Officer—Only One Case at
Belton Reported So inr
Headers of the Tslegram will note
the statement from I)r. A. 13. Craln.
health officer of Bell County, and l>r.
K. W Noble, health officer of the
city of Temple, with, reference to the
meningitis situation.
Both of these official*, In speaking
to g Telegram representative ,with
reference to their statements and of
the steps that have been taken to
prevent a spread of the disease here,
were anxious that all readers tak^
note of the preventive remedies rec-
ommended and use them as request-
ed. •
Numerous inquiries were received
at the Oa!ly Telegram office by
phone last night regarding the situa-
tion In Temple. Many were asking
If the schools were to be closed to-
day. Jt will be seen from the state-
ment referred to in today's paper
that the schools are closed by the or-
der of the health officer. This Is
true also of the picture shows, the
churches. Sunday schools and all
other places of public gatherings. All
these are to remain cloaed until fur-
ther notice.
Dr. Noble said last night that many
lied wanted the citf quarantined
asainpt Dallas, Waco and cities where
the disease is most prevalent. He
beiievee this to be impracticable. The
disease now exists at so many places
that it would be futile to try to keep
free from persons exposed to It by
quarantining against any particular
place or places. As Dr. Noble said,
the only way to accomplish that
would be to throw a cordon around
the town and admit no one from the
outside werld. and the situation does
not warrant such an action.
A* to the danger from contact with
persons Ipom infected territory, the
Dooeor expressed It aa his belie/ that
the disease
A report
evening that a caae of meningitis had
developed at a residence on North
Seventh street. Dr. Noble said later
In the evening that he had been to
the house and that there was no one
sick there Two or three days be-
fore the gentleman living there, Mr.
Whitaker, had had la grippe and
It waa believed that that and the
further fact that a few days before
there had been a case of diphtheria In
the same section of the city had given
rtse to the report. In the event that
any esses develop In Temple both Dr.
Noble aa health officer %nd Mr. Ham-
Ill aa mayor declare it "to be their pur-
pose to make full', and accurate re-
porta of the same, and such reports
will be fully published. The state-
ment that there is not a caae of men-
niglUs In Temple la made on the most
(ireful Investigation and the best in-
formation obtainable by these offi-
cials.
At Belton the patient reported as
stricken with the disease is S. E.
Wellhausen, about 37 or 38 years of
age. His ooaditlon was reported last
night aa very serious; he was stricken
only yesterday morning and hid
worked all day on the previous day.
Dr. Craln stated that a strict uuaran-
tine of the case was being oflserved
and er«ry precaution possible being
taken to prevent a apread of the dis-
rd4^yh'c^^o^ '

In communication with Waco with
reference to a aupply of the serum

waa expected to be received this
morning, and that Temple waa prom-
ised a portion of the Bupply.
There was a great demand yester-
day In Temple for the urotropin and
the antiseptics recommended aa pre-
ventive remedies. Especially yester-
day afternoon the drug stores were
thronged with those purchasing the
medlcinea. As It appears there Is no
undue alarm on the part of the peo-
ple generally, but all are beginning to
realise the Importance of putting
their premises in sanitary condition
and of using the germ destroying
remedies to escape the malady.

Deneen about
the senatorial election, and his test!
mony brought out the breach between
Deneen and former Senator Hopkins,

having been responsible for any pos-
sible Intrigue which resulted in the
defeat of Hopkins. Lorimer declared
Deneen frequently suggested that he
become a candidate. Lorimer will be

Hard Work Confines names to the
Ruined Structure, Which Was
Long a Landmark—Several
Have Narrow Escapes.
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—The immense
marble and granite Equitable Life
Assurance society building covering
a block In lower Broadway, a histori-
cal landmark, waa destroyed by a
spectacular fire today, with a loss of
six Uvea and probably $6,000,000 of
property., A dozen persons were in*
Jured; valuable records, Including the
biography of E. H. Harriman and two
priceless libraries which can not be
replaced, went up in flames, and the
fate of hundreds of millions of dol-
lars In securities stored In safety de-
posit vaults tonight is in questionable
doubt, though It is believed that fire-
proof construction saved them.
Three men lost their lives by leap-
ing from the roof, and the property
loss la estimated at over $6,000,000.
Millions of dollars in cash and se-
curities are locked in the vaults of the
Assurance society and the banking
and trust companies, but are not af-
fected by the flames, it is believed.
Fire Chief Walsh was buried when
a wall collapsed. His body has not
yet been found.
W. M. Giblin, president of the Mer-
cantile Safe Deposit company, was
Imprisoned with three other employes
In the vaults and was rescued after
the firemen had sawed through seve-
ral two-inch steel bars. One man is
believed to have lost his life in the
vaults.
Business Stopped.
The fire was in the center of the fi-
nancial district and the flames were
fought mainly from the tops of ad-
joining skyscrapers. Business was
brought to a standstill. Financial
firms stopped business to care for the
firemen.
Most of the records of the Equita^
ble Life Assurance society were kept
in the branch offices of the society in
the Haxen building, several blocks
from the main office.
Alarms Given at 6 a. m.
Four alarms were rung in at 6
o'clock this morning. The fire had
already gained a tremendous head-
way.
The Are was in the eighth, ninth
and tenth stories of the structure be-
fore lines of hose sufficient to reach
up the long flights of stairs were
coupled together.
The building is one of the old type
structures and Its construction of-
fered no serious obstacles to the
spread of the flames.
Within two hours after the fire
broke out—at 6: SO—flames had en-
twined the entire building. Firemen
working from atop neafby skyscrap-
ers and from the slippery streets
fought desperately to stay the prog-
ress of the blaze toward dther build-
ings that make up the heart of the
financial district. The Equitable was
the block between Pine and Cedar
streets on Broadway and between
Broadway and Nassau.
Three Watchmen Caught.
Three watchmen had remained
within the burning building hurling
chemical waters at the flames. The>*
did not heed the spread of the fire
below them and were trapped. Fire-
bm watolled their struggle. The
men came to Jk, inclusion that there
was no hop# tor them.) They knelt
to pray and itl the midst of their sup-
plication the coiner at the structure
where they bad taken refuge col-
lapsed. They fell to the street. The
three watchman were carried to a
hospital, probably fatally hurt.
In the vau{S of the Mercantile
Safe Deposit umipany at Cedar and
Broadway, *.Jmars wiw found Im-
prisoned. His legs and back were
pinioned by debrU He could be seen
from the street.
"Oh, can't you save me!" he cried
out to a throne of firemen.
Father McGean. the fire department
chaplain, moved by the man's cry of
misery, sprang to give him comfort
of the church. The father nearly
gave up his life in thf attempt. As
he knelt by the prisoner's side the
walls above toppled.
Firemen sprang to the priest and
dragged him to he street. An In-
stant later tens of brick fell where
the priest had knelt. The cries of
the Imprisoned man were heard after
the bricks fell.
The prisoner was William Gilblan,
president of the Mercantile Safe De-
posit company. It was several hours
before he was rescued, badly hurt.

BOSTON. Jan. Clarence V. T.
Rlcheson, formerly pastor of the Ira-
mauuel Baptist church of Cambridge,
bowed his head In the superior court
today and confessed that he mur-
dered Avis Linnell, the music student.
Immediately he was sentenced to
electrocution during the week of May
19.
Richeson's formal pleading to tlM
first degree murder charge followed
his written confession of guilt, given
out last Saturday, by which he ac-
knowledged he sent cyanide of po-
tassium to the pretty music student
in the guise of a drug designed to re-
lieve her of an embarrassiag physical
condition. *
The sentencs of Rlcheson put* his
case up to the governor and executive
council, who might alter Rlcfcesoa'a
fate to life imprisonment.
Richeson's original plea on arraign*
ment wasWnot guilty."
RichesorNmade no statement. He
was in cout%f&r only about six min-
utes. His face was pale, but he waa
perfectly composed. He answered
formal questions In the simplest pas-
sible way and when aaked If he had
anything to say, replied: "I have
nothing further to aay than my writ-
ten confession."
Richeson heard the death sentence
with little display of emotion.
District Attorney Pelletier read the
minister's written confession and add-
ed that the government had suffi-
cient evidence to have convinced a
jury that Ricfeeaon waa guilty of n5urJ<
der In the first degree. He then said
that it became his solemn duty to
move for sentence. Judge Sanderson
read the statutes bearing oa tke oaae
and aaked the prisoner If he realised
the grtrvtty of nls action In pleading
guilty. If he had consulted counael
and If he had acted voluntarily. To
each question Rlcheson said "Yes,,
sir."
The court gave the priaoner every
opportunity to reallae what his action
meant and to make any statement,
but Rlcheson expressed no dealre to
make any further explanation. The
court then pronounced sentence.
Rlcheeon immediately was returned
to jail.
Richeson's counsel declared after
the proceedings that an appeal for
exe<yitlve vlemency would follow.
Upon what grounds the petition will
be base<^ Is not stated. R Is poaslble
that the eupreme court will be ap-
pealed ta also, because a jury was
not summoned to hear Richeson's'
plsa.
