REV. {. v. 7. RICHES0N, UNDER
ARREST FOR MURDER, A
HEART BREAKER.
After Morning Sermon at Kansas City
Church, Three Girls at Same Time
Ask Him When He Was Going to
Marry Them as He Promised-Now
Charged With Murder.

Kansas City.-The Rev. C. ". T.
Richeson, held in Boston on a charge
of having murdered Miss Avis Linnell,
was pastor of the Bethany Baptist
church in this city from. 1901 until
1904, when he resigned by request fol
lowing the sensational disclosures of
three young women, each of whom ac-
cused him of being engaged to her.
A scandal resulted when the three
women, two of them members of the
church, made their accusations against
the pastor at the close of one of his
Sunday morning sermons.
"All through the Sermon said a
member of The congregation, "the
three sat together in the front row.
The sermon was an eloquent one on
Temptations of Young Girls in a
City, Just after the service the
three women approached the preacher.
"'You promised to marry me- said
one; 'are you going to do it?'
"'You promised to marry me, too
said the second; are you going to do
it9'
"'And me, too said the other, cry
ing, How about me7'
"The women all wept Historically.
The Rev. Mr.. Richeson was calm and
said there must be a mistake, and left
the church. Then he went to Liberty.
The trustees wrote for his r~esigna-
tion.'
"Erratic,' Says Girls Mother.
Hyanis, Mass.-FThank God, I be-
lieve no mistake has been made.D
With this exclamation Mrs. Edgar
L%innell, mother of Avis Linnell, re-
ceived the news that the Rev. Clar-
ence V. Il. lRicheson had been arrested
for the alleged murder of her daugh-
ter. Mrs. Linnell later, however, voiced
the belief that Mr.. Richeson was not
accountable.
Later Developments.
Boston.-In Their efforts to clear up
the circumstances of the death of Avis
Linnel, the Hyannis Sunday school
teacher and music student, with whose
murder the Rev. Clarence V. II. Rich
eson is charged, the police have been
unable, it is said, to locate the recep-
tacle which held the poison.
When the girl took the dose of cyan
ide of potassium which caused her
death she was in the bathroom of the
Young Women's Christian association
home, and though the house was search
ed immediately after her dao+b +ha
poison receptacle could not be found.

Abraham Lilly, Of, Raleigh county.

State committee for holding primary
elections but his notion was not in

whom It was submitted.

flee receiving the most units OF the en-
'tireiState; as based upon the magis-
terlal districts Of the State, shall be
declared the nominee for the office
for which he is a candidate.
Explains His Plan.
sTMr."Lilly explained his plan briefly,
MS everybody was familiar with 1t. IN
brief 1t divides the State into units,
one for each 100 votes cast for Taft.
These are apportioned among the mag
isterial districts acc ording to the total
vote cast for Taft In said magisterial
district. The voters at the primary
vote directly for the candidates, and
the units to which each district is
entitled are credited 10 each candi-
date In proportion to the vote received
by him.; Whether more votes are cast
at the primary than at the last ma
ftionnl election. or less. 1t doesn't mat
ter rs each, dlstrictfhas only the num-
! Der OF units TO which 1t is entitled.
The candidates thus receiving the
greatest number OF units In the State
are the nominees. This is the Lilly
direct-votingjor candidates plan, for
which Is claimed the virtue OF elm
mating ballot box stuffing. doing away
With d State convention. and giving
each candidates the value of"units
which his strength in every district
entities lin TO!
After a short discussion, Mr.. For
man moved to adopt the! Lilly plan
for "A statewide primary. The vote
stood:
Ayes: tHazlett. Doyle. woodward,
Dixon, Bright and Forman; noes:
Whyte. Sanders, Martin, Fleming. Mat
thews and Denham. The vote being n
tie. the motion was lost.
1t was then moved by Mr.. Dixon
that the committee adjourn to meet
at Huntington two weeks from yes
terday. In the meantime copies Of
the report of the subcommittee TO be
furnished to each member of the com.
mittee. This motion was lost five to
seven Mr.. Forman voting against It
because lie could not attend meeting
at that time. The meeting then ad.
journed TILL o'clock to-day.
The report of the subcommittee,
which is still pending before the COM
mittee, will be taken up to-day. With
Mr.. Dixon absent. and II no change in
sentiment occurs among the members
from what was plainly manifest last
night. it was freely predicted that the
subcommittee report would finally
prevail However, there is strong op.
position against this plan-state.wide
primary with the State as, unit. 1t
will probably show strong to-day, and
other suggestions looking to a com.
promise will probably be made.

FARM PLANS
FOR PROFIT
Conservation of Soil Fertility
by Rotations Together With
Applications of FcrtiI-
izers Overlooked.

Few farmers realize the difference
In income that may be produced on
their farms by the systematic intro
duction and rotation Of clover or
other leguminous crops over the en-
tire area of their tillable land. The
planning Of rotations to meet certain
feed requirements and to grow crops
which shall be the greatest income
producers under given conditions is
a problem that is not easily solved
by all the tillers of the soil. The con-
servatlon of soil fertility by appro.
pirate rotations together with appli-
cations Of manures and fertilizers in
such manner as will maintain a per
manent system Of agriculture has been
largely overlooked by farm owners in
the past. Farmers Bulletin 37e a.
slsts the farmer In solving these diff
dculties, and a copy may be had free
on application TO a member OF con-
gress or 10 tho secretary of agricul-
ture, Washington, D. G. The bulletin
discusses rundown farm IN Illinois.
and plans six different types of farm
ing that may be substituted for the
usual one of corn and oats now prac-
tised, SO as 10 raise the income all
the way from two TO Ave times as
much az that commonly received. and
at the same time increase the fertil-
ity Of the soil.

PROFITABLE TYPE OF HORSE
Old Farmer Tells OF Manner In Which
He Makes Animals and Services
Pay for Keeps.

In regard 10 the cost OF a horse"
| must first and firmly say that re-
celved great profits from my horses
and their services pay me for their
keeping Am an old farmer and never
had a purebred mare. but by good
breeding now have the seven -eighths
Percheron. Beginning with the suck
ling. they are Of no bother TO me. for
until they are a month old the mother
Is brought up once In the forenoon
and once In the afternoon. but after
wards Il II kept at the stable. says n
writer IN Baltimore American. Then
IN the fall before they are two they
are broke and ready for light service
IN the spring. So from the time they
are two years old they pay their own
way. Ny coming twoyear-olds weigh
100 pounds and bring $3.50, while the
coming three.year old bring $500. Thus
by keeping our best young Percheron
mares and clubbing together TO buy a
registered stallion ! ind there Is a
ready sale and clear profit for farm
CT In raising horses, and their services
viii pay for their keeping.
