The Republican situation is becom-
ing more interesting than ever and
while, in a measure, some questions
have been settled by the ONO vote,
yet at the same time no one knows
who will be the Republican nominee
for president. 1t is more than likely
that Ex-Governor Hughes of New
York will be the man chosen to give
the Republicans victory similar to
that of Mckinley in 1896. Some of
the La Toilette supporters claim that
the Wisconsin statesman will be the
dark horse, but that is assuming too
much. La Toilette has many warm
friends in all parts of the United
States, but it is generally conceded
that he is too radical in his views
and that in the presidential race he
would make as poor a showing aS did
w. j. Bryan. La Toilette and Bryan
are forerunners in their respective
parties and the reforms they advocate
are in advance of the age in which
we live. The American people are
progressive, but are inclined to be in
favor of evolution rather than revo-
luton, or a sudden, radical change.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. May 21.-
George B. McGrath, medical exam
iner of Suffolk county, one of the
witnesses at Richeson's electrocution,
will recommend several important
changes in the manner of putting
murderers to death. He believes that
death should be brought on more
quickly without some of the unpleas-
ant features connected with the pres
ent method. This could be accom-
plished, he says, by placing electrodes
over the heart and on the back of
the neck instead of on top of the head
and on the left leg. He expects even
tually a chair to be devised in which
a prisoner will bring about his own
execution, the functions of his body
automatically throwing on the current
and bringing death.

Richeson was electrocuted at l2:l1
o'clock this morning for the murder
Of Miss Avis Linpeli He walked un-
assisted from his cell to the elect.i,
crair. He displayed superb courage.
The last word on his lips was Ola"
Richeson entered the death chau-
b,r at 1908, while the echoes of
psalm, in the singing of which he
had joined, were dying. On eithe,
side were Rev. Herbert S. johnson and
Rev. H. w. Stebbins. He walked
slowly. The thirteen fatal steps to
the chair took up but as many sec
onds, but to the legal witnesses who
were summoned by law it seemed as
many hours. He was placed in the
chair which had been thoroughly test
ed before his arrival. While two
guards pinioned his arms and body
securely, another raised his trouser
leg and fastened the electrode to his
left leg between the ankle and the
hi'Ss' n iouI lIILeu d HleSH
cap containing an electrode to Richie
sons shaved head. When this had
been done to the satisfaction of the
guard rubber band about four inches
in width which covered his eyes and
chin, leaving the nose and mouth ex-
posed, was fastened about his face.
Warden Bridges was watching in
tently for the opportune moment.
When Richeson had responded to
passage from the Bible read by DR..
johnson and had just uttered the word
die" Warden Bridges raised the black
cane that he carried in his right hand
and the electrician secreted behind the
screen with his eyes fastened upon
the warden's hand threw a switch.
With the word ''die" upon his lips
Richeson paid the penalty with his
life.
AS the shock of electricity struck
Richeson his left hand, with the index
finger extended, turned slowly and
pointed to heaven. Within one min
ute and forty-four seconds of the
time that Richeson tok his place in
the hair he died. Nineteen hundred
volts, eight amperes, had been shot
through his body.

anchor was raised and the Ameria
started at full speed for Engine bay.
She had not gone far when the water
in the engine room submerged the
boilers. Captain Gregory headed at
once for shore and beached the steam.

An English lord recently said that
it would be a great calamity if Roose
welt were nominated for president
We don't know that Roosevelt will BE-
nominated. We feel quite sure that
he will not be, but we don't know
what business the English lord has
in making such a prediction. The
American people do not have to listen
to the advice of one who is in favor
of a monarchy. This is republican
form of government and we take it
that he is disqualified when it comes
to giving us advice along political
lines. The chances are that he knows
about as much about American ways
and American needs as does a 10-year-
old boy. From the American way Of
looking at such matters the house of
lords, including the distinguished lord
making the discourteous remark, is a

example of the Apaches who recently
terrorized Paris and its environs, has
been followed by criminals here. Two
of them, detected last night while
committing burglary, dashed to
their bicycles which had been left
outside the house. On their way they
were confronted by policeman whoin
they shot dead. Then they rode rapid
iy away, but pursuers wounded one
of the bandits. His comrade then de-

prevent his capture and possibly 2
betrayal. The surviving burglar con-
