CEN. WOOD EXPECTS
RACE HORSE EXODUS
OFFICER FEARS 1T MAY ASSUME
ASPECT OF NATIONAL cALAM.
ITY.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. 22.-In
his annual report Major General
Wood, chief of staff, deplorcs the exc.
dus OF the thoroughbred horse from
this country. General Wood says:
AS a result of recent State legisla.
ton affecting racing there has been
and still continues TO be very extern.
sive shipment out of this country of
the very best thoroughbred blood.
Those shipments In some cases con.
sist of entire studs Of thoroughbreds,
and are assuming the magnitude of
national calamity so far as the effect
on the breeding of thoroughbred stock
In this country is concerned.
This matter touched the mounted
service In such vital way that the
War Department cannot be Indifferent
TO it. While other countries arc
| spending immense sums OF money In
imported thoroughbred stock many of
our most renowned breeders have en-.
tlrely sold out, shipped abroad or are
gradually reducing their establish.
ments.
"The loss of thoroughbred stock to
such an extent as is now taking place
threatens the further improvements
in the American horse and will grad
ually reduce the source from which
the Army can secure proper mount
This matter is one of such import
ance that 1t is thought the attention
OF Congress should be invited to it.

ROMANCE AND MYSTERY
SURROUND GIRLS DEATH

BOSTON, MASS, Special That the
most ingenious and amazing death
plot New England has ever known
will be exposed in the arrest Of a
suspect in the case of Miss Avis Lin
nell, the pretty young girl student
OF the New England Conservatory of
Music, who died under mysterious cir
cumstances at the Young Women's
Christian Association rooms on Sat-
urday, was the declaration made to-
day by Chief of Police Dugan, who
said that an arrest would probably
be made within twenty-four hours.
According to the police Miss Linnell
took a poison, presumably cyanide
of potassium, in the belief that il was
a medicine several hours after she had
eaten luncheon with a mysterious
male companion Saturday afternoon.
Romance and despair are closely
interviewer in the strange case.
Another principal in the tragedy is
the Rev. DR.. Clarence V. T. Richeson,
pastor OF Emmanuel Baptist Church,
of Cam bridge. Mass, whom Miss Lin
nell believed she was 10 marry until
she read the notice of his engagement
to Miss Violet Edmunds, OF Brooxline,
just a few hours before she swallowed
the fatal drug. The Rev. Mr.. Richie
son is Frustrated. He has been inter-
viewed by the police, but refuses to
seS newspaper men. His condition
is said to be serious.
Chief Dugan admitted that the DO
lice have been greatly aided by a for
mer sweetheart of Miss Linnell, whom
she rejected. He is a friend Of her
childhood.
This actor in the drama of love and
death has given the police consider
able information about Miss Linnell's
love affair with the Rev. Mr.. RICHIE
son. He told the authorities that the
two had first met when Miss Linnell
was but sixteen years old, and Richie
son was a theological student at the
Newton Theological Institute.
The authorities have discarded the
theory that Miss Linnsll took her own
life, but refuse TO divulge the grounds
upon which they base their theory
OF murder. 1t has been learned that
the fatal packet, containing the poi
son, was handed to the girl on Satur-
day by another person.
The Rev. Clarence Virgil Thompson
Richeson was born at Rose Hill, Va,
and was educated at Carrollton, Mo.
de entered the New Baptist Theologi-
cal Seminary in 1906 and was grad
uated in 1909, taking a postgraduate
course in the following year. He was
ordained in the Third Church of st.
Louis, and preached in various places
in the North and South, serving two
years in the pastorate of the Hyannis
Baptist Church and succeeded Pastor
GORDON to the Emmanuel Baptist
Church at Cambridge.
