codes REMAIN IN
the EQUITABLE RUINS
All Efforts to Locate Thorn Yesterday
Proved Unsuccessful.

New York, Jan. 11.-Between $780,
00G.c00 and $4O0, ,0Oo, 600 in cash and Sc
curities were removed intact late to-
day from the vaults of two Of the
f1nancia! institutions, whose quarters
were destroyed in the great fire that
gutted the Equitable Life Assurance
society building on Tuesday. The
vaults of the Equitable Trust COM
pany alone yielded $S00,0ee, ,oo0-mostly
securities held under corporate and in
GiviGUal trusteeship. These were
transferred under an escort of police
to the company's temporary offices
away down Broadway Some Of tho
s1cng boxes were carried away under
the arms Of clerks and other boxes
were loaded into wagons, which were
followed by a curious crowd of sight
seers.
There was not sign in the interior
Of the massive steel treasure caves,
the trust company officers said. that
the heat of the fire had penetrated
them.
Many millions more were taken from
the vaults of the Mercantile Trust
company, sc, GEO 900 Of which was rep
resented in sigle box Of gold Ger
tificates which an officer Of the insti-
tuition carried through the streets
tucked under his arm with only a
lone policeman to protect him.
There remains yet to be opened the
great vault Of the Equitable Assurance
society itself with It's treasure Of
S500, 100000. 1t was still buried So
deep today under tons of ice-cemented
debris that the combination doors
could not be- reached.
The body of Battalion Chief Walsh
still lifs among the ruins. Firemen
chopped and dug all day in the de-
bris of the third and fourth floors
but found that it was likely to be q
task of days rather than hours to
make the search complete,
One of the freaks OF the fire came
! to light today with the discovery that
the clock in the offices Of the Mer-
camille Trust company was still run
ming. The mahogany case was nearly
all burned away. and everything else
inflammable in the room was in ash
es, but the pendulum was still faith
fully swinging and the hands beneath
the cracked dial pointed to the cor
rect time.
A contribution of $4,000 to a func
for the benefit Of the workers at tht
ire was announced today by com.
mittee Of directors of the Equitable
Life Assurance society.

ACCUSES SIX LABOR
MEN OF DYNAMITiNG
j. M. Parks Also Says They Broke
the Legs of Strike Breakers.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 11.-Six I'M
ion labor men, all members of the
committed which directed the strike Of
structural iron workers in this city
last year, were charged today by J.
NJ. Parks, witness for the state in
the trial of Bert Fl. Corners, with
having been parties with Conners in
the alleged conspiracy to dynamite the
county hall of records,
Besides Conners, the others accuseS
by Parks were Charles Stevens, nCfa
serving a two years term at San
Quentin for having assaulted q strike
breaker: George Gunrey. E. A. Misner
and the two men jointly indicted with
Conners, A B. Naples and F. Ira
Bender.
Parks said that Corners said he and
the other Eve planned the destruc-
ton Of the county structure and that
their meetings were sometimes at
tended by c. T., Mars and Logan De
Haven. Parks testified, however, that
Conners told him that he, Maple and
Bender, were detailed to place the
dynamite. PARKS further asserted on
cross examination that the strikers
sent "wrecking crews" about the city
at night to break the legs of strike
breakers so they would be unable te
work Parks added that "Wrecking
crews" were particularly anxious to
"beat up" Gustave SauEFett, superin-
tendent of construction f0f the Lew
eliyn iron works, which had a con-
tract for part of the construction OF
the hall Of records.
Parks asserted that the ''wreeking
crews were armed with pieces OF gas
pipe and blackjecks. He named Con-
ners, De Haven, Mars and Stevens as
members of the crews.

BOURGEOIS OFFERED
FRENCH PREMIERSHIP
President FaIiieres Endeavorine to Re-
construct His Cabinet.

Paris, Jan. 11.-President Fallieres
has decided to offer the premiership
to Leon Bourgeois tomorrow, but as
NJ. Bourgeois undoubtedly will decline
for reasons of health, the president
must look elsewhere for a man capa-
BILE Of forming a cabinet and insuring
Ia republican majority
1t is doubtful whether NJ. Delcasse,
who was appointed foreign minister
yesterday prior to the resignation of
the cabinet, would accept the premier
ship, even If it were offered him,
while ex-Premier Clemenceau, who is
largely responsible for the present
overthrow, is apparently barred by
his criticisms Of the Franco German
accord, which all parties recognize
must speedily be ratified. It IS be-
lieved, however, that NJ. pelcasse, n.
Poincaire and NJ. Millerand, ex-minis-
ter of public works, will enter the
new combination in some capacity.
It is a long time since d ministeriaI
change has excited such interest in
France. Tho general trend Of opinion
| is that there must be more united ac-
tion in parliament if the government
hopes to carry out its policies. The
Temps places the chief blame for the
| present crisis on parliament, which. ii
says, is practically tho same parlia-
ment as that which sacrificed Delcasse

Father of Violet Edmands TO Finance
the Effort.

Boston, Jan. 11.-Within the next
two weeks an appeal will be sent to
Governor Foss and the executive coun-
ell in an effort to save the life of Rev.
Clarence V. T. Richeson, the self-con-
fessed murderer of Miss Avis Linnell,
who has been sentenced to death by
electrocution during the week begin
ming May 10. The petition will urge
executive clemency, and should thu
council act favorably on the matter a
hearing will be ordered before Feb. Is,
It is expected.
The fight for a Communication Of the
sentence will be financed by Moses c.
Edmands, father Of Miss Violet Ed
mands, the former f1ancee Of Mr. Rich
eson. He has retained hope in the
minister, believing him mentally un-
balanced when he gave the Linnell girl
the poison which caused her death, and
Is loyal to his cause. Although John

man has gone to his home in Virginia
he will return to appear in favor Of a
Communication Of the death sentence for
Mr.. Richeson and plead that his s-client
has been g. sufferer from mental un-
balancement, although not legally in
sane.
Miss Edmands has dropped out Of
sight during the excitement caused by
RicheSon.s confession and it was re-
ported that she is on her way to ,Eu-
rope. Richeson appears to be bearing
up we'll at the Charles street jail. He
has recovered from a slight attack OF
Indigestion and although somewhat
nervous appears as cheerful as could
be expected.
No Writ Of Error to Be Asked.

asked for and that the case will be
J taken to the supreme court whether OF
not the lawyers for Rev Mr.. Richesor

fcounsel, in statement issued tonight
I Further, Mr.. Morse says that should
Mr.. Richeson be aagin called int
court he would again plead guilty tt
