A veto by the President for the District
appropriation bill!
That is what Chairman johnson Of the
House District committee promised for
the bill on the floor Of the House shortly
before noon today. when the bill was
passed. Representative johnson, In a
mixture Of praise for the House conferees
who have kept out OF the bill legislation
which Mr.. johnson termed "monstrous"
and censure for five points in the bill
which he declares have no business there,
declared thta If the President Is consist
ent he will do to this bill exactly what
he has done to the army appropriation
bill-veto It."
Il don't expect the President will veto
this BILL" remarked Representative Bur-
Lesson OF Texas, in charge OF the bill, Il
move the House adopt the conference re-
port"
~ Burleson in Anguish.
The House did so and as the gavel fell
and passed the bill with more than two
millions less than the District asked for.
Representative Burleson sank into his
seat in mock anguish of soul and body,
and smiled to think the task Of feeding,
clothing, schooling and running the Dis
trict is at an end for this session.
When the House met at 1890 o'clock
today, especially to consider the confer
ence report, Representative Burleson ex-
planned briefly the economies in the bill.
and said the major portion Of the in
crease as allowed finally by the conferees
Is made up Of street extensions, suburban
sewers and similar improvements.
Representative Mann asked him about
the appropriations for new schools. Rep
resentative Burleson explained that two
new high schools would be started under
the bill There was slight discussion
over the failure of the bill to carry any
appropriation for new school buildings for
children from the kindergarten to the
eighth grade.
No one heard it but the few persons
directly interested, on account Of a merry
party of legislators who were using the
occasion to tell drol stories on the floor
of the House. In general, however. Mr..
Burlesons answer was that Supt. David
son had been instructed to bring into
the House appropriations committee next
year definite plan regarding future in
creases in the school system. 1t is I'M
derstood that he will do so, said Mr..
Burleson.

SANE AT TIME OF HIS CRIME
Also in Right Mind at Present
Declare Alienists
Subject to Emotional Disturbances
at Odd Times, Say
Experts.

Boston. May l7.-Clarence Richeson,
slayer of Avis Linnell. slept quietly in
his cell in the death house In the state
prison last night, ignorant that the
governor had refused to commute his
sentence.
The announcement of the decision OF
tho alienists that he is sane and that
the governor would not urge clemeEcy,
viii De made TO the prisoner today.
The execution OF Richeson will take
place early next week, probably Mon
day.
Richeson's last hope of escaping the
death chair expired last night when
Governor Foss announced he would not
refer Richeson's petition for COM
mutation of sentence to the executive
council The statement of the gov
ernor followed closely the hliDg Of the
reports of the special insanity com
mission. which declared the man sane
although subject to hts of hysterical
Insanity.
The commission found that Riche-
son was sane at the time OF the muir
der and that he is sane at present
The statement issued by Governor
f'oss follows:
Executive clemency will not be
extended in the case OF Clarence " n.
Richeson. The prisoner was sentenc-
ed upon his own confession and with
out trial for crime which II appears
impossible that any normal man could
commit.
After his confession aud sentence
plea of insanity was set up by his
counsel and strongly supported by
.ahidaHts extending over his life The
character of these nflidayits left no
course for the governor other than TO
submit these and the prisoner him
self to an examination 10y our lead
ing alienists In order 10 protect the
commonwealth from the charge that
the man was actually insane when the
decd was committed as well IS At the
present time.
THE evidence shows that Richeson's
family is heavily inflicted with insan-
it's. that he himself is a neurotic, a
somnambulist and a neurasthonic; that
he is subject To extreme emotional dis
turbances, marked by loss Of memory,
which two alienists have diagnosed as
hysterioal insanity, one physician add
ing the alternate term OF hystcricai
delirium ana the majority opinion in
dicating that these attacks are hys-
terical attacks. marked by emotional
disturbances of brief duration. with
loss of memory during the attacks and
for a varying period following.
"The evidence. however while clear
ly revealing these attacks, indicates
that his crime was not committed by
him during such an attack. Therefore,
while there is some divergence of opin-
ion among the alienists as to whether
the facts indicate actual insanity, there
is sulhcient grounds for the conclu-
sion that he is accountable for his
crime and that the exercise of execu-
tive clemency in this instance would
be contrary to the public good

DUFF GORDONS DENY STORY
TOLD BY TITANIC FIREMAN

London. May 1.-THE greater part
of the Titanic inquiry today was tak-
en- up probing the statement of Chas
Hendrickson. one of the surviving
firemen, who had said Sir Cosmo and
Lady Duff Gordon, two of the five
passengers i'm a partly filed lifeboat,
had protested aginst returning to the
scene of the disaster To- try 60 rescue
some struggling in the water The
Duff Gordons were both in court with
legal advisers.
Cross examined by Mr.. Duke, coun-
sci for the Gordons, Hendrickson
stuck to his evidence. in which he
said:
The passengers protested against
the boat going back"
Duke suggested that Hendrickson
was the first TO hint at a reward for
the crew of the boat and produced q
document in Hendrickson's hand writ
ing. giving the names of the crew,
which he had handed TO Duff Gordon
to enable him TO make out checks to
the value of $25 for each of them
Dukes questions indicated the case Of
the Duff Gordons would be an abso-
lutte denial of the story. They will
support this evidence by other mem
bers of the crew.
