STATES IS
STIRRED TO ACTION
Possibility That Germany May
Acquire West Indian Posses
sions of Denmark.
International News Service.

BY International News Service.
WASHINGTON, May l9-The possibil-
lty that ST. Thomas. St John and Santa
Cruz, the three West Indian possessions
Of Denmark, may fell into the hands of
Germany because of the death OF the
Danish King Frederick VIII, is now oc-
cupying the earnest attention OF dip
lomatlsts in Washington.
The new king is understood to be even
more friendly to Germany than his father
and that Germany has never concealed
Willingness TO acquire these islands:
and thus gain commercial foothoId on
one of the southern stepping stones to
the American continent.
Inasmuch as the islands are OF tho
greatest strategic Importance to this
country, now that the Panama canal is
about TO open, there is disposition to
regard their disposal, even to a friendly
power bent only on commercial eXpan-
sion. as unwise. Diplomats who have
been discussing the situation since the
death of the late king, are inclined to
believe that II the Islands are to be put
up for sale. the United States should be
the purchasers.

many for the Islands is wholly due to its
eagerness for trade expansion. This be-
lief is strengthened by the fact that the
Hamburg American line has been busy
extending its wharf and warehouse faclli-
ties there.
These three Islands never have been
profitable to Denmark: on the contrary.
their control has made inroads on the
national treasury. Following negotia- =
tions in the late sixties, the Danish rigs
Gag ratified treaty for their sale To
the United States early in 1868 for $500.
600 The senate never ratified this con-
venton and II fell through. Another
convention was negotiated In. 1909 for
the sale of the islands for $5,000.oo0. II
was ratified by the senate. but the land :
thing. or upper house Of Denmark, re-
jected Il by tie vote. Since then no
offer has been made.
1t is pointed out that the United States
has the right to acquire the Islands be-
cause of their immense Importance To
the canal and that they could be now
purchased with opposition By any
foreign power, 1t is not believed that
even Germany would make serious oppo-
sitlon In View of the immense value the
islands would be to the United States

IN OSTON, May 19-Clarence V. T.
X Richcson, slayer of Avis Lin
nell, with calmness induced by
hours of religious meditation,
awaits the summons Of death.
He may live to see another sunrise,
but he may be taken to the death
chamber in the state prison at any
minute after midnight tonight. I'm
der the law the hour set for an execu-
tion cannot be given out In advance,
but it was intimated at the prison to-
night that the prisoner will not be elec-
trocuted until daybreak Tuesday.
Richeson shows no symptoms tonight
of an approaching collapse. He sits
OH the edge Of his cot reading the
Bible. and aside from an occasional
ftfuI twitching of his fingers and q
compression of his lips there is moth
ing in his demeanor to indicate that
he has not mastered his feelings and
resolved to face his doom unfalter-
ingly.
Death Chamber Close.
His cell is only n few PAGES from the
death chamber, Despite all the pre-
cautions taken by the prison officials,
it is almost certain he will hear the
electricians when they begin the task
of preparing the death chair to re-
ceive him What he will do when be
hears these men at work is the cause
Of considerable anxiety to the prison
officials.
Richeson was gratifed today TO learn
that his body will not be given to the
surgeons for dissection. This infor-
nation is believed to have buoyed him
up greatly, as, next to the desire to
see his aged father, privilege that
has been denied him. he wishes most
to be buried beside his mother in the
family plot in Virginia
Given Opiate.
Tho prisoner did not 90 to sleep until
3 clock this morning, He spent the
night talking with the Rev. Herbert s.
johnson. his spiritual adviser, and the
prison chaplain, DR.. Stebbins. The
doomed man persisted in talking of his
father and other members of his fam
ily and was obsessed with the idea of
the cloud that he is leaving to hover
over his kin. Tears often came TO his
ewes. but he controlled his feelings ad-
mira bly,. At o'clock he went to sleep
under the influence of opiates and
awoke this morning apparently much
refreshed. Rev. Johnson and Dr.. Steb-
bins were again with him this morn
inc, but this afternoon he was left to
mediate.
The clergymans sister, Miss Louise
Richeson, a nurse of Saranac Lake. y.
Y. and brother. Douglas Richeson OF
Chicago, arrived here tonight and at a
late hour were in consultation with the
prison officials. 1t is understood that
thev were given assurance that none
Of the requests of the medical men for
their brother s brain and spinal cord
will be granted. The prisoner had been
apprised Of this decision earlier in the
evening.
The officials were disinclined to-
grant the prisoner an interview WIN
his brother and sister tonight, and this
fact strengthened the belief that he
will not be executed before Tuesday

ment of its kind at Greenwood Park,

games between the different schools.
Aside from the parents, there will be

of his neighbor, he is even willing
to sacrifice himself, even to give his
own life, in order to protect him from
injury and preserve him from evil.
The real trouble is that the white
man and the black man do not, have
an opportunity to get next to each
Other, or rather they too often meet
each other in such way that each
sees the worst, and fails to recognize
the best that is in the other.
| find that in most cases where
white men abuse the Negro, or where
the Negro complains about the white
man, each is talking not about the
individual white man or the individual
Negro, whom he knows, but about a
class of individuals which he has con-
structed out of the general impression
of persons he did not know intimately
and well. Where, as frequently hap
pen in the South, black men and white
men get to know each other and
where the races understand each
other, there Is very little difficulty be-
tween them.
1t is in their individual relationship
where men get to know each other by
working together that we must look
for a solution Of the race problem in
the South and elsewhere.
Let mo add N conclusion, that 1t
does not seem to me that there is
any reason for despair as long as
there remain individuals among the
masses CT each rach race who are will
ing to risk their lives to serve and
save individuals Of the other.
