Lexington, KY, Feb. 6.-That James
Whitcomb Riley the Indiana poet, has
been i'll since last summer the public
is aware, but the real seriousness of
his illness has not been known except
TO his close friends in Indianapolis.
John Wilson Townsend. the Ken
tucky historical writer. who was in
indianapolis the other day to deliver
an address before the annual meet
ing of the American Historical asso-
citation. saw Riley at his home on
Little Lockerbie street, and spent an
hour with him.
With two friends of Mr.. Riley's. one
of them schoolmate of the poet in
Greenfield, the other the daughter of
a famous Indiana jurist, Mr.. Towns
end called at the Lockerbie street
home some time in the afternoon of
December 20.
Friends Unknown at First.
The little party was shown into
the parlor. On sofa, with his eyes
staring out into vacancy. the veins of
his face flushed. and his hair almost
gone. lay the greatest poet Indiana
can claim. The older Of the two wo-
men told the poet her name and asked
him IL he remembered her. "Alice? ?
Alice? Alice?" he said. and then, fn-
ally: "Oh. yes, of course do. Sit
down"
On being introduced. Mr.. Townsend
told Riley he was the friend Of the
poets old friends. Madison Cawein.
the Kentucky poet. and James Lane
Allen. the novelist. Yes. yes" Riley
said, Its been a long time since
saw Cawein. He's a mighty good fel.
low"
For the next half hour Riley and
Alice" talked OF the old Greenfield
days. "Only once" Mr.. Townsend
said, did Riley's mind fash up. This
was when he asked. Well. anybody
dead or married out in Greenfield?'
Then he fell back into his short
questions and answers"
Pleased With Sargent Portrait.
Mr.. Townsend desired to discuss
many things with the poet. but Riley's
condition forbade 1t. He did, however
ask him about the much discussed
portrait that. John Singer Sargent
painted of him in 1908. and that hangs
today in the Heron Art Institute in
Indianapolis.
What do you think of Sargent s
portrait?" was Mr.. Townsend's ques-
ton.
We'll. all right-but l was much
younger then than now"
do you care for the sketch that
John Cecil Clay made Of you some
years ago for the Reader Magazine?''
"Clay's sketch? l never saw it;
should like to see It,"
Lying on his couch. his right side
toward his visitors and his right arm
hanging at his side, Riley reached
over with his left hand to say good.

San Francisco. Cal. Feb. 6.-The
case Of Abraham Ruef. the former po-
litical boss of San Francisco. who was
sentenced to fourteen years in the
pcnitentiary for bribery of a supervis

State supreme court. Rucf was con-
victcd two years ago after trial that
lasted nearly four months and which
was made sensational by the attempt
to assassinate Francis j. Hency. the
special prosecutor in the case Since
his conviction every twist and turn
known to the law has been employed
to save the former political boss from
prison. Recently he has been enjoying
his liberty under $a50.0oo bail The
main contention in support of the
present request for q new trial is that
the receiver of a bribe is an accom-.

testimony Is inadmissible Should this
contention be upheld by the supreme

COURT MADE RULING
IN RICHARDSON CASE

By sustaining a demurrer to the Sec
ond paragraph of the complaint in
the case of Mertie Richardson against
Benjamin Miles and wife to eject from
property and recover possession OF
the property, which consists of a
large and valuable farm in western
Wayne county. Judge Fox OF the cir
cult court on Monday changed the
position of the complainant from the
offensive to the defensive.
The Richardson woman is a daugh-
ter of. the defendants. The defen
dants were given a life estate in the
property by Mrs. Miles father and
upon their death the property was to
go to the complainant. This provis-
ion of the will seemed so conclusive to
the court that he decided in favor of
the Miles. Miles and his wife do not
live together it is understood and it is
also declared that the relations be-
tween father and daughter are not the
most intimate.
Counsel for the complainant may
amend the complaint and keep the
case in court. II is probable this will
be done. He filed exceptions 10 the
ruling OF Judge Fox.

BUSINESS CLUB IS
To HOLD BANQUET
An Excellent Program, Also
Menu, Arranged for the
Annual Event.

The first annual banquet of the
Young Mems Business club will be
held on Friday evening, February II,
at $50 o'clock in the banquet hall OF

of it's kind in the world.

cause he is famous as a witty after

Mr.. Mather, Willard Rupe and Will

ley Foullle as toast master for the
OCCASION. His qualifications are well
known. Those from this city who
will respond include r. G. Leeds, the
first president of the Young Mems
Business Club, Wilfred Jessup and a
representative of the Commercial
Club, whose name has not been given
out, and perhaps will not be made
known until Wednesday, he having
been unable to accept the invitation

demand his presence elsewhere on

the awning in front of the building
and then forcing their way through a
window. Thirteen dollars, two
watches, and several pocket knives
were secured.
Change amounting to about Sc was
