ALBERT PATRICK
GRANTED PARDON
Lawyer Gains Freedom After
Remarkable Fight.
WAS SERVING LIFE TERM.
At No Time Since His Long In
generation, Has Patrick Given
Up Hope OF Obtaining
His Freedom.

Albany, y. Y.-Albert T. Patrick,
who is serving life sentence in Sing
Sing Prison for the murder OF William
Marsh Rice, an aged millionaire, in
New York city on September 20, 1900,
was pardoned by Governor Dix.
Patrick, who was saved from the
electric chair by the late Governor
Higgins, in December, 1906, has made
a remarkable fight for freedom. A
lawyer by profession, he protested
when Governor Higgins committed the
death sentence to life Imprisonment,
declaring that the Governor had no
legal right to cancel the original SEN
tence and impose a punishment OF life
imprisonment.
Governor Dix announced that he
had pardoned Patrick just as he was
about TO leave the capitol for the
executive mansion.
Doubt OF Fair Trial.
There has always been an air of
mystery in this important case" he
said. Quoting from the minority
opinion OF the Court of Appeals, The
atmosphere that surrounded the de-
PENDANT showed that a fair and i'm
partial trial was scarcely possible
Il trust that NJ. Patrick will devote
his energies to a complete vindication
OF his declared innocence.

PitifuI Condition of Native Indians
Described in Letter.
Lured by Promises of High Wages
into a 5ervitude From Which
Only Escape Is StarVa-
ton.

Standardization concerning
the methods of rubber gathering In
Peru are made in a remarkable letter
in the Times from F. H. Fawcett. 1t
throws a searching light on the situa-
ton. showing clearly the huge profits
made by the exploiters and their
hideous methods of retaining the ma
tives in their service.
Here is a summary of how the ex-
ploring company which has discovered
rubber trees performs its business on
returning to civilization:
Agents, half-caste men of straw,
with knowledge of Quichua, were con-
tracted as they still are every year, to
secure labor. They are advanced
money They visit Indians on the
Altiplanicle, tempt them with the ad-
vances Of sums unheard of by the
poor Indian, highly color the life and
profits, make them drunk, perhaps,
anyway finally obtain a paper signed,
or alleged to have been signed, pledg-
ing their miserable possession of a
hut, a potato patch and a llama
against a contract to gather so many
quintals of rubber "a quintal being 100
pounds.
The Indian, on recovery from his
debauch, is forcibly dragged away
proceedings at which the law winks)
to the rubber estates.
HE has to work under half-caste task
alton TrorI1fi-rniI6orarc and
is required to transport his own food
and rubber (weighing 100 pounds
over trails no reader would care to
traverse free from a load"
Men, women and children are
bought and sold for personal service.
Parents sell daughters: the brutal
appreciation of life is such that there
is no security in the Peruvian forests
for the possession of children.
It is a mistake, he points out, to
suppose that it is only a degenerate
class of Peruvian who is guilty OF
abuses. They are perpetuated by
foreigners of various nationalities.
Escape for an employee is very diff.
f1cult. from many places impossible. y
Fawcett says. They do, however
get away sometimes.
In escaping he abandons everything
but life. He can stay and probably
die. knowing he can never be out OF
debt.
Fer all abuses the owners are re
sponsible, whether they realize how
their profits are gained or not. The
agent on the spot 70 not always to
blame. His livelihood is bound up in
the business.
HE can, under the guise of honest
treatment, swindle his ignorant labor
force over its accounts and production
and thus keep it in debt and at per.
manent work.
"Or he can starva 1t. The latter

THEY AGREE upon
An ARMISTICE
Turkey and the Balkans Sign
Agreement.
COMPLICATIONS HOW REMOTE
The Armistice viii Last AS Long AS
the Preliminary Negotiations
For Peace Con-
tnue.

London.-The second month az the
shortest great European war in his
tory closes under brighter auspices
than the statesmen who have been
handling the tangled skein OF conhlct'
ing national interests dared 10 predict
An armistice was signed Tuesday in
the Sultans palace car by the dele
gates OF the belligerent states who
have been comforting there IN an ap.
parently conciliatory atmosphere and
incidentally consuming luxurious
Iuncheons prepared by CONSTANT
nople'e foremost French chef.
The armisuce was signed by the
Turks on the one hand and the Bull
garians on the other in behalf OF the
four allies. 1t thus applies not merely
to Tchatalja and Adrianople, but 10
all Turkey in Europe.
The armistice will last as long as
the preliminary negotiations for peace
continue
1t is stipulated that the position OF
the belligerents shall remain exactly
as at the time of signature.
Up to the present there have been
NO pour parlers on the subject Of the
terms of peace Therefore statements
with reference 10 the fate OF Adria-
nople and the demarcation Of new
frontiers are unfounded.
The hope that permanent peace will
follow on terms which will avoid a
clash with Austria is strong in all the
capitals and assuming the force
of conviction. From Constantinople,
Sofa and Belgrade the press agencies,
which speak with the voices of their
governments. predict a settlement and
portray a general desire to end the
war.

PROPOSES AS JOKE; ACCEPTED
Girl Disappears, However. and Har'
ward Student Is Sorrcwful
by Loss.

Cambridge, N. Jimmy Ryan, a
Harvard sophomore, is conducting a
search for girl to whom he became
engaged the other night, and whom
he had never seen before. Ryan and
two others were neophytes at fra
ternity initiation. and were instructed
to ask every girl they met to marry
them. One girl-"the handsomest girl
| ever saw"-according to Ryan, at
tracted the youths eye in Watertown
square, and on Bonded knee he beg
ged her to be his. Much to his sur
prise and to the chagrin of those in
charge of the initiation the girl led
him aside and accepted his protrered
heart. Then, taking two little pend
ants from her ears she placed them on
those of the entranced Jimmy to bind
the agreement and disappeared around
the corner.
Ryan says he will find her If he has
to hire a detective.
