JAMES WH|TCOMb
RILEY PASSES AWAY

Indianapolis, July 24.-James Whit
comb Riley, the Hoosier poet, is dead.
Mr.. Riley's death was due to paraly-
sis.
James Whitcomb Riley, born of the
Middle West, sang the joys, sorrows,
fancies and humor Of its folks, largely
in its own dialect, The world was so
touched by his inspiration and the
realism Of his homely symbols that he
was one of the few who, devoting their
lives to poetry, gained fortune.
Mr.. Riley was peculiarly sensitive
as to the advance of age and evaded
inquiries as to the date of his birth,
but the most accurate information
available indicates that he was born
in 1853.
One of the most unique celebrations
in the country was held in his honor
Oct. z, 1915, when Riley day" was OBJ
served by banquet in Indianapolis.
and in schools of the country attended
by more than 10000 children.

that officials are considering the ad-
visibility of taking economic retalia-

pestueus career.
Az a business man, Pastor Russell
Ia said to have amassed fortune OF
several million dollars. Most OF this
flowed into his hands from followers
throughout the world.
His education was gained from pri-
vate tutors He entered the indepen-
dent ministry in his home city in
1878. and soon gained wide reputa-
ton as a forceful speaker.
In 1905 Pastor Russell was defen-
dant in a sensational divorce action.
His wife was granted decree after
evidence had been submitted OF the
minister's action with his ward, Rosa
Ball. who made her home with the
family. In his defense Pastor Russell
was quoted as saying: "A mans heart
is SO big he can love dozen women.
but a woman's Is so small she can
love but one man."
Pastor Russell in 1911 gained much
notoriety through what he termed
miracle wheat" 1t was claimed
miracle wheat" was capable of pro-
ducing ten to fifteen times as much
grain as ordinary wheat. Miracle
wheat" was heralded to be sold at 81

Probably no other minister in this

Pastor Russell. His peculiar views on
certain religious matters have brought
him frequently into the public eye,
and his sermons, delivered throughout

and widely read In Richmond there
are about $50 members OF the associa-

For years Pastor Russell has .heen

most important of which was the
