GORKY
F
Hailed as "Liberator of Rus
sia" He Soon Has to Con
ceal His Identity.
ACTRESS MADE TROUBLE
When It Va Discovered She Was
Not His Wife, lie Could Not
Stay at Hotels and Promi
nent Men Ignored Him.
NEW YORK. May 5 (Special.)
'Maxim Gorky's going out West tomor
row," a department man reported to the
city editor of one of the big dailies the
othr day.
"What! , Is he still here?" replied that
individual. In surprise. "You'd better
write a few lines about it. But keep it
under a stick."
And this Is the fate of the man who
was heralded as "The Liberator of Rus
sia," and was given more advance write
ups than any foreign visitor except
Prince Henry. " Gorky had the honor of
being met down the Bay, when his steam
er arrived, by 42 reporters. 18 cameramen
nd a tugload ot enthusiastic admirers.
At the pier was a crowd of over 5000,
cheering- and waving their hats in the
air.
When he left he skulked up to the
Grand Central Depot, accompanied by
"Mrs." Gorky and one faithful friend.
No crowds, not even one newspaper man,
was there to do him reverence. He ar
rived like a hero; he departed like a
drummer. '
Hidden Under Assumed Name.
Gorky's life in New York lias been
something to weep about. Thrown out of
hotels and apartment houses, he has
hidden in a West Side tenement, and
under an assumed name. The Russian
novelist and his personal friends never
realined how bitterly the American peo
ple would resent his action in bringing
an actress here and passing her oft as
his wife. And the result has been a
shock to them.
Gorky had planned a series of mass
meetings and a lecture tour, which would
undoubtedly have raised a large fund for
the Revolutionists. Bier men like Joseph
H. Choate, J. G. Phelps-Stokes, Nathan
Straus, Jacob H. Srhiff, Edward M. Grout,
Scth Low, John Wanamaker and others
of the solid men of the city had signified
an Intention of assisting, and women's
meetings, under the auspices of the lead
ing society and charitable organizations
nf the city, were in progress of forma
tion. Swift and Bitter Transportation.
Gorky, snugly Installed In luxurious
apartments in a fashionable hotel, was
receiving promises of assistance, that far
xcelled any dreams he ever naa. Ana
the weather indications were for a glor
ious and long-continued shower of gold.
Then came the transformation scene.
It was found that Mrs. Gorky was
still In Russia, and that the Mrs. Gork,
who appeared in the t'nited States -wit
another woman altogether.- Down cam
Gorkv from his pedestal, and the hotn
proprietor, amid popular expressions olf
approval, hurled tne ersiwiuie iaoi
the streets.
From that day Gorky has led the life of
a narlBh. Elected from hotel alter notei.
barred out of many apartment houses, he
finally found shelter in two little rooms
on Charleton street, where he resiaea
under the name of Beniamln Slmenowsky.
Could Xot Spend His Money.
The rental he paid was $16 a month.
In the various hotels his rooms alone had
coat him from 125 a month up. He had
money enough to pay his way. but every
resneotable door was barred against him.
and only under an alias could he obtain
shelter at all.
The bin men who had promised to aid
in his meetings either sent in declinations
or Ignored him altogether; the women who
had planned to co-operate hastily aban
doned their preparations. The "Russian
patriot" has held exactly one meeting in
New York City, and was warmly greeted
hy a large number of Russians, but the
American citizens who had been expected
were conspicuous by their absence. In
fact, the only ones on hand were the
newspaper reporters, and they were not
the star men either, for Gorky had become
a person of little Importance.
Could Not Realize Situation.
After that one appearance Gorky has
remained in seclusion. His compatriots
visited him, but many of them advised
hi in to go home. They told him his mis
sion was useless, and that he could never
expect to gain the attention or the money
if the American people. But Gorky has
been persistent, and has carried on a
campaign of which little or nothing has
been said.
Gorky has written to millionaires and
philanthropists, only to have the morttfl
cation of having his letters ignored or his
propositions coldly rejected. He has called
at their offices or their homes, but is
turned away, and outside of a few of his
countrymen there are none to do him rev
erence.
Nobody Cares for Gorky.
Now Gorky, the novelist, the patriot and
i he Improperly designated man of the
hour, has gone away, and nobody cares
where he has gone, or whether he ever
returns. Probably when he reaches Rus
sia again, he will bitterly flay New York
and New Yorkers for the way he has been
treated, but it is doubtful whether he will
he accorded the dignity of a spreadhead
in the newspapers.
Poor Gorky! His fame lasted but a lit
tle time. This requiem was tittered today
by Congressman Timothy D. Sullivan, the
philosopher of he Bowery:
"Gorky got In wrong: that was all. He
could have come over here and drank
and had a good time, and no one would
have cared. They might have called him
eccentric (down here we'd say bughouse)
but It would have all come out in the
wash.
"But he tried to ring in a cold deck on
us on the wife question, and It was '23'
for him. There are some things the Amer
ican people can't stand, and that Is one
of them."

"Of course, the through line to the

there will be several hundred miles of

Cascades.
'Crossing the Cascades will require
more ' time than any piece of work on
the new line, and while it is in progress
work will also be under way on the other
side of the mountains. By the time the
line from Tacoma is completed across
the Cascades there will be 300 or 400

discrimination shown in case the men are
ordered back to work and that the term
of the agreement will be agreed upon.
The sub-scale committee is composed of
President Mitchell, the three district
presidents, and the three district-secretaries.
They will return to this city
from New York after the conference to
morrow afternoon, and will report to
the convention Tuesday morning at a
special session to be held In Music Hall.
It is expected that the convention will
ratify their report and vote for a re
sumption of work on Monday, May 14,
under the award of the anthracite strike
commission.
While Presldont Mitchell would prefer
an agreement for two years, both he
and the other members of the commit
tee, it Is understood, will bow to the
wishes of the operators and accept an
agreement for three years, if the lat
ter go desire It.

VOTERS ARE QUIET
French Parliament Elections
- Held Without Riots.
RECORD POLL IS CAST
Returns From the Provinces Show
That the Government Supporters
Have Succeeded in Capturing
Large Number of Seats.
PARIS, May 6. The results thus far
announced in the general parliamentary
elections, which were held today, show,
few changes in the Chamber, most of the
former Deputies being: re-elected, but an,
extraordinary number of second ballots
will be necessary in Paris. The present
ballot gives the opposition a majority,
but the second ballot, which will be taken.
May 20, is expected to reproduce the re
sults of the 1902. election, when the repre
sentation of the capital was equally di
vided. Nevertheless the government haa
gained one- seat.
It is estimated that there was a record
poll of votes. Owing to the excitement
caused by the recent strike and the dis
orders occasioned by the taking of inven
tories of church property, the polling!
booths were guarded by military and po
lice, but -the day passed practically with
out Incident, and intervention by the au
thorities was unnecessary.
Great crowds this evening surrounded
the Hotel de Ville, the Ministry of tho
Interior and the newspaper offices, wheret
results of voting were posted, cheering on
hooting when the return of popular can
didates was announced. The success of
prominent men, such as MM. Brlandj
Pressense, Millerand. Lockroy and Mille
voys and Admiral Bienaime, was greeted
with enthusiasm.
Marcel Habert. director of the League
of Patriots, was defeated. Police and cav
alry patrols prevented demonstrations by
tne disorderly element, and good humor
was generally prevalent. Provincial re
turns display an unexpectedly favorable
tendency toward the government, whose
supporters have captured no fewer than
18 seats, against a loss of only two. In
cluding Paris, 411 results are known. Of
these the government captured 188 seats
and the opposition 112. while 111 will re
quire second ballots. The net gain to tha
government is 18 seats.

problems are not the same, that under
consideration in New York relating to
girls who have no homes of their own,
and Milan's difficulty having to do with
families living in one room each. Of the
two problems, that in Milan seems to have
beett rather the more serious, though that
of the poorly paid working girl In the me
tropolis is very perplexing. Investigation
shows that many girls who work In de
partment stores aro not worth more than
f3 a week to their employers. They are
too Ill-nourished and too ill-taught to earn
more. They will not be worth more until
they have been properly fed and properly
taught, and so the situation is serious,
both from their standpoint and from that
of those trying to devise ways and means
to help them. N
As to conditions in Milan, Mr. Dunning

Chances of Living in Battle.
Scientific Ameriran.
In Homeric days a battle was conflict
of armed mobs. The nearer you got to
your assailant the better was your
chance of killing or being killed. The
bigger the man the better were hi
chances in the strife. In these piping
times of mechanical warfare the situation
is reversed. Battles are fought at ranges
of a mile or . so. The smaller the man
the less are his chances of being hit. An
Ingenious mathematician has figured out
that perhaps the casualties on the Jap
anese side must have been considerable
less than those of the Russians in tha
recent war. if It be assumed that the
marksmanship of each was equally good.
The advantage of the Japanese was In
versely as the cubes of their height and
breadth. The average targets offered by
each to the ensmy are as the cubes of
1585 and 1842. or a 10 to IIS. an advan
tage in favor of he Japanese of about
U per cent.
