Chicago, June 10.
Must Show 100000.

Just before the committee went in
to session there appeared to be a
unanimity among the members that
the city to be awarded the convention
must come forward with definite Of
fer Of 100000. Baltimore, it was said,
is the only city at that time to have
made such a definite proposition, but
the advocates Of that city had act
succeeded in obtaining pledges.
Many Of the members were hop''i
st. Louis duruing the afternool would
meet Baltimore's offer, in which event
1t was freely predicted that the Wes-
tern city would carry OF the prize
this year
There was some opposition to st.
Louis, however, on the ground that
both former Governor Folk and Speak
er Champ Clark Of Missouri, were
presidential aspirants.
New York's chances for the conven-
ton suffered from a feeling among
the democrats that that city was "too
near Wall street and too close to
Tammany hall"

A LIFE SENTANCE
RICHESON'S HOPE
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL AND Gov
ERNoR TO BE ASKED TO CON-
MUTE DEATH SENTENCE.

Boston, Jan. 8.-As the Rev Clar-
ence V. T. Richeson, former pastor Of
Emmanuel Baptist church, of Cam
bridge, was about to be taken from
Charles street Jail to the superior
court today to change his plea from
not guilty to guilty Of wilfully MUIR
Gcring his former sweetheart, Avis
Linnell, his jailers were notified that
his counsel could not be present, and
the accused clergyman need not APP
pear until tomorrow,
Even If Rlcheson pleads guilty to
the first degree indictment tomorrow,
| it is expected that sentence to the
electric chair will not be pronounced
for a week or two, and that the gov
ernor and council will finally decide
his fate.
While the court has no option but
to pass sentence of death, counsel
for Richeson hope that the fact that
the confession of guilt will save the
county large sums of money, protect
innocent persons from embarrassing
experiences on the witness stand and
suppress mach testimony prejudicial
to public morals, will have weight
with the governor and executive coun-
Gil when a petition for Communication
of the death penalty comes before
them.
The proceedings in court tomorrow
will be brief. The young clergyman's
counsel will give formal notice be-
fore Judge Sanderson Of the desire Of
their client to change mis- plea of not
guilty. Judge Sanderson will then
confirm that statement by asking the
prisoner directly il he so desires. up
on learning from Richeson that such
is his intention, the Indictment will
be read and the defendant ordered to
plead. The district attorney may
then move for immediate sentence or
ask for brief delay. The court also
may desire sufficient time to think
the matter over before pronouncing
sentence.
On the matter Of communication the
governor cannot act without the con-
sent Of a majority OF the executive
council. One member OF that coun-
Gil, John Quinn, of Boston, has ex-
pressed himself as opposed to infiict-
Ing the death penalty upon Richeson,
but the other members have refused
to commit themselves.

MAY BE ST. SIMON MAN.
Body of Man Killed Near Everett Still
Being Held.

Is the body of the young man held
lat the Zellner undertaking parlors for
almost three weeks, that of Martin
q. Boyle, raised on st. Simon? That
:. the question which is now trying
. b. decided, and, until something
definite IS known, the body, which
was 10 nave been inferred several
days ago, will be held.
The mans identity has previously
been established as being Charles
Richardson of Toledo, o., who has
no near relatives. This was the de-
cision reached by Coroner Jennings
after thorough investigation, but it
developed yesterday that the dead
man may be young Boyle of St. ST.
mon.
1t seems that Boyle has been miss
ing for some time. Some person from
the island viewed the body and re
marked that the man resembled Boyle.
Another person from the island, who
knew Boyle well, stated that he mad
a deep cut on one of his toes by
which he could be identified, he hav-
ing been with him when his toe was
cut with an ak. An examination was
made and the cut was found on the
toe. Other people who knew young
Boyle also viewed the body and all
of them stated that, while they were
not certain, there was every indica-
ton that the dead man was Boyle.
This being the case, Undertaken Zell-
ner is still holding the body with the
hope that there is somebody on the
island who will be able to identify it.

Insuring Against Hen-Lice.

The time ssto fight lice is all the
time. Absolute cleanliness must be
maintained at all times. The drop
pings should be removed at least once
q week.
Twice year, in spring and autumn,
general cleanup should take place.
The perches should be removed and
burned until the outside is thoroughly
charred. The building should be thor
oughly whitewashed. For this purpose
a spray pump not only facilitates the
work, but does much better job, the
spray putting the whitewash into
cracks and crevices that would be diff
cult to reach with brush.
A good spray pump will do as much
in an hour as could ordinarily be done
in day with brush. The perches
should be thoroughly sprayed every
week or so with kerosene to keep
down the red mites. These mites at
tack the fowls only at night, and are
found on the perches, or in cracks and
crevices near the roosting place.
Kerosene is an effective remedy, but
it should be applied frequently.
The litter should be replaced with
clean material at least once a month.
The nests should be looked to fire.
quently, as the hollow straws make
nice hiding and breeding places for
red mites. Excelsior is preferred by
many. However, the best material
for nesting purposes is tobacco stems.
When the house has been thoroughly
rid of the pests the fowls should re-
ceive attention. There are many lice
powders on the market, but the safest
plan is to make your own at home as
needed. Farm and Home says the
best formula is two ounces crude car
bolic acid. four ounces gasoline and
one pound air-slaked lime. The car
bolic acid and gasoline should be thor
oughly mixed and poured over the
lime, stirring the whole mass thor
oughly. Keep away from fire. After
standing for several days fine pow
der is the result. Use q sifter-top can.
Experience has shown that this pow
der is very effective.

moving picture house at Villareal, in
the province of Castellon, according to

A search of the ruins revealed 80

death list IF 103 will be increased.
The fact that the doors to the play

a large measure for the death list.

EASY MONEY FOR FARMERS.
National Commission on Farm Finance
Studies Foreign Methods.

Studies Foreign Methods.
The finance committee has reported
favorably to the United States senate
the Gronna resolution. 1t provides for
national commission on farm finance,
to consist of three members and to be
limited to one year. It is to investi-
gate and report upon the systems of
cooperative land-mortgaging, bank
ing. and cooperative rural credit
unions, which have achieved such stu
pendous success in Europe.
If this class of institution can be
enjoyed by American farmers, the
result will be of profound Importance,
says an editorial in Farm and Home.
The Nashville conference, which con-
sidered this problem, takes the same
view. An official report of the Brit
ish government says that these meth
DDS Of cooperative rural credit are "a
modern discovery which may be lik-
ened, as factor in production, to the
discovery of steam"
Some millions Of farmers in differ
ent European cuntries are members of
thousands of local and provincial
credit unions that make q business of
seasonable loans to farmers, at rea-
sonable rates. In Germany alone,
these rural banks are doing a business
of $4,000, 900, 600 annually. Foreign
cooperative land-mortgage banks do
still larger business, enabling farmers
to borrow money on mortgage at 81 to
Al per cent and encouraging them to
repay it by installments, SO that in
due time the farmer owns his place
free and clear of all incumbrance.
Abroad, these institutions are the
outgrowth of over $50 years expert
ence. Their successful development
in this country, declares Farm and
Home, may be productive of more
good than all of the political reforms
now agitating the public mind.
The national commission on farm
finance should present all the facts, so
that the farmers in the respective
states may succeed in their financial
cooperation. The report should sug-
gest what state laws are needed and
also whether any national legislation
is called for to promote the most eff
fective progress of cooperative farm
finance.

New FORKS Biggest Hostelries
Are Badly Crippled.
Six Hundred Leave Waldorf-Astoria
-Ownsrs Refuse to Recognise
Union But ofFsr More PAY.

New York-More than 800 walters,
together with cooks and other hotel
workers, went on strike at four large
hotels after o'clock Thursday night,
leaving thousands of would-be diners
dinnerless or forcing them in many
instances to wait on themselves.
More than 600 walters struck ut the
Waldorf, where 1900 patrons were
left hungry. Three other large hotels
were involved, the Breslin, Rector's
and the Gotham, with several small
ones. Unlike the day before, the pro-
prietors Of these hotels were able, in
degree, to keep things moving by
obtaining other help.
With those who had Joined previous
strikes at the Belmont, the Knicker-
booker and Churchill's make total of
more than 1900 who have actively
participated in the fight for higher
wages and better working conditions.
Interest centered mainly in the
strike at the Waldorf-Astoria. The
almost clean sweep Of this hotel,
which at any other time would have
caused complete paralysis Of bust
ness, was negatived in large part by
the tactics of the proprietor, George
G. Boldt, who forced the issue at
time when his hotel was least busy,
and when he was best prepared to
meet it.
Even while the WAldorf's proprie-
tor was talking to his men 116 wait
ers who had been secreted in the hotel
for several days were slipping into
their working clothes and by the time
the last of the old ones had gone they
were standing in front of the tables
ready for business.
Manned by q skeleton crew, the
Waldorf managed to serve most Of its
patrons, but not without delays and
confusion. 1t was estimated that
1900 would-be diners were at the
tables when the strike was called.
The management promptly marched
into the main dining room with $50
strike breakers. The kitchen, which
had suffered the loss Of nearly 100
cooks, was manned with q sufficient
number Of substitutes to supply cur
rent demands.
Extra forces of detectives and po-
lice were stationed about the hotel
and prevented disturbances. The
Gotham, the Breslin and Rector's
arrangements had no strikebreakers
ready.
