Those who attended the conference from outside Little Rock were Toney, of Lake Village; Mayor Scott, of For rest City; Mayor Hugh Martin, of Hell cna: and Mayor Tom Burrus. C. F. l Gregs and A. F. Lockhart, of Jones' l boro.
 Mayor Martin, of Helena, reported that they do not need any assistance outside of that furnished by the gov ernment for taking care of the flood refugees and q similar report was submitted by Mayor Scott, of Forrest City.
 The most distressing report was made by Mayor E. P, Toney, of Lake Village who roWed thirteen miles from his back door, ill d bateau -to the nearest railroad station at Mon trose to reach Little Rock. The town has been under water since April 10, with back water from the Arkansas and the break in the Mississippi riv- CT levee at Panther Forest, ten miles atove Lake Village. That break is now 2,2O0 feet wide, and getting wid CT all the time. It is the first crev- aSse there in 20 years. The water is from one to five feet deep in tho streets and business houses, and many residences of the city, and ha i fallen only IA inches from it's highest l The fall is only about one inch il i lorty-eight hours.
 There are a1out 4,C0O destitute per sons at Lake Village, go per cent e whom are negroes, whom the goFe.E= ment has been feeding since carly iH l April, and must continue to feed for q month or six weeks longer. Sixty per cent of their stock was drowned, and p per cent of the remainder has since died from starvation and expos ure At least one-half of them will be unable to plant any cro pthis sea- son, and the others must have seed and stock and implements. Lieut.. Hanna, U. s. A., in charge of the government relief, has done and is doing much in giving aid. Fear had been expressed that this would be withdrawn, but message from Con gressman Jacoway was read to tho ef- feet that the aid would be continued as long as there is any necessity for it. Mayor Toney said that the negro labor must be kept there, and that as the water recedes, those who cannot make a crop will be put at work in the lumter mills.
 demonstration agent for the state who has been making personal in- vestigation in the overflow district, said that the great need in all the counties would be seed, and the con ference adopted resolution request ing the government to set apart q portion of the $S00,0OO relief fund for the purpose of furnishing seed to those unable to buy it. The govern ment agents will probably supervise the planting as soon as the water gets off the land. Arrangements are being made to secure several car loads of Mexican corn that can be planted in June.

TAR AND FEATHER
 BEN REICHMAN Emma Goldman's Manager Tells of Horrible Treat
 ment He Received.
TAKEN FROM A HOTEL
Then t0 Il Desert and Made the Vic tim of TOrture-ArriycS at
 Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 16-"l was taken from the II. s. Grant Hotel Tuesday night by fourteen men and placed in an automobile,' said pr. Ben Reichman, manager of Emma Goldman, today, in telling of his eX- perience with San Diego vigilantes, Dy whom he was given coating of tar and feathers early Wednesday morning.
 When refused to go, four of them placed revolvers against my body.
 tThey were all we'll dressed and apparently refined. One clasp ped his hand over my mouth and the police cleared path to the waiting mach inc.
 ''We drove thirty miles into the desert, followed by another automo- bile. The torture began at once. Fin- gers were thrusts up my nose and into my eyes, they stuck pencils into my nostrils tore out my hair by the roots, stuck filth in my mouth and applied epithets worse than I ever. heard in the vilest criminal dens in the lowest countries on earth.
 "At a certain spot four men were awaiting us around a fire. The auto mobile searchlight illuminated tlle place. First my clothing was torn off, Then they committed upon me vile acts of fiendishness, the details of which are unfit for publication.
 Screaming in pain l begged them to kill me. Mo- they replied
 They wanted me to go away and tell how they received advocates of free speech in San Diego. Being un- able to sing the Star Spanged Ban- ner I was beaten with club. stood naked in yelling circle of white men who advanced in pairs. their eyes glittering in the search lights, to inflict pain.
 Their final scheme before the burning, was running the gauntlet. ran through double row of men. each teating me with a club as I passed. They got that from the In dians.
 Then, while six held me on the ground, another slowly traced figures on my back with lighted cigar, soaring the flesh horribly.
 Their one cry was, We're Ameri- cans and we'll teach you to keep away from San Diego was smear ed with filth and then the American flag was thrust into my throat until was strangled. After enduring two hours of torture the boiling tar was applied Then was chased into the desert, one following and beating me with my own cane until he stopped exhausted. They said they would treat Miss Goldman the same way if she was captured.
 At dawn reached little town called Bernardo and entered it. We cannot prosecute. Governor Johnson had been appealed to in vain. What are we going to do?"
 An investigation has been started by the Federal Grand Jury at Los Angeles.

Richeson Must Go to Elec tric Chair, He Says, After
 Examining Reports.
HE GETS NEWS TODAY
Was Not of TnsOund Mind When lie Murdered Avis Linnp1l-Pris-
 Oner is Cheerful.

Boston, Mass, May 16-Clarence V. T. Richeson must die in the electric chair at Charles: own state prison ney. week for the murder of Avis Linr.elL His last hope expired to> day wher Gove.ncr Foss stated that he would not refer Richeson's peti- ton for communication to the execu- tive council.
 The Governors decision came after reading the repcrss received today from the six alien,ists who were chosen to examine the condemned man. The report of the alienists was practically to the effect that Richssiln was sane. The Governors statement follows:
 Executive clemency will not bn extended in 'the case of Clarence ". T. Richescn. The prisoner was ssn- 'enced upen his own confession and without trial fer 2 crime which it appears impossible that any normal man could commit
 After. his confession and ssntenca the pFdE of insanity was set up ly his counsel and, strongly supporied by aff davitg essending over his life.

 The evidence shows that Riche- sons family is heavily afflicted with insanity, and that he himself is neurctic, that he is subject to emo- tional disturbances, marked by loss of memory which two alienists have diagnosed as hyste'rical insanity, one physic an added the alternating term of hysterical delirium, and the ma iority of opinions indicating tha; these attecks are hysterical attacks marked by extreme emotional dis turbances of brief duration with loss Of memory during the attack and fer varying period following it.
 sThe evidence, however while clearly revealing to me the facts, in dicate,s chat his crime was not com mit,ed by him during such an attack therefore there is some divergence os opinion among the aliensts. as to whether these attacks indica-e actual insanity. There is sufficient grounds for the conclusion that he is accountable for his crime and that the exercise of executive clemency would be contrary to the public good

Grand Trunk and Boston.

Very early in the fight for the pas
sage of the bill admitting the Grand
Trunk railway of Canada into Boston,
through its subsidiary, the Southern
New England railroad, it became ev-
dent that the popular feeling in the Bay
state was that the extension ought TO
be permitted but, despite the very evil
dent feeling of the people, it was only
by the hardest kind of work that tue
measure, in a form that was acceptable,
was passed by the two houses of tine
legislature and received the signature
of Governor Foss. Railroad activity al
ways calls forth legislative activity and
it is only natural that those companies
that are on the ground floor in the ter
ritory which it is sought to invade,
should most strenuously object to any
new corners. But in case of this kind,
when the advantages most apt to result
from the new road far outweigh any al
legged disadvantages, it would have been
an open violation of trust for the peo-
pies representatives not to have taken
favorable action. Boston now has the
Grand Trunk and tie Grand Trunk has
Boston. And the towns along the line
won't suffer any.-St. Adams Messen-
ger.

COMING TRAP SHOOT.
Information as to Tournament to Be
Held Under Barre Auspices.

| The Interstate Association for the I'm.
| couragement Of Trap Shooting, the par
ent organization Of the trap shooting fra
| ternity in America, has registered tour
nament in Barre on June 1919. under
the auspices of the Barre Gun club. I'M
like baseball and similar sports, trap
shooting has not been given the publicity
that such clean, wholesome sport should
receive. 1t is essentially a gentleman 5
sport and includes among the thousands
of supporters men of all professions.
The great majority of sport loving Amer.
leans haven't the slightest conception of
the magnitude of the recreation, and the
tournament to be held in this city will
60 long way towards impressing the
public with the scope of the pastime
and the type OF men who follow it.
The tournament will be one Of $50
registered events of the seasons cam
paign of the Interstate association, an
organization which not only contributes
its moral, but also it's financial, support
to an Incompatible sport. For 1912, the
association has arranged to contribute
$4,000 to the tournaments given under
its auspices throughout the country
This large sum is distributed to fixtures
in every section and is bound to attract
to the gatherings the highest quality OF
marksmen in the land.
The tournaments as operated by the
Interstate association, are exclusively for
amateurs, the professionals being on
hand to demonstrate their skill only and
show that America has the best class
of marksmen in the world. The display
of these men is a splendid attraction and
forms a potent card. Marvellous records
are accredited to the experts, one top
notcher having a record of more than
800 consecutive breaks of clay targets
at unknown angles. The program has
been devised for amateurs exclusively,
and competition will surely be acute
among the local shotgun men.

the resort of Henry Foster that John
Messmaker met his death from poisoning

is Edward NJ Fasting, a friend of the

after Messmaker died he saw the Ford
girl and she told him of Messmaker's
sickness. According to Fasting the girl

dnjection of morphine, but that was all.
He had had number of drinks, however,
and complained that they had peculiar
taste.

all the girls in the place to hurry across

matters by securing a death certificate
