Stanleyis Glad Ordeal All Over.

Indianapolis. April ia. O.
Stanley, retiring Congressman from
Kentucky and attorney for Mayor
Dom M. Roberts and most of the
twenty seven Terre Haute politicians
who fought the Government case, ex-
planned here how he felt after 1t
was all over.
''I would not go through this
again for kings ransom" said STAN
ley. 1T has been a terrible seige. I've
just felt my way through darkness.
I understood the case was to have
been prepared before arrived. l
have sat day after day through this
trial just feeling my way. The only
defendant l knew before l arrived
was Roberts. He came to Washington
for me. I was just expected to help
out and make the closing address. I
had to assume charge of it all. The
people know I have always been
against election corruption. am here

Washington. April 10.-Senator
Miles Poindexter, of Washington, the
only progressive in the United
States senate. will announce himself
a Republican when he arrives at his
home in Spokane soon. He will de-
clare his purpose to run in the Re-
publican primaries as "a Progressive
Depublican" for the United States
senate next year. ~ ss-r
Senator Poindexter agress with
most of his Progressive associates
that the third party is no longer
serving any useful purpose and in
many places, as in Washington state,
is dividing the Progressive element
to the detriment of the general
cause.
He will leave next Tuesday for
Spokane. His detection to the Re-
publicans blots out the Bull Moose
party in the United States senate,
and is another evidence of the gen.
eral collapse of that movement.

POLITICAL EFFORT
To ruin BANK
L'gal Proceedings Begun Against
Secretary Of The
Treasury.

Washington, April 12.-The Riggs
National Bank. the largest financial
institution in Washington, today be-
gan legal proceedings against Secre-
tary McAdoo and Controller of the
Currency Williams to compel them to
desist from alleged efforts to ruin
its business. ..-
Temporary and permanent injunc-
tions we're asked from the District
of Coium bia Supreme Court against
these officials. The bill of complaint
alleges that Messrs. McAdoo and
Williams have prosecuted the bank
for more than year past, culmi-
mating March 30 with a refusal to
pay $1,000 interest on government
bonds on deposit with the United
States to secure the banks circu-
lation. i
The refusal is alleged to have re-
suited from failure on the part OF
the bank to make special reports
demanded by the Controller, the s.
900 representing a penalty of 500
a day imposed.
In its petition the bank declares
that Mr.. Williams exceeded his. au-
thority in demanding such reports
and asks the United States Treasurer
John Burke be enjoined from with
holding the $1,000 interest.

LAST THOUGHTS OF
BATTLE FOR PEOPLE
Kansas City Editor Kept Up
Fight Even While On
Death Bed.

Kansas City. Mo-, April 2S.-Fun-
eral arrangements for William Rock
hill Nelson. editor of the Star, who
died this morning. were being COM
pleted by the family today. Mr.. Nell
son had been unconscious since
Thursday last. Death was due to
uraemic poisoning. Mr.. Nelson's last
conference with his associates took
place in his bedroom the day before
he became unconscious. 1t pertain
ed to the necessity of keeping up
the fight for honest elections.
THAT is a fundamental for demo-
cratic government" he said. II may
not be here to see the fight won, but
the Star will fight with all its re-
sources until the present rotten sys-
tenn is broken down"
AS Mr.. Nelson became weaker it
was necessary to resort to artificial
means to prolong his life. He OBJ
jected vigorously. Last Thursday. a
few hours before he became uncon-
scious. he protested to his physician
against keeping him alive artificially.
Thursday he sank into a coma from
which he did not rally.
A day or so before he became un-
conscious Mr.. Nelson, realizeing the
probability of a fatal termination of
his illness. said to a friend: "The
Lord has been far better to me than
/ deserve. / have had a long life and
a happy life with great opportuni-
ties for usefulness. My only regret
is that I have not accomplished more
But If this is the end am ready"
Thruout his illness the problem Of
the poor was of intense concern to
him. He made large gifts to chari-
table institutions and was absorbed
in the work of soup kitchen which
his daughter. Mrs. Kirkwood, in
augurated and conducted.
While no formal statement was
made. IL was announced that ''as far
as is humanity possible the Star will
be conducted in accordance with the
aims and ideas of Mr.. Nelson"

Ottawa, Ont, April 12.-Through
a clerical error the authorities of the
penitentiary at Kingston. Ont. re-
leased from custody Thomas M. Ril-
ey, serving a term for manslau ghter,
on a pardon intended for Thomas
Riley also serving time for man
slaughter 1t vas announced ae.e to-
night. The mistake was discovered
when c e!ei gypisn from London. CDt
received letter from the freed Riley
now living in Everton Mo-. thank
thanking him for his efforts to pro-
cure the pardon.
The clergyman had made no ef-
forts to procure Riley's release and
started an inquiry which revealed
that the pardon was for Thomas
Riley, serving seven year term for
killing his wife at Hamilton, Ont,
and was granted on the ground OF
Riley's Ill health. Instead It freed
Thomas M. Riley. serving a fifteen
year term for manslaughter for the
killing of a bartender in London,
Ont.
1t was announced that the Govern
ment intends to rectify the mistake
by releasing Thomas Riley. and at
the same time make an effort to
extrsdite Thomas M. Riley and com
Del him to serve out his time.
