said that movement was being or

Miss Goldman also declared she

LAST RAY OF HOPE
DIMMED FOR HIN
C. v. T. RIcHESoN MUST ATONE
WITH HIS LIFE THE MURDER
OF SWEETHEART

Boston, May 17.-C. V. L. Richeson,
the slayer of Avis Linnell, slept quiet
ny in his cell in the death house at
Charlestown state prison last night,
ignorant that the governor had refns-
ed commutation of his sentence. The
announcement of the decision Of the
alienists that he was sane and that
the governor would not urge clemen-
cy was left to be made to the prisoner
today 1t was expected that the task
would fall on either the condemned
mans counsel, William A. Morse, the
prison chaplain, Rev. Herbert w.
Stephins, or his spiritual adviser,
Rev. Herbert S. Johnson.
The execution of Richeson probably
will take place early next week. There
is sentiment against a Monday
morning execution as occurring so
close to Sunday, which has been re-
cognized by the warden of the prison.
An exception may be made, owing to
the highly nervous state of the con-
demned, and it is not improbable that
Richeson may go to the chair Monday
morning.
The time within the week Of May
10 is entirely at the warden's disere-
tion and only the legal witnesses will
know before hand ait what time the
sentence of the law will be carried
out.
The news that he will be electro
cuted next week for the murder of
Avis Linnell was received calmly by
Clarence v. T. Richeson today. He
was informed that Governor Foss had
declined to lay the petition for a
Communication of sentence before the

William A. Morse, and his spiritual
adviser, Rev. Herbert s. Johnson.

SOCIALISTS EXPELLED FROM MU-

San Diego, Calf, May 17-Mem-
bers of the citizens committee of
San Diego resumed their campaign OF
friendly advice" early today. Citi-
zens who had gone on the bonds Of
members of the Industrial Workers
of the World and the attorneys Of
the latter were warned. 1t is expect
ed that within the next two days ev-
cry person out on bonds as a result
of charges of having violated the or
dinance regulating street speaking
and attempts to wreck the city jail
will be surrendered by their bonds
men and compelled to remain in jail
until their trials are called unless
they choose to reverse their pleas of
not guilty.
An automobile containing three
members of the citizens committee
left San Diego last night for Fuller
ton, near Los Angeles, to secure Jack
Whyte, who openly processes anarchy
in San Diego and who now is out on
bonds. He advised the authorities
here Wednesday that he could not
return to San Diego for trial because
he had been interferred with by vigi-
lantes. His bondsmen have asked to
be relieved and Whyte, if found to-
day, will be brought to San Diego and
placed in Jail.
A special to the San Diego Union
from Washington, d. c., this morning
says the department of justice has
instructed the United States district
attorney at Los Angeles to make a
thorough investigation of the trouble
in San Diego and report to the attor-
ney general. This was done, it is
stated, on appeal for such investiga-
ton by the mayor of San Diego and
the superintendent of police, after the
appeal had been considered by the
president and members of the cabi-
net.

PRESIDENT Makes Brave struggle


Cleveland, O., May 17.-Refreshed
by a comparatively quiet day here and
prepared to keep up the fight against
the denomination of Colonel Roosevelt
until the end, President Taft left
Cleveland early today to take uI
again his speechmaking tour of the
state.
Friends of the president were con
fident that he was more determined
than ever to make the struggle for
Ohio's As delegates to the republican
national convention as strenuous as
possible. Although Mr.. Taft declined
to discuss reports published here that
he might abandon the fight for re
nomination if he should lose in the
Ohio primaries. men close to him
place no credence in such report
They point to the fact that hundreds
of delegates to the convention are in
|structed and pledged to Mr.. Taft and
that the Taft workers throughout the
country have put up their best fight
for him. They figure also on the bit
ter. resentmet the president has shown
toward Colonel Roosevelt and few OF
them would concede that he would
ever withdraw in favor of his prede'
cessor.

yesterday for his battle with specta-

text of the message sent to Johnson

The Taffeta Craze.

During last season pett1coats of soft
satin presented the only type Of under
skirt possible to wear with the narrow
slirted frocks. This season. however. the
taffeta petticoat has made It's reappear-
ance and is welcomed with enthusiasm.
The same shot taffeta as that employed
for gowns and hats is used also for pet
ticoats, while instead OF a single scant
founce two or three perfectly fat fiounces
are employed. The edges In many cases
are bound with narrow velvet ribbon or
edged with a narrow accordion-pleated
frill.
The taffeta craze makes 1t very simple
and easy to renoyate last seasons hats

chosen for this purpose. the silk being

There is nothing SO satisfactory as

of thin leather which would be apt to
crack and stiffen from it's frequent i'm

be better than a gilt one for salt water

another capacity. The wet bathing suit

the belt. in which an additional hole may
