s e e - B LIFE OF MEXICAN RULER'S DAUGHTER Soledad Gonzales Has Ups and Downs By BOB DORMAN NEA Bervice Writer New York, Nov. 7.—Orphan— foster-daughter of Madero, martyred president of Mexico—ravolutionist— and soon to be the only woman confidential presidentlal secretary— there are a few high spots in the adventurous life of Senorita Soledad Gonzales, 24 year old Mexican beauty, Her falry godmother must have been kept more than busy watching over “Cholita,” as Senorita Gonzales s known by her friends. g She was born in Coahulla, and, 1eft an orphan while still a babe, she was saved from the life of a peon by Francisco 1. Madero, He adopted her. Life was huppy for her during the next seven years. She went to school, a dream of the future, During that tima the fire of the revolutions that have swept Mexico during the past 13 years, broke out. Tt placed her adopted father, Ma- dero. in the presidential chair, and hrought Chelita to live In historie Chapultepec Castle, the Mexican White House There she witnessed the tarrible 10 daye of February, 1913, when the revolutionists defeated and mur- dered Madero Teep within her was born a Tatin hatrad of those responsible for the death of him who had been kind to her. At 15, two vears later, she began to take an active part fn their pun- fshment.

The blowing up of the eeach in which he was traveling in western Canada seems without question to have been the deliberate work of assassing, and to have come as the culmination of years of plotting against the life of a man who had made a great contribution to e upbuilding of the Canadian West The Doukhobor community in Western Canada, which Peter Ver- egin ruled with a despot's sway, is misunderstood by thousands of per- vith whom it has been At into contact. Its memiwrs won an evil reputation away back in 1002, four years after their ar- rival in Canada, when news of their treks to meet the *Messiah,” un- dertaken etark naked in the cold of December, hacames known all over this continent. A Romantic Story The story of their trek from southwest Russia, however, and their building up of a rich success- ful colony, 18 full of romance, The idea of that movement away from the tyranny of the Czar, who wanted to force them fnto military service against the tenets of their faith was born in the brain of Peter Veregin, or Nastasia Vere- guine — “Little Father Vereguing,” as he was known to this uncom- mon sect, But before he had time | to bring his plan to fruition, Vere- | gin had heen banished to Siberla. Yet even in his prison home, 2,- 000 miles away from his own peo- ple, he directed every detail of that movement, sending his couriers with the minutest details that there might be no fighting, But the movement had little promise of success without a leader and the colonists were lost in the new country of Canada without a pilot. Tolstoy Intervenes Then Count Tolstoy, knowing Peter Veregin and his work, per- | sonally intervened with the then FEmpress of Russia and obtained a pardon for Peter on condition that he agreed never to set foot in Rus- | sla again. Peter Veregin sailed for Canada to take direction of the colony and to be ruler of the nine or ten | thousand who had made the great | adventure. There had been our | vears of chronic suffering and of struggling and the newcomers had abandoned all hopes of material | prosperity.

Community Prospers This was 22 years ago. Bince that time the community has pros- pered, A large colony lives at Ver- milion and owns much of the best orchard land of British Columbia, while another colony has remalned In Alberta, There are about 12 to | 16 thousand people and they hold thelr property in common. It s the largest and most successful experi- ment in Communism that has been trled outside of Russia. Its wealth 18 counted fn millions. | Peter Veregin ruled his peoples | with a rod of fron, \nlunvnr|1v| these Russians, with something of the savagery of the Tartars, placed | themselves in the hands of this qulet-spoken man, delberately | made him thelr autocrat and gave | him all power over the flock save | that of life and death. | Peter Veregin was a born leader | of men, He had the last say in the | management of the communal af- | fairs and was the final authority | for the brethern in all spiritual | matters, What the community il | do without its Czar is the big qies- | tion now at Vermilion, Apples W anted for Use At the Day Nursery | The monthly report of Mrs. Frank J. O'Brien, superintendent of the Day Nursery, shows a total of 1,256 for the month of October, including children from three families where the mother i3 in the hospital ana two whers the father is similarly disabled. Other statisties concern- ing the children show: Sent to den- tal clinic, 4; recelved medical aid, 3; fitted to glasses, 2; cultures fak- en, 5; homes visited, 4. There has been no sickness at the nursery for three months. Mrs. O'Brien attrl- butes this to Dr. Richard W. Pul- len's fine work In examining the children before they ars admitted to the nursery. During the past month, the nurs- ery received a donation of elght cribs from Mrd. Jennie L. Bassett and another of four bushels of ap- ples from Elijah Rogers, besides smaller ones of jelly and clothing. Mrs. O'Brien is anxious to secure windfall apples to be made into ap- plesauce, which is one of the dishes | which goes over big at the nursery. | Held as Fugitive From Police; Caught Here | Tony Vernali of 126 High street, | was arrested at his home yesterday | for the state police on a charge of | violating the liquor law.
