Washington, D. C.-That relentless
bandit, Raisuli, the Villa of Morocco,
whose present raids have caused po-
litical crisis in Spain, has another side.
"He could not bear to hear a child
cry, while on several occasions l no
ticed his care even to avoid allowing
the bees collected on his cup to drown"
is the surprising statement, not of a
friend, but of the wealthy American
who was held for ransom by Raisuli in
1904, until President Roosevelt sent
fleet of war ships and his famous ulti-
matum, "Perdicaris alive or Raisuli
dead" to Morocco.
Ion Perdicaris' own story Of his ad-
ventures as the prisoner of the "Moroc-
can Robin Hood" is told in communi-
cation sent by him to the National
Geographic society soon after his re-
lease.
''In many respects the man inter-
ested and attracted me, in spite of all
my natural motives for dislike" said
Mr.. Perdicaris. "Raisuli was at once
so gracious and dignified, not to us
only, but to his own wild adherents,
who evidently idolized their chieftain,
whose position among them seemed
that Of the head of Highland clan in
the olden times.
Has a Superior Character.
"He was quick tn see the humorous
aspect of situation, while his repartee
was as immediate nd to the point as
though he had been born in County
Galway itself. In fact, discovered to
my CONSERVATION that was beginning
to like the man, in spite of my natural
resentment. l found myself uncon-
sciously accepting his contention that

COST Of LIVING
BEING REDUCED
PRICES BEGINNING TO TURN
DOWNWARD, DECLARES
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Slump Has Not Vet Gathered Momen.
tum, But He Advises Public 70
Give Government Chance to
Show What X Can DO.

Washington.-Price are beginning
ITO turn downward in various parts Of
the country, but the slump has not yet
gathered momentum sufficient to af-
feet purchases for Immediate use, ac-
cording to reports to the department
of justice. <fit G e
Attorney General Palmer, asked how
soon results could be expected from
the campaign to, reduce the cost Of
living, said all the government wanted
was fair chance to show what could
be done to take the artificial initiation
out of the market. He said officials
were well pleased with the success so
far attained and that cumulative re-
suits were expected when congress
enacts amendments to the food-control
law by which criminal penalties can
be imposed on prOfiteers and hOarders.
'We hope the public will begin to
reap the benefit of our efforts before
long," Mr.. Palmer said. For instance,
we are making progress in obtaining
promises from shoe manufacturers as
to fixing a limit beyond which prices
shall not go"
Propaganda which is apparently ma
tion-wide, on the part of shopkeepers
seeking to induce purchases now on
the pretext that prices will be mate
rally higher next season, was con-
demned by Mr.. Palmer as one certain
thing which would make prices con-
tinue rising if needed. His attention
was called to advertisements in va
rious papers stating straw hats, cloth
ing and other nOn-perishable articles
should be bought before next years
prices become effective.
1T is very unfortunate that some
merchants take that attitude, and we
have been studying the situation" the
attorney general said. Extensive pur
chases now, reducing the supply and
increasing the demand, would make
their predictions come true, whereas
we hope for normal price level If
the people do not stampede into
buying hysteria.'

Of direction were obtained when under
water or on top Of 1t. And soon other
stations were heard, including Carnar-
Won, England; Rome, Italy, and vari-
GUS merchant vessels. Later experi-
ments showed that communications
can be carried on at sea under all con-
ditions more efficiently with the closed
loop aerial than with the ordinary
antenna now in general use.
When submarine equipped with

any North American or European sta

when it is on the surface. The maxi

signals can be heard is determined by
the wave length.
Signals can be transmitted from the
loop to distance Of ten or twelve
miles when the submarine Is COM

lance being obtained when the top Of
the loop is practically at the surface.
The distance decreases to two or three
miles when the loop is eight or nine

RAISUII BANDIT
OF RARE CHARM

he was not a mere brigand or cattle
litter, but patriot struggling to res
cue his Berber followers from the tyr
amy of the corrupt shereefian officials.
His charm Of voice, the natural polse
and dignity of his manner, his self
control under provocation.-all be-
trayed superior charaote He is. in
fact, a born leader, and with certain
statesmanlike quality. He deplored the
condition of his country, the feuds
which separate the tribes, the many
deeds of violence and the blood so use
lessly shea.
"While standing near Raisuli one
day on the village green, Of which we
were now allowed the freedom, one of
his followers came up from Tangier,
almost breathless from his haste, to
report the arrival Of the two American
squadrons. The man described how
the eight frigates had entered the bay,
one after another.
II watched Raisuli with anxiety, lest
experimenting the landing of marines,
with view to our relief and his own
capture, he might endeavor to drag %
/ to some more distaat and inaccessible
retreat. What was then my surprise
when, looking up with bright smile.
he said: We'll, think chn now con-
graduate your

piled.
"T mean, answered Raisuli, chat
the presence of these vessels will lead
the authorities at Tnngier to make
such representations 10 the sultan as
may result in his acceding to my dt-
mands, and then you Will be abl0 to re.
turn to your friends
Part as Friends.
"The next morning 1t was still dark
when our men began loading the pack
mules, and we reached the crest o. tn.
mountain, which lay between us and
Tangier, just as the srn rose.
"At last the mules, bearing the silver
dollars, carefully packed in boxes, ar
rived but now luncheon was again
served in honor of Mulai Ahmel, and
must be partaken of, after which the
bullion was counted IN another room
"'The silver said Raisuli, address
ing me, has been counted-$2O,UOO as
stipulated, in Spanish dollars. but

verbally, and Raisuli, leading me to
the door, where l found my horse watt

he had learned to look upon me as
friend and that he hoped I cherished
no Ill feeling on account of my deten-

MINERS ORDERED
TO GO TO WORK

Indianapolis.-Judge A. B. Anderson,
in federal court at 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning, approved the order Of the
executive board of the United Mine
Workers of America, calling off the
strike of bituminous coal miners.
Attorneys for the miners promised
to try to have the order in the mails
by o'clock that evening. This action
was taken following a session of the
general committee of the miners,
which decided early in the day to
comply with the mandate of the court
issued last Saturday.
Later in the day officials Of the
mineworkers' union and representa-
tives Of the mine operators accepted
the invitation of Secretary of Labor
Wilson for conference in Washing
ton for adjustment of the differences
that led to the miners walk-out.
Judge Anderson characterized the
order as good faith effort" to COM
ply with his mandate. The text of the
order follows:
Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. II, 1918

United Mine Workers of America:

CAPTAIN Matlack
Knows No Fear
Battling Owls Make
Kansas Streets Unsafe

Republic, Kan.-The streets
Of this town are unsafe for
pedestrians after dark on &C
count Of the nightly battles be-
tween large flocks of owls. Re-
naming in the trees during the
day, they swarm about like To-
Gusts at night and have become
so numerous and vicious that
they attack human beings. 1t is
unsafe for women and children
to venture out after dark.
In several instances persons
have been struck on the head
and rendered unconscious. One
woman was painfully hurt by a
direct attack from an owl which
she had tried to ward off with
an umbrella.
Steps are being taken by the
authorities to rid the city of its
strange pests. Such a condition,
1t Is said, was never known here
before, although owls have al
ways been numerous in this Sec
ton of the state.

a sudden death. 1t was not long after
that Cano attempted a raid and got
several hundred cattle. Matlack took
up the trail, recovered the cattle, killed
Cano and drove the cattle back into
Texas.
In like manner he met and killed
brother Of Jesus Renterias, the BAN
dit leader who held the aviators, Davis
and Peterson, in captivity, pending the
payment Of ransom money. 1t was
Matlack who outwitted the Mexican
bandits when he went alone to rescue
Peterson and Davis and escaped with
half the ransom money, inviting death
for himself and the aviators.
Takes Long Chances.
On one occasion Matlack and his men
were surrounded by an overwhelming
force Of Mexicans. Instead Of maxi
ing stand to fight, as the bandits ex-
pected, Matlack ordered a charge, rode
down the Mexicans and killed IS Of
their number. Matlack's men suffered
one slight casualty.
NOT long arter this cattle ranch
near Candalaria was raided. Matlack
and his men pursued and killed the
Mexicans and recovered the cattle.
Later Matlack went back to look for
more cattle. While he was riding
around the town shot was fired from
an adobe house. The bullet went wild.
Matlack boldly kicked in the door Of
the house and killed the Mexican who
had fired at him. In virtually every en-
counter with Mexicans Matlack has
taken long chances, but he has always
gotten his man.

years old. who on September 8
married Adeline Young, aged
sixty-four, keeper of a boarding
house, on the theory that two

They agreed to divide the pro-

refused and started for the bank
to deposit the coin. Boroquez
went to the newspapers and had
inserted a notice that he had left
