MANY REQUESTS
 FOR NEW LAW EMPLOYERS LIABILITY ACT SUS- TANNED BY U. $. SUPREME
 COURT.
PROTECTS THE WIFE
Also Employer Where Loan is Less Than $20O-The New
 Law.

Little Rock, Dec 20-Since the su- preme court of the United States af- firmed the lower court in sustaining the constitutionality of the Employ CTS Liability act, the secretary of state is receiving daily requests from all parts of the country for copies of the act. and within the last two weeks has sent out over thirty copies of it to labor organizations, corporation ai- torneys and other interested persons.
 It appears that the Arkansas law Is one of the most stringent on the su;,- ject in any state and there is, there fore, great deal of interest in it. The act, approved February 20, 1911, is as follows:
 That no assignment or order for wages to be earned in the future to secure a loan of less than $2O0, shall be valid against any employer of the person making any such assignment or order. until said assignment or or- der is accepted in writing by the em- ployer and said assignment or order and the acceptance of same has been filed with the recorder of the county where the party making the assign ment ar order resides if a resident Of the state where he is employed.
 No assignment or order for wages to be earned in the future shall be valid when made by married man, unless the written consent of his wife to making such assignment or order for wages, shall be attached tNereto."

ent to me and after MT. Lee brought me his family history from Virginia l became confirmed in my belief
 "Richeson suffered tremendously from the strain of humiliation, feeling not so much about his personal well fare as the fact that the church would be affected by criticism and caustic remarks when a minister was placed in his position.
 "It has been stated that seven out of ten members of the Richeson fam fly. which includes representatives Of both sexes. have shown signs of in sanity and some cases have been so marked that it is matter of public record that they are confined in fn- sane asylums of the South"
 Richeson's act will undoubtedly cause a complete change in the plans of counsel for the minister. From present indications 1t looks as though the case may be allowed to go Oil probably after the jury is empanellel said the prosecution outlines its case. the defense will call for an insanit / commission to pass upon Richeson.
 Moses Grant Edmands, father Of Miss Violet Edmands, who was engag- ed to Richeson at the time of the death, refuses to discuss the affair to. day

ROBERTS SAYS ITS PERSECUTION YOUNG DESHA COUNTY MAN DOES NOT WANT TO RETURN TO
 MONTANA.
SAYS HE'S INNOCENT
Claims That He is Being Hounded By Railroad Company-Gover.
 nor to Hear Case.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. POE. Rob- erts, young man who is in the GUS tody of the sheriff of Desha county, claims that he is being persecuted by the officials of the Great Northern railroad in Montana, by whom he YVES formerly employed. They caused his arrest on larceny charge and he is resisting the requisition that has been made upon the governor of Arkansas for his return. It is charged that he was employed by the railroad in the collection of poll taxes from the em- ployes of the road and that he appro- priated wrongfully $976. It is sad that the company had formerly al- lowed the collector five per cent of collections but later abrogated this rule and that Roberts took it any way.
 Curt Denis. a messenger from the acting governor of Montana, arrived in Little Rock today and appeared be- fore the governor seeking a warrant of arrest. Attorney X. o. Pindall, appeared on behalf of the alleged fug- itive and agreed that the case would be taken up on January for a full hearing of the issues involved. Rob- erts. who recently lost his wife, says that he has committed no crime and that he. has been bounded by the rali- road company through spite.

MEANS NEW TREATY
 WITH RUSSIA NO DEFENSE TAKEN BY RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT AT THE AERO.
 CATION OF TREATY.
ANSWER IS RECEIVED
State Department Gives Out No De- tails of Reply But it is Received
 in Good Faith.

Washington, Dec 20.-From a high vice learned tonight that negotiations were under way for new treaty be- tween United States and Russia to take the place of the treaty of 1882. which, by action of the president and Congress will terminate December 31, 1912.
 This means that Russia has accept ed the notice of termination without offense and stands ready to make a new agreement with the United States on terms proposed by the lat ter country There seems to be 10 question that under the treaty to be made American citizens duly provided with passports, whether Jew or Gen. tile, will be admitted by Russia
 long series of plomatic negotia- tions, both in Washington and in St. Petersburg, will be necessary however before even tentative draft can be ready for consideration by the co1I- tracing nations.
 The reply of Russia to President Taft's notification regarding the end ing of the treaty was received today at the State Department. It came from Ambassador Guild. The depar6- ment declined to give out the text Of the reply but declared that it had beea received in good faith.
 It became evident today that the breaking off of diplomatic relations between the two countries has not been considered.
 Immediately after the Russian reply was received at the State Department Secretary Knox called together his as- sistants and counsellors. The reply was read and discussed and certain parts of it relating to trade relations were considered. No one about the Department would say anything fur ther than that the reply had been G. ceived and that itA contents for the present would remain secret.
 William Sulzer today in the interest of peace and comity receded from his entrenched position behind the Sulzer resolution, terminating the treaty O. 1882 and the entire House of Repre- tatives, with the exception of MT. Ma con, of Arkansas, receded with him. The House in viva voce vote adopt the action of the president which passed the Senate yesterday.
 This, Congress officially agrees, that MT Taft was right and a treatr will terminate automatically one year from the 31st of December.
 The Sulzer resolution passed the Hnnse last we-k by a vote of 300 t7 to !. It was rejected by the Senate at 'i requ 5, of the Wit ,l,,use and the Lodge resolution was substituted

ACCUSED BOSTON MINISTER IN. FLEETS BAD INJURIES UPON
 HIMSELF IN JAIL.
HE MAY BE INSANE
> His Lawyer Believes He is-OperatiOn Was Necessary to Save
 His Life.

Boston, Dec. 20.-Rev Clarence V. T. Richeson. awaiting trial on Jan uary 15 on an indictment charging him with the murder in the first de- gree by administering cyanide of pot assium to Avis Linnell, of Hyannis, in Boston, cn October 15, seriously ln- juTed himself in his cell at the Charles Street Jail today with a piece of tin from a marmalade can. The self in- flicted injuries were such that the accused preacher was nearly dead from loss of blood when the guards, attracted by his groans, summon 7d physicians who decided that all imme- date operation was necessary to save his life
 The physicians who were summoh- ed to attend the minister are of the opinion that Richeson did not intend to commit suicide This opinion is also shared by District Attorney Pe,- letter.
 
 unless blood poisoning should set in and that he will be able to be in court on January 15, when he is to be cali ed for trial for the alleged murder of Miss Linnell.
 Dr. Lathrop, who attended him, sail
 Unless unlocked for complications set in Richeson will be completely re- covered in ten days or two weeks. ! do not think his condition is serious. When l arrived at the jail he WAS bleeding profusely and had already lost a great deal of blood.
 "It is unlikely that blood poisoning will develop despite the fact that the injuries were caused by piece of tin. The facilities at the jail were very good and we took greatest precau- tion to prevent blood poisoning setting in"
 William A. Morse, of Richeson's counsel however, believes that the trial will of necessity be postponed because of the prisoners conditiou. MT Morse, who was early at the jail, said this afternoon:
 q have suspected for a long time that Richeson was not alright mental 1y. and I was especially careful n calling the attention of my associate, John L. Lee. of Lynchburg, Va, to this fact a, the same time requesting him to get all the data obtainable in Richeson's old home relative to the family history
 "I did not care to make any state ment which the public would regard as means for defense and in view of thorough investigation of his case, we did not feel 1t necessary to avail ourselves of such a defense I rec- ognized the fact that it would have prejudiced us in the eyes of the pub- lie to make statement.

MAYOR JORDAN
 ISSUES ORDERS TELLS NATURAL GAS PEOPLE THAT STREET WORK MUST
 BE DONE RIGHT.
MAY STOP DIGGINGS
Chief Executive of the Citys Says Work Is Not Satisfactory and
 He Will Act.

Mayor 4. C. Jordan yesterday ad- dressed a letter to Manager Charles E. Bair. of the Pine Bluff Natural Gas Company, in which he said that fhe slow manner in which the streets Of the city are being replaced and repaired is causing a great deal of dissatisfaction to the business inter- ests' of Pine Bluff and the public generally.
 In his letter Mayor Jordan insist ed that the repair work proceed more rapidly, and demanded that the Natural Gas Company put more men and more experienced men af work. He declared that the poor and un- skilled manner in which the work was being done was wholly unsatis- factory and would not be accepted by the city.
 For some days the contractor has had boys of tender years to work relaying brick pavements, and in many instances the work is of an in- ferior kind" says Mayor Jordan, q ordered the workmen to take up some of the pavement and replace it on Main street a few days ago. and will continue to do so until the pave ments are restored to their former good condition. have also notified MT. Bait that he cannot make any more excavations on paved streets until he employs an additional force of workmen to carry on the work,
 MT Bair has assured me that he would insist and so ordered the con- tractor, Mr. Hale. in my presence, to increase his force of men. and if he does not do so he will employ the men himself and charge amount of their services to the contra ctor who has contracted with the Natural Gas Company to do the work. have also notified MT. Bair that un- less this is done that I would be forced to take advantage of the clause in their contract which gives the city the right to replace the paved streets at the company's ex- pense. I will do this immediately if the city is not given relief
 Orders Compiled With
 Manager Charles E. Bair, of the Pine Bluff Natural Gas Company. yesterday added fifty men and teams to the force of men already at work removing the dirt and debris caused by the laying of the new gas mains, and will ruch the work of cleaning up the streets and replacing the paw ing.
 Numerous complaints have been made regarding the condition of the downtown streets which, Mir. Baif says, would have been remedied had the work not been interrupted by the rainy weather which has pre- vailed for the past several weeks
 Concerning the criticism of the manner that the pavement are be- ing replaced, the manager of the Natural Gas Company stated that the contract for this work had been let to Mir. Hale and was being super yised by a man ppOinted by City En- gineer Allen.
