mitted to bail pending his answer In the
Federal court to the charge for which
he has been indicted
In q brief filed in support Of the mo-
tion for bail the allegations are made
that the prisoner was held for $4,000
which the petition declares to be ex-
cessiye; that the judge refused to ac-
cept certificate of deposit or reality

Of Johnson's constitutional rights as a

raise statements against johnson and

STRIKE MAY END SOON.
WaiterN May Return to Work In
Capital Hotels.

An effort will be made by Local, No. 2
International Hotel Workers Union, al
q mass meeting tomorrow night. in Ma
uonal Rines ArmOry, to unionize the col
ord strike-breakers now employed in the
New Willard, Raleigh. and Cafe Repub-
liQue.
Organizer Blochlinger, who is conduct
ing the strike of the local walters, stat
ed yesterday that the prospects of en-
rolling a large majority of the strike
breakers were bright.
A meeting of the strikers was held yes
terday afternoon in the unions head
quarters. Several strikers stated that ad-
vances had been made to them by agents
of the hotels to return to work, but that
they had refused TO listen to the terms
OF the hotel men. According to their
statements the hotel men are willing TO
take back all OF the strikers, a few at
a time, provided they withdraw from the
union.
A committee was appointed to meet the
hotel men and confer with them. The
hotel men refused to entertain any of
the proposals made by the committee,
and nothing was accomplished. The ho-
tel managers themselves admit that they
prefer white walters to the colored strike
breakers. and some sort of a settlement
is looked for in the near future.

R|CHESONCONFESSES
TO POISONING GIRL
FORMER PREACHER IN JAIL IN
BOSTON ADMITS HIS GUILT AS
POiSONER OF MISS LINNELL.
HOPES TO ESCAPE DEATH IN
THE ELECTRIC CHAIR.
Prosecutor Declares He Has No Idea
of Allowing Him to Dodge Trial
for Climax of His Cruel
Deeds.

Clarence Valentine Thompson Rich
eson, former Baptist preacher, III Jail
in Boston. confessed giving poison to
Miss Avis Linnell, OF Hyannisport,
causing her death on the night OF Oc-
tober IA, 1911. The confession was
made public by Richeson's lawyers.
The confession was phrased and
penned by Richeson. 1t gives no de-
tails. 1t states no motive for the
crime. IL is an admission of guilt
and an allegation of remorse, reye-
lation of fear Of the electric chair,
desire to escape it, and an appeal for
hre in prison walls. 1t closes with eX-
pressions calculated to indicate reli-
gious sentiment and feeling in the
man who heartlessly poisoned the
young choir singer whom he hal
wronged, whose condition threatened
revelations which might leopard his
proposed marriage 10 young and
wealthy society woman.
Moses Grant Edmands, father of
Violet Edmands, TO whom Richeson
was engaged, opened his purse for
Richeson's defense. Richeson's aged
father came on from Virginia. Doug
las Richeson. q brother, came from
Chicago. Members of lmmanual Bap-
fist church, Cambridge, Of which
Richeson was pastor when arrested,
prayed for Richeson and refused for
some time TO accept his resignation,
even when urged to do SO by Richie
son himself. All these repeatedly
publicly affirmed the belief in his in
nocence. They are stunned by his
confession OF bloodguiltiness.
Richeson's lawyers may try TO save
him by an insanity plea or an appeal
for communication to life Imprisonment,
if he receives a death sentence. Pros
ocutor Pelletier will insist on convic-
ton of first degree murder after open
trial in spite Of the confession, and
will demand the death penalty, SO
Richeson may yet be executed for his
last crime in Il career marked by evil
deeds done in many places.

increased deficit as compared with
the close of 1910, to be wiped out, if
possible, during the remaining half

a big growth, on the other hand, due
to the sale of $4,000. geo in Panama

principal causes of the increased de.

PUBLIC FUNDS AID THE WORK
Gratifying Sign That the People Are
Awake to Value of Fight Againet
Tuberculosis.

Compared with the expenditures for
past year are practically the same in,
the aggregate, but they are almost
double those of 1909. The National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis, in it's third an
nual statement, points out. however.
what it considers more significant
than the aggregate expenditures,
namely, that the percentage of money
spent from public funds is greater in.
1911 than ever before, being &C., per
cent of the total. In 1899 only 53.5'
per cent of the total expenditures
was from public funds, and in 1910
it had increased to 62.6 per cent. In
1911 over $9,600,O0 of the $14 500, 600
spent was from federal, state. munich
pal or county funds. Since the chief
work of the anti-tuberculosis associa-
tons is to urge the public authorities,
to provide for tuberculosis patients.
and thus to assume the responsibility
for stamping out this disease, the in
creased percentage of public money
is regarded as very favorable sign.
OF progress.
Appropriations of over $10,000.000'
for tuberculosis work in 1912 have al
ready been made by state legislatures.
and municipal and county bodies. or
this sum about S4,700,000 is from
state appropriations, and about S.
100000 for county and municipal
purposes. In addition to these sums,
the federal government spends about
$1,000,000 every year supporting it's
several special tuberculosis sanatoria.
