WOULD READJUST SALARIES
Expert Says Compensation of State
Employees Is Uneven Some Paid
Too Much, Others Not Enough.

Madison.-An adjustment Of sal
aries of officials and employees in the
capitol is necessary, according to the
special report of the joint commit
tee on finance just issued. Herbert
r. Sands, who has been conducting
the investigations, believes that in
equalities in salaries is due to lack
of Standardization.
ut seems probable that there are
too many low salaries and not enough
high salaries says Mr. Sands, chat
the recipients of the former are over
paid for the services rendered, while
the recipients of the latter are I'M
Gerpaid; that there are many in
equalities due to lack of standardiza-
ton. Such problems demand Just
such comprehensive investigation
as might be made by a permanent
staff of the finance committee"

R|CHESON DIES IN
ELECTRIC CHAIR
Ex-Pastor EIectrocuted al
CharIeStoWn Prison.
MINISTERS ARE WITH HIM
Walks to Death Room With Firm
Step and Every Outward lndica-
ton of CaInness and
RESIGNATION.

Massachusetts State Prison, Charles
town, Mass, May 22.-Clarence V. T..
Richeson has paid the penalty for the
murder of Avis LinneIl. The former
clergyman was eIectrocuted at 1910
Tuesday morning in the Charlestown
state prison.
The condemned man walked to the
electric chair with more firmness and
courage than had been expected by
those who had observed him for the
past few weeks.
He had spent his last hours in seek
ing spiritual consolation in the Bible
and in conversation with his spiritual
advisers, who were in almost constant
attendance up to the last moment.
Prison Chaplain Stebbins and Doc
tor Johnson, his spiritual adviser, had
a nerve-racking experience with the
condemned man before they succeed
ed in having him resign himself to
his fate.
Only when they had reminded him
that he was once q minister and ought
to show a sublime faith in the here
was ready to face the ordeal of legal
death without finching. Before this
he had exclaimed:
1T is terrible! I cannot stand it.

take the attitude that 1t was his duty
to the church to be brave. Under the

were periods when outbreaks occurred.
The solemn hour of midnight found
Richeson praying, after which he re-
cited the Twenty-third Psalm.
81 am ready now" he said
A moment later the warden ap-
peared to escort him to the death
chamber. Richeson did not falter, and
walked to the chair with firm step
and every outward indication Of calm
ness and resignation.
The crime for which Richeson was
electrocuted in the electric chair was
the confessed murder of his former
sweetheart, nineteen-year-old Avis
Linnell of Hyannis, pupil in the
New England Conservatory of Music
in Boston
The girl stood in the way of the
minister's marriage to Miss Violet Ed
mands, a society girl and heiress of
Brcokline, both through an engage

two and because of a condition in
which Miss Linnell found herself

GREAT CHECK TO AVIATION
Flying in America Is Injured by Sensa-
tonal Experiments That often
Are Disastrous.

Aviation has been very slow in TAX
ing hold in this country. While abroad
the number of machines demanded by
the constantly growing corps of avia-
tors taxes the capacity of the many
manufacturing plants in France, Eng
land and Germany, there is not bust
ness enough in the United States to
Keep our concerns, few in number
though they be, in full activity
For this undeniable state of affairs
there is reason and the fancy and
exhibition flights of American aviators,
so widely advertised, must bear a
large part Of the burden. Aeroplanes
VIII never become popular for general
pleasure travel until it has been dem
onstrated that they can be operated
with comparative safety.
Far from advancing the cause of
aviation, as has been often stated by
those unfamiliar with the situation,
such exploits, for instance. as those of
Lincoln Beachey last January at Los
Angeles, and previous to that at Mag
ara Falls, tend to terrify the ordinary
mind and lead II to believe that the
perils thus encountered are insepara-
bic from the aeroplane.
Then, when disaster comes, as it is
bound to come, and another aviator is
added to the death roll, the sensa-
tional press finds still further opportu-
nifty to scare off those who might 9TH
erwise be enjoying fight.
Aviation as a popular means Of
amusement seems now to be a GER
talnty-some time. But sensational
flying only tends to hold back this
final contamination. In time this
handicap can be overcome, because
the demand for exhibition work is
growing less and less all the time, and
the circus" type of operator will be
forced to turn to more lucrative fields
for exploitation
Already, however, sensible aviators
realize in what direction the real fu-
ture Of aerolocomotion lies, and are
doing their best to impress the fact on
the more reckless and less intelligent
of their brethren.
Today we have machines which are
suitable for aerial travel in this coun-
try. Once let the fact that they can
be operated without undue risk be
proved, and there will be no lack Of
men to man them.-Boston Transcript

eight Of the forty-two district dele

not designate which other districts

Queer Beehivcs.

In the prettily-situated mountain vii.

number of curious beehives In the
shape of life-size figures cleverly
carved in wood and painted in col

century ago by monks of the Naum-

in possession of a large farm in the
district. There are twenty of these
strange beehives, and they represent
different characters, ranging from
Moses to a military officer. a country
