on the contrary, it is the face OF q
weak man The cast Of the features
I is that of one who might be swayed
/ by sudden temptation.
Richeson's type is that of man
who might commit an act and then
pc deeply overcome by remorse, but
he is not of the type TO become fren-
Zied and then seek through self-tor-
ture 10 relieve himself Of his
thoughts.
There are four hypotheses within
the realms Of possibility in the Rich
eson case.
First, his act might have been
prompted through the weight of guilt
resting heavily upon him, bringing
with it remorse sufficiently poignant
to cause self-mutilation.
| Second. with his sudden transition
from pulpit to feion's cell. toscth-
er with the influence naturally exert
ed by his ministerial calling, his belief
in hereafter and the sense of having
betrayed his cloth. there might have
come through the days spent alone III
his cell. brooding over his predica-
ment. q high resolution so firm that
he would be driven by fear of his own
Weaknesses and lack Of will power
TO mutilate himself. This, however,
is improbable. since Richeson, 50
tar as | have gathered by fragment
ary information. is not a man who
could or would endure intense phys
ical pain through high sense Of
duty.
Third. he might be insane. but
do not think SO.
Fourth. he might, if he is guilty.
be laboring under a distorted idea
that his act would so react as TO save
his life or even free him.
Judging again by my uncertain in
formation, Richeson is the sort Of
man who would shrink from an un-
pleasant ordeal and who would hard
~ have will power enough to face a
crisis unless moved by some mighty
impulse. Were Richeson innocent
he may be. of course-it seems hard
ly likely that he would commit such
an act of self-mutilation, since there
would be no reason for it.
Were he guilty. he might, under
the weight of that knowledge and
fear of exposure and punishment,
be nerved up to wound himself.
He would have a powerful motive
for doing something that would save
his lifa or liberty. while # he~-snre
innocent, the natural tendency would
be to stand firm, relying upon his
faith in his religion and not commit
such an act.
While the accused minister may be
innocent or guilty. and while he may
be insane or filed with remorsc, his
act, the circumstances surrounding
it, and the character and history Of
the man. makes most reasonable the
theory of remorsc. or more probably,
an intention to excite sympathy and
to lay a foundation upon which TO
make a fight on the plea of insanity.
Then. too. Richcson's act in mark
ing Il verse from the book of ST.
Matthew. may show that he was suf-
fering from remorse. occasioned by
religious hallucination.

Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented

The proposed arrangement between
the Western Union, the Angio-Amer-
lean and the Direct u. S. companies
will bring the eight cables of the three
companies under one operating con-
troll The consequent increase in
effectiveness and economy will place
the Western Union in a position to
offer certain advantages in cable
service pot now enjoyed by the public.
The other way open to enable
the Western Union to make such i'm
provements and introduce such new
services as it proposes to do, would
be to lay new cables. This would
seem to be the height of folly.
Duplication of the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities at a cost of
many millions, when there are more
than ample facilities for all business,
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully burdened
business and would probably postpone
the reduction of rates or introduction
of new services.

ALAMAGORDO IS A
CENTER FOR FRUIT
Supplies Bulk of the Peaches
Sold in the Ell Paso
Market

Aiamogordo, n NJ. Sept. 15-Alamo-
gordO as a fruit center, especially for
peaches, demonstrated its superiority
this year. The Alamorgordo orchards
supplied almost all the peaches for FL
Paso this year, Ell Paso merchants in
several instances buying entire
orchard crops and gathering them and
shipping them to Ell Paso.
Peaches have been selling here for
as little as a cent q pound, they were
so plentiful. With the continued ad-
dition to the orchard acreage in and
around the city, further arrangements
will be made for shipping the pro-
duct and Alamorgordo expects in a
few years to see many carloads OF
peaches shipped out each season.
Pears and apples also grow well here,
but peaches form the largest fruit
crop of the region.
In several instances, five acres in
fruit in the town of Alamorgordo are
yielding good incomes to their owners
Outside the town many orchards are
taken up land lately-and the acreage
Of land taken up in the fmmediat e
vicinity of the city in the last few
months is tremendous-but very few
pumping plants have been installed.
When this is done. the production of
fruit ought to be unlimited. for the
fertility of the soil has been thor
oughly demonstrated.
When the litigation is settled between
the Alamogordo Improvement company
and the users of water in the Sacra-
mentos, the officials of the company
expect to have much irrigation water
for sale to land owners, especially
owners who buy from the company,
but at present practically all the ir-
rigation has to be done by pumping
and only few pumps have been In
stalled. All homesteaders are putting
out small orchards, and some are
planting alfalfa in small patches
Some dry farming has been practiced
with considerable success also.

Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements II -
essential not only that there be at all
times sufficient cable facilities, under
one control, but that they should be
operated interchangeably with each
other and IN close physical connec-
ton with land lines as one system.
Ample spare facilities are necessary
to provide against the very frequent
cable Interruptions
Neither the Western Union nor any
one of the companies of the Western
Union group has, independently of the
others, facilities enough to handle
the business which at times any one
company might be called upon TO take
care of, because of some particular
rush of business, or because of some
cable interruption. Nor could any one
company furnish all the direct circuits
necessary for efficient service, al
though the combined facilities of
these companies are ample if they
could be used supplementary to each
other and intcrchangeably.
As il is, each company operates its
own cables through separate and dis
tinct Offices and under separate and
distinct management All interchange
of business is by actual transfer Of the
business from one company TO the
other, with the CONSEQUENT delay and
interruption Of a service IN which
seconds are valuable.

The Transatlantic Gable
Situation and Competition

The transatlantic cable situation
is as follows:

The French cables comprise an in

ton.
In competition with these is the
Western Union group of cables. eight

panies, two of which are British
companies owning e.s of the eight
cables.

Limited Business Hours
and Idle Facilities

As at present carried on, the trans
Atlantic cable business is practically
all fash service, l. e. instantaneous.
Owing to the difference in time, there
are only a few business hours of the
day common TO both sides and during
these hours at least 75% of the cable
business is done. This is demon
strated by the accompanying chart.
In the interests of international
business nothing should be done TO
interfere in any way with the so-called
fash or instantaneous service, and
the lines should be kept clear to ac-
commodate such messages during the
few business hours common TO both
countries; but to continue to confne
the cables to this class of service, as
at present, will utilize only about z5%
of the existing capacity of millions of
property and places on that limited
service all the capital, maintenance
and operating charges.

ing organization with no physical
property, but exercising through stock
ownership, lease or contract, operat-

this control all the various properties

advantage in service over what could
