SLAYER'S PLEA
IS POSTPONED
Because of Attorney's Illness.
Richeson's Appearance Is De- '
layed Until To-Day.
Boston, .January S.?The Inability of:
William .V Mor.se, one of the attorneys
for itev, Clarence V. 'I-. rilchcson. to
appear in court to-day resulted in a
postponement until to-morrow of llirhe
?on's expected plea of guilty to the]
indictment ohurglng him with the
murder ot avIm Llnnell. Mr. Morse,
who has been under ti severe nervous:
strain because ol his activities in the!
Rlcheson ease, tound the events con?
nected with Hlohoson's confession too
much for his strength, and since Sat-I
unlay night had been 111. His condi?
tion wan greatly Improved to-night. I
and it was staled that lie would be
tiblc to attend court to-morrow to as-,
Hist In looking after the interests of
the defendant.
Between 12 and l o'clock to-morrow,I
according to present plans, Rlcheson
will make ferm.il acknowledgment In!
court of his crime. Murder in the first
degre.e is the offense charged and deathI
in the electric ehnlr Is the legal pen-!
ally.
It Ip generally expected that after
Rlcheson has been sentenced to death
Itll application will bo made to Govor-i
nor Foss and the executive Council fori
commutation of the sentence to life!
imprisonment, only the Governor und
council have .the power to grant sueli
commutation. Governor Foss intimat?
ed l?-day thnt should such a petition
be presented he will submit It to the
council for n hearing,
Two arguments In favor of executive
clemency have been prominently dis?
cussed. One Is that the prisoner by hie
confession has saved the State the ex?
pense of a ion.; trial nod has spared
the public and the family of the murd
' . red girl the publication of distasteful
<;et;,;is, which Inevitably would have
I ;i.impnnled Mich trial. The other pos.
Bible argument is the claim advanced
I by si.nie of Rlcheson's former friends
that he is Insane.

Senate In the report of the Senate
committee which visited Wisconsin
und made Investigation. A report in
the ca^e will be tiled within two week*.
The subcommittee that conducted
the investigation will meet Thursday.
Senator Heyburn. ol Idaho, the chair?
man, has already written a report,
which will be laid before his commit: |
tee eollrugucs at the meeting. Us-.
main features were generally con-j
cur rod in before Chairman Ucyburri I
set about the task of preparing It.
There may be a minority report by
Senator Potnorene, of Ohio (Democrat),'
but this will not be known until aftei
he has been permitted to rend Scnn- j
tor Heyburn's report: but even If al
minority reported Is submitted It will
hardly contend that any specific j
charge of corruption has been proved.
Senator Paynter. thr other Democrat
on the committee, will probably eon
cur lu the majority report.
The report will not held the aged
Senator's campaign methods up ai an
example, however. The tuet that lie
spent slightly more than ?10t?9" lo
gain popular nomination for a seat in
the Sonato will be disapproved as lend?
ing to corruption, liut the committee
lias been compelled to And, on the evi?
dence brought out, that none of the
money was used to corrupt any of the
currents of Wisconsin politics Tin'
expenditures were accounted for Oy?
the men who made them In Mr. Stcph-j
esun's interests. The money went for]
lithographs, newspaper advertising,!
traveling expenses of political agents
rent and expenses for political head-]
quarters.
Tho members of the- Senat'' commit-1
tee decided that H Is an expensive i
thing to finance a State-wide campaign.]
That Senntor Stephenson. who ts laid
to be worth at least (30.000.000, Bpcut i
more of It thnn was strictly necessary,I
is the. judgment of the committee
"The wurst thai has been proved j
against Senator Stephenson is that hi
was an easy mark." said a member ol
the committee. "Me. realized that his
political enemies?the La Follctte men
?were numerous and active!, and Mr.
Stephenson spared no expense for ad?
vertising or organizing when Iiis man?
agers teild him that It was necessary-.'
The .Senator's political enemies, who
made the- specific charges of corrup?
tion that inaeio tho Senate InveatlgH.- \
tlon necessary, failed, it ib said, to
prove their charges, and thee Will
probably come In for condemnation
front the Senate Investigators. Rv.cn
Senator Pome-tone, a Democratic mem?
ber, showed disappointment at the
weakness of th*. ease presented against'
Senator Stcphe-nson He is snid to have
expressed disgust that the politicians
who were so ready to make the charges
wi re so slow In produrlng proof to uus
taln them.
It has been reported that the Senate
committee wrm!<l call attention It: ;>:,

use of money in senatorial State-wide

Off for Business Efficiency Convention
1. G, Thyson
Leaves to Attend the Annual Meeting of The Hundred Point Club
at Dayton, Ohio
H. G. Thyson, Richmond, Va.
N. C.R. Hall of Iuduatrla! Education
This week the world's greatest business getters will dedicate to industrial educa?
tion, their magnificent, new club house at Dayton, Ohio.
These men are devoting their time to the stopping of commercial losses?to in?
creasing the profits of wholesale and retail businesses.
They have done more to banish dishonesty from trade and to remove the
temptation for dishonesty than all the reform societies on earth.
Because of their work, thousands of establishments, great and small, wholesale
and retail, manufacturing and distributing, have been conducted on a lower basis
of cost and have increased their revenues.
Through the efforts of the "Hundred Pointers" and their associates during the
past year, 146,224 merchants bought National Cash Registers?more than
i>?55?ooo are now in use.
Merchants and business men are learning that: (1) leaks cost money, (2) dis?
putes between employes, employer and customer are expensive, (3) tnat no
human being should do work which a machine can do better, (4) a man who
tries to keep his business in his head can't keep ahead in his business, (5) worry
shortens life.
They are learning that the National Cash Register solves all such problems.
The Hundred Pointers and foreign representatives will return to their respec?
tive territories in about ten days. The increased knowledge of up-to-date
business systems gained by each through contact with 206 other Hundred
Pointers, with Company officials and business experts from every quarter of
the globe?Great Britain, Continental Europe, Australia, South America and
Cuba, will be at vour disposal.
MR. THYSON
will tell you how you may derive benefit from this great convention.
N. G. R. Factory at Dayton, where a Cash Register U made
after considering it the committee
concluded thai it was beyond the
scope of their jurisdiction und u would
b? In bad tostc to seek to draw any
conclusions of that sort.
Members of tho committee have no
doubt that when the Senate has the
report It will promptly up/prove, it by
a large majority, although Senator l.'i
?Toilette may bo heard from In Ilm
debate. The committee that conduct?
ed the Investigation in Wisconsin waa
composed of the following Senators:
Heyfourn, of Idaho, chairman; Blither,
of Utah, and Oliver, of Pennsylvania,
Republicans; I'omerehe, of Ohio, and
PuyntCr, of Kentucky, Democrats.
