tanning character as to make the two pro-
grammes brilliant even beyond expecta-
ton.
Mr.. Riley is preparing his selections with
more than the usual care, and 1t is quite
safe to predict that he has never been in
better form than he will be next Friday
night when, for the first time in a number
of years, he faces an Indianapolis audi
ence to recite some of the poems that have
reached the hearts of millions of people.
Mr.. Riley's drawing power in this and other
cities is so well known that it is a source
of wonder to many persons that he does
not devote three or four months of each
year TO platform work, but he does not like
it so the financial returns do not tempt
him.
George AIDES number on Saturday nights
programme will arouse unusual interest.
There is much curiosity to see him and
more TO hear those famous fables from the
lips of the man who wrote them.
Meredith Nicholson, who is on Saturday
nights programme. is a native of Indianap-
oils. He attended the public schools here,
and began writing when q boy. He was
a reporter on the Indianapolis News. stu
died law in the office of The late William
Wallace. but spent most of his time while
there writing verse. He left his studies
incompleted and returned TO the News,
where he occupied many desks. He rose
he filed with distinction.
Mr.. Nicholson married several years ago.
A short time after his marriage he felt
called TO the career OF a business man and
moved 10 Denver, assuming charge of large
mining interests. The itch TO write re-
turned, however, and he gave up his work
there and returned to the city he loves so
well to resume the burdens of authorship.
a number of years ago Mr.. Nicholson
published little books Of poems. and last
year there appeared from his pen a volume
\ Of
the people of his native State and the con-
ditiOns under which they developed. Mr..
Nicholson has been contributor TO the
high-caSs Eastern magazines and news
papers. He Is conducting a column each
week in the Indianapolis News under the
caption Watching the World Go By"
Mr. Nicholson thought al one time that
possibly there was some place better than
Indiana, but after a few months in Colo
RADIO ne decided that he would rather be
back with the home folks. So he moved
his household gods. burned his bridges be-
hind him and has taken a permanent place

He Talks of His school for American
Boys in Strassburg.

David K. Goss, former superintendent of
the Indianapolis public schools, and now at
the head of the American College in Strass-
burg, is in the city. He arrived from the

in fine shape. He came on in the interests
of his school, and expects to return in about

Switzerland's borders. Mr.. Goss has in the
school at the present time twelve Indiana

Three of these boys will return this summer
to enter American universities. One of the
three is Arthur Vonnegut, son of Frank
lin Vonnegut, of this city. Another is John
Diven. a son of Judge Diven. of Anderson.
Charles l.. Henry, of Anderson.
Mr.. Goss says these boys will enter Amer
lean colleges practically in the sophomore
year. with the study of modern languages
out of the way. On his way to indianapolis
from New York city Mr.. Goss stopped at
Rochester to deliver a lecture, and will re-
turn there to deliver the Baccalaureate
sermon for the public schools of that city.
He established the American college in
Strassburg two years ago, after giving up
the superintendency of the schools here.

BIT OF POLITICAL HISTORY.
How Charles s. HernIy Became Chair
man of State Committee.


DIT. Thompson, the man who perhaps
had more TO do with making Charles S.
Hernly chairman of the Republican State
committee, than any one else, was at the
Hotel English yesterday. DR.. Thompson
lives at New Castle. Four years ago when
1t came time to reorganize the State COM
mittee, the district meeting for the Sixth
district was held at Cambridge City. A
few days before the meeting DR.. Thomp-
son remarked to one or two New Castle
men that since it seemed that the district
was in sort of squabble over the selection
of a committeeman, he had a man 10 pro-
pose in the event they could not agree on
those that were being talked OF. Asked
who the man was the doctor replied that
convention at Cambridge City DR.. Thomp
son persuaded Hernly TO go over to Cam
bridge City and look the situation over.
Hernly had no thought of being a member
of the committee up to that time. He
went TO Cambridge City. however, and the
next day when the New Castle delegation
arrived, he said to DR.. Thompson, Henry
county must not present candidate In
this thing" He explained to the doctor
why he thought it would not be fair for
Henry county to demand recognition at
this time. We'll" replied the doctor, IF
we can't make you district chairman we
will get the convention 10 indorse you for
State chairman and you can get in the
race" Hernly Strengthened back on his
cane and with establishment written all
over his face, remarked. THE HI you
will" DR.. Thompson would not listen to
mo- from Hernly, but began laying his
lines at once. The result was that the
convention selected another man for dis
trict chairman and Endorsed Hernly for
State chairman and he was elected TO this
place at the meeting of the State COM

IDEAL DAY AT THE PARKS
SUNDAY EXCURsIONIsTS ENJOYED
THE FINE WEATHER.
Indianapolis Appeared in n Pretty
Spring Garment for the Inspec-
ton of All.

Yesterday was an ideal day for the ex-
cursionists TO Indianapolis. Those from
other cities who came TO spend the day with
relatives and friends or merely journeyed
TO Indianapolis with a Sunday excursion
fad were favored with cool and pleasant
weather. 1t was not one of the hot, swelt-
ering days that Sunday excursionists are
generally forced to endure. The young
chaps" from towns on the main line" who
have been coming to Indianapolis on Sun
day excursions since the fad was first in
augurated were not forced from a matter of
custom to wander aimessly about town
with cambria handkerchiefs tucked about
their necks. Collars did not wilt, shoes did
not sink in asphalt streets. visitors did
not grow weary from heat and exhaustion
it was a day of real pleasure for the
sightseers.
The rains Of the past few days made In
dianapolis appear in its prettiest spring
garment, and those who came to the city
could not help from admitting 1t was mo
mean city" The heavy downpour Satur-
day night, in addition to the thunder
showers of the latter part of the week.
cleansed the streets, gave rich color 10
grass and foliage and brought cooling
breezes People throughout the State and in
nelSnDOrlng cities evidently received WIRE
less messages that of all days to come to
Indianapolis during the summer yesterday
was the ideal one. They came on all eX-
cursions. and station officials said the
largest Sunday crowds of the present sea-
son and for years past at this time OF the
year were here yesterday. The l.. Il. &
w. road brought special trains from Peoria,
Sandusky, Fort Wayne and Michigan City.
The Big Four had excursion to Indian
apolis, the c., II. & D. one from Cincin-
natl and the Pennsylvania from Xenia and
Dayton. o., Madison and Louisville. All
the trains were we'll crowded and part OF
them were run in double sections. 1t was
estimated that about seven thousand eX-
cursionists paid Indianapolis visit yes
terday.
Indianapolis people also thought the
weather suitable for trips out of town, and
it is estimated the outgoing excursions
pie. The excursions from Indianapolis were:
Big Four, TO Lafayette, Terre Haute and
Cincinnati; Monon, to Michigan City; l.,
d. & W., to Decatur, Ill, and the c., H.
& D., to Dayton.
While ii was cool enough for Indianapolis
people to remain at home and for excur-
sionists to spend the day on the streets
done many times before, the band concerts
at many of the parks attracted thousands
Of people, Cars to FairView were crowded
early, and by o'clock several thousand
people were at that park and still going.
The regular Sunday concert at Broad Rip

the season. Concerts also held at

parks were crowded There con-

PRISON INVESTIGATION.
ID. A. Coulter, Former Member of the
Board. Gives His Opinion.

II do not care to anticipate the report
of the Board of Charities on the State
prison investigation" said d. A. Coulter
yesterday but from my personal know
ledge of affairs at the prison and the mat
tiers brought out during the investigation,
I can see but one finding that the board
can make, and that is 10 exonerate the
deputy warden and in fact all OF the prison
officials" Mr.. Coulter was formerly
member of the Board of Control Of the
prison and has considerable knowledge of
what goes on there. I'm an institution of
that magnitude" he continued, land the
class of people the deputy warden has to
come in contact with and manage IL is
but natural that little things come up that
one not familiar with prison affairs might
not indorse, but in a general way / con-
slider the officers of the prison capable,
efficient and thoroughly imbued with their
duties i'm connection with the work / feel
that they have only the interests of the
inmates and the State at heart and will
give their very best and most loyal eff
forts TO the State"

A ROMANTIC COURTSHIP.
Begun Over the Telephone, 1t Has
Ended Happily in Marriage.

Cupid is credited with using many I'M
usual methods in bringing young people to-
gether, and one of these-the telephone
played an interesting part in a courtship
that resulted in the marriage, Saturday
morning, of Clark Prather and Miss Daisy
Ballard at the home of Mrs. Rebmann,
Ills English avenue. Mr.. Prather is day
superintendent of the boosting station
of the street-railroad company at the cor
ner of st. Clair street and the canal. Miss
Ballard was until her marriage a night
operator at the exchange of the Central
Union Telephone Company. The acquaint-
ance of the young people began several
months ago in regulation romantic, novel
fashion, the young woman's voice over the
phone proving uncommonly attractive to
the listener at the other end. An intro
duction was brought about after the man.
ner laid down by Mrs. Grundy, and from
thence on the course of love ran smoothly
for the young people. Last Saturday
morning they made up their minds to get
married and the license was procured and
the ceremony was performed without the
parents of either being notified. The neces-
sity Of securing parental consent was OBJ
waited in the case of each by only a very
narrow margin Mr.. Prather being but a
few days past his majority and Miss Bal
lard only a trifle more than eighteen years
of age.

TOUGHS ON A STREET CAR
REFUSED TO PAY THEIR FARES AND
ALMOST STARTED RIOT.
The Conductor, MotOrman and a Pas
senger Injured in a ROugh-and-
Tumble Fight.

Harry Hackleman, sos Birch avenue, and
Thomas McNerney, 11S2 Kentucky avenue,
were arrested yesterday by Patrolman
Larsh on charges of assault and battery
and melting a riot. 1t was said by Patrol
man Larsh that the two boys, with num-
Der of others, left Phoenix Hall, Morris
and Meridian streets early yesterday
morning, greatly under the influence of
liquor. When they boarded South Merid-
ian-street car for the downtown district
they refused to give the conductor any
fares. The latter tried to persuade them
to leave the car. but they would not move
The argument continued until the car
reached Illinois and Washington streets,
where the boys got off and waited for a
West Indianapolis car, as all live over the
river.
On this car they again refused to pay
fares, it is said, and would not leave when
told to do so by the conductor. When
the car reached the Vincennes Railroad
tracks on Kentucky avenue several passen-
gers complained about the disturbances
made by the young men. One of the pas
sengers, Robert LOwstetter, turned and
said: You guys look awful cheap; if you
haven't any money We'll take up a col
lection for YOU" This seemed to be what
the boys wanted, as 1t gave them a chance
to start fight. One of the crowd jumped
on Lowstetter and brutally beat him about
the head and face. The conductor rushed
to assist the passengers but the boys threw
him from the car. George Swanson, the
motorman, came inside the car and tried to
help the conductor, when the touGhs
turned their attention to him, knocking
him through the front door and upsetting
the stove. They kicked and beat him, in
juring him internally. When the car
reached the bridge over White river at
Kentucky avenue the boys left the car
and disappeared in the darkness.
