ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 27.-Maxime
Gorky had but a short glimpse of lib
erty today. Released on $1,000 bail, the
noted author was Immediately rear
rested and conveyed to place of con-
finement pending deportation to some
distant city or province where his con-
tinued residence, tits thought, will not
be so dangerous to the welfare of the
government as it would be here in ST.

friends of the writer had overcome
obstacle after obstacle and won the
grudging consent of hierarchy and off,
Gals to the signing of the mandate ad-

orders assigning his place Of future
residence.
