UNNECESSARY BLINDNESS.
Or. Lewis Thinks FOur-Tenths of Cases Need
Not Exist

IAN enlightened civilized and progressive nation
quietly and passivey. year after year, permits
multitude OF its people unnecessarily to become
blind" SAYS DR.. L. Park Lewis. president OF the
New York State Commission for Improving the
Condition Of the Blind. in a pamphlet recently re-
printed from the journal OF the American Medical
Association Chicago. The pamphlet IS entitled "A
Practical Method OF Abolishing the Cause OF One
Quarter Of the Unnecessary Blindness in the United
states" and is something that every mother ought
20 read
'.Four-renths OF all existing blindness might have
been avoided. had proper preventive or curative
methods been employed" DR. Lewis says but his
pamphlet relates particularly to only one-quarter
OF this unnecessary blindness. This quarter is
caused by the ophthalma OF infancy an infectious
vernl disease which attacks the eres newly born
fafanfs. and which. he positively declares, be
prevented from developing ey simple. safe and

tone of the meeting was cordial and
there was no open rupture. At its close
the labor leaders withdrew to confer
among themselves.
Calhoun holds that the appointment
of Worthington as an arbitrator Is not
a wise selection. as he would have pre-
ferred a board made up of men uncon-
fer no protest He indicated yesterday
that IL the selection of Worthington
was confirmed he would name Thorn

that he will take the Office now. In

Policy Holders Giver
Chance to Nominate
Their Own Man.

A proposition from Chicago was sub
mitted to the Traders Policy Holders
Company yesterday that occasioned
sensation and no little surprise. fhis
was, in substance, that the San Fran
cisco policy y-holders of the Traders In
surance Company should appoint their
own receiver to take charge OF all the
assets of the company, TO select their
own adjuster in San Francisco 10 deal
with the policy holders who are hre
losers and generally. to undertake the
administration of the affairs of the cor
poration as it's principal creditors.
This offer was made in letter writ
ten by one of the solicitors for the
present receiver of the Traders 1nsur-
ance Company, the State Bank of Him
OILS, which recently was named by the
court TO succeed Byron l. Smith. A
meeting of the directors Of the traders
Policy Holders Company was held at
once to consider it and to decide upon
some course of action.
Coming as 1T did after series OF
moves of puzzling nature the direc-
tors, several of whom are lawyers. did
not know what to make of the latest
development. For more than an hour
they sat in John S. Partridge's Offices
on Eddy street and talked the matter
over, but were unable to reach any
conclusion. The Importance of the
proposition made them think that they
needed time to inquire. So they ap-
pointed a committee consisting of w.
B. Cope, w. H. Humphrey and II. g. w.
Dinkelspiel, with instructions to report
at meeting of the directors to be held
next Friday afternoon at the headquar-
ters of the poliey-holders.
There is one leading condition in
cluded in the offer made by the solicit
tors for the receiver of the Traders
Company, which is that policies repre-
senting s2.000,00o face value shall oe
represented by the Policy Holders
Company before the company shall be
entitled to take advantage of the situ-
alton. The gross losses of the Traders
Company in San Francisco are esti-
mated at s4,100,00 The amount to be
represented to give the policy-h holders
a chance to select the receiver and his
assistants is therefore just about one
half of the whole San Francisco La
bility.
John S. Partridge says that in his
opinion the proposed move would be
ALI in favor of s.Ie policy holders
