RILEY’S HOME TO BE KEPT AS MEMORIAL Property Purchased by Association as Shrine. DESK PRESERVED Poet’s Housekeeper Will Continue in Charge. The home of James Whitcomb Riley, on Lockerbie street, where the Hoosier poet lived twenty-five years and did most of the writing |Which brought fame to him and to Tiis State, will be preserved as a perpetual shrine for those who would pay homage. This became known today with the announcement of the purchase of the Riley home by the Riley Memorial Association. In 1016, following Riley's death, the home was closed and has not been opened since. In increasing numbers each year, persons from Tnfious parts of the State and United States visiting in Indianapolis have sought out the Riley home. William Fortune, some times ago, bought the home to prevent its falling into the hands of those who wanted It for real estate speculation, and with a view of its being preserved in honor of its long-time occupant. The Riley Memorial Association has been working on the project for several years and has just become ready to carry out its plans. PURPOSES OF ASSOCIATION. The association was formed soon after Riley died. Three purposes were held in view at that time: 1. To preserve ihe memory and perpetuate the knowledge of Riley’s work. 2. To save Riley's home as a public shrine. 3. To erect a permanent Memorial Hospital. k Hugh McK. J.andon Is president of the Memorial Association. William C. Robbs, Bee president; Frederick E. SchorteBeier, secretary, and Arthur V. Brown, Treasurer. The committee in charge of the homestead consists of Newett Howland, William P. Herod, and Mr. Si horfemeier. One of the purposes which the association eventually hopes to see accomplished is the clearing out of the square around the Riley Home of present houses and buildings for a park, although steps to this end have not been taken. Thursday, April 12, Is the day set for the formal opening of the home to the public, and it will be open dally there(Continned on Page Two.)

MRS. OBENCHAIN SOON TO KNOW JURY’SVERDICT One Woman and Two Men Reported Holding Out for Acquittal. LOS ANGELES. Cal., March 18.—After the sixth ballot hud failed to result In an agreement, it was reported today that a compromise verdict had been pro. posed and debated by the jurors in the case of Madal.vnne Obenchain, tried for sfee murder of .1. Helton Kennedy. The 4*H)T>rnnitse proposal, It was said, was made In an effort to effect a satisfactory before night. LOS ANGELES. March IS.—The Obenchan jury stood nine to three for conviction early today, according to an unofficial report. Ore juror, a prominent oil man, was known to be undecided and might Join •he minority, it was said. The mixed jury which is trying Madalynne Obenchain for the murder of ,T. Belton Kennedy was summoned to resume its deliberations at 9 o'clock, after being locked up all night. Throughout the night the accused woman tossed, exhausted but sleepless, on her narrow prison cot, watched closely by two matrons. One of the matrons said Madalynne was obviously in great fear of the verdict and started up at the slightest sound in the jail. In the jury room one woman alone of the three on the mixed jury was understood to be standing out for acquittal. This woman juror and two men were known to be holding out firmly. Two of the women jurors had voted for con viction, it was reported. The grave countenances of the jurors when they asked questions after reentering the court and the tenor of these questions led to the belief a verdict of guilty might be impending. The jury was reported to have cast its sixth ballot without reaching an agreement shortly after returning to their "ante” room to deliberate. Anew report spread that the jury still stood 9 to 3 for conviction after the sixth ballot. It was impossible to confirm the report. k The jurors, after breakfast, had a short ' automobile ride before resuming their task of trying to reach a verdict.

NEBRASKANS HAVE PASSED HARD TIMES Farming Interests See Changes for Better. PRICES INCREASE (Editor's Note—F.dward G. I.ovvry, distinguished Investigator and reporter for the PhlludelplUa Public Ledger, is touring the agricultural section west of the Mississippi River, in behalf of the Public Ledger and the Bnily Times, and writing a scries of articles upon conditions as he finds them. Tills is his second pro-* duetion, based upon observation in Nebraska. Others will follow at regular intervals.) Special to Indiana Pally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By EDWARD G. LOWRY. OMAHA, Neb, March 18.—Nebraska presents an aspect and condition that differe only in degree from lowa. The eastern end of the State, comprising roughly one-third of the total area, produces hogs, corn and other grains. The western part of the State is a cattleraising and grazing country. The farmers who produce grains and raise hogs are now we!' on the way back to normal and what they believe to be permanent prosperity. Cattle-raisers are in better condition than they were three or four months ago, but their situation is still unsettled. The stock raiser say they mush have cheaper money. This matter of financing cattle loans Is a special problem. It means long-term borrowings, and some of the banks do not like to take the business. Just sow the normal number of cattle is not on the ranges. Nebraska makes no secret of the fact that since last autumn the State hae been having a hard time. The value of her products had decreased, and the farmers were still paying high prices for everything that they had to buy. The change for the better has come since the first of the year and chiefly since the first of February. Farm products have all advanced, ranging from an increase of 68 per cent In corn prices to (Continued on Page Fonr.)

The most famous home on the most famous street in Indianapolis will soon become to all intents and purposes public property. The home is that of James Whitcomb Riley, and it is situated on Lockerbie street, the little out-of-the-way thoroughfare that the poet loved so well. It has been bought by the Riley Memorial Association. The test description of this little Mocklong street was written by the poet himself wren he said: “Such a dear little street, it Is nestled away From .he noise of the city and the heat of the day. In the cool shady coverts of whitperlng trees. With the.r leaves lifted up to shake hands with tile breeze. Which in all its wide wanderings never may meet With n resting place fairer than Lockerbie street.” “There is such a relief from the clangor and din Os the heart of the town to go loitering Through the dim. narrow walks, with the sheltering shade Os the trees waving over the long promenade. And littering lightly the ways of our feet With the gold of the sunshine of Lockerbie street. “And the nights that come down the dark pathways of dusk With the stars in their tresses, and odors of musk In their moon-woven raiments, bespangled with dews And looped up with lilies for lovers to use In the songs that they sing to the tinkle and beat Os their sweet serenadings through Lockerbie street. “Oh my Lockerbie street! You are fair to be seen— Be It noon of the day, or the rare and serene Afternoon or the night—you are one to my heart And I love you above all the phrases of art. For no language could frame and no lips could repeat My rhyme-haunted raptures of Locker, bie street.” Car Kills Farmer; Brother Is Hurt FT. WAYNE. Ind., March 18—Aaron Amstutzm. 42, a farmer of Harlan, was killed Instantly and his brother, Delbert, injured seriously when their automobile truck was struck and demnlishol by an interurban car at a crossing east of the city, shortly afternoon today.

ANTHRACITE MINERS TO DROP PICKS Lewis Says Operators Are Responsible for Strike. ‘STALL’ CHARGED NEW YORK, March 18.—All anthracite coal mines will close April 1 and 155,000 mine workers will put into effect their promise made at the Shamokin convention of a suspension until they have anew agreement with the operators. This is the view of John L. Lewis, chief of the miners, and of S. D. Warriner, spokesman for the operators. Mine workers charge responsibility rests entirely on the heads of the coal companies. President Lewis said that the subcommittee named to discuss anthracite problems with the operators was ready at yesterday’s session to start conferences at once. Delay came not to the surprise, but to the disappointment of the miners when the operators moved for adjournment until next Tuesday. “Delaying tactics”’ is what (he miners say of the operators' program and such a program, they assert, makes a suspension inevitable. Lewis and his subcommittee have decided to remain on the ground and be ready for any call. They will hold meetings between now and Tuesday, adding the finishing touches to their case. In the ranks of the miners it is charged the eyes of the operators have been riveted on the bituminous situation. Now that Lewis and Vice President Phil Murray are preparing to call for OOIt.OOO bituminous workers to quit work April 1 because the operators have refused to negotiate, there is the chance the anthracite coal owners will change their policy and speed up the conference here. Miners are expecting that when the work of the subcommittees get under way Tuesday operators will gradually lead to the point where they will ask for a decrease of about 15 per cent in wages. A mass of figures Jett Lauck, statistician, has been gathering for many weeks, will be used to offlset any such demand.

MAINE CONTEST HOLDS INTEREST First Congressional Election of Harding Administration to Occur Monday. WASHINGTON, March 18.—Political interest in the capital was centered today upon Maine, where the Harding Administration goes on trial Monday for the first time in a regular election. The test comes in the Third Congressional district where the voters will elect a Congressman to succeed Representative John A. Peters, who has resigned to go on the bench. It is the first Congressional election of the Harding Administration and unusual interest is at-, tached to it because of the coming fall Congressional campaign. The Republican candidate is John E. Nelson and the Democrat is Ernest McLean, both of Augusta and lawyers. The issue is being fought out on strict national party lines, according to reports to the national headquarters of both parties. The Republicans are confident of a substantial victory. BROKERS FACE INQUIRY. NEW YORK, March 18.—Charges of bucketing against members of the American Cotton Exchange and its officers and directors will have to go before the grand jury, District Attorney Joab H. Banton announced today.

Geddes Quoted as Saying Pact Averted a War Robinson Takes Exception and Asks if U. S. Delegates Knew It. WASHINGTON, March 18.—A statement attributed to Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambassador to the United States, that the foCr-power Pacific treaty averted an Imminent war in the Pacific, today put new life into the opposition to the four-power pact. Senator Robinson, Arkansas, declared that if Geddes was right Senators “should vote against not only the fourpower treaty, but the naval limitation treaty. “If it be true that at the time this treaty was made, Japan was preparing to attack our Pacific possessions,” said Robinson, “then instead of disarming, we should call ou America to arm. “Under such circumstances it would be dangerous to scrap our battleships and bond ourselves not to fortify Guam and the Phlllipines.” The Statement attributed to Geddes was said by Robinson to have been made yesterday in Los Angeles. Senator Johnson, California, asked Robinson if Geddes was “in my State making speeches for the treaty';” "Did the American delegates know when they made a treaty that a war impending?” Robinson asked. Neither Lodge nor Underwood answered. Robinson asserted that “if the American people thought for a moment this treaty was negotiated to stave off a war on us by Japan that was about to be started they would demand its rejection." Robinson suggested that if Secretary Hughes had been called before _ the Foreign Relations Committee, “we might konw what secret agreement our allies hate already made.”

CHURCHMAN LOCATION FOR HOME OPPOSED Opposition to County Commissioner Harry D. Tutewiler's plan to purchase approximately three hundred acres of land belonging to the Churchman estate and others south of the Beech Grove car line In Franklin Township for the purpose of relocating the juvenile detention home and all of the county orphanages, was developing today. The land will cost approximately $150,000 and ultimately after the plan i* perfected, It wit! represent a $500,000 institution. Several members of the Marion County council are opposed to the plan of Inlying the Churchman land and adjoining tracts. The records in the assessor’s office for Frnnk'in Township show that Frank F. Churchman owns two tracts of land; one containing one hundred sixty acres, the land being valued at $30,400 and improvements at SB,OOO. The other tract embraces forty acres, valued at SB,OOO. Another tract of laud under consideration contains a little over thirty-two acres and is valued at $6,550 and the improvements at $7,000. Mr. Tutewtler said a woman who owns n seven acre tract near Churchman land wants $14,000. Many of those interested In the project of acquiring a site on which to relocate the Juvenile detention home, the colored orphans’ home and a home for white orphans, are of the opinion that the Churchman site. Is not near enough to a ear line and that the land is not suitable for farming. Mr. Tutewller. on the other hand, says the Beech Grove street car line Is near the site and that a road leading past the site has been ordered improved. He says elty water has been piped out there and that the institution will have fire protection from Beech Grove. At a meeting of a special committee appointed by the commissioners to aid in the selection of a site, only six of the thirteen members attended. Some members of the committee thought it would not be fair to indorse the Churchman site when so few members of the committee were present. The committee will meet Monday noon at the Chamber of Commerce. Members of the county council do not oppose the plan of obtaining land on which to create an “opportunity home” or farm home for the orphans and the wards of the juvenile court. Some differ on the advisability of putting the two classes of children on the same tract. At present the opposition Is centered upon the purchase price of the land and also against the location. Some of those Interested feel the land Mr. Tutewller wishes purchased, will not meet the needs of the Institution.

THIRD CONCERN CUTS PRICES IN ASPHALTPAVING A third contracting firm has cut Its asphalt prices to the figure for which John L. Elliott, city civil engineer, has been fighting the past three weeks, it became known today. The Indiana Asphalt Paving Company is the new entrant into the lower price level, joining the Marion County Construction Company and the Mansfield Engineering Company. The Indiana Asphalt Paving Company dropped its prlee for a square yard of asphalt resurfacing to $2.0(1, bs compared with $2.00, which was the lowest price submitted upon a resolution for resurfacing of a portion of Prospect street several days ago. The Indiana Asphalt Paving Company did not bid on the Prospect street Improvement but the fact that it went 54 cents under the firms that did bid was taken as indication that it hRd enlisted on the side of the city civil engineer. The low bid of the Indiana asphalt firm was on the resurfacing of Washington street from Pine to Cruse street. A contract was awarded to the company by the board of public works upon the engineers recommendation yesterday. The award was made a basis of $7.93 a lineal foot for “asphalt” resurfacing. In Its bid the company had proposed that figure for “oil asphalt" and $9.01 a lineal foot for "Trinidad asphalt,” demonstrat(Continued on Page Three.)

UPSETS OCCUR IN EARLY NET GAMES OF DAY Vincennes Five Falls Before Bloomington and Anderson Loses to Marion. MORNING PLAY DETAIL Upsets in the morning play today at the State basket-ball tournament being hold at in the Coliseum, State fairground, put some unlooked for teams into the semi-final round of play this afternoon. In the first game Bloomington took ou the Franklin five and In the second contest Marion met Garfield of Terre Haute. Bloomington advanced in the State title play by a hard-fought win over tho highly-touted Vincennes team fn the first game of the morning round. Franklin was given the edge In the contest this ufternoon, as that aggregation had shown wonderful form In the early games aud had a night's p-st since its last contest. Bloomington, on the other hand, was forced to give all it had iu the victory of the morning and fa ed the task of coming lack strong against the two-time champs. Another upset put Marion Into the semi-finals against Garfield, of Terre Haute in the 3 o'clock contest this afternoon. Marion has proved the real dark horse of the tourney, defeating Rushvlile and Anderson, two favorites. The big Coliseum filled up rapidly for the semi-final*. Large delegations of rooter* from Marlon, Bloomington, Terre Haute and Franklin were on hand early to cheer their favorites. The big upset of the State high school finals tourney came this morning in the first game of the day, when Bloomington eliminated Vincennes, the “southern flashes,” who had won thirty eight straight games before meeting their Waterlool n the persons of the Purple and White clad warriors from Monroe County. The score was 21 to 15. It was a heavy disappointment to the host of Vincennes followers who had made the trip to Indianapolis to watch their unbeaten favorites perform. The southern rooters had never seen their five taste defeat and it was all the more bitter coining at a time when it meant so much. Vincennes had its eyes on the State title arid was not counting on Bloomington to turn them back as that team had been beaten twice during the regular schedule. j Bloomington started fast And ran up five points before the “Alices” counted, j Logan who starred throughout the contest, broke the Ice for the winners with a field goal. Wampler tossed the first Vincennes point from the fopl line. Bloomington played a great defensive game nnd consistently smothered the famed attack of Wampler, Wolfe and Theobold. At the half the score stood 13 to 6 in favor of the final victors. At the start of the second period Vincennes pulled up until the count was 17 to 15, but could never quite get on even terms with their opponents. Wampler’s foul goal shooting was largely responsible for the steady climb. With only a two point margin to go on, Keuger of Bloomington came through with n field goal and Logan tossed in one from the foul line. There was not much scoring i in the final fifteen minutes. Jones, the big back guard of Vincennes, came down the floor time after time for long shots at the ffet and they were so close that the crowd was in an uproar most of the time. He connected with only one, however, throughout the contest. Theobold, the Vincennes center, went out of the game on fouls at about she middle of the second half. Logan nnd Kreuger starred for the winners in their triumph. Kreuger counted on long attempts while the lanky center played a beautiful game on the floor, heady at all times and a “bear” both on defense and offense. It was a case of a team that has scored large totals being smothered by n live well coached In the art of defense. Theohold and Wolfe were held scoreless while Wampler could get only one field goal. Wampler kept up his great free tbrowiug record, however, by tossing in seven out of nine from the foul line.

In the second game of the morning today, Garfield of Terre Haute opened up in the second half and defeated Fishers, 30 to 16. The teams looked very evenly matched at the start of the contest and battled on even terms throughout the first fifteen minutes. At half time Garfield had only a one-point advantage, the count being 12 to 11. In the last period the winners uncorked a faster attack and ran up the total to thirty before the gun sounded. Fishers could get only five points while Garfield was amassing fifteen in this half. Castetter scored twelve of his team's points, getting two field goals and eight from the foul line. The forward showed some of the most accurate free throwing of the tournament to date He counted six straight one-pointers before a miss. His record was eight out of nine. The winners divided tip the scoring Amour was high man from the field, with four baskets to his credit. Bolin and Wheeler each got three, and Woodburn two. Garfield was to meet the winner of the Marion-Anderson scrap in the semi-final round this afternoon at 3 o’clock. Marion kicked over the dope bucket again in the last game of the morning today and defeated the Anderson team, which was picked to win by most of the “experts.” The final score was 20
