PHILADELPHIA, March 27.-Thomas W.
Barlow, Chairman, and Thomas G. Morton,
M. D., of the Board of Public Charities,
and committee appointed to investigate
the abuses existing in the Pennsylvania
Institution for the Blind, submitted re-
port in which they find that Mr.. Battles,
the principal OF the Institution, had been
Indifferent to the complaints of pupils and
teachers, and that he called those who made
complaints "sore heads" and "growlers.
In his Tuesday night lectures he called the
attention of the pupils to their dependent
condition and made offensive references to
their afliction. He has told them il thev

aged the institution they could leave, as it
would never be any different
Mr.. Battles discipline has been unyielding
and rigid, and his administration unsympathetic
He has had brought to his attention In two in
stances accusations against the moral char
acter of King, the prefect of the institution,
which he did not report to the Board of Mana
gers, though at least two of the managers of
the institution knew of such accusations.
GROSSLY IMPROPER MANAGEMENT.
He. or the managers sent to the Lehigh
county almSnOuSe Tor several years, during
vacation time, Mary Albright one of the
pupils under instruction in tine institution and
supported by the State-an act which the COM
mite consider gravely improper and ungener-
GUS, tending to pauperize the pupils and to de-
stroy the girls self-respect He has MAIN
tanned in the institution an unvarying dietary
system which became irksome and repuguant
to the pupils, teachers and servants and which
he refused to change. He has permitted a
common use of towels among many of the
pupils, some OF whom had diseased eyelids.
The food provided in the institution has in
many instances been improperly prepared and
deficient in quality.
The quality of milk given to the children has
been poor. The conduct of Miss Guiterman,
the assistant matron. toward the female pupils,
has not been in sympathy with their helpless
the fre-escape for hours in cold weather and in
the hallway in their nightclorhes, and upon
bread and water for successive days has been
practiced.
THE COMPLAINTS SUBSTANTIATED.
deficient Complaints as to bad ventilation in
teachers. both seeing and blind, are opposed to
Mr.. Battles, and declare his administration of
affairs of the institute outside of the educa-
tlonal department to be arbitrary, harsh and
cowardly.
The report further says: Public sentiment
appears to be the only forum to which they
could appeal. The managers of the institution
claim it to be a private corporation. The Gov
ernor of the State is all eX-officer and member
of the managing board but his name does not
appear in the report. There are no managers
directly delegated to represent the State. The
Board of Public Charities has no power to cor-
rect even the most fragrant abuse in this or any
public institution

Big Race.
George d. Noremac and Frank Hart two of
the prominent pedestrians in the country, ar
rived in the city yesterday to finish their train
ing for the approaching l42-hour race at the
Central Rink. Both were looking well. During
a conversation Noremac said:
well, Pm here to get prize. I don't say
that can win, but I'm going to try. I really
think that will be the toughest race I've been
in, because all the best men are training earn
estly for it, Of course Moore and Herty are
dangerous men, but we never can tell what will
happen in a weeks running. Anybody who
beats me must GO all the week"
Hart has been training in Philadelphia with
Moore and Howarth, and he said: There will
be desperate race with Moore, Howarth and
Hegelman. They are all in excellent condition.
Moore was never better In his life an0 he
thinks he can beat anybody. don't know any
thing about Herty, but suppose that he and
Guerrero are training near Boston. If either of
them can beat Moore it will surprise me. Ger
tainly Herty is a good man. But think we
are all in to make the best of it and that means
the winners will have to hustle night and day."
Two or three bets were made yesterday after
noon, at even money. that George Connors will
defeat Noremac in the weeks racing Connors
is in good condition.

cute the Players Again.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
NEW YORK, March N.-The members of the
Players League need have no further fears of
lawsuits from the National League officials of
this city; that is, as FAR as preliminary iniunc-
tions are concerned. Lawyer Duysters told a
DISPATCH reporter to-day that all the present
suits agains. the Players had been discon-
tinued, the step being determined upon i'm
mediately after Judge Wallace rendered his
decision IN the case of Buck Ewing.
But you will want a decision from Judge
Lawrence upon the motion of Wards counsel
to dismiss the complaint against himf" the re-
mo; there will be NO decision. That case is
ended"
Will you take any additional steps against
the Players Lacquer
Not right away. 1t may be that the New
1orks will sue the Players organization for
heavy damages at the close Of the season."
President Day doesn't feel at all discouraged
over the situation. In fact he looks more
cheerful than at any time since the unpleasant
ness between the League and players began.
In speaking of the decision of Judge Wallace
President Day said he was entirely satisfied.
1t did great thing for baseball, for it defined
the constItutionality of a contract. President
Day was asked whether the National League
would proceed against any of its deserters in
other cities "Yes; Mulvey, Delehanty and
Beckley will certainly be made to live up to
their contracts and the opposition clubs will be
compelled to give them up. There can be no
question about that"

WILL RAISE THE MONEY.
California Athletic Club Can Get $4,000
for Sullivan and jackson.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. March 27.-L. r.
Fulda, President of the California Athletic
Club, says he thinks Sullivan and Jackson will
meet here, and that the club will raise $40 900
purse
''Do you think it would be an interesting
fght?"
"Yes, 1 think it would be long, scientific
battle, for, with such big stakes and reputa-
ton added, both men would be wonderfully
careful"
DO you think it is likely to take placer
Il certainly do"
Hiram b. Cook, the referee of all big events,
was asked what he thought of the chance for
the meeting.
That is a very large sum of money, $4,000,
but they are very great fighters, and daresay
it can be raised. The club has about 600 men,
bers at present, and while they only authorized
$4,000 last November for this match, haven't
much doubt that they will be willing to see the
raise. The S. 900 purse for Dempsey and La
Blanche seemed hard to raise at that time.
But this is different sort of proposition. A
contest between jackson and Sullivan will be
regarded with the greatest interest by every
man in the Union, from statesmen to steve
doreS."
