RICHESON ADMITS HIS GUILT
Former Boston Pastor Confesses He
Gave Sweetheart Poison That
Caused Her Death.

Boston Rev Clarence V. T. Rich
eson confessed his guilt of the muir
der of his former sweetheart, Avis
Linnell of Hyannis, in document
made public by his counsel.
The confession declares that the &C
cused is guilty 'of the offense of
which he is indicted" which is murder
in the first degree. He was accused
Of giving her cyanide of potassium.
Whether Richeson will pay the ex-
IRENE penalty, which under Massachu-
sets law is death in the electric chair,
no court official cared to predict.
District Attorney Pelletier, however,
said that the trial set for January Is
would surely be called and that he
would accept no compromise in the
way of plea to lesser crime. 1t
was pointed out that if the district at
torney maintained this attitude only
an insanity commission or commute
ton by the executive council and the
governor could save Richeson from
death.

CURRENCY PLAN IS OUT
BILL CHANGING BANK SYSTEM TO
PREVENT PANlcS DRAFTED.
Differs in Several Important Provis-
ions From Original
Measure.

Washington.-The national mon
etary commission, after four years OF
study and labor. have drafted bill
to revise the currency system of the
United States designed to prevent
recurrence of such unfortunate imam
cial conditions as prevailed during the
money panic of 1907.
The bill consists of fifty-nine sec
tons and in general follows the lines
of the so-called Aldr1ch plan But the
commissions bill shows some tmpor-
tant changes from the original or even
from the revised draft of MrGAldrich's
plan.
The bill Incorporates the National
Reserve association OF the United
States, with an original capital Of
00,000,000 instead of the $300,0OO.-
900 as first proposed by Mr.. Aldrich.
Through an elaborate machinery in
volving fifteen branches of the associ-
alton, each branch being the center OF
a group OF local associations OF banks.
the National Reserve association is
authorized to issue notes against prop
erly Endorsed commercial paper. The
bill provides for the admission to the
reserve association of state banks
and trust companies that subscribe to
It's conditions as well as OF the nation
al banks already in existence.
The circulating notes OF the assoc1a-
ton shall be received at par in pay
ment for all dues to the United States
and salaries and debts owed by the
United States. unless gold is speciti-
cally set forth in the contract, and all
dues or debts to any bank or trust
company shall be payable In the
notes. The notes shall constitute a
first lien upon all the assets OF the
paid by the association upon its de-
posits
Besides it's duties IN the rediscount-
ing of paper for the providing OF an
elastic currency, the association shall
act as disbursing agent for the United
States government and shall also
transact business abroad, authority be-
ing given for the establishment of for
eign branches. The assets of the as
ISOLATION and of local branches and
districts shall be exempt from local
and state taxation except as to real
estate, while federal tax falls auto
matically upon the association for its
failure to maintain the SO per cent. re-
serve required by the act.
The bill attempts to prevent the
Capitalization of the control OF the
system in any one locality. In the dis
tr1cttng of the country for the fifteen
branches, division is made largely by
geographical and not financial stand
ards.
The sections which will attract
widest public interest and arouse the
most debate are those relating to the
issuance Of currency by the associa-
ton. The sections follow broadly the
Aldrich plan.

New York = Eight persons per-

surance Society building, an entire
block at Broadway, Cedar, Pine and
Nassau streets, was destroyed by fire.
The loss was 100000, besides many
valuable records which cannot be re-
placed.
The firemen discovered a man i'm
prisoned In the vault of the Mercan-
tile Safe Deposit company on the
Cedar street side of the building. 1t
was reported that he was the pres1-
dent of the company, who had rushed
into the vault in an effort to save val
liable books and securities. The last
rites of @he church were administer
ed to hitn while the firemen worked
franticalIy to release him.
Police officials reported that the
loss of life would be eight. Three
men jumped from the roof OF the
building into Cedar street, the police
reported and were killed. They were

of the building, it is supposed, and

The fire started in the Cafe Savarin,
an eating house in the basement.
While the restaurant employees were
smothering the flames in the kitchens
the blaze crept up the elevator shafts
without their knowledge and a few
minutes later broke out in unre-
pressed fury on the upper floors. The
streets were filled with slush and ice
and the day was thick and foggy,
making the work of the fremen more
difficult than in fair weather.
The big building was also the home
of the Union and Southern Pacific
railroads, the banking house of Au-
Trust company, now subsidiary OF
the Isankers' Trust company; the
Mercantile Safe Deposit company and
a number of New York financial firms.
Millions upon millions of dollars in
securities and cash were in the i'm
merse vaults of the Equitable com
parry and in the vaults of the trust
and safe deposit companies, but it is
not believed the heat of the fire can
penetrate the safes, and there will be
no loss from this source. The heav-
lest loss besides that on the building
WIS caused by the destruction of in
STRANGE and railroad records.
