RILEY'S FIRST HIT.
Wrote Poem "by Poe" and PaIred
 it on the Public.

Wrote Poem "by Poe" and Palmed
 it on tho Public.
 James Whitcomb Riley began his ca. reer in newspaper office in Anderson, Ind. by writing humorous rhymes as advertising locals" - ''doggerer" he called them. At the same time he wrote many rhymes with the serious intention of having them. if possible, recognized as poems. But he could not get them published. Even compost tions whose worth he had tested-those that would please people when I'd stand up and read 'em to them"-would be returned promptly by every maga. zine to which he offered them for pub lieation. The Hoosier dialect was too Tow down" for the average magazine editor.
 Finally in freak of boyish indigna- tion. to prove that what editors really wanted was not originality. but imita- ton, he devised the scheme of writing poem in imitation of Poe and of palming it of on the public as a real poem of Poe's recently discovered. The scheme was very skillfully. planned and very deftly executed and success ful beyond anything the clever deviser of it had ever dreamed. From one end of the country to the other "Leonainie" was hailed as a veritable 'find." bit of genius most genuine ore. Riley had his revenge. He had some trouble, however. in proving that he was not an intentional forger.
 He lost his newspaper position. but he immediately got another and better one on the Indianapolis Journal Come and get pay for your work" said Judge the editor. The turn in the tide had come.

IN THE REICHSTAG.
Chancellor Excited When He Spoke
 of Recent Outrages.

Berlin, Jan 22.-Charcellor vo,
 Buelow refused categorically in the Reichstag to-day to reply to a socia: ist interpolation on the subject ol the Prussian suffrage. This pre- cipitated deafening uproar from the members during which all the ministers left the place. The debate was then continued before the mali empty benches.
 Trouble with the people had been expected, particularly in view of the street disorders of yesterday, and ill order to be prepared for a recur- renee of violent encounters between the police and the populace the buildings of parliament were cur rounded from early morning with a strong force of police armed with pistols and sabres. The principal thoroughfares of eBrlin are being patrolled constantly by police, both mounted and on foot.
 The interpolation was skillfully wOrded in order to bring it within the official authority of the reichstag. The question was framed thus:
 On what ground does the chancel- Tor consider manhood suffrage as al ready granted for the elections to the imperial parliament to be harmful to the interests of one of the federal states? There was doubt early to- day as to whether the chancellor would make a reply. or not It has been his custom to avoid discussing Prussian affairs in the reichstag, but some persons thought he might em- power Dr Bethmann-Hollweg, min ister of the interior to respond for him.
 Prince von Buelow opened the reiehstag proceedings with a severe warning against further manifesto tions which he declared did not af. feet the government in the slightest degree. He threatened amid ironical cheering from the socialists that the leaders and organizers of all Gemon- startions would be dealt with severe ly.
 The chancellor trembled with in- dignation when he referred to the terrorism which he declared had been introduced into the capital. He stis- matized the street demonstrations as dangerous to the country and he looked directly at the socialist mem- bers when he announced that the or ganizers would be held responsible. He was compelled to pause for sever- al minutes because of the outbreak of rounds of derisive laughter from the socialist benches.

THE THAW WILL
Was Bone of Contention in the Famous Trial Now on lis
 Second Round
JEROME'S OBJECTIONS

New York, Jan 22.-It was 10:2C o'clock when the trial of Harry K Thaw for the killing of Stanford White was resumed this morning, and Mir Littleton of the defense began at once the preliminaries of proving that Harry Thaw's will and codicil, eXe- cuted to Evelyn Nesbit in Pittsburg. Miss Frances Pierce, who witnessed the signatures and who testified at the last trial was called to the stand.
 Miss Pierce identified the papers, but District Attorney Jerome object ed to the introduction or the will in evidence until witnesses had come forward to prove it's custody from the time of signing up to the present mo- ment. MT Littleton declared this objection simply would delay matters, but he temporarily withdrew the offer of the will.
 Justice Bowling said the condition of the will, long rambling affair, was such as to make the proof of custody desirable. There are many changes and alterations in it. As to the codicil, Mir Jerome objected to its introduction on the ground that it was in the defendants own handwriting and was a self serving document. Justice Bowling said the codicil was compact document and was compe- tent as evidence. MT Littleton then read the cOdicil to the jury. The codicil, it will be remembered, pro- vided number of bequests to law yers and others to aid alleged victims of Stanford White to prosecute claims for damages against him and for the prosecution of all persons engaged 'in such unlawful practices as said Stan ford White" Among those to whom the funds were made available were k. Ross Perry of Washington; Dr Charles H. Parkhurst. and Anthony Comstock. Thaw named number of young women now on the stage as possible claimants against White.
 Anthony Comstock was the next witness. He told of Thaw coming to him in 1904 with complaints of the vicious practices of Stanford White and several of his friends. Thaw also wrote several times. A number of the letters were read. HEAD

HUGHES READY ID RUN
Will Accept Presidential Nomina-
 ton if Party Calls Him.
NOT SEEKING OFFICE, HE SAYS
In Letter Formally Acknowledging His Candidacy Governor Declares For an
 Honest Expression of Party Will. Has No Interest In Fractional Fight.

Albany, N. r., Jan. 22.-GOvernOr toward the movement in favor of his nomination for the presidency. He sent a letter to James $. Lehmaier of New York acknowledging notification of the resolution of indorsement re- gently passed by the Republican club and appointing Friday of next week for meeting with the club, at which, he intimates, he will still more defi- nitely declare himself
 In his letter the governor said:
 q am deeply sensible of the honor conferred upon me by my fellow mem- bers of the Republican club in the pas sage of the resolution to which you re- fer, and it will give me great pleasure to accept the invitation. In accepting it it is proper for me to restate my po- sition:
 Tt is my desire that the sentiment Of the party shall have the freest ex- pression and that such action shall be taken as will be for it's best interests
 "I do not seek office nor shall I at tempt to influence the selection or vote of any delegate. The state administra- tion must continue to be impartial and must not be tributary to any candi- dacy.
 'T have no interest in any factional controversy and desire above all things that there shall be deliberation, honest expression of the party will and har- mony of effort.
 "I cannot fail to recognize the great honor which the nomination would confer or the obligation of service which 1t would impose. Nor should I care to be thought lacking in appre- citation of the confidence and esteem which prompt the efforts of those who sincerely desire to bring 1t about. The matter is one for the party to decide, and whatever its decision l shall be content.
 II shall be glad to meet with the members of the club, as you suggest, and to make such further statements as may be appropriate. In view of the engagements already made I do not see how it will be possible to have such a meeting before the evening of Jan. 31. And if that date suits your convenience arrangements for the meeting may be made accordingly"
 Governor Hughes, it may be stated authoritatively, will not accept re- for his present office. This was given out at the capi- tai.
 Declarations officially from Repub- lican county organizations for Hughes and Taft respectively are expected during the first week in February. | The Republican convention of Fulton and Hamilton county will be held on | Feb. 1. Representative LAttauer. an old friend of Roosevelt. lives there. | The Hughes men, however, declare | that Littauer is now against the presi- dent and that the convention will de clare for Hughes.

NEW TEST FOR COPS
Chicago Officials Will Try 10 Find Out the Condition of
 P0licemen'S Arteries.

Chicago, Jan 22.-Policemen in Chicago are to be retired in the order Of the hardness of their arteries.
 Tt has been determined beyond dis pute that man is as old as his ar teries," said Health Commissioner Evans last night in explaining the plan on which the retiring board will work.
 While it is a universal rule that as q man grows older his arteries harden, yet the process of hardening does not move evenly with the years. It depends on the way he has lived.
 "The machine for testing the arter- ies is a hollow rubber band put around the biceps of the arms and connecting with q rubber tube which runs to a common pump bulb in the hand, by working the bulb the person being examined forces air into the band around the arm until it swells enough to stop the pulse. A mercury standard attached indicates how much pressure this takes.
