Present Management of Paper Apologizes for Gordon Editorial. tIBEL SUIT IMPRQSl IT 18 BELIEVED ACTIO LAST EVENING WILL TAKEN I8PACTORY TO AT WHO THREATENED SUIT.

Formal retraction of the editorial entitled "A. Civic Uplift," appearing in The Evening Item recently, was made la. last evening's edition of that paper. It was this editorial that brought to a climax the estrangement that had existed between the owners of the Item for some time. The retirement of J. Bennett Gordon as managing editor of the Item followed soon after its publication. It was understood at the time the editorial was without the indorsement of the owners of the paper, with the exception of Gordon.

May Stop the Suit. It is believed the public retraction will put a stop to the threatened suit against Gordon and the Item Newspaper Publishing company, charging libel. Notice was served on Gordon- by Byram Robbing. Paul Comstock and Robert Study, three attorneys who believed rumor had connected their names with the lnuendos of the editorial, that a retraction would have to be made within three days or suit -would be entered for damages. Following the date of service of the notice, Gordon remained in control but a few days. His retirement and the pub

lication of the retraction the day fol

lowing is expected to ameliorate mat

ter, satisfy the attorneys and avoid prosecution of the suit. The retraction in part was as follow: A RETRACTION. It was with the keenest regret that the present management of The Item read in the issue of May 19 an editorial written by J. Bennett Gordon, entitled "Ai Civic Uplift." in which the personal characters of four well known attorneys in this city, as well us of other persons, wero aesailod. The attack appeared to us absolutely unwarranted and inexcusable, and on behalf of the Item Newspaper company we desire to retract , each and every statement and charge against any and every individual alluded to therein as fully and emphatically as it is in the power of language to express. We do this as a simple matter of justice, -without regard to any consequences. ' ' And we desire' further to say that any influences - and ; inuendoes contained in the editorial of the same date entitled "The Crime of Being Poor," which were intended to reflect upon the character of Rudolph Leeds, were, In our, opinion, equally unwarranted and unjustifiable.

Taylor's death, in the first year of his administration, opened the White House to Fillmore, whose delicate wife kept to her music and books and flowers, letting a brilliant daughter do the honors. To ' Mrs. Fillmore's love of

reading was due the library appropriation granted by congress. Pierce, too, brought a delicate, retiring wife. Then for our social saving, Buchanan's the splendid young Harriet Lane, came to preside for her bachelor uncle. She was very much the modern girl; only her generation was not educated up to her ideas, and the physical exuberance that would have made her a tennis expert and golf champion today subjected her to many a mild snub from her conservative guardian. Buchanan was fond of teasing her with the tale of how she challenged a young man to run a race, and beat him hopelessly a most unfeminlne proceeding. - Secretly he was immensely proud of her, but the times did not indorse such

vigor. Harriet Lane's position in the White House was more onerous, perhaps, than that of any one since Martha Washington, - for Buchanan had many personal visitors in addition to his official ones. At the English court, while her uncle was ambassador in London, Miss Lane had added experience to her equipment and was quite equal to anything her new position might offer even to the entertaining of the prince of Wales, when he was in Washington. The young prince would have liked a dance, but the flat of Mrs. Polk still hung heavy over the White House and Buchanan was unwilling to break through it. One of the amusements provided for him

was a visit to the tomb of Washington, where he did reverence most suitably,

like the well bred young prince he was Miss Lane, with sympathetic understanding of his youth, took him to vis

it a girls' boarding school and this was

a thorough success.

MAKES PERSONAL APPEAL ALLISON RECENTLY BROKE THE STATE HURDLE RECORD AND FRIENDS THINK HE COULD MAKE BETTER SHOWING.

Carl Allison, the well known high

school athlete, who in the state meet

at Purdue recently broke two state high school records, and equalled the

120 yard high hurdle Purdue track record, has received an invitation

from Coach A. A. Stagg of Chicago

university to participate in the middle west high school track and field meet.

to be held In that city on the univer

sity track in the early part of June.

Coach Stagg accompanies his invita

tion- with a long letter of personal ap

peal to Allison to enter the meet.

He has not as yet decided whether

he will accept Mr. Staggs Invitation although his friends are urging that

he do so, as it is believed he can eas

ily win from all contestants to the hurdles. In the meet at Purdue on

Stuart field, he easily won, not being pushed by any of the other contes

tants, and still broke the state record. It is confidently predicted by Allison's

friends that when he meets better opponents he can cut at least one second from the record he has now made.

Allison is not in as good condition i

he desires to be. but with a week and

half of training before him, he be

lieves he can get back to old time

form.
