Indianapolis Ind, July 25.-Flags ia

Although the first plans were to have
the burial at Greenfield. Ind, the boy
mood home Of the poet, the plans were
changed last night to make the burial
here. Final word is awaited from sis
ter Mrs. Mary Payne, Of New York.
Mr.. Riley'S death was due to Daraly-

good health until he was stricken a
second time. This stroke caused a
complete cor paralysis Of his right side.
The severity Of the stroke wore away
somewhat until the poets hand seemed
the most affected. The combination of
his spirits and bodily strength seemed
convincing that he was far from be-
ing on the verge of fatal illness.
Mi. Riley was born in 1853, but was
reticent as to his exact age One of
the most unique celebrations in the
country was held in his honor, October
l. 1915, when Riley Day was observed
by banquet at Indianapolis, and in
schools of the country, attended by
more than 100000 children. Men
prominent in business and politics from
all over the country assembled to do
the poet homage at the celebration.
and many congratplatory messages
were received from abroad on that oc-
casion. The day IN the public schools
was observed by reading his poems.
The poets philosophy of life and his
manner of expressing in Hoosier dia-
lect won for him years ago a place in
the hearts of the public. OF late years
he had not appeared at public gather
ings to any great extent, but in nice
weather could be seen on the streets
OF indianapolis in his automobile.

London, July 24.--The reception in
the United States of the publication OF
the blicklist Of American firms has
caused considerable missivings in fl
nancial circles, which fear what they
term extra legal reprisals. Some of the
firms in the city. which have been do

firms on the prohibited lists and now
are compelled to make other arrange
ments, nave already received hints that
they may ! I'VE some trouble in obtain
ing substitutes, as their former core
spondents are said to have threatened
to boycott any other American firm
taking over the business.
Some weeks ago. according to re-
ports prevailing i'll the city, certain
neutral traders formed an international
nnion for mutual action against vari-
gus economic measures of the hellig-
srents likely to affect their trading in
terests. The smaller neutral nations,
which have been on the blacklist for
some time are said to have been
awaiting lead from the United States,
which they considered as not inclined
to become active as long as it's traders
suffered only from the operations of a
vaguely defined subrosa blacklist. With
America included in the blacklist, how
ever it is expected in the circles af-
fected that international traders OBJ
lection will develop not only in seek
Ing governmental redress, but in com
mercial reprisals.
Sweden, which is the only neutral
thus far to adopt any official reprisals
against the economic measures of bel

in support of the league OF neutral
traders.

firms and individuals under the trad

ent in administration circles here today.
Definite conclusions and plans were
said not to have developed. but it was
intimated that action of that kind
might be determined upon after the
state department learned more Of the
plans OF the British government.
In the event of economic reprisals be-
ing decided upon, the department of
justice and the department or COM
rne"ce, it was said, probably would de-
Nelop means of effecting them.
Sweden retaliated when Great Brit
ain blacklisted Swedish business
houses and individuals by refusing to
permit shipments for Russia to pass
through their territory, according to in
formation received by the state depart
dent. The action is understood to have
resulted in a modification by the Brit
lsh government of the blacilliSting
measures.
Ii was stated positively that the Uni
ted states would take positive steps of
some sort TO prevent injury to Amer
lean concerns through operation of the
act The official making this state
ment added, however, that he believed
that Great Britain would modify her
stand without the necessity of resort
ing to retaliation.
Officials said they had not heard of

in reports from abroad. They expressed

MEXICAN LAWS TO
Be MADE SUPRE ME-
Carranza Plans Measures Re-
Iating to Foreign Capital
That Will Greatly Re-
Iieve Uncle Sam.

New York, July 25.-Radical changes
in the laws governing foreigners doing
business in Mexico are about to be
made by General Carranza in a series
of DEGREES which later will be included
IN new constitution, according to re-
cent arrivals from Mexico City.
The new regulations it is said, will
provide that all foreign investors, be-
lore entering business in Mexico, must
agree not to have recourse in any case
to any other Jaw than that Of Mexico,
and that they will not be entitled to any
privileges not enjoyed by MeXicans. It
VIII also provide that foreign capital
already invested in Mexico, may enjoy
the right to be considered foreign and
be entitled to the protection Of it's own
government until the expiration Of the
concession or agreement that it may
have entered into, provided it is not for
a very long period.
Another provision is designed to fix
q uniform period for all the long or UNI
UNITED contracts, leases or concessions
IN which foreign capital is interested
and that ut the end of this period they
will be consirered subject only to the
authority of the Mexican government
and deprived Of the right Of appeal for
the protection of their respective gov
crnmentS.
These measures, it is understood are
to be incorporated in the Mexican con-
Stltution when the constitutional as
|sembly meets in Queretaro in the near
future and it is the belief of First Chief
Carranza and his advisors that they
will suffice IT, avoid the danger of COM
plications with European powers and as
natural sequel viii lift from the
United States the responsibility Of de-
Tending the territorial intregity of Mex
leo against The possibility of seizure of
lands Or properties by any foreign ma
ton in order TO pay the claims of their
nationals.

Mr.. Redmond obtained leave to move
