RIcHEs0N RESTLESS ! IN HIS }! DEATH CELL
Little Likelihood of Any Inter- ference With Carrying Out
 of Death Sentence

Boston. May 1S-Rev. c. V. T. Riche- son spent his second night in the death cell at Charlestown prison rest fully. He read his Bible until about 9:30 and then went to bed According to his. guards he was restless until near midnight when he became com posed. He slept soundly until 7:3O when he arose, carefully washed and dressed and asked for a breakfast of eggs, toast and hot milk. Warden Bridges was away today on business. His son, who is deputy in the pris- on, was in charge. He said Richeson was bearing up remarkably we'll. Richeson did not eat as heartily as yesterday but he appeared to relish what he ate.
 There was still the faintest hope, up to noon today, that Gov. Foss would send Richeson's petition for leniency to his council, but this seem ed very improbable. Gov. Foss told a United Press representative today that he has yet to go thoroughly over the reports of Drs. Stedman, For est and Futile, three of the alienists who examined the doomed minister at Charles Street jail. While it has been repeatedly and strongly intimated by state house of ficials that there reports do not say Rfcheson is insane, two of them are said to be far from flat statements that he is sane. It was said that for this reason the governor may present the petition, thus putting on his coun- .cil the responsibility of the state talk ing the life of man who might be shown, by a post mortem autopsy, to have been insane.
 This hope of a leniency petition be- ing presented by Gov. Foss, however. it was said, really would mean little for the council was known to be largely opposed to leniency.

|LYDDY TELLS OF
 SIX TICKETS FOR QUARTER CAMPAIGN

The -fares-for-a-quarter proposi- ton is becoming of State wide inter- est Several of the cities and towns of the State have created special com mittees from their legislative bodies to. look into the matter and others are interested. These committees will meet early in June in New Haven at which time a definite campaign will be launched. Plans for this meeting are now under way. Alderman John B. Lyddy, author of the resolution which stirred the Bridgeport Common Council to action and resulted in the appointment of a committee to affect such an arrangement with the Con- necticut Co.,, said today that his com mittee will not report to the Common Council until after the New Haven meeting.
 MT. Lyddy believes that the united efforts of the committees and com missions from the different parts Of the State will give better results than if the cities and towns fought the matter out individually. It is pro- posed to take the proposition to the Public Utilities Commission. Bridge port was the first city to start the issue. Alderman Malcolm Macfayden and Alderman Frederick Cederholm are the other members of the special committee.
 The committee asks for six tickets for twenty-five cents, good during the hours when men and women are go- ing to and from work.

James M. Lynch, of Syracuse, N.Y., has been reelected president of the International Typographical Union by an approximate majority of $500. ac- cording to incomplete returns at the international headquarters in Indiana polls today from the elections held yesterday. George A. Tracy of San Francisco, vice president, and John W. Hays of Minneapolis, secretary treasurer, both have been reelected by about the same majority as Lynch.
 Members of Local 252 of the Inter national Typographical Union voted yesterday in this city in connection with the universal election of the orr ganization held in every city in the United States and Canada at the same time. Robert T. Cherry was elected delegate to the next conyenticn to be held in Cleveland. Ohi1, <the second week in August. He received 40 votes against 23 received by James F. Irwin.

 The majority of the local members were in accord with the majority of the members of the union generally for they gave the winning candidate for president. James M, Lynch of Syracuse 43 votes against 20 that were cast for Fed Barker of Spokane. Wash. They also gave George A. Tracy of San Francisco 36 votes for vice president against 24 cast for James M.

THREE STARVED TO DEATH IN
 TITANIC BOAT
Oceanic Brings Bodies Of Thomas Beattie and Two
 Sailors Found in CoIIapsibIe
MARKS OF TEETH ON WOOD
Boat is Same Described by Third Officer Lowe Who Said
 He Left Three Dead in if

New York, May 16-Bits of cork in their mouths and tooth marks on the cork and wood portions of the. boat indicated that starvation killed the three Titanic victims whose bodies were in Titanic collapsible lifeboat picked up by the White Star liner Oceanic which arrived here today.
 Two of the bodies were secured to thwart by the pieces of chairs. The body of a cabin passenger was iden- tified by the clothing as that of Thompson Beattie, of Chicago. The other two were members of the crew. A fur coat with the name Williams inside the pocket and a woman's ring inscribed Edward to Cerda" indicat- ed that there had been others in the lifeboat. The bodies were buried at sea from the lifeboat by Dr. French. tho Oceanic's surgeon.
 White Star line officials say that the lifeboat is that mentioned by Third Officer Lowe, of the Titanic, who said that he left three bodies in the boat of which he had charge, when his twenty-one passengers were transferred to the Carpathia. This does not conform with the evidence of starvation.

 Ears, Stuffed Filth In His Mouth, Stripped Him. Beat Him, Gave Him Coat of Tar and Branded Him

Los Angeles, Cal, May .16.-Alleg- ing that inhuman tortures had been inflicted on him by San Diego vigil lantes who deported him from that city Tuesday night, Dr. Ben Reitman, manager of Miss Emma Goldman, to- day detailed the treatments that was accorded him by the "committee of citizens": He declared that at times the torture became so ''fendish" that he begged them to kill him to end the pain.
 Reitman said:
 '"The men who captured me in my hotel looked like business men. When I refused to go with them, they put my mouth and dragged me to an au- tomobile. The police outside the ho- tel cleared the way for them.
 While taking me to the place of torture in the desert thirty miles from San Diego, my captors thrust pencils in my nostrils and ears stuffed filth into my mouth and struck me with their fists and with clubs throughout the whole terrible trip. They con tinually called me the vilest names I ever have heard.
 When we reached the desert an- other party was waiting. They had built a big fire and they took me up to it, stripped me and began such fiendish inhuman torture that the de- tails are unprintable. begged them to kill me and end the pain and they replied that they wanted me to go away and tell how San Diego treated my kind.
 'They said if Miss Goldman were there they would give her the same dose.

WILLIAMS CHOSEN
 ACTING SERGEANT
Patrolman Hatch Succeeds Him at Railroad Station During His Temporary Advancement.

The assignment of Patrolman Isaac B. Williams, for several years at the railroad station, as an acting police sergeant was made by Superintendent Birmingham last evening. The de- tailing of Patrolman Williams to temporarily fill the post is regarded as significant, indicating that Officer Williams is in line for the next va cancy arising n the ranks of the ser- geants.
 Williams takes the place of Police Sergeant William O'Leary, who is dis abled and will be unable to return to duty for several weeks, following an operation. Supplanting Williams in the temporary. absence from the rail- road station is Patrclman Alexander F. Hatch
 Williams became a member of the police department May s1, 1897. June 1, 1902 he was detailed to duty at the railroad station and he has been there almost continuously. He has had an excellent record. Hatch be- came a patrolman April 6. 1894. Will Hams was clever boxer before he joined the police department and at one time was sparring partner with Bob F'itzsmimmons.

Then as he was and said, Take a good look at me now"
 - Jewell said he was pretty sure Schrefber was the man who robbed him although he would not swear to 1t.
 Detective Sergeant cronan saye the most damaging evidence against Schreiber. He arrested the accused in Milford Schreiber denied owning a blank sloRch hat, such as the high wayn1an wore, but the hat was found later in the posses6ion of another em- ploye of the farm on which Schreiber worked when ,arrested, A red and black handkerchief. such as Jewell described, was found and also a re- volver.
