Hoos1ER POET HAS NOT YET REACHED SUNSET OF HIS
CAREER; D1ANAPoL1s HoNoRs RILEY o BIRTHDAY

indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 1S.-(Spe-
~ciaD-Four years ago word went out
that "Hoosier Jim'-James Whit

of songs and writer of jingles, had
written his last rhyme, that he was
p%aralyzed and near the grave. 1t
cast a pail of gloom over the Hoosier
State, over all America, yes, over the
whole world, for Jim Riley, former
barefoot boy from Greenfield, is the
friend of kings and emperors.
Even Riley, at that time so weak
he was scarcely able to carry On a
conversation, said family, My work

Recently Il committee representing
the citizens Of indianapolis called OIL
the poet at his old-fashioned red
brick house in LOckerbie street. They
told him the city wanted to tender
a banquet on the occasion OF the an
niversary of his birth, October 7. The
committee was headed by Mayor Jo-
seph A. Bell and Meredith Nicholson
I'll makes me 50 happy l want to
laugh" said Riley.
No one seems to know his exact
age. Asked why he kept it a
secret, he replied: 81 never want my
friends to think Pm getting old"
He still has the heart of a boy.
Nothing would Grieve him more than
to have some n say he is aging.
He still has the anne cheerful, light
hearted, sympathetic nature he had

many years ago.

Riley never likes to talk abo"t
himself. He has not written an auto
biography and never will. He doesn't
even like to nave any one quote him.
"It SENS 50 %conceited,' is his way

of Chicago writer's decided to put
out a biography. They wrote it care
fully and haa it set in type. They
then thought it would, be a wise plan
to have Riley verify it. When the
proofs were taken to him he was

greatly mortified. He protested and
asked his friends to leave him alone,
saying his life was too commonplace
to interest anyone. The authors were
insistent, SO the poet in despair
agreed to look over the proofs.
Many months after that he sent
them back. With wonderful clever
ness he had doctorcd the biography
beyond recognition. Not . specific
W direct statement was left. Every
date was scratched out and every
story was changed to make it appear
to a reader as though it was doubtful
whether it was about him.
And on top of that, when the book
was published, it was discovered he
had bought all rights to it and had
everything destroyed.
'iley won great fame as a reader
Of his own poems. But It has been
many years since he has been on a
platform. Those fortunate enough to
have heard him can never forget his
inimitable presentation Of "My Grand

PACKERS PROTEST
AGAINST BRITAIN
State Department Takes Notice
OF Seizure of Ship
VitaIia.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. - State de-
partment officials today described as a
high handed outrage" the act of
Great Britain in Selling and taking
into a prize court the ship Vitalia.
loaded with packers products for Rot
terdam.
This will be given serious considera-
ton by the state department as it in
wolves a charge that Great Britain
practically violated her own regula-
tions that goods could safely be ship
ped if consigned to the overseas
trust" in Holland. The packers, it is
said, are able TO prove that in all
commercial fairness they complied
with the British demands. Depart
ment officials who talked on the sub
ject today said it was not only a flag
rant instance of unwarranted interfer-
ence with American commerce, but
offered a good opportunity for nego-
tiations looking TO the settlement OF
all the packers cases.
Answer is F1imSy.
The state department protested TO
Great Britain at the time of the seiZ-
ure Of the Vitalia. The answer, which
was received recently was character
lied as 1imsy and evasive and indicat-
ing Clearly THAT lllllt II ~ NC CApStlG0
in the way OF a modification of the
British order in council.
The whole subject of the interior
ence with millions of dollars worth
of packers goods is to be laid before
the state department tomorrow by
Charles ]. Faulkner and Henry Weed
er of Chicago, attorneys for the pack
ers. They called on Chandler Ander-
son. special assistant to the secretary
of state, today and discussed their
protest. 1t was found, however that
better progress could be made after
the receipt by the state department
of the transcript of the recent decree
or the British prize court contscating
a number of meat cargoes. A copy of
the decree is expected tomorrow. Mr..
Veeder and Mr.. Faulkner Will then
submit TO the department statement
presenting their whole case. ON this
they expect immediate action by this
government.

MAY ASK KAISER
TO QUIET TURKS
State Department is Informed
That Stories of Atrocities
Are True.

WASHINGTON. oct. 1. The
state department IS daily growing
more perturbed over the situation in
Turkey, where atrocities are being
committed against Armenians MANY
OF whom have been educated and aid
ed by American missionary societies.
Judge Harry V Osborne Of Newark.
y. j., accompanied by two Armen-
ians. today urged Pres't Wilson to
bring the atrocities to the attention of
the German government. They eX-
pressed the belief that Intervention
by Germany would stop them. The
president did not commit himself, but
listened carefully 10 the recital Of
wrongs that was given with much de-
tail
There is nothing TO prevent the
president from taking this matter up
unofficialy with the German COVE n
ment. but state department officials
indicated they did not think il would
be done. No reason for this intima-
ton was given, but II IS presumed
that in view of the existing relations
between this government and Ger
many growing out OF the war the ad-
ministration would not care 10 make
any requests that would place IL under
obligations TO any belltgerents.
Denials Are Untrue.
among the Armenlans that come from
both German and Turkish sources are
known TO be untrue IL was said at the
state department today. From the
confidential reports OF its consular
agents the department knows what
the situation Is, but the facts cannot
be divulged because, as an official said
today. it would endanger the lives of
every American consular official in
Turkey. many Of whom are not Amer
lean citizens.
So bitter is the feeling against the
Armenians in Turkey that department
officials do not believe permission will
be granted the American Red Cross
TO undertake relief work among them.
Department officials do not conceal
the fact that they think the Turkish
reason of military necessity cannot
justify the continued massacre Of the
ArmenianS.
