Declares He Is Innocent.
MAY TRY TO SHOW
THAT PASTOR RICHESON
is A MENTAL WRECK

Boston, Mass, Feb. l6.-There is no
doubt that insanity will be the plea on
which the counsel for Clarence " Il.
Richeson, who. Is now in the Charles
street Jail under sentence of death for
the murder of Avis Linnell, will at
tempt TO save his life.
II is quite probable alienists will be
called into the case TO examine the
minister, who is said TO be suffering
from a severe nervous strain In pris-
on. If II could be proved to the satis-
faction of the governor and the council
that Richeson was insane, he would be
sent TO an insane hospital instead OF
the electric chair.
When Attorney William A. Morse,
junior counsel for Richeson. conferred
with the governor in regard to petit
tion soon TO be presented. asking for
communication of the sentence. the gov
ernor did not appear favorably dispos-
ed. Sheriff quinn, who was present,
declared to the governor that Riche-
son was a mental wreck.
He doubted very much, he said, IL
the condemned minister's mind would
bear up and survive the terrible strain
under which II was laboring.
According to the latest reports re-
ceived from the prison and through
Attorney = Morse, Richeson's chief
trouble Is inability TO sleep. He is
pale and thin. II is said. and as the
light Is kept In his cell all the time
and the guards are changed every for
ty minutes, It is difficult for him to
rest.
while 7 cannot say Richeson is in
sane" said Mr.. Morse. "he Is In n
tough mental state. lie is pale and
thin, and for n sensitive and high
strung man Of his nature. the strain
under which he labors is likely to
prove too much for him. He Is tagged,
mentally and physically"
Mr. Morse branded as an absolute
falsehood" the statement that Cover
nor Foss had notified him he would
consider no petition for a commuta-
ton Of Richeson's sentence.

MICHIGAN PRESIDENTIAL
PRIMARY Law MAY BE
LIKE NEBRASKA STATUTE

Lansing. Mich. Feb. l6.-Considera.
bile speeulation is heard here regard.
ing the exact nature of the presiden
tial primary act that will be framed by
the Michigan legislature, in special ses-
sion, providing the legislature passes
such an act
There are several ways by which
such an act can be framed Informa-
tion is to the effect that the seven
states-Calfornia Nebraska, New Jer-
| sey. the Dakotas, oregon and Wscon-
sin-have practically the same prima-
ry law relative to the selection of a
presidential candidate. Just NSf9t the
Michigan law will be, If passed, Is not
known. but IL is safe to say the draft
of the proposed act viii be along sim
liar lines.
The vital principles are practically
the same; that is. the obtaining of
sentiment of the electors as TO the
nominees for president and vice-presi-
dent and the election of delegates
known to favor the choice of the cleo =
tor.
1t is thought here that Gov. Osborn
will recommend "a law whereby the
people will have the opportunity of
simply expressing preference for
their choice tor president and in con-
nection with this II ~ STAGED in Ian
sing ON good authority that the Ne
braska law viii be the one recon-
mended by the governor in his mes
sage to the legislature. This law, sim
Pile in Its construction. would cover the
ground.
The dates on which the primaries
will be held this year are:
North Dakota, March 10: Wiscon-
sin. April 10. Nebraska. April II; ore
gon. April Il; New Jersey. May 90.
1t is understood here that in his
message to the legislature for the spe-
cial session. Governor Osborn will not
include anything pertaining TO the re e
districting of the state to allow for
another congressman. II is generally
taken for granted here that con-
gressman at large will be chosen and
so far =. III. Kelley is the only one who
has been favorably mentioned for the
position.
The executive office was beseiged
late Monday afternoon with messages
from several sections of the state,
which conveyed to Governor Osborn
congratulations on the fact that he
had called the legislature In special
session. A large number of these calls
came from Detroit.
Horatio S. Earle, former state high
way commissioner and an advocate Of
a presidential primary, has written
Governor Osborn the following letter,
which was received at the executive
office after the call for a special ses-
sion had been issued.
II believe the shareholders In the
corporation named Michigan have a
right to say how that corporation shall
be run.
/ II also believe that not less than
as per cent of those shareholders are
i'm favor OF the privilege Of casting
their votes directly for delegates 10 go
to the national convention TO nominate
president and vice president, TO pre-
side over the affairs OF the corpora
ton named United states OF America.
Il believe this same as per cent are
opposed to the plan of electing dele
gates to u county convention to elect
other delegates to a state convention
for they know that every convention
step under this plan is a step away
from the people and their will"

STORES TO CLOSE
 NIGHTS FOR FAIR EXHIBITS ARE COMING IN MORE STALLS REQUIRED FOR RACE STOCK-FINE AMUSE
 MENTS BOOKED.

Adopting the suggestion of Treas. urer G. W. A. Wilson of the fair as. soclation, every mercantile house in Conway with the exception of the drug stores today signed an agree. ment to close their stores promptly at 2 o'clock each evening during the far, in order that the employees might attend the fair at least al night. Those signing the agreement were A. E. Livingston, Conway Pro. duce Co.,, Piercey & Sons, T. R. i Douglass & Sons, Cole & Co.,, Grum. mer Hardware Co.,, Frauenthal X Schwarz, Menty X Dollahite, w. M Harrell X Co.,, c. H. Robinette, o, D. Clibourn, Bolls Bros, N. c. Martin X Son, Cecil Steele, Wilson Bros, B. T :. Deal, Wilkins X Walthal, J. A. Pence Son, Sam Sarason, Norwood, Camp X Co, J. J. Livingston, E. W. Rog- CTS, D. C. Harton, g C. Smith. W. A. Gibbon, Sam Heiligers. Owen Music Co.,, s. E. Anderson, Craig & Stubbs.
 This action of the merchants, taken for the first time since the fair has been organized, is only one of many indications of a greatly increased in- terest and prospective attendance at the fair. Manager King said today hundreds of entries had already been made and prospects are every depart ment will be more than doubled in number and variety of exhibits.
 On account of the great increase in the number of race horses entering, the management has been forced to build about 20 new stalls, and there will be at least 50 thoroughbred racers seen on the track during the fair. The track has been put in splendid condition and some unusual ly fast events are anticipated.
 The amusement features at this fair will be far ahead of anything at any previous fair, according to Man ager King. Some of the finest travel ing shows ever appearing in the state have been booked, and there will be a noticeable absence of cheap, inferior attractions, such as have sometimes appeared in the past The riding de vices will include, in addition to the numerous swings, merrygorounds. etc, $15,000 ferris wheel
 The sale of season tickets will be continued for only one more day. Tickets are going fast, and those who desire to take advantage of the re- duced prices should be sure to pur- chase them tomorrow

SAYS AMENDMENT CAN'T BE DODCFD 6O-DAY SESSION CERTAIN INORWOOD DECLARES LEGISLA- TURF CANNOT THWART
 NEW LAW.

l Little Rock, Oct. 4.-Attorney-G Gen eral Norwood, author of the 60-day amendment, thinks that nothing will come of any effort to declare the measure not adopted.
 "l have heard rumors that one or two parties have said they would find some way to keep amendment No. 13 from becoming effective" said Gener- al Norwood, but l did not know up- on what ground it would be attempted until l read that an effort would be made to have the speaker refuse to declare it adopted on the ground that it had not been properly advertised.
 "The law prescribes the duties of the speaker in this connection is man datory and his duties are merely min isterial. The law provides that the returns upon the amendments shall be opened and counted in the presence of the general assembly in joint ses- sion, and if it shall appear that ma jority of the electors voting at such election adopted such amendment, then the speaker shall declare such proposed amendment duly adopted by the people. He has no power to go behind the returns.
 But even if the general assembly had authority to go behind the re- turns and consider the manner in which it had been advertised, they would find it regular. Amendment No. 10 specifically directed the legis- lature to pass an act providing for the manner of submitting measures and amendments and pursuant to this constitutional authority the enabling act was passed, and amendment No. 13 was published as required by the act
 "I hardly think that any attempt will be made to thwart the will of more than 100000 electors of the state, but if an effort of that sort should be made, nothing would be ac- comphshed, because our supreme court has held that the question of whether an amendment is adopted may be determined judicially. There fore the mere formal declaration of the speaker upon the question is by no means final
