POET RILEY, IL, HELPLESS
ARMS USELESS, BUT HE IS G.c
 HATING TO COMPLETE BOOK.
School Children Send Stricken Poet a Box of Roses-He Is Suffering
 Suffering From Paralysis.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 14.--James Whitcomb Riley the celebrated Hoos- fer poet, is very low and has lost the use of his hands. He is but shadow of himself. Illness has confined him to his bed for months.
 Practically no one except the i'm mediate family has been permitted to see Riley for fortnight. By special permission, however, Miss Clara Farr, a school teacher, was permitted as an envoy from a class of school children to speak with the famous poet. The children sent him a huge box of beau. tiful roses.
 Miss Farr said that Riley told her that probably he would never speak in public again, and that now, as he had lost complete use of his hands, he was forced 10 dictate his poems. In spite of the paralysis, Riley is determined to complete the last edition of his works in order that it may be published this spring.

 Armament.

Washington, April 14.-Initial steps to bring about peace in Mexico, SUD- plementing various informal advances that have been made to that end, have been taken here.
 Dr. Vasquez Gomez, head of the con- fidential agency of the revolutionists in the United States, who recently was designated by Frncisco l. Madero, Jr., leader of the insurrection, as the only person besides himself empower ed to receive or initiate peace propos- als, has announced that he had com pleted special arrangements for expe- ditious telegraphic coRmunication be- tween the camp of Madero in Chihua- hua and Washington. The results of the telegraphic conference with his colleague, which will include a definite set of terms by which peace may be effected, will be transmitted by Co., meg to Mexico City.
 First Message Sent.
 The first message from Gomez to Madero was sent in cipher, and an answer is expected within 24 hours. Assurances have been given by the various authorities concerned that the messages will have right of way over Mexican telegraph lines.
 As Gomez has been unable to com municate to Francisco I. Madero the details of his meeting with Senor de la Barra, minister of foreign affairs. here on March 26 it is believed that Gomez took occasion to advise his chief of what happened at that con ference
