New York. June 4.-No more thrill
ing tale OF the ca ever flowed from
the facile pen of Jack London or
Clark Russell than that unfolded at
the trial of He IRE" Peterson. cap
tain of the barkentine Puaaka, and
his son, Adolph Eric Peterson sec
ond mate of the same craft, which
is now proceeding in the U1ited
Hough.
Capt. Peterson are charged witr
murder on the high seas in having
permitted Axel Hansen a member of
the crew, to drown without attempt
ing to rescue him. Hansen. it Is
alleged, jumped overheard in fear or
desperation after having been starv-
ed. nIaltreated and beaten during the
voyage of the barkentine from Vic
toTia, Is. c., around the Horn to
Cape Town. South Africa last Au-

The Indictment against Peterson
and his son was found after mem
bers of the crew had told the story
of the voyage to the United States
consul at Cape Town.

When the trial opened. Judge
Hough, in accordance with an ancient
custom. had a special enclosure built

sci. but in response TO the protest vi
Dudley Field Malone. counsel for the
Federsons, they were finally assigned
to a place inside the regular eE-
closure. but still apart from their
counsel.
Capt. Peterson is typical "old
salt" short and stocky of build. with
powerful hands. bushy hair. sandy
mustache. hard blue eyes and tirm
mouth-in appearance not dissimilar
to Jack London's Sea Wolf" His
son, on the other hand, does not live
up to the description Of the typica!
mate. He is slender. but of wiry
build, with a sallow complexion. An
occasional flash of his close-set eyes
gives the only hint that his doiice
appearance may be misleading.
Both father and son seem keenly
aware of the seriousness of their po-
sition and watch the witnesses closely.

CHI. .DRENS HOME:
At SAN DIEGO IS
WORTHY Of HELP

Under the labors of William s. Place,
the work OF soliciting funds for the I'm
perial Valley Childrens Home is sue
ceeding wonderfully. While many
knew of the official action of the county
board Of supervisors relative to home
and came up Immediately with sub
Stantial sums of mony for maintenance
fund, others did not know OF hits action
and We're slow in making donations
until they got information Officially.
But publicity has quite generally been
given the matter by all the Valley
press, and by this time the fact that
Imperial Valley has its own children's
home is quite generally known.
The main thing now is to let the
people know that the home is seek
ing donations to meet expenses Of re-
modling the home and constructing
dorrlitories, furnishings, etc. 1t re-
Quires a lot Of money to maintain
home, clothe lot of little bodies, and
feed the hungry mouths. But the
homeless little tots are not to blame
to the philanthropic, the kindly dispO-
sitoned, and the big heart of love to
care for them, and we will get 4 lot
Of enjoyment out of it at that. 1mpcr-
ial falley men and women have the
reputation of doing things worth While
and of not being penurious about it
while they are doing it, and this is the
reason why the work of this home
is going with such Whrlwind rapidity
There is very little of the grinding
crushing greed manifested in the I'm
peral Valley, but a whole lot of the
opposite desire to see the other fellow
prosper and get on well. This is
the spirit that provides for orphans
homes. A nan was heard to remark
here one day: Imperial Valley re-
mminds me Of Alaska in two ways, one
is that it requires an iron man or wo-
man to live here, and another that ev-
cry fellow has a spark of respect in
his heart for the general welfare of
tn other fellow" In speaking of the
iron" requisites he referred to the
and daughter of us avoid if possible;
and it is these four months, added to
a quake or two. which make the pro
moters fear that home located in the
Valley would hardly meet with the
spirit of the California law guarding
the public institutions of the state. The
site of the home in San Diego is very
beautiful one, and everyone knows of
the almost perfect climate of the place,
which will make an ideal home for the
poor young tots who have been brought
into the world without protector, or
heritage.
