MAY GIVE UP QUARTERS
OCCUPIED MANY YEARS
Association of Oldest lnhabit-
ants of District Names Com
mittee to Handle Matter.

Formal REIMBURSEMENT OF the quarters
occupied by it for many years in the
Corcoran building, 18th and F streets
northwest, may be made shortly by the
Association Of the Oldest Inhabitants OF
the District of Columbia.
Although the organization has main
tanned headquarters for some time in the
old engine house, 10th and H streets
northwest. it has never surrendered its
privilege Of using the room in the Cor
coran building placed at it's disposal by
Mr.. Corcoran originally and after his
death by Mr.. William Corcoran Eustis,
representing his estate Question has
been raised as to whether the relinquish-
ment of this right is necessary before
to make way for improvement said to be
in contemplation.
Will Investigate Matter.
A committee of the association, COM
posed Of DR.. BENJAMIN w. Summey, Will
liam III. Singleton and John B: Mccarthy,
will investigate the matter and report at
the next meeting. 1t is likely that the
recommendation of the committee will be
that the association give up its privilege
relative to the use Of the Corcoran build
ing room and communicate to the rep
resentatives of the Corcoran estate its
appreciation Of the courtesy so long ex-
tended it.
Less than an hour was required for the
transaction of business which came be-
fore the Oldest Inhabitants at their regu-
lar April meeting last night. Five new
members were elected and the deaths of
two reported. Those whose names were
added to the roster of the organization
are Judge Alexander B. Hagner of 1918

CARRIED INTO COURT.
John Riley, Charged With Mail Theft
and Other Grimes.

John Riley who was to be tried
January IS, in the federal court for
robbing the mails, was brought before
the judge on stretcher, examined by
d physician, and pronounced too ill
for cross examination. Riley has
police record as long as the life of
Job-he was charged with stealing
mail at Salina last July, particularly
the letters belonging to the Doran
Caspar grocery store. 1t had also
been satisfactorily proven upon iden-
tification that he robbed North To-
peka jewelry shop-seven or eight
hundred dollars worth of silver and
stones having been discovered by In
spector J. F. Elston in the possession
of Riley and his feminine associates
In addition to this discordant duet of
theft Riley is strongly suspected of
the murder of Benjamin Platt-
When Riley, who was confined in
the Shawnee county Jail, claimed he
was dying of consumption, and re-
fused to eat the federal officers were
not particularly sympathetic. The
persistency of the United States at
torneys in having Riley brought to
court was due to the fact that he was
at one time charged with felony in
Texas, feigned insanity, was sent to
hospital, got his bearings, and
promptly escaped.
Early in January Riley was taken
from Topeka to the jail in Kansas
City, Kan, on order of removal for
January Is, Riley was brought before
the court, pleaded not guilty, insisted
he had no money or friends, and the
court appointed Kansas City attor-
ney to defend him. The case was call
ed three separate times, and the de-
PENDANT failed to appear. Finally, at
the last hearing, Deputy United States
Marshal Mead was dispatched for
Riley, found him in bed, and insist
ing he was unable to appear.
He was produced in court on
stretcher, and a physician ordered to
make an examination. DR.. Gray of
Kansas City, stated that the defend
dant was 'tubercular," had symptoms
of pleurisy, and was unable to stand
trial.
IF he is tried, he will have to lie
on a stretcher; can't possibly sit up,
the doctor declared.
The court was obliged to continue
the case upon it's own motion, and
Riley was carried away. He is in
jail in Kansas City and will be tried
in April if he lives.
