ARMED MEN HUNT SLAYER
OF BABY IN LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock, Ark, May 20.-Muni-
cipal rolice, sheriff's Deputies consta-
bies and citizens who answered the
mayors proclamation to arm them
selves and make strenuous efforts to
capture the mysterious prowler who
for several weeks has -terrorized Lit
tie Rock and who early yesterday
reached the point of murder in his
campaign of crime were stiIL scour-
ing the byways of this PLACE early
today. Scores of houses were searched
without avail.
AT most every spot to which it was
believed possible for the murderer
to have gone into hiding and to which
it was believed possible for him to
have made his way during the night
has been carefully combed
News that the robber had added
murder to his list of exploits here
by firing at Mrs. D. P. Coulter and
killing the baby daughter Of the fam
lily treated intense excitement, caused
a state bordering on hysterical ter
ror on the part Of the women and
children and reused the men folks
to grim determination yesterday.
Many families took turns among
their members watching through last
night, fearing to sleep, while others
were assisting in the widespread
manhunt.
SO far there has not been uncov-
cred the slightest clue to the iden-
tity Of the miscreant, but it is be-
Iieved he is a lunatic.

Roosevelt Says ThereIl Be No Com

Hilton, O., May 20.-President Tart.
on the last day of his campaign tour
through Ohio, made hot answer to
Coloiiel Roosevelt's charge that he
had abolished many important -con-
missions" appointed in the last ad-
minlstration, by making the counter
charge that these commissions fire.
quently had been unlawfully appoint-
ed.
The presidents attack on Roosevelt
began with discussion of the mining
bureau bill.
Mr.. Roosevelt says that he ortgi-
mated that bureau" said Mr.. Taft.
and that he appointed a commits
sion which was abolished by congress
and that am not entitled to any
credit for the mining bureau bill.
No Respect for Law.
That offers good illustration of
his respect for the law. Whenever he
thought it necessary, without any au-
thorlty of law, he would appoint a
commission. That commission would
incur expenses until congress decided
to limit him in that regard. SO In a
Dill, which was passed before | came
into office at all, a bill which Mr..
Roosevelt signed, the president was
forbidden to appoint any more COM
missions because congress regarded
as IN unlawful expenditure of money
not authorized by appropriation by
congress. Now Mr. Roosevelt says
l am to blame for not yielding to the
bossss, because | did not continue
many of the commissions which had
been unlaWfully created. Well,
could not do it because of the ex-
press prohibition of the law which
was passed before l got into office
and which he himself signed.
That is an instance of his mac
curacy of memory He applies that
to the country life commission, to
he mining commission and to every
that his lively imagina-
ion thought it would be we'll to ap-
point. 1t is easy enough to appoint

DETROIT TIGERS
WILL PLAY BALL
TEAM TO GET BACK IN FIELD
WHILE coee's SUSPENSION
is INVESTIGATED.

Philadelphia, May 20.-The baseball
strike inaugurated by the Detroit team
of the American league last Satur-
day, came to an end at 1856 D. N. to-
day when President Navin of the club
announced that the team would play
in Washington tomorrow without the
services of Ty Cobb, who still stands
suspended for his attack on a specta-
tor in New York last week. Presi-
dent Navin informed the players that
he would do his utmost to have the
suspension of Cobb lifted at the earl
lest moment and that, he would take
care of all fines inflicted upon the
players for their strike.
The players have consented to re-
turn on this promise, because they
feel that Mr.. Navin was the innocent
sufferer in this extraordinary affair.
The players say they desire it dis
tinctly understood that the principle
involved upon Which they struck will
be taken up and fought to finish.
What Players Want.
The players announced in the pres
ence OF Mr.. Nayin that hereafter if
they can have it, an investigation
shall be made before a player is sus-
pended
Mr.. Navin promised the players and
announced it. in the presence of the
newspaper men that he would take
up with the American league the
question of protection of the players
against the pOrtsmanlike conduct /
on the part of spectators.
The players say that this action
was not taken as a result Of anything
Ban Johnson has done; that their
fight against what they termed the
arrogance of the American league
president is still on.
Cobb Requested Action.
Ty Cobb the suspended CEN
terfielder of the Detroit team over
whom the players struck, this after
noon appealed to the strikers to re-
turn to the game tomorrow without
him. This followed similar appeal
from President Navin of the Detroit
club for the men to stand by him.
Mr. Navin told them they were still
members CT the Detroit team and
that they had not jeopardized their
positions
In an interview President Johnson
said that at their meeting this morn
ing, he told Mr. Navin emphatically
that he must send Cobb home, as he
would not be retnstated until the
matter is thoroughly threshed out.
The players must submit to pun
shment, told him. This will prob
ably take the form of a fine. I liked
the attitude of Navin, who was very
firm and expressed himself strongly
regarding the strike"
After conference between Presi-
lent Navin and strikers of the De-
-roit American league club, this aft
ernoon. it was announced that Navin
had told his Tigers that President
Johnson would not reinstate Ty out

R|CHESON WAS /
READY FOR END
IN FATAL CHAIR
YOUNG VIRGlNiAN TELLS WAR
DEN HE WILL NOT BREAK
DOWN AT FINAL SUMMONS.
Relatives Will Not Visit Him in the
Prison Before Execution, Which
Took Place During Early Hours of
This Morning.

Boston, May 20-A desire that the
last hour of his earthly. existence
might come speedily, apparently, was
the dominating thought in the mind
of Clarence V. T. Richeson as he
arose from his prison bed today. The
young Virginian who shortly after
midnight tonight will probably pay
his penalty for the murder of Avis
Linnell, has become reconciled to hrs
fate and courageously faces the fu-
ture. 4
Il will be ready when you want
me, warden he said to Gen. Bridges
late last night when that official paid
him a brief visit, and he added, do
not worry, l shall not break down.
Bore UP Well Sunday.
Richeson bore up well through his
last Sunday on earth. He even was
cheerful as he sang hymns with the
chaplain until a late hour last night.
Then he would read from the Psalms.
His exposition of the lessons were
described by the chaplain as eEo-
quent and learned.
1t was not until daylight this morn
ing that Richeson fell into a fitful
sleep.
Realizing that his hours were few
in number, the condemned man de-
clared he did not want to sleep. 81

No Relatives See, Him,
No, relative of the former minister
will console him in his last hours or
pay him a farewell visit. His aged
father in Virginia is too feeble to
stand the journey and the strain.
His sister in New York state does
not wish to have her last thought of
her trother associated with a death
cell. His brother, Douglas Richeson,
of Chicago, although in the city to-
day, declared last night that he would
not Fo to the prison today, but would
remain until after the execution to at
tend to the disposition of the re-
mains
After the execution the medical ex-
aminer of the county, DR.. George B. |
Magrath, will perform an autopsy in
accordance with law, notwithstanding
the fl ct THAI the ia nily have sent
word to counsel for the condemned
man that they would not permit it.
Rev. Herbert S. Johnson, Richie
sons spiritual adviser and his coun-
sell W. A. Morse, probably will ac-
the body to Virginia, where
it will be buried beside that or the.

Cambridge, o., May 20. - Colonel
Roosevelt served notice today that
he would resist any compromise at
the republican national convention.

said in Cambridge Some of our op-
pom elts are saying that neither Mr.

Continuing, Roosevelt said: 81 want

No Roosevelt delegate is saying

interests that is supporting Mr.. Taft
and himself a supporter of Mr. Taft,

with me, came to me and said just
about what these two Taft delegates

Ralph inherited his fathers bust

succession to the company after
the fathers death. Jack was a
spendthrift, wild young fellow,
who was dismissed from Har-

was of it. Withal, he had done
nothing worthy of being disin-
herited. However, his father sent
him west for five years to make a

a couple of years later, that he

father, with the old prejudice
