RICHESON'S BODY IS BEING HELD Dispute Over Disposition of Ministers Remains De
 lays Removal.
BRAIN WAS NORMAL
Last Words Were "I am Willing to Live ar Die" and Then Game
 the Shock.

Boston, Mass, May 21--The body of Clarence V r. Richeson, who was put murder of Avis Linnell, is in thn North Grove street morgue tonight awaiting the outcome of a discussion over it's disposition Medical Exam iner McGrath performed an autopsy during the day and said that Ricne- sons brain was normal
 Douglas Rcheson, the dead mans brother, had intended starting for the west tonight with the body, but is still undecided The matter will be settled tomorrow at a conference be- tween Richeson and Willis A. Morse, | counsel for Clarence Richeson. It had been understood that the former minister requested that he be buried by the side of his mother in Virginia, but circumstances arose today, it is said, that have prevented this.
 Rev. Herbert $. Johnson, pastor of tiit " di tIl dNtHut DdDl1Sl CLUTCH who was With Richeson several days before his death and who aceompani- ed the minister to his chair, made the 1 following statement tonight: "The warden said he wished I could make the man talk from the death chair, so that would take the l tl1ou phtq off biutcaIf and bie naocip. could occur without period of dis tressng suspense. The warden ex- plained how he would give the sig nal for the current when the man S breath was eXhaled. He also re- quested me so far as possible, before the execution to keep Richeson from talking about it and to keep his mind engaged with other thing..
 ''We thought probably he would be strapped in the chair so quickly that only two or three questions would be necessary, although the work of placing the man in the chair was done speedily yet it took longer than l had estimated, and consequently I had to ask more questions.
 "Those questions were eXtempor- aneous
 Finally came the question.
 |" Are you willing to live or die for Jesus sake?' and his answer:
 I am willing to live or die,' were the last words he spoke as the signal was given and his life passed out.

ROOSEVELT AND

 Home State.

Harmon Carries His Own State By Two to One-Will Control

Columbus, Ohio May 21-Oh:o voters said they favored Roosevelt and Harmon for the presidential nominations today over Governor Woodrow Wilson ard President Taft. The state apparently has feDudiated

Bryan twice crossed the state making appeals for him and savage attacks on Governor Harmon Hfmmon men declare the Wilsonites have dumped enormous sums into the sta.e and President Taft's friends. who have carried only three of Roosevelt men. The weather was so male the same charge aga nst tho Rooseve,,. men. The weathr was so fine that tine farmers forsook the coils to do late spring blowing, a fact which hindered Roosevelt and Har- mon.
 The President has carried Oni; the First, Second and Thirteenth dis tricts, and Roosevelt, men are claim- ing they will dominate the state con- vention and elecs the six delegates at-large to the national conven'-ion. If .his is rue the etate will stand Taft six to Roosevelt forty-two, a crushing defeat fer the Psesident. His managers continue hopeful in the face of bad news.
 Harmon men claim Ohio by close two to one, on the basis of returnt received at midnighs in a very light vote. They sad that his delegates would be elected in nearly every dis trict and that his friends would be in control of the state convention. Coun- try s.ricts yet to be heard from are expected to show uD strong for Gov crnor Harmon although the voting is much lighter than the Harmon mel had hoped. In the Twentieth and first dirtcirtc in Ghe neigh bcrhcod of Cleveland the governor has been beaten three to one and the race $ close in Hamilton county with the governor leading by nose. Franklin county is Harmon by two to one With Harmon county conven- tion Washington county i's three to one for Harmon and the greater part of the southern section of the state is close. Ross county went six to one for the governor.
 In 26S precincts, exclusive of Cuy- ahoga county, the vote is Harmon, 7,OS4 to 2,905 for Wilson. The vote is nearly uniform over the state ex- cept in Montgomery and Lucas coun- ties where the governor is apparently tagging in ihe race. Weather is claimed responsible for the light vote. ..

ISSUES GALL FOR
 A NEW PARTY John Kirby Delivers Ring ing Address on Live
 Topics.
RAPS THE CAMPAIGN
Says Present Wrangle is a Crisis CriticiseS Labor Unions and Says
 Leaders Work for Socialism,.

New York, Maq 21.--Declaring that the organic bases of our common wealth is challenged hy the dema- sosic attacks upon representative government now being made by poll ticians, and that the so-called pro gressive principles advocated in many quarters in helping to pro- mote the doctrines of Debs and Elm ma Goldman, John Kirby, ,Jr., presi- dent of the National Association of Manufacturers, in an address before the convention of that body here to- day, characterized the present poli- tical imbrogio as a crisis and is sued a call for new political party whose aim shall be the preservation of the United States Government as founded on the constitution.
 "The present political campaign is crisis said Mr. Kirby, aThe af- fairs of the country, not only poli- tical and industrial but religious, are in an abnormal and chaotic condition, and they are growing worse every day.
 "One of the most dangerous tend encies of the times" he continued, Ties in the making of agreements, by political parties, to enact legis- lation which means the undermining of the foundations upon which lber- ty and law must rest if we are to remain a free and prosperous nat ion. Not until business and other men who condemn such action on the part of their representatives take suf- ficient interest to repudiate this vile practice will it cease''
 MT. Kerby then said in part:
 "The unrest and unsatisfactory economic conditions we hear so much talk about is not because of any fundamental weakness in the nations resources, nor in our form Of government, but it is the result of political agitation by demagogic oliticians to further their own sell fish interests, at the expense of the real welfare of the Nation; men who go up and down the land each one trying to make the people believe that he is the Moses that can cure their ills and remodel society to con- form to all their notions.
 1.-Two years ago, asked the ques- ton: Has not the time come for new political party to cope with these questions?' And I assert now, that the time has come when the sober minded people of this country should unite in one political party whose chief purpose should be the preser- vation of the government that has served us so we'll for more than a century and a quarter. A house di- vided against itself cannot stand, neither can our Republican form of government withstand the attacks that are constantly being made upon it in the name of reform, in Congress and out if it's supporters are divided between two or more parties.
 "The Republican party was organ ized in 1856 to meet condition that had arisen in this country which could not be solved through any oth- CT medium than the formation of a political party especially committed to the purpose.

Former Mayor Addresses a Fine Crowd Here on Com
 mission Form.
BOASTS OUR STREETS
Says Pine Bluff Has Worst Streets He Has Ever Seen-An Au-
 th0rity on Them.

Hon. John MacVicar, former mayor and for four years on the commission governing the city of Des Moines, Iowa, and president of the League of American Municipalities, spoke in this city last night on Commission Form of government, illustrated his lecture with slides, views of various cities both American and foreign. showing progress in municipal af- fairs.
 Notwithstanding the fact that Mir. MacVicar was forced to abandon one theater and go to another because of defective electrical equipment, the crowd followed him and applauded him enthusiastically, demonstrating that commission form is quite popular here. At the Moon Theater he spoke for thirty minutes, but owing to the complete destruction of the wiring there, evidently carried out during
 
 son. he was unable to present his slides and the meeting adjourned to the Orpheo Theater, where they were shown with good effect.
 In his address Mir. MacVicar declar- c dthat Pine Bluff had some horrible streets and he made many sugges- tions for the repair of the pavements and othe public work.
 Nearly twelve years ago Calves ton adopted commission government as war measure said Mr. MacVi- car, Ito obtain relief from the de- Vastation wrought by the tidal wave. Flve years ago Des Moines took up commission government and though she had no tidal wave she had other calamltles quite as disastrous as a puDilc welfare. She had hopeless " incompetent and inefficient city government.

Her strets are thoroughly cleaned and in excellent repair. where formerly they were neglected
 "The affairs of the city moved promptly because of the perfected organization which obtains under commission government. Our tax ievles are slightly lower than prev lously, but what is more important We live within our income, something 'liat has never been done before in 'ne history of Desmoines. I Cannot say that the new plan has attracted a nigher class of public officials than previously, hut we certainly get better service from those we have. This is largely due to the fact that greater publicity obtains under this plan. The responsible head of the department IS constantly in the limelight.
