now being constructed. But in the
mean time he must raise funds to
finance the trip. and his stop in To-
peka is in search Of employment that
will last for some little time. he says.
Morella tells story brimful of ad-
venture.
Twenty-six years ago he was born
in New York, he says. His mother
was Myra Morella Of the Aborn Eng
lish Grand Opera Company. Until
her death in 1900 she was well known
to lovers of opera all over the coun-
try, the son AYERS. His father, he
says. was William H. Mccormack, OF
the Emma Abbott company.
Adventures after Mothers Death.
Morella's adventures began shortly
after his mothers death, when he ran
away from the home Of his grand
mother in California. Then followed
series Of interesting episodes in his
life. A season he claims to have
spent with Colonel Cummins's Wild
West show. A craving for wider ex-
periences seized him. he says, and he
went to the Pacific coast intent on
shipping aboard trans-Pacific steam
er. The California earthquake spoiled
that trip.
His chance to cross the seas came
several years later, when he was be-
friended by Senior Gomez, who was
touring the world in an effort to re-
gain his health. Before he left his
friend he had visited Manila, the Ha-
waiian islands, Hongkow, China, and
Nagasaki, Japan. 'a
In 1908 he entered the Clark Wire
less Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany in Detroit. There he learned
to become wireless operator and
later served on several vessels plying
between Detroit and Cleveland. Later
service with the United Fruit boats
again took him across the seas.
Knew Mexican Leaders.
When trouble first commenced to
brew in Mexico he came in touch
with revolutionary agents in CALI
fornia. he says. Then began the most
eventful experiences Of his life, &C.
cording to the story he recounts. Dur
ing his connection with the revolu-
tionary forces he claims to have come
in touch with practically every i'm
portant figure that appeared to con-
test the federal government.
At the outbreak Of the present Eu-
ropean war he says he was in De-
troit and there read in a Canadian
paper Of the proposed organization OF
party Of American physicians and
nurses who planned to enter the sery-
Ire in Europe. He left Immediately
for England, made his way to the
French front and there Joined the
hospital corps as nurse. Several
months Of active service at base
hospital caused him to lose consider
able ardor for his business. A seri-
Gus wound caused more ardor to dis
siBhte. Then he came back to
America.
