INDICTED ON FIVE COUNTS
Grand Jury Charges Rev. c. v. r.
Richeson With Murder. r

Boston. Nov. Rev. Clarence V.
Il. Richeson, pastor OF Emmanuel Bap-
fist church, Cambridge, was indicted
on five counts charging murder in
the first degree by the Suffolk county
grand jury for the alleged poisoning
on Oct. IA of his former sweetheart,
Miss Alva w. Linnell of Hyannis. The
grand jury reported its findings to
Judge George A. Sanderson in the
superior criminal court after hearing
more than thirty witnesses. 1t is un-
derstood that the jurors were unani-
nous in ordering the indictment.
BY the returning of this true bill the
necessity of holding hearing in the
municipal court Is obviated.
The indictment, which is said to be
almost unique in the annals of Massa-
chusetts homicides in which poisoning
has figured, is of the so called blanket
type" the five counts being so wordef
as to permit the introduction of evil
dence by the government as to any of
several methods by which the poison
may have been conveyed to the dead

TURKEY SEEMS
TO Be GAINING
SuItan's Forces Hope to Retake
City Of TripoIl.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The recapture
of Tripoli by the Turks seems immi-
nent to officials of the Turkish embas-
sy here, in the light of official advices
from Constantinople. The dispatch
states that an attack was made on
Fort e-Misri-Ep-Henn and that the
Italians had evacuated the place, leav-
ing behind a great quantity of ammu-
milton and other supplies.
The losses of the Italians are re-
ported to be enormous, while the
Turks are said to have lost forty
killed and about 100 wounded. The
Turkish forces, reinforced by volun-
teers, first advanced upon Tripoli on
the night of Oct. 25, breaking the
lines of the Italians at different
points. This attack lasted until 4
o'clock the next morning, when the
Italians retreated to a remote cor
ner of the town.
Tripoli, Nov. ARAB forces, sup
ported by a battery of Turkish artil-
lery, advanced into a grove to the
east of Tripoli city and occupied two
abandoned forts From there they
dropped a few shells into the town,
but their guns were soon silenced by
the Italians, who succeeded in cap
turing four pieces.

New York, Nov. THE end has

ton filed by the American Tobacco

REBELS MAKING
STUBBORN STAND
Chinese Imperial Forces Fail to
Retdke HdnkOw.

Peking, Nov. 1.-Fighting between
the rebel forces and the imperialists
continues, but it is believed the rebels
are making a determined resia .ance.
Late advices received here indicate
that Hankow was not .retaken by the
imperialists, although General Yin
Tchang captured the railway station
Immediately to the north. Contrary
to promises, however, the railway
service has not been resumed nor has
telegraph communication been re-es
tablished.
In the meantime there are serious
dangers along the railway line be-
tween the war minister's position and
Picking. Disaffection among the troops
and the people has prevented satisfac
tory communication between the va.
rious sections of the loyal army.
Yuan Shi Kai started for the front
and now is at Sinyuanchau. Nego-
tiations looking to settlement have
been under way between Yuan Shi
Kai and the revolutionary leaders, but
the latter have expressed themselves
as having little faith in the promises
of the throne.
Many Americans are among the for
eigners who are seeking refuge here
from the interior. There is only one
American family at Taiyuanfu, which
is in the hands of the revolutionaries.
but there are many throughout the
province of Shansi. ~ -
The native press has received the
reform edicts favorably. The Chinese,
remembering how frequently the prom
Uses contained in former edicts were
forgotten, may not be satisfied with
these, however. The reformers in
Picking are divided into two parties,
the extemeists, mainly Southerners,
who insist upon the expulsion of the
Manchus, and the moderates, who are
numerous throughout the empire and
who are Indifferent whether the dy-
nasty is Manchu or Chinese, but want
great administrative changes.
1t is stated in some quarters that
Yuan Shi Kai has been appointed pre-
mier. 1t is added that the govern.
ment intends to accede to every de-
mand made by the Lanchau soldiers
and other disaffected troops and that
it is expected that the ministry will
resign.

Treasury Department Denies Story Of
Wholesale Counterfeitina. r.

Washington, Nov. Hundreds of
inquiries from all sections of the
country are being received at the
treasury department from those per-
sons who have believed recent re-
ports that all nickels dated 1910 are
counterfeit. The reports were spread
persistently in the West and South
and now are being circulated in the
East, occasioning banks and business
men much Inconvenience.
There are 3O,O0OO00 nickels of 1910
In circulation and, so far as the treas
ury knows, all are genuine. Some
of them were discolored in the mint
ing by fumes of sulphuric acid, which
gives them an unusual appearance.

With twenty peremptory challenges

If all the thirty peremptory c'ial

and after these are exhausted a final
twelve men will have to be selected,
impervious to challenge for cause.

KEEP A STRING ON IRELAND
Old Age Pensions az Alternative for
Subsidy in Home Rule Plan.


London, Nov. 1.-The Irish home
rule scheme, which has been under
secret preparation for some time, was
discussed by the cabinet, it is BE-
lieved, for the first time. The theory
has been current that the imperial
parliament will be asked to launch
the Irish government with a subsidy
estimated at from 100000 to $780,
100000.
An alternative suggested In place of
lump grant is that the government
maintain some item of Irish expense.
Old age pensions principally are men
toned.
The best opinion is that the imperial
parliament will keep control of Irish
customs and excise, thus insuring a
general system for the United King
dom and preventing Ireland from rails
ing protective wall against England,
as the largest colonies have done Z
