CORN IN LOUISIANA.

A very interesting change that Is
going on in those portions of the south
where cotton has been the staple crop
for generations past is clearly shown
in the rapid increase In the produc-
ton Of corn in the state Of Louisiana
during the past few years. A few
years ago the cotton boil weevil made
its appearance in the state. and cotton
growers seemed to be threatened with
bankruptcy. But being compelled to
devote cotton land to the growing OF
corn and other crops has really been
a blessing in disguise. Figures that
have been compiled show that the
production Of corn has increased from
19,516,499 bushels in 1905 to nearly
100000,000 bushels in 1911. In the
year 1910 Louisiana corn was sold to
Europe and Texas for the first time.
and the surplus for the past year has
been close to 100000 bushels.

thieves, Recorder Kehoe sentenced
him to spend six months in the

about the heavy sentence and as he
was being led back to his cell
mumbled, " Holy zee, it's a wonder

BROTHERHOOD
AT A BANQUET
Presbyterian Men Reflect
All Their Officers.

Support of the organization and
the keynote of the annual meeting
and banquet of the Presbyterian
Brotherhood held in the chapel in
Rector street last night. The ses-
sion was an enthusiastic one and
gives every indication of having
started right. The Brotherhood
has been organized but a few
months, but much work has already
been done in the various depart
ments, among other things a Bible
class has been organized and socia-
bility at church services has in
creased.
Tie tables last night were attrac-
lively arranged and prettily decor
ated. The officers and speakers sat
at the table across the forward part
of the room facing the b~anqueters.
At this table were President Will
liam II. Griswold, First Vice Presi-
dent f. H. K%leinhans, Second Vice
President Theodore ~Degenring, Sec
rotary Charles NJ. Macmillan,
Treasurer e. C. Moke; former
Judge Adrian Lyon, Rev. James II.
Northrup and w. C. Genung, the
principal speaker of the evening.
Before the banquet was served a
brief business session of the broth
erhood was held when all the Off
GERS were reelected. The treasurer
reported the comfortable balance
of $23 in the treasury. Two new
members we're admitted and action
was taken to Join the national asso-
citation of the Presbyterian Broth
erhood.
The ladies of the church had pre-
pared an excellent menu consisting
of consumme, salad, oyster patty,
green peas, ice cream, cake and cot
fee. 1t was served by members Of
the Westminster Cadets in uniform.
President Griswold was toast
master and introduced Mr.. Genung
who took the plan and scope clause
of the brotherhood's constitution
and pointed out various ways OF
carrying out the respective aims in
order to accomplish the most effec-
tive work. He was particularly
strong on the usefulness of the
brotherhood to the church.
d. w. Boehm spoke for the edu-
cational department., telling of the
Bible class that had just been or
ganized with twenty-three members,
Mr.. Northrup spoke on the value
and necessity of organization and
forced home some telling points,
Former Judge Lyon followed, talk
ing on mans responsibility to man.
The evening was al enjoyable
and profitable one and the brother
hood promises to be an effective
church organization accomplishing
much good In the city.
While the dinner was being
served music was furnished by
young men OF the church who fire.
quently brought forth much APP
plause.

Boston. May q. 49, After awaiting
death impatiently, Clarence V. I.
Richeson. the slayer of Avis Linnell,
died in the electric chair at 1911
o'clock this morning. He ate almost
nothing all day and did not attempt
to sleep between nightfall and the
hour Of his doom.
He was attended constantly by
Chaplain Herbert w. Stebbins and the
Rev. Herbert s.. Johnson. The voice
Of the man about to die rang through
the small chamber of the condemned
as he sang his favorite hymns IN
unison with his spiritual advisers.
Resigned To His Fate.
Richeson was seemingly resigned to
his fate and determined to meet 1t
fearlessly when Warden Bridges Wis
tied him.
II will be ready when you want me,
warden" he said, ''and you needn't
worry about what l may do. III not
break down"
He read from the Psalms and seemed
to take pleasure In interpreting their
lessons. When he was urged to take
a little rest he replied:
81 have SO little time to live and
so much to say that 1 want to
talk, talk, talk"
Deserted Even by Brother.
Although his brother, Douglas Richie
son Of Chicago, was In the city, and
the prisoner expressed a wish to see
him, the brother did not visit the
prison before the execution.
Thus the young clergyman went to
his death without hearing a word of
or farewell from his kindred.
His aged father was too Ill In his V1r-
gtnia home to make the journey here,
and his brother, Douglas, will take
of the body and send 1T to Vir-
ginia.
Attorney Morse, who represented the
prisoner, said that Richeson himself
had vetoed q proposal to seek a writ of
habeas corpus and delay the execu-
ton. Since Governor Foss' decision not
to interfere the condemned man had
Doen eager lot ueatn.
Final Consolation a Cigarette.
Richeson had no supper, saying that
he desired none. After eating a little
fruit he lighted a cigarette, and he was
sitting IN the edge of his cot, apparent
ly enjoying his smoke, when Deputy
Warden Allen entered his cell with the
black suit of clothes to be worn during
the execution. Richeson nodded calmly
to the deputy, but said nothing.
Feared M~utiiation of Body.
William A. Morse, his counsel. re-
manned IN the death chamber for two
and one-half hours, during which be
assured the condemned man that his
body would not be mutilated. Richeson
has feared all along since he learned
that he was to die that as soon as
breath had passed from his BODY the
physicians were going to dissect. Upon
leaving the prison Mr.. Morse said:
"Richeson is going to die without
holding a grudge against any one. He
talked to me calmly about his funeral
He said he wished to be buried IN Viz.
gtnia, and it appears that this will be
done. He told when and how he wished
to be buried, He gave a list of the
hymns that be wished sung at his fu-
neral. Most Of them were familiar.

WEAK WITTED
BOY SCALDED
Forced Beneath Hot Water
in VineIand Home.

Fineland, n. j.. May 2l.-The charge
mat her son was scalded to death in
the Training School For Backward and
Feeble Minded Children here is made
emphatically by Mrs. Minnie Fucker
mann, a well to do widow of Brooklyn.
The mother, who is plunged in grief.
will ask the authorities Of Cumberland
county, in which Vineland is situated,
to Investigate the boys death.
Elijah Zuckermann, seventeen years
old, had been in the institution eleven
months. Mrs. Zuckermann declares
her belief that her only sons tragic
death would not have occurred had the
management of the training school
taken proper precautions. She vows.
too, that In a letter G. Emerson Nash,
assistant superintendent of the lnsti-
tuition, wrote to her he practically con
fessed a lack of proper care of her
boy.
Boy Is Fatally sealded.
The superintendent wrote, she says,
that Elijah was bathed soon before
supper time on Saturday, May II, and
put to bed. During supper time a boy
took Elijah from bed to the shower
bath, where the water was turned on"
Mr.. Nash wrote that evidently Elijah
sprang from under the scalding water
as soon as 1t touched him, which seems
credible. But his back and arms were
severely scalded. He was taken imme-
diately to the hospital and did not seem
to suffer after treatment.
We regret very much this accident"
Nash's letter read. I'VE thought we
had taken all precautions against such
danger by having no keys on the bath
tubs, but had not removed them fron
the Showers
The boy died Of his burns early
Thursday morning last.

When Louis Gatoni was removed
from the padded cell at police head
quarters to be taken to the State
Hospital for the Insane at Trenton,

ton of padding below the p~eep-hole
was torn from the door and in one
corner of the cell were the remains.
Gatoni was arrested Friday for
neglecting to are for his children
