ANNUAL CONFIRMATION
 WEDNESDAY MORNING
SIX JEWISH CHILDREN WILL AS. SI'ME THE OBLIGATION OF
 THEIR FAITH
It Will Ge First Service Oi Its Kind Since 1909 In the Local
 Temple.

The annual confirmation services of Congregation Anshe Emeth will take place at the Temple Wednesday morn ing at 10 c 'clsck. Six confirmants four gins and two boys, will take up- on themselves the obligations of the Jewish faith. No confirmation in the local ccngregati2n has been held since 1909, owing to thla raising ot the age limi'..
 The services will be conducted by Rabbi Ephraim Fwisch and they are planned to be particularly impressive Extra, music has been arranged for the occasion. Thf2 conflmants are t., be Misses Fannie Marx, daughter Of Mir. and Ms. Henry Marx; Lucille Eilbot;, daughter of MT. and Mrs. E. Eilbott; Helene Eisenkramer, daugh ter of MT. and Mrs. M. Eisenkramer, and Annie Lucille Rosenberg, daugh- 'er of Mw. and Mrs. s. A. Rosenberg; Arden Smith. son of Mrs. Lena Smith and Charlie Re'nberger, son of MT and Mrs. Irving Reinberger.
 Unlike the custom prevailing in mcst of the Jewish congregation, ;, the confirmation service as evovled by Rabbi F'risch, centers around q unified theme. This year Dr. Fr:sch has taken fer his central thought, "The Renewal of The Covenant or ,Seuai," and ,he six pieces assigned to the ccmfirmants will all revolve aro,,nd this there. The confirnants will. so to speak, go over in sym holic manner the s,toly of the accep- tance of the Law by their ancestors and the subsequent chapters in Jew ish history.
 Among the most impressive de- tails in the confirmation service are the flora! offering and the RaDbis h,essing. The, floral offering recalls ,the bringing of the first fruits Of the harvest as a gif% to the ancient Tenn n]e in the Holy City. The modern substitution for this, as presented Ill tbe confirmation service, is the pre- sentation of the first fruits CT adoles- cence 70 God, symbolized by flowers This, wear rings of white sweet peas wi,, he used to indicate the perfe of the VOWS. The rings Will De n,aced on the Scroll of the Law, the s;oo of Israel's mission, and will be dedicated to SIX sources of inspiration in Jewish religious life.

Boston, May 1S.-IIis nerves shat tered, his body weakened by long ab- stnenee from food and all hope of life gone, the Rev. Glarence V. T. kicheson, slayer of Avis I.innell, to- cay begged that his mental agony be aot prolonged and that he be put to q 'ath early Monday morning. He de- olared ferventIy that the suspense was worse than the payment of the death penalty would Ee and that he wished to be taken to the electric chair as soon as possible.
 It is believed here that Warden Bridges intended to postpone until between midnight and 1 o'clock Tues day morning, so the arrangement would not have to be completed on Sunday and whether Richeson's plea for early death will be granted de- bends solely on the warden Riche- son realizes that all hope is gone. With the aid Of friendly clcrgymen he is trying in his last moment to make peace with his Maker. The hour of death and the fear of the death chair have driven Richeson al- most crazy His appetite has failed and he has been sleeping very little

AAV|S AND WADE
 ELECTED DELEGATES Sixth District Republicans Send Uninstructed Dele
 gation to Convention.
REMMEL DISPLEASED
Wranslins characterized Convention Held in This City Yesterday
 Johnson Chairman.

An uninstructed delegation, the leaving of the selection of a nomi- nee for the congressional race to the executive committee and the election of two negroes as dele gates to the national Republican con- Ventlon are the interesting features of the business transacted by the Sixth District Republican congress sional convention, which was held in this city yesterday afternoon.
 The whole session was marked by much wransling which began from the time d committee was appointed on temporary organization made it's report, offering the name of Fred E. Johnson, of Hot Springs, a postmas- ter and avowed administration man. as chairman. Ferd Hayis the local Republican leader took occasion to remark that the word had been sent down the line to use steam roller tac- tics and carry the convention for Taft, and later endeavors on the part of Johnson and his colleagues, proved that the Jefferson county man was right. A. A. Tindal, of Arkansas county, was nominated for chairman, but Johnson won by vote of 2S to 9. O. M. Spellman was elected tenn porary secretary without opposition. and, these two officers were later made permanent officials by recommenda- tion of the committee on permanent organization.
 Chairman Johnson, in naming the nominations, neglected to name Jefferson county man, and again the old war horse, Havis, rose to remark that he thought it strange that the largest county ill the district should be represented on this committee but his opinion availed him nothing.
 The resolutions committee report ed resolution condemning the grandfather clause in bill which passed by the Arkansas legislature, and recomemnded that the convention delegates be instructed for Taft.
 As the secretary of the committee read the last recommendation several protestants jumped to their feet sim ultaneously. Delegate H. Thane, of Desha county, had a substitute motion ready which carried the name of Theodore Roosevelt in place of Taft. Col. E. H. Vance, of Malvern, obtain ed recognition amid the bowling and made an earnest plea for unity and peace, offering motion that the dele gation be uninstructed The Arkan- sas vote, he said, would not he of suf- ficient power to swerve the nomina- tion either way and it was better to permit the delegates to go free hand ed to the national convention and fall in line with the delegations from the larger states which would be fac tor in the nomination.
 The uninstructed spirit seemed to prevail, though Chairman Johnson and others of the machine endeavored to have the substitute voted down, it carried, with much applause.
 The fight for delegates was again sharply drawn between Taft and anti Taft adherents. Charles c. Duke, of Monticello an avowed Taft man was nominated first. One of the white delegates attempted to put the nom-
