PAGE EIGHT THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16 MOORISH BANDIT MAY SURRENDER 10 SPANIARDS Is The Same Man Who Once, Brew the Y. S. Into Action In That Part of The World THAT WAS 17 YEARS AGO. Notwithstanding, Raisuli, Is Gracious and Dignified — Idolized by Wild Adherents Washington, Feb. 16.—Raisuli, the} Moorish bandit who has just again of-, fered to surrender to the Spanish mil-; jtary forces which are pushing an ac-) tive 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 inci- | dent when Secretary of State John) Hay demanded “Perdicaris alive or} Raisuli dead.” i That was, 17 years ago, in. 1904.| Raisuli had captured Ion Perdicaris, a naturalized American citizen and kept! him prisoner. President Roosevelt | sent a fleet of eight American war vessels stripped for action into Tan- gier Harbor while John Hay sent his! famous message to the feeble Sultan{ 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 fre- quently swamped the trained battal- ions of a civilized power. Perdicaris, a wealthy man, was president of the European Commission 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 So- ciety Bulletin. He was snatched out of his summer home by Raisuli’s rajd- ers, 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 Raisuli, appointed him governor of | a district, turned loose some of his friends from Tangier jails, and incar- cerated 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| about his governorship, was thrown out, and promptly retaliated by bear- ing off for ransom Kaid Sir Henry McLean, British commander of the Morodcoan 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-trig- gers in European diplomacy. The French navy bombarded one of his captive towns. Casablanca, the now practically extinct Kaiser Wil-| helm came to bat sniffing undue French expansion in prospect, but the matter was straightened out in a council chamber instead of on a bat- tlefield. Raisuli was chased back to his mountain fastness, but news dis- patches every few years record an- other of his eruptions. “In many respects the man inter- ested and attracted me in spite of all my natural motives for dislike.” Perdi- caris says of Raisuli in the Geographic Society’s report. “Raisuli was gra- gious and dignified, nt to us only, but to his own wild adherents, who evi- dently idolized their chieftain, whose position among them seemed that of a head of a ‘highland clan in olden! times.’ He was quick to see the hu-| morous aspect of a situation, while; his repartee was as immediate and to the point as though he had been born in the County Galway.’ Not a Mere Brigand ¥ “I found, myself unconsciously ac- cepting his contention that he was not a mere brigand or cattle-lifter, but a patriot struggling to lift his Berber followers from the tyranny of corrupt! officials. His charm of voice, the! natural poise and dignity of his man- ner, his self-control under provoca- ; tion, all betrayed a superior char- acter.” . Perdicaris remarks that “Raisuli| could not bear to hear: a child cry,” but’ there was a fiercer background for the tribesman’s motivation. Crom- | well Varley, 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 Raisuli dead’ that a trusted correspondent of The Associated Press in Washington is concerned.” | The Geographic Society Bulletin re- marks, “Being entrusted with pre- paring a message for President Roose- velt to sign, Mr, Hay did so, and sub-| mitted it to his friend, the newspaper man, for his opinion. ‘Well, it may be diplomatic, but the Sultan will never | get you in the midst of all those, words,’ was in effect the newspaper- | man’s verdict. ‘Why not say what/ you mean, and no more. Mr. Secre-! tary? Perdicaris alive or Raisuli| dead.’ | “The Secretary agreed. President | Roosevelt approved and the Sultan} So far ‘got’ this succint American de-| mand that he abandoned all usual or- | iental indirection.” | | NEVER WANTS ANYTHING ELSE | “{ tried many different kinds of} cough medicines,” writes Mrs, E.

By NEA Service, Seattle, Feb. 16.—Despite predic- tions of seasoned mountaineers that certain death awaits them, three’ dar- ing Swiss climbers are out to set a new record by making a midwinter ascent of Mt.

MATERIALS FROM U.S. Stockholm, Feb, 16.— Premier Le- nine’s long talked of scheme for the electrification of Russia appears to be crystallizing into action and if the present plans announced by officiais of the Soviet government go through, Sweden will be engaged in turning out high-power turbines and other electrification materials and machin- ery for several years to come. In order to fill -contracts said to bave been entered into by the biggest electrical works of Sweden, the Swed- ish manufacturers will have to pur- chase enormous quantities of raw ma- Mt.

No at- tempt, ate munter ascent. has ever been made, heretofore, Butithe trio, Jacques Bergues, Jean Landry and his brother, Jacques Lan- dry, have records to show successful ascent of more than 30 peaks in the Swiss and French Alps. They declare application of Swiss methcds to. old Ranier will be suc- cessful and will result in opening cf copper for, Sweden’s own olectrifi- cation projects. Professor Crastio, head of the Rus- sian D2partment of Electrification, recently ‘arrived at Trollhaettan, in central Sweden, and began negotla- tions with Gunnar W. Anderson, head of the large industrial combine which is now dlivering locomotives to the Soviet government, for the purchase and delivery of turbines and_ other needed machinery for the Pussian power stations to be onstructed within the next few years. Trollhaet- tan is one of Sweden's largest manu- facturing centers. i While the details of the Russian order cannot be given at this time, it is said that three of Sweden's largest mechanical: works will have to be pressed into service to meet the Rus- s‘on contract. Professor Crastio said the Russian electrification plan in- wlves the ‘building before 1930 of about: 10 large power stations with a total of 1,000,000 horse-power. One of the largest of these power stations is to be located at Wolchow, about 70 miles south of Petrograd. Two stations are to be constructed on the Swir river between Onega and La- doga lakes, The Russian electrification plan contemplates also the erection of a Jarge number of steam power centrals. Should this ambitious scheme of the Russian Soviet . government: go through as scheduled, it is likely that terials from the United States where they are already buying a great deal Juicy And Save the wrappers Good for valuable Premiums | Swedish electrical and mechanical en- gineers will be drafted to install the AY Fruit, Peppermint and Spearmint are certainly three delightful flavors to choose from.
