not the manager of the hotel
interfered. Then a maidservant was
calk'd, who searched me.
“In this dark and narrow cell I be
gan to sing the sad Russian and Finn
ish folk songs and some beautiful op
eras, and my voice resounded through
the silent prison. Not only the pris
oners became joyous and excited, but
also the warders of the prison liked it.
and they listened quietly to all my
songs. Singing usually la not permit
ted in a prison. I was told that the
chief of the prison stood silently be
hind my locked door and listened until
I finished.
“The singing saved my life, for soon
I l»egari to receive better treatment.
My cell was heated, and I got better
food than before. One of the warder-
told me that lie wept like a child when
I sang a folk song that he had beard
when he was a boy. Always when I
finished my prison recitals there were
applause and enthusiastic: shouts such
as I never received before.
“Once on a dark night a prison
guard slowly opened the iron door of
my cell and whispered that he was
willing to help me to escape, for my
songs had urged him to do for me any
thing I wl-hed. I gave him some ad
dresses of friends in the city and ask
ed him to go to them and arrange mat
ters. Among them was the son of a
•cti-
Cough Bjrup.

judge of the supreme court who ad
mired my singing, and he began to
make plans w ith the* guard.
”1 do not know how they arranged it
but It was ag; hi on a dark and stormy
right when the guard quietly openo ’
;i... door, saying. Take all your tiling
in.d follow me.’ lie led me out of 1h
prison with my sister to where the :
of the court justice awaited us at tin
pr'«ou g 'd s. Ho told me that he tok
pV koI to the prison i-fflce, where* tha
.light the friendly guard was on duty,
that by order of the chief of police I
nn I be release 1 immediately, as ip
arrest was a mistake.
Tlerpol e as thor .h he himself v ei

d to froe me. He escorted me to II ■
Fi inish railroad station and introdu
el ire there to another friend, wl
was disguised as a policeman. I wo
io Finland and the second day aft
my release gave a recital in Yibor.
The- hall was crowded. 1 gave sonie
other recitals until the Finnish go
emor told me that the Russian polk-
were again hunting me and advised
me to leave Finland immediately. I
decided to come to America, for It Is a
free country, and here I will sing of
the great and heroic Finnish women
who make the laws and fight In the
streets. I will sing the songs of the
Finnish composers, which are not
known In this country.”
Miss Mieler Is Intending to show In
her recitals the chains with which she
was bound for her efforts to gain lib
erty for her native land. She has stud
led four years in the conservatory in
Dresden and two years In Berlin with
Etelka Oerster.
“The most advanced women in the
world are the Finnish women,” she
said, “and the most original music ie
the Finnish music, with which I am
going to make Americana acquainted.’’
