—— REFUSES TOTALK LIS JAIL LIFE Remains in Prison Seven Years; Is Pronounced Sane —_— Lisbon, June 65 (AP) - Seven years without having uttered a sin- gle word, desplte possession of all his facultles, coupled with a de- termination to live in fall in prefer. ence to a life of freedom, have made Ivan Gluchosa known\ to everyone s Lisbon, He is a mystery to the police, who have on more than one occasion shown him the prison doors, and the people séem- ingly never tira of speculating why the voluntarily “silent prisoner” never eays a word. A policeman picked Ivan up one summer night in 1918, asleep on & park bench, and ran him in, Ques- tioned, he refused to answer. Pa- pers in his pockets gave his name, | and his nationality, Rumanian, and the fact that he had belonged to the crew of a foreign steamer that had left port the day of his arrest. He got a few months as a vagrant. In jall he behaved himself, but spoke never a word, His time up, the prison authorities sent Ivan to the Rumanian consul, but not a word would he say., The perplexed consul sent him back to the prison, where he remained for three years qnietly, peacefully and contentedly, but absolutly sllent. Doctors hav pronounced Ivan normal in every way, and estab- lishéd ‘the fact that he enjoys lis- tefilng to the singing of birds. He has been insulted and abused fn his own language, and in most others, but he never showed he heard what was sald, Traps have been set for him, but all-18 of no avail. Ivan has determined not to speak. At the end of three years the prison authorities gave this silent man a new outfit of clothes and a pocketful of money and set him free. But at the gate he shrank back and refused to leave the shel- tering walls, Iour years have passed since then. Today Ivan is assistant prison cook, but he will accept no money for his work. Occasionally he goes out on business connected with the kitchen, but trom these excursions he returns with manifestations of joy. He loves his job, he loves his prison home, and he finds joy In his self-imposed silence, PLAN CAMPAIGNS Women's Clubs Are Preparing For Active Drive For New Federal De- partment, West Baden, Ind., June B (AP)— |jurious to humans.

ARGHIVES AL S REGOMNENDED Place {0 House Important Goy- ernment Documents Washington, June 5 (AP) — Erection hers of a modern archives building as an ald to future histor- fans s urged by Capt. Dudley Knox, head of the navy's historical section, and by other officials having super- vislon of government records. Capt. Knox cited the existence of 200 sep- arate collections as tending to make the preparation of accurate histories difficult and unnecessarily expensive, Information relating to early American naval activity is contained in the files of the departments of state and treasury, as well as the pension .office, but much data also is cared for by the states, by private societies and Individuals. Tt was the custom for captains of vessels and commanders of squadrons to con- sider records of thelr administra. tion as something personal, Captaln Knox sald, and there wi ustifica. tion in this, inasmuch th ofe ficers were held to a degree of finan. clal accountabllity, The result was to scatter officlal documents in varl. ous families throughout the land, and the department frequently hears of the papers of old-time naval of- ficers being sold at auction, G From time to time persons apply to the historical section to see pa- pers relating to thelr ancestors and the department lends its ald to re- search workers who are complling historical naval information, Tn 1911 congress authorized $30,« 000 for a commission to make pho- tostatie coples from the existing archives, but only the states of Massachusetts, Virginia and North Carolina had been reached when the world war eclipsed this activity and the funds became exhausted. Personal letters Are considered very valuable as a source of history, Capt. Knox sald, as they give a state of mind and sidelights which officlal documents do not contaln.
