RICHES0N SHOULD DIE, SAYS BOSTON MAYOR
Urged Governor Foss Not to Con-
slider CIemency, in the Interest of
Oecency and Justice.

Boston, Mass. - Mayor Fitzgerald
Saturday sent a communication to
Governor Foss asking him not to sub
nit the petition for a communication
of Clarence " T. Richeson's sentence
to the executive council. The mayor
declared that Richeson's crime, that
OF poisoning Avis Linnell, was "one
of the most abominable in the history
Of the country" and merited the ex.
IRENE penalty.
The mayor draws the conclusion
that as Richeson was sane enough
few months ago to admit his deed.
1t is inconceivable that he could be
adjudged insane now"
His letter adds:
Boston Is the home during the year
Of thousands Of innocent girls who
come here from all parts Of the world
to study music. literature and art,
and to attend our colleges. and the
parents Of these children ought to feel
that they are to be given the amplest
protection by the public authorities.
"You may say that this is none Of
my business, but as mayor Of the city
where this crime was committeeman
/ believe speak for practically all
the people, don't think the public
authorities should grant the slightest
concessions or waiver in the least de.
gree"
When informed that he would be
removed to Charlestown State prison,
Clarence V. T. Richeson, the former
Baptist minister, who is under sen.
tence to be electrocuted the week be.
ginning May 10 for the poisoning of
his one-time sweetheart, Miss Avis
Linell, went down upon his knees and
begged to be allowed to stay at the
jail few days more.

fOa1Y.7ARif COAL MINES N TEXAS
In Operation, and Nire New Ones
Opened Up Last YeaT-Fatal''y
LIS. Small.

Austin. TeX.-There were forty
three coal mines in operation in Tex
IS during the year 1911 and their az
rrcgate output was approximately
i,96S,l55 tons. These figures are con-
tanned in the semi-annIal report
which State Mining Inspector |. j..
Brennan filed with the State mining
board Saturday. Other paragraphs
from the report show that nine new
mines were opened during the year
and that 4,452 men were employed in
the industry. There were seven fatal
and fifty!three nOnfatal accidents in
Texas mines during the year.
Mr.. Brennan says: During the
year | made a total Of sixty-one in
spectiOns of the coal and Ignite mines
of the State. During my inspection
tcurs / have covered approximately
5000 miles, owing TO the scattered
condition Of the mines. In the ma
jority of cases | can report good re-
suits from the inspection of the mines.
LAS regards the enforcement OF the
mining laws, | have experienced but
very little difficulty, as the majority
Of the operators have given me strong
support and have shown the greatest
willingness to comply with the law.
Have a few refractory cases, but these
have either been forced into line or
have gone out of business. Have not
found it necessary to institute prose
cution proceedings in any instance.
1t gives me pleasure to report that in
the minds of the up-to-date and pro-
gressiye mine operators there exists
at the present time no prejudice
against the system Of mine inspection.
LAS regards safety, | consider the
coal mines in this State almost as
safe as such mines can be made and
will compare favorably in many in
stances with the best coal mines Of
other States"
