for president, McAdoo, it. is blleveU j

The message addressed to W. V.

be more replete with colorful adven

Halsull, international bandit de luxe,
whose many kidnaping episodes In
connection with his more than 40
years of brigandage have nettled half
a dozen great powers, not excepting
the I'nited stales.
Halsull first tan afoul the Wash

kidnspped and held for ransom Ian
H. l'erdicarls, an American subject
born in Athens, and Cromwell Varley,
his son-in-law, a lliitlsh citizen. Mr.
Pcrdlenris, reported to be Itnineneelv
wealthy, owned a beautiful summer
villa In the llenl Arrox Hills of Mor
occo, where It was his custom to en
tertain many Europeon notables in
lavish styln. One night, while a bril
liant dinner-dance was In progress, a
blind of ouUas, headed by Itaisuli,
quietly surrounded the house, over
powered the host and his son-in-law
and carried them, still In their eve
ning clothes, to the bandit's lair in
tho mountains back of a Kabyle vll
age. While a wave of Indignation over
the Incident was sweep, ng the I'nited
States, the government ent n war
vessel to Tangier and also ordered
the Sultan to bring about the Imme
diate release of Mr. Pt-rdirarls, fori
whom Kaisull was demanding a rnn-
mn of ITd.oon. Tho Sultan, however,
dreading to dicniry the bandit by
treating with him, adopted a negative
altitude which further angered the
American stale department and re
sulted In the sending of several addi
tional wiii-diips to Tangier, and the
pointing of American guns at the
Sultan's capital.
II was at this stage that the fam
ouh cablegram, "l'erdicarls alive or
Itallstlll dead" supposed to have been
'ent by President Itoosevelt to the
Sultan, wan read from the rostrum of
the republican national convention,

him from office and drove him back
to his native hills, once more an out

Halsull, like many of his noted ban
dit predecessors, was prone to main
tain that he practiced brigandage
purely In the Interest of the weak and
oppressed, and thnt he robbed the
rich in order that he might better re
lieve the poor. Despite this explana
tion, there is no record that hbi chari

Although he was a peaceful farmer
In early life, he claimed to be of
noble birth, and frequently produced
1 nnclent letters ptiportlng to establish
this contention. His career as a ban
dit began following his escape from
prirfon in 1XS2, when be was 20 years
of age. He had served five years,

an alleged offense against the Sul

In character, ho seemed to possess
all the traditional cruelty of his
Moorish race, especially In dealing
with IiIm enemies, yet he was known
to display genuine eympathy fur a
child In trouble and was noted for his
kindness to animals.
Mr. Perdlcaris, who wrolo a detail
ed account of his captivity In tho
haunts of Halsull, suld that he "really
grew to like the man." "He was at
once o gracious and dignified, not to
us alone but lo his own wild adher

discovered to my consternation I was
beginning to accept his contention
that he was not a mere brigand or
ratlle-llfter, but a patriot struggling
to rescue his Ilerber followers from
the tyranny of the. corrupt eherecfaln
