Note TO Petersburg Jailer Which
Despairing Wife Thought Was Long

NIT the happy story, although the one
who most wished to hear 1t was in his
office was tho very embarrassing sit
uation In which Captain Alexander
found himself yesteI day morning.
The whole trouble with the situation
was that Captain Forwards early edu-
cation was neglected in so far as
speaking Russian is concerned.
Yesterday the governor decided TO
pardon Simon Seja bak, n Russian con-
fined in the Petersburg Jail on con-
viction for violating the prohibition
law His wife and children have been
entirely without support during the
time in which he has been In Jail.
On Thursday sjabak received news of
tho accidental killing of his brother
in New Jersey.
Under all the circumstance the
governor believed he was justified IN
extending clemency.
However, before the pardon arrived
at Petersburg or tidings reached
there, Mrs Sejabak, who speaks no
English, accompanied by several
friends equally ignorant of the Ian

plain with his usual kindly considcra-
tton that the man had beer pardoned.
For all the JOY it brought. the mes
sage, as he da(;vered II might have
been one serter cling the unfortunate
to life imprisonm lent.
He attempted by gesture and all the
JOYOUS coptortions of features that he
could think of to convey the good
news sun nothing but tears from
the visiting woman was the result
He then appealed for help to other
Capitol offices. Many could furnish
rnen who could talk "Nu York" and
translate Pennsylvania Dutch, but
there We're none who could even say
Merry Christmas" in the language
of free Russia.
Finally the deadlock was broken
when, inspired by happy thought, the
puzzled secretary wrote a note ad-
dressed 10 the Petersburg TALLER say
Ing that the pardon was In the mails
and would reach him in due season.
Mrs. Sejabak, believing that the letter
was the long sought pardon, was over
toyed and went back to Petersburg
with the pardon" duly signed by Cap
tain Forward tightly clutched In her
hand.
Question: Ought there to be, a
school for the teaching OF Russia n
established at the state Capitol to meet
such emergencies?
