Drama of Gold . Rush Revealed

President** Pardon of Vuco Perovich Bares Story of Strange Life. Kansas City. Mo—When President Coolidge granted absolute freedom to Vuco Perovich the other day he ended a drama of the gold rush which reads almost like fiction. Behind bars 21 years and In the shadow of the gallows, Perovtch’s spectacular battle for liberty was ended by the Executive pardon. He has not been bitter over the misfortune Fate has heaped upon him. And now. at forty years of age, owner of two barber shops in Rochester, he sees a happy future. Some day he will visit his fatherland, Montenegro, where his father was a nobleman. He was released from the federal prison November 6. 1926 by Judge John C. Pullock, of the Kansas Federal court, on a writ of habeas corpus. His plea was unusual; he asked freedom or death. If his plea had been slewed he would have been taken back to Alaska and hanged according to a eourt decree there. His argument was based on his derlared Innocence of a murder for which he was convicted. The murder was In 1904. At that time he could ’ lot speak English. It was his contention that death would be preferable to an innocent man than a cruel Imprisonment. Judge Pollock held with him, rul--1 ng the President of the United States In 1909, William Howard Taft, had no right to commute the death sentence imposed on Perovich by' the Alaskan court without the consent of the accused. In his decision, however. Judge Pollock declared justice would not be served by sending Perovich to the gallows after he had served twenty-one years In jail and prison. That point was not decided. President Taft was a«ked to commute sentence after Perovich had been In jail four years. He did this by Executive order. Perovich was taken to the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., to pass the rest of his life. There the young nobleman studied American laws and customs, mastering both language and law. He came across the legal point which proved to be the sesame for his recent release. He applied to the court and George Mcl>ennotL a Kansas lawyer, was appointed to represent him. Then cfhne the presentation of facts In the case. Strangely, time had shifted characters in this drama so that former President Taft was now chief justice of the United States and was called upon to pass upon the legality of his own Executive order that saved Perovich from the gallows. Last May the court held against Judge Pollock, and McDermott and Perovich shaped their application for a pardon from Presldem Coolidge. Early Life Was One of Ease. Few of the romantic novels ever written about Imaginary principalities !n Europe are dotted with stranger and more unusual circumstances than have entered Into I’erovlch’s life. His father was chief justice In Montenegro and a friend of King Nicholas. His mother was of the royal family. As a child Perovich played with the royal children and no exj»ense was spared in his education. At fifteen he could speak eight Slavic dialects and Spanish, French and Italian. A few years later Russia and Turkey became Involved In one of the Balkan wars and he enlisted In the Russian army. The youngest officer In the army, he was decorated for bravery and com-

WHISTLING GIRL “TALKS” TO BIRDS IN HER TEXAS HOME

— Feathered Warbler* Give Dally Serenadee for Mlm Dorothy McFarland of Dallaa Dallas, Texas.—From early childhood Mita Dorothy McFarland, eeven-teen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mr*. Dwight McFarland of Dallaa, has been talking to birds. She comes nearer understanding the meanings of songs and notes of the many different kinds of birds that she has about her than any other living person, her friends declare. By imitating the calls of birds she quickly makes friends with them and they come in great flock* to her home and serenade her each day. Miss McFarland is a pupil at North Dallas high school and she frequently has delighted her schoolmates with her Imitations of songs and call* of birds. Dorothy doesn't know when she began her childish pastime of “talking" to the birds

( missioned a lieutenant When war was over he desired to join a brother who had come to America. Reports of gold in Alaska also attracted him and finally he obtained permission to come. In Alaska he met an American prost pector named Sam. Perovich could only speak a few words of English. , They found • claim from which they took $14,000 worth of gold. Then went to Fairbanks, Alaska, to buy machinery so they could take out gold in greater quantities. One day while Perovich was standing in the door of a saloon in Fairbanks his partner came staggering to* him. wounded and bleeding. “Our claim has been jumped.” Sam muttered. Perovich said recently he hurried back to their cabin and found three men there, "Ift x asked for his clothes and other belongings. Answering, the men drew knives and started to attack him. He was six feet tall, weighed 295 pounds and upas toughened by months of hard labor. Seizing a huge board, he fought them off and finally obtained his clothes. A few days later he was arrested on a charge of-assault. He was given to understand an assault charge meant little in Alaska. Accused of a Murder. While he was in jail pending the outcome of the assault charge, he declares the three men accused him of the murder of an old prospector at a wood chopper’s camp to which Perovich had moved after the fight. These witnesses, he declared, produced clothing said to have belonged to the old man and accused Perovich of having threatened to kill the old prospector. The cabin in which the prospector lived was burned and the accusers charged Perovich had murdered him and had burned the cabin to conceal the crime. Before Perovich knew what it was all about he was charged with murder. The members of the jury were quick to believe the accusers. It was

chargeU .in the prosecution thut Pero vich’s lack of knowledge of English was only a pretense and that accusation prejudiced the jury against him. He was convicted. Then the question arose in the minds of those whe reviewed the case that the testimony of the three men might have been prejudiced. After President Taft commuted hiß sentence, Perovich became one of the lost legion in the Alaskan gold rush. He heard of his brother who bad made a fortune in Alaska and was returning to Montenegro to be married. Perovich refused his brother's offer to forego his marriage and spend his fortune to obtain freedom. His brother went t® Europe and never returned, abandoning the case as hopeless after receiving the decisions of the courts. Released on the habeas corpus plea, Perovich went to Rochester and bought a barber shop with a small initial payment. Before long he had paid for It, and purchased another. Now he has the latter shop cleared and owns a motor car. Besides his brother who amassed wealth in Alaska, Perovich had three other brothers. They were killed tn the World war. Their widows, with eight children, are living In Minnesota. Virtually all the money Perovich earned from special work while he acted as prison interpreter was sent to the widows to support the children. His lawyer estimated that he had sent them almost $2,000. Magpies Know When Poison Is in Food Del Norte, Colo.—lt has been observed that after a spell of poisoning magpies there follows a period of about three weeks'when none of the robbing, death-dealing birds are killed. This has raised the question in the mind of Extension Agent T. G. Stewart of Rio Grande county: “Do magpies forget?” For a time at the beginning of the campaign, magpies take arsenic readily. Then there is a period of abstinence, followed by a renewal of results. Stewart believes that another flock of magpies coming from a new locality where news of the arsenic has not reached are responsible for the renewal of deaths. Those versed in bird lore, however, say the new victims probably are members of the old flock who have forgotten the fate of the other birds, and pay with their lives for this slip of memory. The United States biological survey has declared war on the devastating magpie family.

Holds Breath 14 Minutes; Student Sets New Record Middletown. Conn—A Wesleyan senior. Earl L. Gaylor of Cllftondale, Mass., has established a new world’s record by holding his breath for fourteen minutes and two seconds. The previous record was for ten minutes and ten seconds and was made at the University of California In 191 G. Professor Edward L. Schneider ot the biology department at Wesleyan vouches for the authenticity of the test. He declares that a graphic record of chest and diaphragm motion over the entire period showed that at no time could air have been taken into the lungs. Oxygen was dsed by Mr. Gaylor In preparing ' for the test. He first breathed excessively over a short period in order to rid the blood ot carbon dioxide. He then took three deep breaths of oxygen, the last ot which he held for the record time.

A visit to a local bird store found Dorothy McFarland able to make friends with even the shyest canary and the most captious critic among the parrot*. “Birds like to be noticed, just like humans." she said, “and they know when you love them and when you are just fooling them. Some day I’m going to have costumes just like the canaries and the gorgeous macaws and TH give sueb fine Impersonations that Dallas wiU be proud of me yat"

The writer who makes the dot low Is content to look at things close at hand. Little vision Is found in this writer but'he Is always a good reasoner. When i dots are made to the left of the upright the writer is always found to be slow or behind time. He is hesitant and fearful inwardly, although he might not realize it himself. If the dots are made to the right in the shape of a dash, the writer will be found to be rapid in mental action and always ready to take action before the other fellow thinks of it. These writers are usually ahead of time and Impatient and restless. If dots are made in a triangular shape, the writer Is mathematicaL Is He Sympathetic? There are many people who talk about sympathy, and spend much time In prating about their religion, but the truly sympathetic person is one who . does, // and usual 1 y /f spends // so much actual time in doing things for others that there is s small time for much flourlsh- “ J ' ing talk about No Terminals. Words Crowded. Stinqy The truly sympathetic person is then one with the actual helping hand, whether he ever goes to church or not. Truly sympathetic persons may hide their good deeds, or refuse to talk of them because they are so natural, but their writing reveals the helping hand In terminals of their words which will sometimes curt upward—more often upward than downward. Those whose terminals after words are cut short, or are absent, are not the ones who are called upon in time of need, for they are not ready to give out —to “extend” help any more than they extend their words. The kind and sympathetic person usually writes with broad lower bases to his letters; that is. the n*s and m’s will be broad at the base so , that they will resemble u’s. The very self-sacrificing person will also often pen a capita! M with the second stroke higher than thp first. The vertical writer will be a helper, but the writer with some slant to his writing will be as a rule more quick to respond to the call if the above sympathy signs are present. Is He Religious? This expression here Is not so much applied to church as It Is to appreciation of life. Does your llfe-partner-to-b® revere things that are fine and uplifting Inspirationally?
