STATE TO OBSERVE RILEY DAY FRIDAY
Poet of the People" Will Be Honored by a Grateful State. ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. James White omb Riley, is by accident of birth, an Indianian. His appeal as a poet is universal. Tomorrow the state of Indiana will Obnerve hla birthday. Riley has sometimes been called "th poet of the people." If this means that the product of his i?n reached the heart of the great average, then this Is true. If it means that he is not regarded as a great exemplar of poetic art then It is not true. For Riley, while his themes were often homely ones, his diction simple nd direct, his treatment purposely provincial, his philosophy lacking in complexity, his verse-forms uncomplicated, is still held in esteem for the technical perfection of his poetic output. Riley is an eminent example of the old aphorism that "poets are born not made." Without a foundation of a classical education he wrote not only flawlessly but with an exquisite lyric and musical quality that might have bespoken an acquired literary finesse. RUey Is the greatest living American poet. He is regarded with a peculiar affection by his compatriots that cannot be understood or explained to the sophisticated foreigner. For he translates the "welt schmerz" of humanity Into the language understood of the untrained as well as the disciplined Intelligence, comprehended alike by those who live In a more primitive environment and those involved in a vortex of less primal emotion. His simplicity of utterance, has, paradoxically a subtle appeal. Riley is more sensitive than a woman on the subject of his age. He hates to be old. He does however not give an impression of advancing years, or t least did not a little over a year ago When the writer saw him in his home In Indianapolis, although at that time he referred to his accumulation of birthdays with aversion. Riley, indeed, has an aesthetic horror of age. Perhaps there has been no worse bored celebrity than this great poet. He has been bombarded with attentions the world over. The same thing has been said to him a thousand times. His imitators have been many and nauseating. And it has resulted within the past few years, in almost complete social inaccessibility. No one, however, can be more delightful, more fascinating than Mr. Riley, when he is so disposed. He possesses a certain physical magnetism that compels love, as his poetry does admiration. And, it goes without saying, he is exquisitely funny, if he is in that mood. Riley has been literally deviled to death by the autograph hunter, of whom he made short work. Once, however, he wrote the following for amusement and gave It to the writer "There, little girl, don't cry. Vre broken my word, I know! And the name I swore I would write no more You will And set down below. Tou must accept it with never a sigh There, little girl, don't cry." NOTICES PRINTED IN MANY TONGUES Circulars explaining the principles and working of the postal savings banks have been sent out from the local post office to all parts of the city. The Richmond postal authorities are trying to interest citizens in the establishment of a savings bank here on the Fourteenth of October, and have prepared a special set of circulars to advertise the institution. The first circulars distributed were those printed in foreign -tongues. These were a considerable percentage of the entire lot, however. The circulars are print ed in Oerman. Hungarian, Greek, and Italian. The English copies were sent out later. Cards bearing information concerning the bank have been dis tributed over the city, and placed in all the sub-stations. Almost all the supplies for the institution have ar rived at the local office, the latest things to come being the blanks for keeping a record of the business trans acted at the bank. According to appearances at the lo cal post office, Richmond manufac turers are doing their full share in making the mails heavy with the an nual fall advertising. Announcements of local products are being senf to all parts of the world, aud it is estimated that almost as much advertising mat ter is being sent out of the city as is being received.

A MAIIIACJOICIDES C. A. Geis Ends Life at Insane Hospital.
Jumping over the ballustrade which separates the corridor of Ward M from the dining room at Eastern Indiana hospital and alighting on his head on the stone steps, about ten or eleven feet below, Charles A. Geis, of Brookville, who has been an inmate since 1909, sustained such injuries yesterday noon that he died on Wednesday night about 10:30 o'clock. The verdict of the coroner, R. J. Pierce, will be that the man committed suicide. The patients were being escorted from the ward to the dining room when Geis broke from the ranks and jumped the stone ballustrade. His injuries included a fracture of the skull, which induced hemorrhage of the brain, the immediate cause of his death. He was fifty one years of age. The body has been sent to Brookville for burial.

WINCHESTER TO BE PLACE OF MEETING The forty-sixth annual convention of the survivors of the Nineteenth Indiana Regiment held here yesterday was concluded by the campfire late yesterday afternoon. Winchester was selected as the next meeting place, the forty-seventh annual reunion being held September 17, on the fiftieth anniversary of the battle of Antietam, in which the regiment suffered greatly. Oliver Carmiehael and M. C. Marsh, of Muncie, president and secretary-treasurer, respectively, of the association were again elected to their offices. Resolutions were prepared by the resolutions committee and approved by the meeting. Reports were read at the business meeting and all were approved. The Nineteenth regiment was in the first brigade, of the first division of the first corps and was the first to go into the battle of Gettysburg. In this battle the regiment lost 210 killed or wounded, and 288 were missing after the straggle. Out of 760 samples of milk examined In London in three months, 106 were tuberculous, and the task of tracing this milk necessitated the examination of 8,715 cows at 102 farms scattered over the country,
ANYBODY'S RAG IS OPIIIIONJK CHANCE Says World Series Will Be Very Close Giants' Pitchers Are Best.
(National News Association) CHICAGO, Oct. 5 Frank L. Chance manager of the Chicago Cubs, who once met the Philadelphia Athletics . in a world's series and has just ended j a long spectacular fight with the ! Giants, believes, if New York wins the j National League pennant, it is going in ha anvhnHv'B ficht lloro ia U'hat ! he says about the world's series: BY FRANK L. CHANCE. Manager Chicago Cubs. The series between the Athletics and the Giants for a world championship this year is a toss-up. If I were a betting man I would allow the other fellow to choose his team, and take the other providing he gave me odds. That's how close it will be in my estimation. I figure that the Giants will have it on the Athletics in the pitching. Bender is a great twirler. But Bender is not the man who can 'come back.' He Is likely to go out and pitch a wonderful game in his first appearance of the series. But I do not believe that he can pitch as strong a game the second time. Coombs did not pitch a great game against us last year and I have followed him rather closely recently. He has been winning his games regularly, but the other fellows have been making lots of runs when he was on the sl;ib. This would indicate that he was noi at his best. Coombs, to win from the Giants, must pitch better ball than he did against us. Otherwise the Giants are sure todeteat him, for they have a faster and, I think, a stronger club thnn any one which represented Chicago. McGraw, on the other hand, has two great pitchers and four who are likely to pitch good ball. Matthewson is one of the most wonderful men in the game, and I figure that Marquard will be good enough to worry the Athletics. Wiltse is another good man who must not be overlooked. Then Ames, if he is at all steady, is likely to beat any ball club. I figure that the New York pitchers have it on those of the Athletics. On the other hand I figure that the American leaguers will play steadier ball than their rivals. McGraw cannot be as sure of his infield. Fletcher at short looked like a weak spot when the New York team was in Chicago last week. I do not believe that the Giants will run away on the bases. Thomas, who caught against us last year, looked like a wideawake backstop to me. GARFIELD SCHOOL ELECTED COUNCIL Student activities at the Garfield School are gradually getting under way along with the opening of the school year. Although little interest is being shown In football, very few of the boys In the school playing the game, plans are already found for organizing baseball teams next spring. Several of the students are practising baseball now, and the school expects to turn out many good squads as soon as the winter is over. The election of the students' council for the present year was the center of interest this week. In addition to its regular duty of acting as the medium through which the pupils make known their wishes to the faculty, the council will appoint several committees for special work. The members of the council for the year are from 8 A class, Tom Lyons, Russell Jenkins, Fred Watts, Logan Keelor, May Thomas, Elizabeth Gibberd. Helen McMinn, Helen Hall; from SB class, Orrin Draver, Ray Kinder, ElVert Hale, May Joyce, Gennette Krafcier, Mabel Loehr; 7A, Clarence Por ter, Talbert Jessup, Caroline Smith, Mary Iliff; 7B, Ralph Nicholson, Gor don Osborne, Florence Bartel, and Dorothy Henning. The school this year is making a feature of regular examinations of books, desks, and lockers. The teachers in this way hope to keep the place more tidy, and they expect to punish negligence in tidiness by reducing the offending pupil's grade. Mr. Swales will continue his display of fine Fur tomorrow at Knollenb erg's Store. Automobile Repair Work Our Specialty Expert Mechanics to Do Your Work. Quaker City Garage 1518 Main.

OF BLAZES Mayor Issues a "Fire Prevention" Proclamation Clean Your Houses. "Whereas, the Governor of the State of Indiana has issued a proclamation, setting aside Monday, October 9, as Fire Prevention Day, I advise people of this city to clean attics and cellars of their1 homes, destroying waste matter which may be combustible. (Signed) W. W. ZIMMERMAN, Mayor." The above proclamation was given out by Mayor Zimmerman this morning, but he declared that it will have little effect, as persons will not destroy old relics which they have collected, "even fhr the Governor of this state." The mayor even declared that he will not destroy his relics, which he has stowed away in the attic of his residence. The mayor stated that he believed fire insurance companies were urging the establishment of Fire Prevention Day. He said that the great property loss was in the business districts and not in the residential sections of the cities and that business men could not do much to relieve the present conditions, inasmuch as the amount of combustible material found in their stores could not be removed without handicapping them. But, never-the-less, the mayor said he would issue the proclamation and further suggested that the school board advise the teachers of the various city schools to place their pupils through fire drills Monday.

SPECIFIC CHARGES McNamaras to Be Tried for Death of Machinist.
t National Xews Association) LOS ANGELES. Cal., Oct. 5. When the two McNamara brothers John and Jim are taken before Judge Bordwell on October 11, they will be specifically charged with causing the death of Charles Haggerty, a machinist, with dynamite. Haggerty lost his life on the morning of October 1, 1910, j while working directly under the al- i ley which led from the Broadway into the newspaper building. According to the district attorney's office, and acI cording to the committee which in vestigated the disaster for Mayor Alexander, the primary explosion which resulted in the subsequent destruction of the building, c?5rred in this alley. At a conference between District Attorney Fredericks and his deputies, it was decided that the McNamara boys should be tried for the alleged murder of Haggerty. Almost every other victim of the disaster met death while attempting i to escape from the building, Haggarty being the only person who met death as the direct result of the explosion. By proceeding upon this hypothesis, the district attorney believes the de- ' tense will be unable to prove that ' either fire or fall or suffocation caus- ! ed the machinist's death. " t. 1 When notified of this decision,' the lawyers representing the two McNamara brothers, determined that the defendants would ask to be tried jointly. As the time for the trial approaches, lawyers on both sides are taking turns to secure a few days of rest.
