EARLY CANAL OPENING LIKELY.
Report Recommends Congressional
Legislation Governing Tolls.

Washington, D. c. - Foreshadow.
ing the early completion and opening
of the Panama canal, the Isthmian
canal commission, in its annual report,
recommended congressional legisla-
tion governing canal tolls, organization
for the operation of the canal and for
government of the canal zone, utiliZa-
ing expenses and to repay the capital
invested, and other action.
The commission wished to give at
least eighteen months notice of the
rates, to permit the worlds maritime
interests to readjust their routes and
to build new ships and organize new
transportation companies. II was also
deemed desirable to put the canal TO
use as early as possible, not only to
secure financial returns on the enor-
nous capital invested but to make pos
sible the passage of the worlds fleets
without confusion or delay.
The report showed that the engi-
neers' board has already found that
all the concrete in the great Gatun
locks will be laid by June !, 1912, and
five months later the locks on the Pa
cifc side will be finished except the
gates, which will be ready June /,
1913. Meantime, by April l next, the
giant spillway at Gatun would be at
the ffty-foot elevation and the entire
dam there would be completed by the
following winter. The excavation
through the Culebra cut, the greatest
earth.digeing enterprise the world has
ever seen, will be completed July /.
1913, if the slides are not in excess on
the estimates.

PASTOR ACCUSED
CLARENCE RIcHEsoN OF CAM
BRIDGE, MASS, CHARGED WITH
DEATH OF AVIS LINNELL.
CYANIDE OF POTASSIUM
Clergyman Taken From Home
Of Fashionable Heiress He is
About to Wed.

Boston, Mass. - Arrested in the
home of Miss Violet Edmands, the
heiress he was to have wed in less
than a fortnight, Rev. Clarence Vigil
Thompson Richeson, pastor of the
fashionable Emmanuel Baptist church
of Cambridge, was formally charged
with the murder of Avis Linnell, who
ister's bride. Miss Linnell, instead,
was buried and the wedding gown,
which a score of her friends had
helped her fashion in anticipation Of
her wedding, became her funeral
Shroud. Richeson was arraigned at a
preliminary hearing and pleaded not
guilty. The case was continued to
Oct. 81, the day on which he was to
have married Miss Edmunds.
Trusting implicitly in the love she
bore the clergyman, Miss Linnell, in
her rooms in the local Y. w. c. A,
swallowed what she had been told was
a harmless headache potion. In five
minutes she died, killed by cyanide of
potassium, the dealiest drug known.
The warrant for the formal arrest
of the preacher was issued by Judge
Duff of the criminal court, after VIII
liam Hahan, a druggist of Newton,
Mass, had positively identified Rich
eson as the man to whom he sold a
quantity of cyanide of potassium last
week.
Two Possible Motives for Crime.
The police ascribe two possible no.
tiyes for the crime, either one of
which would make the case one almost
unparalleled in American criminal an
nails.
The first is that, fearing that Miss
Linnell might interfere with his ap-
preaching marriage to Miss Edmunds,
he heiress, Richeson set about to kill
the girl; the other is that he purchased
The drug for Miss Linnell in order that
she might end her own life when she
learned the man she loved was to be.
come the husband of another.
Gossip connected Rev. NJ. Richeson's
name with what was at first believed
10 have been the suicide of the girl.
He answered nothing, but sought re-
fuge in the p~alatial Brookline home of
Moses Grant Edmands, whose daugh-
Ter, worth $250,000, and the heireSs to
her fathers great fortune, was to have
become Richeson's bride in two
weeks. The wedding was to have been
solemnized on Oct. 81, in the First
Baptist church at Newton Center.
More than seven hundred invitations
10 friends of the popular clergyman
and his rich bride-tO-be had been
mailed. They have been recalled.
Pretty little Miss Linnell, a student
at the Boston Conservatory of Music,
believed she was to marry Rev. Mr..
Richeson. One the day of her death
she had read in the Boston papers the
announcement of Rev. Mr.. Richeson's
| engagement to Miss Violet Edmands,
daughter of Moses Grant Edmands. .
| resident of fashionable Brookline, a
Boston suburb. A few hours later she
was found dead, a victim of cyanide
poisoning, in the bathroom of the Y.
w. G.. A. At first the police believed
she had killed herself; later develop.
ments, they maintain, indicate that she
took the drug in the belief that it was
I medicine.
Police Judge Murray has issued a
warrant charging Richeson with first
degree murder.
