CHARITY WORK FOR
WINTER BEGUN NOW
Various Organizations Are
Raising Funds to Assist
the Needy Ones.
Charitable organizations and So

Charitable organizations and So
cieties are preparing for the winter
relief work among the poor. One or
ganization already has received $500
worthy poor during the coming winter,
and other societies and organizations
are busy raising funds.
1t is expected that the winter of
1911-1912 will be a very hard one and
that large numbers of poor families
will be forced to appeal for aid. al
though men are loath to accept char
ity. Money, clothes, provisions and
fuel will be accepted by the various
benevolent societies.
BY the next meeting of the Wayne
County Council of Charities, Novem-
Der 20, it is thought that the work Of
soliciting funds for charity will be
we'll under way. The Associated
Charities which lends aid to a large
number of the poor has raised $500
so far. Last year $1,398.24 was used
by this organization in it's relief work.
aside from the coal and provisions
which were distributed. This year the
finance committee, composed of Ben
jamin Johnson, George Knollenberg,
Samuel Gaar and Walter Doan, assist
ed by a committee composed of Tim
othy Nicholson, Addison Parker,
Arthur L. Smith, Henry r. Siekmann,
John Alderman, Ed Haas and F. l..
Terrence, sent out appeals for con-
tributions to the fund of the Associat-
ed Charities.
AS the winter progresses the Char
tiles organization expects supplies of
provisions and other necessities of life
to be donated by the merchants, as
has been the case in past years.
Calls for aid are being made to the
Salvation Army now and in order to
prepare for the cold weather Captain
Deuter, head of the Army in this city
is planning to petition merchants and
charitably inclined citizens to con-
tribute to the funds of the Army. Cap
tain Deuter expects to raise $1,000, the
amount raised last year, by personal
Army also distributes great deal of
clothing and provisions.
Captain Deuter is very much enthus-
ed over the plans for Christmas. In
1910 the Army and the Elks lodge
made scores of poor families happy,
the two organizations cooperating in
the work. The lodge distributed pro-
visions to needy families while the
Army placed clothing in the hands of
those who were much in need of win
ter wearing apparel and gave toys to
youngsters who knew nothing of the
Christmas spirit.
In talking of this matter an officer
Of charitable society stated that he
hnew nothing more sorrowful than the
p4etures' of poor children with their
faces pressed to the window panes of
toy shops during the Christmas
season.
Captain Deuter and a committee
from the Eiks lodge viii meet within
the next week CT SO and arrange for
the Christmas distribution.
I Other societies and organizations
which do a great amount Of charity
work are the Penny Club and the
Women's Relief Corps.

WANTS HIS FREEDOM

Having been appealed to by Allan
Mcleod, a prisoner at the county Jail,
to assist him in securing his release,
the Rev. H. S. James OF the United
Brethren church conferred with Po-
lice Supt Gormon today in regard to
the matter. Supt. Gormon informed
the minister that if Mcleod is earnest
in his plea, and his statement to the
effect that his family is unsupported
during his confinement is true that
the best course to pursue would be to
write to the authorities OF the Mas
sachusetts town which Mcleod claims
as his home and learn something about
his record. 1t is likely that this will
be DONE

MOVES OF PASTOR
TRACED BY POLICE
TO Ascertain if Richeson Met
Avis Linnell On the
Fatal Day.
(National News Association)

BOSTON,, Oct. 28.--Two hours lost
out of the record of the lives of Rev
Clarence V. T. Richeson AID Avis Lin
nell, the Hyannis choir singer, OF
whose murder he Is accused, ccnsti
tutes the only missing link in TIE
chain of evidence that will bird the
clergyman to the death chair, police
official declared today.
Boston detectives have succeeded In
tracing the separate movements of DR.
Richeson and the dead girl on the way
of the crime to within two hours time
During those missing hours, the
state expects to prove that Richeson
met her and gave her the cyanide
potassium that caused her death In
the Boston Y. w. C. A.
Two weeks ago today Richeson left
his home with the Carter family or
Magazine street about 1880 In the
afternoon. Avis Linnell left the Al
sociation about 2 o'clock. Richesor
appeared at the home of his fiancee
Miss Violet Edmands in Brookline a
little after 4. Miss Linnell returned
to her rooms between AIS and 4:3O.
So far no one has been found who
saw Richeson and Avis Linnell to
gether within the two hours that the
police say they spent in each others
company. The police say that they
have found girl who will testify
that Avis Linnell. after she had beer
out in the afternoon on the day she
died, told her she had been walking
in the Fonway with Richeson. Blu,
such information as that can not be
used as evidence in a murder trial
1t is clearly hearsay and incompetent
II this girl had seen the couple to
gether that would be a different thing
Chief Dugan of the Boston Bureau
of Criminal Investigation has statet
that it is not absolutely essential t.
his case to prove that Richeson ant
Avis Linnell met on the fatal Satur
day. He says that the poison coult
have been sent by mail or by messen
ger. But the trouble with this, so fal
as the prosecution is concerned, /,
that it would be probably just as hare
, to trace a package of poison by mai
or messenger as it would be to place
the pastor and girl together.

CONSERVATION FOR
STATE IS FAVORED
John Macy Returns from the
First Meeting of Its Kind
Held in Indiana.

John Macy, of Dalton township, one
of three Wayne county farmers ap-
pointed as delegates to the first In
diana conservation congress, held at
indianapolis yesterday. was in Rich
mond last night on his return from the
gathering which he characterized as
being notable one in every respect.
ut was a good deal like a farmers
institute" said Mr.. Macy, excepting
that it went by a different name 1t
was most interesting session
throughout and it indicated very fore
IDLY that the people in general, and not
the farmer alone are becoming deeply
concerned in the matter of farm pro-
duction. Throughout the discussions
there was one central idea dwelt on
that there is turning in the tide and
instead of the exodus from farm to
city. the tendency for the city man to
turn back to the soil is becoming more
and more pronounced. Another idea
that was given prominence was the
necessity for a higher degree of land
cultivation. 1t was shown by statis-
tics presented that in those foreign
countries where farms are much
smaller than in the United States that
the production per acre of wheat and
in fact most all farm products was
much higher than here"
Few From Wayne.
Few Wayne county farmers attend
ed the conservation congress, though
Randolph. Union and Henry counties
as we'll as many others in Eastern In
diana were largely represented. Gov
ernor Marshall and several college
presidents, including President Bryan,
of Indiana and President Stone, of
Purdue. were in attendance and the
first effort to stimulate interest in the
conservation of the States natural re-
sources will. it is believed, bring forth
excellent results.
The addresses yesterday morning
included short review of the purpose
OF the organization Of the Indiana
branch by its president, William Hol-
ton Dye; discussion of "Conserva-
tion and Research" by William L.
Bryan. president of Indiana univer-
sity; an exposition Of THE Corn Prob

president of the Indiana Corn Grow

tion." by Winthrop E. Stone. president

1t was a busy day for the conser-
vationists. They utilized even the
lunch hour for the purpose of instruc-
ton. At the noon luncheon at the
Claypool hotel n talk by Howard H.
Gross, president of the National Soil
Fertility League. which has headquar-
ters in Chicago. was given.
For the afternoon, a program of good
things was carried out. Governor
