RILEY CHILDREN
SUE STEP-MOTHER
Ask That Widow of Late Police
man Be Deprived Of Service
Insurance.

The fight over the estate OF the
late Eli Riley. former policeman. was
continued today when the children
OF the late policeman, Harry Riley.
Edward Riley, Herbert Riley, Phillip
Milton Riley, Howard G. Riley. Alice
Shoemaker, and Jessie Hawken, filed
"A petition in court asking that tho
widow be deprived OF the $1,000 insur-
ance. which is payable under the
policy OF the Metropolitan Police Re-
lief Association.
They allege that Mrs. Riley induced
their father to turn over to her all
his worldly possessions. and that In
order to get rid of her husband"
she had him placed ia "a penal insti-
tuition in this city.
LEFT DYING REQUEsT.
They claim that their father on
February 3 last, expressed in writing
to the chief clerk OF the police re-
ief association a desire to have his
children obtain the money when he
died.
The eighty -year-old retired police
man died November II, last, and his
widow claimed all his property. Po-
liceman Riley was married the second
time to Nellie May Riley on April II.
1915. The children claim that their
stepmother induced their father TO
turn over to her all his property, and
II is claimed that on May ~, 1918, he
decided to her a house which he in
herited from his father, the condition
OF the transfer being that she would
care for him and nurse him during the
remainder OF his life.
The children allege that on Decem-
Der 3, 1915, their stepmother sold the
nd hot uyit bct a ndi q he
consideration to care for and nurse
her husband, within two months OF
the sale of the house she, in order to
get rid of him and relieve herself
from ma intaining him out of the pro-
ceeds of the sale OF the house, on the
preteNt that he was insane had him
brought to Washington from his
home in Maryland and had him placed
in penal institution, in which he
languished until rescued by one OF his
children"
MUCH INTEREST IN CAPITAL.
The contest OF the children and
their stepmother has been attracting
a great deal Of interest in Washing
ton, where the children are pro nj
nent. Their father was one of the
best known policemen in Washingto
and was on duty here for years
After the children took their father
from the Washington institution.
their stepmother sued him for main
tenance, filing suit against him on
in the District supreme Court when
he died.
The children declare that Mrs
Riley is not entitled to the fathers
insurance, and ask the court for a
decree awarding t"em the 81 900.

Recall Tragedy Of
 IexingtOn'S Burning

The tragedy of the burning to the waters edge and sinking of the old Sound Steamer Lexington about sev- enty-five years ago, while on her way from New York to Providence with a cargo of cotton and general merchan- disc and the loss of over a hundred lives, was vividly called to mind to- day by the discovery of the hulk of the burned steamer at the bottom of the Sound in over hundred feet of water by the new Lake Submarine Salvage Boat Argonaut II.
 The Argonaut was exploring the bottom of the Sound between Mid dle- ground and Penfield Reef Tuesday, when the observer discovered the hull a short distance ahead and signalled to the navigator in the boat over head to stop.
 Donning their diving suits the div CTS were lowered to the bottom of the Sound and carefully examined the hull. It was found to be that of an old steamer 200 feet long with old fashioned engines and a boiler made of copper.
 The hull was so covered with mud and deep sea vegetation that it was i'm mpossible to make a thorough sur vey but a large safe was discovered among the debis.
 As the boat had been burned to the waters edge there was no name or other way in which she could be iden- tified by the divers. On his return to this city, however, the captain made inquiries and is convinced from an of the records of marine disasters on the Sound that the hull is that of the old Lexington.
 The story is that about 1S45 the Lex ington, a 200-foot, side wheel steamer, was engaged in daily trips between New York and Providence. Coal was not then in general use as fuel and the steamers along the Sound all burned wood in their boilers.
 On very cold. winters night in January the Lexington was making the trip to Providence with about 100 persons on board, including crew and passengers. When opposite Bridgeport a fire was discovered in the boiler room. which quickly spread to the cargo of cotton, which covered

DISPUTE OVER
 GIRLS TRIAL

Whether a 15-year-old girl who re- gently ran away from her home Will liam cSreet, should be tried in the Ju- venffe chambers of the City court was a question for a rather heated dis cussion in police headquarters this m orning.
 The young lady, whose mother is dead, left her fathers home a few days ago, and went to Brooklyn, N. Y. where she thought she would have a better chance to secure an educa- tion. The police department was no- tified and Detective Malone went to Brooklyn yesterday, and brought the girl back to Bridgeport.
 Miss Gratia Rice, Of the Juvenile court. characterized the action as un- fair, and demanded that the girl be taken out of the City court -inasmucb as she has not been claSsed as a crim- inal for trial in a criminal court. Af- ter a lively discussion in the hall ad- joining the. city court room, the girl was taken from police headquarters to the probate court.

CARDINAL GIBBONS PRAYER

Chicago, June 1O-Cardinal Gibbons's prayer at opening of today'S session of the Republican National Convention follows:
 we pray thee, O, God of might, wisdom and justice, through whom authority is right ly administered, laws are enacted and judgment decreed, vouchsafe to inspire thy servants, the citi- zens of America, to elect chief will be conducted in righteous ness and be eminently useful to thy people over whom he shall preside, by encouraging due re- spect for virtue and religion, by a faithful execution of the laws in justice and mercy, and by re- straining vice and immortality.
 May thy people always rea- 1ize the inspired truth, that righteousness exalteth a nation but that sin maketh people miserable.' May they be 1ntf- mately persuaded that if our na- ton is to be perpetuated our government must rest, not on formidable standing armies, not on dreadnoughts, for the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong May they be per- suaded that our government must rest upon the eternal prin- ciples of truth, justice and right eousness; on downright honesty in our dealings with foreign na- tions and on the devout recogni- ton of an over ruling providence,
