They had fired almost in unison and Blum had winged one bird, which was fluttering In the water near him. Overjoyed at his prowess, be at tempted to re-load with fingers trembling with excitement, and in some way struck the trigger of the loaned barrel of his gun.

Richeson's Law yers Would Prevent Trial January 15. PRISONER IS STILL WEAK Attorneys Sax Half-Hour Consulta tion With Him Exhausted Min ister Following Collapse of Previous Da. BOSTON, Jan. 3. Attorneys for Rev. Clarence V. T. Rlcheson, awaiting trial on a charge of tha murder of Miss Avis Llnnell, said a half-hour consulta tion with the accused preacher In his cell at the Charles-street Jail exhaust ed the prisoner's strength. They are seeking a continuance of the trial, which Is set for January 15, and the prosecution is opposing the move, as serting that Rlcheson Is fast recover ing from his recent self-mutilation and that hla mentality Is unimpaired. Rlcheson collapsed during a confer ence yesterday with his attorneys, who questioned him as to his reasons for his self-mutilation. In view of yes terday's occurrence, the minister's legal advisers today made no attempt to ob tain from him a statement of his rea sons for the act. district Attorney Pelletler says there will be no compromise of the case be cause of the preacher's recent act. He says he has carefully investigated the reports that Rlcheson Is unsound men tally and is satisfied that he will be physically and mentally competent to stand trial upon the date set. District Attorney Talks. District Attorney Pelletler said: "The defendant is in good physical condition and is making marked dally Improvement. His mentality has not been impaired. There is no question but that he will be able to attend the trial January 15. It may be of Interest to know that for breakfast today he had two eggs and a pint of milk and for dinner a stew. He sat up in bed and seemed to be In the best of spirits. The stitches have been taken from his wound already. "1 had no conversation in regard to a compromise at my conference with Chief Justice Aiken. I feel It is due the commonwealth to make this flat and unequivocal statement and to settle baseless rumors regarding the outcome of the case and the condition of the defendant.' Attorney Morse, of counsel for Riche son. had a secret conference recently in Charles-street jail with Dr. Howard A. Lothrop, the attending physician, and Dr. George A. Sargent, the Jail physician. Lawyers for the defense may ask that a doctor representing them be allowed to see Rlcheson. This privi lege cannot be granted without an or der of the court. Drt-gglat Is Questioned. Eugene Levi tan, who until recently conducted a drug store in Cambridge, was at the office of District Attorney Pelletler today. Some time after the arrest of Rlcheson the druggist stated In an interview that he had sold cyan ide of potassium to a girl who, he thought, resembled Miss Linnell. It Is learned that the state deter mined to investigate the druggist's statements. Officers visited the store, it is said, and secured the prescription books. The officers found the name of a girl opposite the date stated by Lev itan. It Is said that the date the girl Is supposed to have made the purchase was on October 13, which was before the pastor's former sweetheart died. The name entered on the book waa not disclosed. Mr. Pelletler recently held a confer ence with Mrs. Edgar Llnnell and Mrs. William J. McLean, mother and sister of Avis Llnnell. He went over their testimony In preparation for the open ing of the trial. MONETARY REPORT READY Members or Commission Will Stake Final Consideration Today. WASHINGTON. Jan. S. The National Monetary Commission will tomorrow begin final consideration of Its report, which, according to a resolution of the Senate, must be submitted not later than next Tuesday. The text of the report probably will be agreed upon. The report will outline the legislation necessary to carry Into effect the Na tional Reserve Association plan. The final problem on which the com-' mission Is working Is how best to safe guard the association from control by any group or set of its members. Senate leaders declare there Is little chance of monetary legislation at this session of Congress. Chairman Aid rich, however, has announced that he will press for some action. WHAT WILL COLONEL DO? (Continued from First Page.) this will be done. But out of abun dance of precaution other steps will be taken to make certain those votes that are Instructed, and It is probable that methods similar to those employed by Hitchcock In 1908 will be tried again. But will the new manager, whoever he may be. succeed as well as did Hitchcock in 1908? Will not the cry for Roosevelt be louder and more per sistent this year than four years ago? Will there not be many uninstructed delegates In the convention ready to help along a Roosevelt stampede? A-nd also is it not likely that some of the delegates will be Instructed for Roose velt? These are the questions that politicians are asking one another; these are the questions that give rise to such frequent mention of the name of Roosevelt. Bard Flgkt la Prospect. It is the concensus of opinion that the Republican party is about to enter upon the hardest fight it has had since 18i2. Its prospects for success next November are poorer than they have been since Benjamin Harrison was re nominated. And this situation has caused many leaders to pause and ask If any candidate can run stronger than Taft La Follette cannot, for his boom is on its last legs. Cummins could ex pect to run no better than La Follette. The Beverldge boomlet is a joke, and there Is no other man on the horizon who can run stronger than Taft, unless It be Roosevelt. Would Roosevelt be a stronger candidate than Taft? Here again is one of the salient topics of current gossip. Unquestionably the developments of the next few months will go far to de termine the relative strength of Taft and Roosevelt. The Taft managers will be at work for Instructed Taft dele gates; admirers of Roosevelt will be at work, without the sanction of the ' REVISION INPJRICESi Our January sales give the same chance of economical hay ing in the boys' department as in our men's stock.

The voters in states having a Presi dential preference primary may have considerable to do with shaping up opinion, for it seems certain that Roosevelt's name will be placed on the ballots of some states along with the name of Taft and possibly that of La Follette, and It is too early to predict what the result of those primaries will be. If it should develop that some of those states should Instruct for La Fol lette. the situation would, for the time being, be even more complicated than at present. On the other hand, if the Roosevelt movement, that seems to be progress ing without any recognized leadership, should be quelled, the situation would be greatly clarified. But will the Roosevelt movement be checked? PINXHOT DENIES STATEMENT Ex-Forester Does Xbt Know What Koosevelt Intends to Do. BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Jan. 3.

BILLS LOOK LIKE MONET AXTE-BEIiliTJM ISSUES MAY BE HELD "COUNTERFEITS." Vagrants in San Francisco Jail Face Serious Charge if Judge's Decision Is Adverse. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 3. (Special.) Out at the city prison, where they are held on charges of vagrancy, four men arrested by the police last week are likely to be compelled to pass into the tire of Federal prosecution. The Federal authorities there are awaiting a decision from United States District Judge Donworth, of Seattle and Tacoma, Wash., and if he holds that the passing of old state bank bills to gether with the Intention of passing them as money constitutes counterfeit ing, Clyde Esterbrook, Edward A. Thornton. Wesley S. Riber and James Snider, the men in custody will be ar rested on Federal warrants charging them with that crime. The bills which the men are accused of trying to pass are old state bank bills of Georgia, issued long before the Civil War. On the printed side they closely resemble genuine currency au thorized by the ITrflted States Govern ment. They are blank on one side. The bills which, it is alleged, the four pris oners .were seen to throw away when arrested had been pasted together, hack to back, with silk threads between them. On the question whether In law the action of pasting the bills togetner tn this way constitutes a deliberate at tempt to "imitate currency or obliga tions of the United States." depends the fate of the four men in jail.
