Not to Accept
RiChesOn'S
Resignation.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 6.-Whiie
women cried and pleaded that nothing
should be done to appear in any way
prejudieial to the interests of their
pastor. the members of the Immanuei
Baptist church society, tonight, Vot-
ed not to accept the resignation of
Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson who is
now in Charles Street Jail under in
dictment for the murder of his former
Sweetheart, Avis L.innen
owing to the rain the attendance.
tonight was small, less than 10 per-
sons appearing.
Thomas r. NJ. Rumney, chairman
of the finance committee of the
church. presided and the letter of res
ignation sent to Clerk Charles +.
Cummings. was read. The women of
the church, who predominated in the
attendance, for the most part support
ed the pastor. Many We're crying and
some of the male members of the so
cicty shed tears as the controversy
waXed warm. The women argued that
the acceptance Of the resignation at
this time would sci the church against
it's pastor in the eyes OF the publc
and the courts and might be extreme
ly prejudicial to his interests. Others,
faNoring the acceptance OF the feslg-
nation, argued that it had come to the
society unsought and was apparently
the wish of the pastor.
\ vote taken after two hours of dis
cussion showed 30 voted against accept
ance and 10 fer. II was then voted te
lay the matter on the table until the
next regular meeting, Nov. "a.
The clerk was instructed to notify Rev
MIR Richeson of the decision of the so
ciety. The following letter was drawn
up:
"Rev. Clarence V. T, Rlcheson, Charles

to lay the matter of the resignation upon

THE returns as corrected show ma

In either words, nearly 600 voters
who gave in their ballots on the ques-
ton We're about evenly divided. Half the
counties in the State voted YES" Nine
teen of the 20 cities also voted Eyes,

jorities. The No majority is so small
that the activity of Canadian liquor
dealers is alone sufficient to account tor
It. These men. in order that they might
hold their Maine trade crossed the New

New York, Nov. 6.-Charges of gross
cruelty practieed by Capt. James 5.
Robinson of the British steamer Drum
eldrie were made to tile British con-
sui general, today. by. three sailors
who have just arrived here on the
steamer from South African ports.
They said that bad meat with which
they We're served, alleged blows and
curses from the captain and his fore
ing fever-stricken men to work long
hourg. drove some of the crew to mu-
iny at sea and to plot to poison the
captain.
Six of the alleged conspirators were
taken off the vessel at Montevedio and
sent to British prison, after which
the sailors assert the treatment OF the
rest Of the crew grew worse. The three
men declared they would rather go to
jail than serve the remainder OF their
two-year contract under Capt. Rob
inson. The consul general took the
case under Amusement.

needs of China (2.300,00 bales) prob

The consul general at Shanghai re-
ports that there is a temporary de-
mand for American cotton due to the
fact that many domestic producers are
holding back their product, and about
fifty thousand bales have been pur-
chased from the United States. He
thinks the present disturbance in

A New Island
Comes to Light,

Port of Spain, Trinidad Nov. "a
ne" island has appeared near the Ser
penis Mouth, the southern entrance
to the Gulf of Paria, between the Is
land Of Trinidad and Venezuela. Late
on Saturday afternoon a strange up
heaval occurred in the sea a short
distance off the little village of Chat
ham. Huge columns of smoke were
first observed. They We're aceompa-
MED by a tremendous report and fol-
lowed by flames which We're visible for
miles.
The new island is about three acres
in extent, and rises out of the water
to a height of from eight to 10 feet.
Before the upheaval the depth of wa
ter at this spot averaged about 20
feet The governor visited the scene,
on sunday, hut was unable to ap-
preach the island very closely be-
cause tine fire was still burning. 1t
, continued throughout the day. but al
night ii seemed to have burned itself
out, for only smoke arose. 1t was said
today. that residents of the locality
have been able to land on the island
The opinion is held here that the
upheaval was caused by an explosion
of oil under the anticlinal strata The
island is composed mostlx of 5Nd and
there is a distinct smell of OF to it.
II is just off the oil producing dis
trict and close to the asphalt de-
posits.
