HAYfMEYfR EXPOSED
 AS TRUST BUILDER
PLANNED TO CONTROL BEET ST. GAR INDUSTRY OF THE COIN.
 TRY SAYS MOREY.
Sent the Price Up One Dollar and Wanted tO Close All the
 Small Plants.

New York, May 20.-More of the secret methods employed by the late Henry o. Havemeyer to ge, control of the Beet sugar industry of the coun- try and make it a part of the Sugar Trust were revealed today. Chester s. Mercy, president of the Great Wes- tern Sugar Company, whose head quarters are in Denver, told about his dealings with Havemeyer in to- days hearing before Special Exam iner Bryce in the governments suit to dissolve the Sugar Trust.
 MT. Mercy was shown copies of let ters that passed between him and the organizer of the big trust in 1902 and 1903 just when the Eeet sugar inter- est were beginning to develop in this country. In this correspondence Mir. Havemeyer proposed that MT. Mercy cretly buying stock control of beet sugar companies in Colorado and else where in the Vest The letters also revealed that Havemeyer favored the closing of many of these plants after they had been secured with the under standing that their stockholders should receive the usual dividends right along as though the factories were running full capacity.
 MT. Mercy gave the names of more than a dozen beet sugar plants in the West that are now integral parts oi the Great Western Sugar Company, which seems to constitute that con- cern trust within the meaning of the statute as the government is seeking to apply it to the old Havemeyer concern. He said that the price be- ing paid at present for beets was $5.50 as against $4.50 last year and that producers realized about $60 an acre at the present rate

MANDOT BEATEN BY
 MILWAUKEE BOY
Ray Temple Converted Southern Sports to His Way of Thinking
 By Outclassing Southern Idol.

Memphis, Tenn, May 20.-Ray Tenn pie, the Milwaukee lightweight, sprang a surprise on the Southern fight fans in outpointing Joe Mandot the New Orleans boxer in an eight round bout before the National Ath- letic Club here tonight Not only did the Wisconsin boy outbox Mandot, but ne outslugged and outgeneraled his
 opponent in almost every round. Temple started the blood flowing from Mandot's mouth in the fifth and with left jabs kept the flow continuous to the end Mandot was wild at all times, and on three occasions fell sprawling to the floor as a result of his unsuccessful efforts to measure his distance Temple had a decided advantage in heighth and reach, but they weighed in at 133 pounds. As good as 100 to 40 was laid against Temple by loyal Southern sports, who thought Mandot invincible.

RICH[S0N PAYS
 DEATH PENALTY Bore Himself Calmly in Last Hours and Walked Stead
 fly to the Chair.
HE DIED AT 12:17 A. M.
o.,t Ward tO His Father That He Died Penitent-Refmsed to See
 His Brother.

posfDn. May l21-Clarence V. T.. picheson has paid the penalty for tae murder of Avis Linnell. The former o,aroyman was elecMecuted at FEY this morning in the Charlestown street prison. The condemned man waaked to the electric char With more firrnness and courage than hao ben expected by those who had ob- served him for The past few weeks. He had spent his last hours in seeking eniritual consolation in the Bible and in conversation with his spiritual ad- usors who were in almost constant attendance up to the last momen'.
 The current was turned on at 1a.10.2. Richeson was pronounced dead at 12.17.
 The man who gave the poison to poor Avis I.innell in order that h.. might be free to wed Miss Violet Edmands. an heiress bore himself calmly under religious guidance in the last hours of his death watch. Before however, he had wept and prayed that Governor Foss would re- lem and pleaded tha.5 he ought to be permitted to spend his fife in prison rather than die in the chair.
 RicAeson ate heartily yesterday and today. In the evening he sang hymns, enc Of them being Sometime We'l Understand. ".~Once he stopped sing ing and asked his spiritual advisor to see that a twill" made by him is carried out. In this will he left all his personal belongings to Miss Ed mands, who is' now slum worker in New York. After finishing song Richeson would bury ;his face in his hands and scb like a baby.
 It can'::, :t ought not to be done" he exclaimed during one outburst. Early this evening Chaplain Steb- bins, af.er leaving the condemned man, said: "Richeson is wholly re- signed to his fate. He has made what peace he can with his Makes' during his last hours and deep down in my heart I feel that he will face thar final court truly penitent' and with full realization of his terrible crime.'
 The chaplain did not tell, however, or the nerve wrecking experience he and Dr. Johnson had with the con- dfmned man before tihiey succeeded in having him resign himself to his fate. Only when they had reminded him that he was once minister and oughN 10 show sublime faith ill the here After, did the man announce that he was ready to face the ordeal of legal aeath without flinching. Before this 'le had exclaimed
 Tt is terrible I can't stand it.. lhey will have to carry me-
 Afterward however, he, seemed to taKe the attitude that it was his duty 10 the church to be brave. Under the influence of that attitude he uore up remarkably well, although 'a'ene We're periods when outbreaks occurred. Throughout all today "lchescn neither prayed nor sang.

The Graphic's recent editorials or stree, Improvement and repair Wefk 3ut tha city comcil on the defensive last nieht for more than an hGlf' Mayor Jordan, the aldermen and CliN Engineer Allen were trying 10 eXplaln 10 each other the causes and ad- vance the best methods ahat should be used to do away with the present unsuccessful sysl em of street work.
 Alderman Chestnut started fhe ball rolling when he inquired why boards were left in holes 2n East Second avenue instead of replacing bricks and declared that Eas, Sixth avenue was being tern up and that mo1e stree'ls, were being torn up than were being replaced Mayor Jordan in- errupted him to tell him that the city had been unable 10 make street repairs because of it's insb y to get sand. Alderman Chestnut replied that he guessed the city had been unable to get sand all winter, be cause the condi ions were the samn then as now.
 Alderman Veil offered resolution calling for the appointment of |, committe tee of three alderman and the city engineer to take up .he work of replacing the streets and to inspect the streets and force part es making the opening to close them. Alderman Veil first offered it as motion, bu' the Mayor declined to entertain hia suggestion in that form and request ed him to write it in 'he shape of a resolution, which he did.
 While he was writing the resolu.fo Alderman Chesnutt inquired why tho property owners on Georgia street between Sixth and Eighth avenues had not besn compelled to lay side walks, as ordered. I developed that the cCrlrac.or had "throWn up the job and the Board of Public Affairs was instructed to advertise for bids again for the work.
 Engineer Allen said the city was unable to do any repair work because Montague and McGeorge had refused to furn s'h the city with any sand, as has been customary. Alderman Wolff it was up to the ccmmf- tee on public works to look after the streets with the street department.
 Alderman Veil declared that it was shame .he way the streets of Pine Bluff are being torn up, and left in tha. condition. He urged the appoint ment of special committee, as pro- vided in his resolution, asserting in his opinion. if new committee was named, better results along that line would be obtained. He wanted 10 ascertain who caused the excava- '.ions in the pavements and added that there is law to compel them tc repair the streets. He was informed tha' the ely has contract to do .he repair work, but that the inability O the city to gel sand made it imposl sible for the city 10 do the worl promptly
 Give the contract to someone who can get sand if the city canno5 dt the work" suggester Alderman Ches mutt
