GREENS STATEMENT

Mobile, July 24.-ln d slSHeo 1'" ment tonight to the Register, C. C. Green explained the reasons for ms disappearance from Mobile on January il. 1915. He said that he came to MO- bile from Waynesboro on January lo' on account of business matters. Green related his story as follows: "I was heavily in debt when the F,uropean war came on, and had notes falling due on the first of the year. I found that I was unable to borrow sufficient money or to sell my property for the purpose of meeting those ooil- cations when they became due.
 q had a horror of going into bank ruptcy, so I decided to go away Tor oo or 60 days. I believed by taking such a trip matters would adjust themselves in time.
 My health was also failing me at the time. My condition became worse and was unable to return when had intended to-"
 Green then went on to say that he did not hear a word from his family or from any acquaintance for 12 months Neither did he let his family or ac- ouaintances hear from him, Green said. He admitted that he had communicated with his family a few days before his return. but he said when he reached Wavnesboro last night he surprised them q had not advised my 1amliy when I would return" he said. Duf . ine my long absence I never even saw a copy of my home paper He re- fused to comment on the insurance sult or to go into any of the other events that developed after his disappearance executing matters touched upon in the signed statement. He is now suffering with rheumatis and is somewhat worn from his long trip homeward. He declared that while he was among en- tire strangers. he could not have asked for and received any better treatment.
 Green positively declined to reveal ris residence during the last IS months. He said he did not think that was nec- essary.
 q shall immediately resume charge of my business affairs" he said.
 When Green left Mobile, he was smooth shaven and full faced. Today he has a full crop of long, white whis- kers. His cheeks are sunken and his face looks as if he had been through a great trial. One of his friends here to- day said Green told him he had been so depressed by living under an assumed name among people who had been kind and good to him, that it was almost more than he could stand.

 FIRST PUBLICATION
 The first published work of the Hoosier poet was "The Old Swlmmin' Hole" Breathes there a normal healthy boy in America who has not lived every line of that lyric!
 His was the art of writing about the things of everyday life in the unusual way and with an insight which found more than is revealed to the usual eye, and which subtly distinguishes between the common and the commonplace
 Among those which followed are, Arm azindy" historic "Leoraine,' "Neighborly Poems" 'Afterwhiles," comprising 62 poems and sonnets, serious, pathetic hu- morous and dialectic, Rhymes of Child hood and hundreds of others appealing to every side of human nature and sweeping with his wonderful lyric-fusing power the chords of every emotion known to human experience.

THE HOOSIER POET
By G. LEWIS BALES

A mighty hand is paralyzed forever-a magic pen lies idle.
 When the wires of the Associated Press flashed to the world yesterday morning the announcement, James Whitcomb Riley is dead" Indianapolis lamented for her foremost citizen; Hoosier life and tra- dition agonized over that truest interpre- ter; Indiana mourned her peerless spokes- man, and the heart of the nation was made to feel the heavy and ponderous throb of universal sorrow.
 James Whitcomb Riley was born at Greenfield, Ind, in 1853. His school edu- cation was irregular and unfinished. He loved nature better than science, and men more than books. His father, a Quaker, and the leading attorney of the Greenfield bar, desired to make a lawyer of his son, But whenever I picked up Black tone or Greenleaf," the poet often re- lated, "all my wits went to wool gath ering and my father soon saw that this one of his hopes was doomed to disap- pointment'
 CREATIVE INSTINCT
 The call of the creative instinct within James WnltcOmD Riley was noWerIul, uS loved to fashion whatever would reflect and crystalze his fancy and inauguration. Singularly enough he became a sign painter for a patent medicine concern and later organized an odd band which he called the Graphic company This com pany was group of itenerant sign painters and musicians who drummed up trade with their music and vaudeville. '"IVe kept it up three or four years, the poet used to tell, made plenty of money, had lots of fun and did no harm to our selves or any one else.
 The sweet singer of the Hoosier state composed his first poems while travelling with his company of painter-players. For many years he endeavored to have his verses published in various magazines sending them from one to another only to get them promptly back again. Finally he enclosed some specimens of his work to the poet Longfellow. MT. LongfelloW was struck by a unique and subtle charm in them and promptly and publicly con gratuIated him. From that day James Whitcomb Riley's success was assured

that w. Al Jones had made a success
of the state fair, and that he was en-
titled To reappointment.
The reslgnatoins constitute the
most telling rebuke that has been ad-
uinistered the Withycombe admins
tratlon since the governor was in
augurated. They are regarded as a
protest against the making Of the
state fair a political football and
against the protection Of grafiers.
Governor Wthycombe and his ad-
visors have spared no efforts to ousi
Jones and at no time have they de-
MED that he was capable The real
reason for Jones dismissal Is that he
refused to heed the governors edict
that the men who grated in the sell
ing and taking Of tickets at the 1917
state fair should not be prosecuted
The governor made his wishes In
this respect known at a meeting helt
in his office, in efforts to suppress
news OF the theft and in many Other
ways.
