PETROvsKY's CASE APPEALED
TO WASHINGTON AUTHORITIES
Former Russian Ohlcer Says His Trou-
Bile at Home Was Due to
Politics

The case of vyacheslav Petrovsky. for
mer Russian officer, who was denied
landing here last week by Immigrant
Commissioner Hart H North on the
ground that he came within the provi-
sions OF the alien exclusion act of
March 8, 1908. is being actively agi-
tated by the accused himself and by
the Russian Society. which has taken
up the case for investigation. They
have employed Cameron H. King TO act
as his attorney. and the appeal from
the findings of Commissioner North Is
now on the way to Washington.
1t is believed that the ruling will be
reversed, since Petrovsky claims he
comes within the exception named in
section two or the immigration law of
1903, which provides that nothing in
this act shall exclude persons convicted
of an offense purely political, not in
volving moral turpitude-" He claims
that he was convicted by court-martial
in Russia on. account of expression of
his political views, but that he was
not an anarchist nor a believer in the
use of violent measures to reform gov
ernment.
