the Board of Health. chief of staff at Gouver-

interview. I'm which he said that there is an
imperative need of additional hospitals In this
city for the treatment of trachoma cases which
should at once be provided. Dr. Wootton said.
Trachoma never be eradicated in New
York, but its spread can be reduced if the city
will make the necessary appropriation to give
US greater facilities. What we need badly and
need at once are hospitals on the lower West
Side and the lower East Side where there are
thousands of cases Of trachoma. These are the
great breeding places of the disease in Man.

RACE RIOTING FEARED.
Trouble ON Staten Island Because of
School Children

A Negro uprising is feared by the white popula-
ton or Sandy Ground, village adjoining Rossville
staten Island. because of the bitter feeling which
has arisen over the refusal of white children to
share stage which carries pupils to the public
school at Bogardus Corners. mile from the Negro
settlement, with Negro children.
The trouble began a few days ago. when several
stages were operated between the two village.
which are near the road from Rossvle to Pleasant
Plains The stages were to carry pupils free to the
public school. which Is the only within radius
OF several miles At first the white children
tantlF rode with their Negro neighbors, but it is
sald that dispute arose among the children which
enraged the white pupils so that they refused TO
be carried to the school in the stage with tho
Negro boys and girls any longer. Both factions
ents. and it was suggested that Jim Crow stage
be run to the school during the winter. The Ne
groes then held indignation meeting. at which
they resolved to protest the Board of Education
which, they say, operates the stages.
The white residents. who are few in number
decided to operate an independent stage and bar
the Negro pupils When the separate stages were
decided on the Negroes became enraged that
they refused to allow their children to attend the
school. They declare that the drivers of the
stages are in league with the white residents and
that they drive slowly that the Negro pupils
are late for the morning school session.
The trouble has become acute that the white
parents fear allow their children outside of their
homes after dark. An appeal has been made TO
extra policemen to prevent trouble. The men of
Sandy Ground mostly oystermen who
ployed along Staten Island Sound and Pleasant
Bay The Negro settlement is the largest on Staten
Island A detail of police will be stationed in the
village until the difficulty is settled. In the mean
time both factions are planning separate routes

Lodi Ohio Oct. 31.-Sheriff Orr has been asked
to call troops TO quell the trouble between the
farmers of this county and the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad. On Tuesday night the farmers, one
hundred strong, pulled three locomotives off the
tracks where the cutoff is being built
through the county.
Twenty-Five picked farmers, all armed, then
camped out near the tracks and would not let
the railroad men continue building the line.
The trouble has been brewing for months The
farmers had asked the county courts for an in
junction TO restrain the railroad from building
the road across their property. The county COM
missioners obtained an injunction to-day re-
straining the railroad.
The work is being done by contractors. who
saw thev will continue work. and an armed con-
nict netween the farmers, who have dynamite
and the la borers is expected tonight. The Sheriff
has sworn in a strong posse to preserve order.
