b On -i this evidence and the known acquaintance of the minister N with Miss LinneH the arrest of lRicheson was determined on. The. police sur rounded the mansion on the night of October 19.9 but admission was refus- ed Finally early next morning they were admitted and found the minis ter. in bed. He was formally arrested on a murder charge and protested his innocence
 The theory of the police from the start was that the minister was re- sponsible for the girls condition and that he had promised to get her medf- cine which would effectually hide her shame from the world. Instead the latter admitted he gave her capsules filled with dry cyanide. The girl, be- took of the deadly drug believing 1t was in reality medicine for the pur- pose intended.
 After his arrest the members of the Edmands family stood by the minis ter They proclaimed their belief in his innocence and it was announced that they would finance his defense. On Thanksgiving Day Miss Edmands sent flowers and dainties to the ac- cused man in his cell and said she had implicit confidence that he would soon be free and they would he wed in the end.
 On the night of December 20 Riche- son was heard moaning and crying in his cell Finally he asked guard to send for doctor. One was soon there and investigation revealed the fact that the minister, probably in I moment of mental alteration, had fearfully mutilated himself with Sa piece of tin he had secured and sharp- ened to a razor edge on the floor of the cell. So serious were the wounds inflicted that the doctors who were hurriedly called were forced to com plete the operation the man had be- gun and for time he was in grave danger of dying from blood poison ing
 That Richeson had planned to have inc operation he attempted figure in his defense was charged by the Prose crtor and he was little surprised when on Jan. 6 last, he was furnished with a confession of guilt by Richeson's lawyers. When the confession was repeated in court on Jan g. there was nothing for Judge Sanderson to do but impose the only penalty by law for first degree murder. Friends of Richeson started an agitation to have his sentence commuted to life imprisonment, but the Governor and his council refused to act. A petition claiming insanity was filed in the case but promptly overruled.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES.

Now that porch furnishing time is here banish the warm-lOoking pillows of thick material and invest in some with linen Or wash silk covers for summer use.
 Among the delightful things for the house in summer are the gay and quaint colonial rag rugs, which cost washed as often as necessary.
 To remove sticky fypaper from clothing, saturate the spot wei with turpentine, roll up and let remain overnight. In the morning wash the material with warm water and soap.
 If the soles of walking shoes are dipped in melted wax once every two or three weeks, they will last twice as long and will be waterproof. This has been thoroughly tested. Wax enough for a dozen pair will cost cents.

4 WORK OF ART
 NORMAL JOURNAL
An Accomplishment in When hePuo Hcan Job Office Takes
 Some Pride

one of the most artistic pieces or iob work ever turned out from any sbon in Phoenix is The Fountain, the 1912 annual of the Tempe Norman school And the work was done Tn The Republican job plant.
 There are more than huhoreu pages of this annual and each one or them is a real piece of art It IS about as nearly perfect as one could imagine; and this remark applies to everything, from the quality of the paper to the handsome hall tones with which the annual is crammed' There are portraits of the faculty' students and graduates, information of all sorts. the inevitable verses, and quite a lot of drawings of mgh order of merit.
 Of course the job man can't do hls best work unless he has good ma terial on which to eXpend his efforts; and it is no exaggeration to say that the compilers of this annual per formed their part in a manner of which the institution may be justly proud Altogether. then, the annual is one of the handsomest ever issued in Arizona and if the NOrmalites are as proud of it as The Republican they are going some" and no mistake.

WILLETT 8 GRAYS REVIEW
OF THE SUGAR SITUATION

refined. This accounts for the present
small existing demand for the rein.
ers' production.
Naturally It is expected that the
present wide difference in parity Of
Cuba and Hamburg, 9Oc. per 100 lbs,
brought about in large proportion by
cur tariff agitation, will sooner or
later give place to a parity difference
@, the 34c. to 44c. per 100 lbs mostly
covered by the differential.
"This appreciation in Cuban values
ci Sec. per 100 lbs may not all come
until late in the campaign II 1t be-
comes necessary for the U. S. to go
abroad for full-duty supplies at cost
Of the worlds prices.
SHOULD a reduced duty bill be pass
ed in the meantime, such recovery Of
nc. per h., which is in fact dis
counting of such a bill, need not be
looked for on the duty paid basis
Neither can it be expected that
any reduction that may be made in
duties will extend to the same extent
downward from soc per 100 lbs. parity
difference as the reduction made, as
is claimed by some parties.
"The only further averaging Of
prices of raw sugar to tariff reduction
would seem to be limited to such ia
iii reduction of more than 1zc. per-
h., so that the present quotation Of
25sc. c. & f. for 90 deg. test Centrifu-
gals appears to us to place sugar on
the basis of SOC. per 100 lbs. duty on
Cubas of 90 deg. test, or 1c. per Id.
duty on Foreign full-duty sugars of
90 deg. test, without further reduction
IN price when such bill passes.

Heavy stocks of unsold sugar held
by the refners is, according to VIII
lett & Grays, for May 2, responsible
for the present low figure which raws
are commanding. On the whole, how
ever, the review for the week in ques,
ton is not unfavorable for the future
Of the sugar growing interests; nor
does this authority believe that prices
are to be changed much from what
they are at present by any tariff leg
isIation likely to be enacted. In other
words, the possible effect of such leg
islation has already been discounted.
The review in full follows:
"The-vsynopsis of the sugar situa-
ton made by US last week might be
repeated this week with slight changes
only:
1. "The Cuba crop receipts for the
week were again large, $4,000 tons,
With only one central less working,
but showers are reported in two dis
tricts and a heavier rain in another
section. Matansas reports grinding in.
terfered with to some extent. This
moisture is of advantage at the mo-
ment, as the conditions, have recently
been abnormally dry and cattle have
suffered for water. If soon followed
by general rains, however, the grind
ing will be materially curtailed
2. 1.-THE European beet crop Is
again reported by F. o. LIGHT as fav-
orable for field work, but with rains
needed.
8. London advices indicate that
the future Of supplies is not yet solv-
ed and prices must be kept up to in
duce sugars to come to the U. X.
which otherwise would not come.
4. "Our tariff matters are await
ing report from the Senate Finance
Committee to the Senate and no new
light has come out during the week.
"Centrifugals have remained steady
and firm during most of the week at
25Sc. C. & f., 9.9S5c. per lb. duty paid,
It has been more easy to sell than to
buy at this basis during many days,
but both the Federal and the Ameri-
can have obtained considerable sup
plies of May shipments which, to.
gether with the abnormally large re-
ceipts Of the week, S2,758 tons, give
abundant supplies of raws, especially
when considered in connection with
the dull state of the refined sugar
trade
"It is conceded that the country is
very fully supplied with invisible OF
unsold stocks of both cane and bee
for second-half May"

BEGINNING OR END.

A lot of people in the world enjoy

majority Of those who live in Homo
lulu select Haleiwa as the best place
for a change of climate and environ
ments. The selection is a good one
and shows judgment but there is nc
reason for combining it to the week
end. There is just as good a climate
at the beginning of the week and the
water is Just as fine. The beach Is
free from coral always and the hotel
replete with all conveniences fol-
guests. A postoffce. telephone ant

MAUI OPINION
IS OVERRULED

At meeting of the harbor commits
sion this afternoon, letter was read
from Hugh Howell, conveying reso-
luton moved by him and adopted by
the Maui chamber of commerce, to
the effect that, in the opinion of the
chamber, the site for the proposed
new wharf at Kihei should be moved
half mile this side on the Wailuku
road.
Mccarthy moved, and it was car
ried, that no change be made, as
there was deeper water at the origi-
nal site, where the steamers of the
American-Hawaiian Steamship Com
pany could anchor.
1t was voted that Chairman Marston
Campbell reply to this effect to the
Maui chamber.
