SURGEONS MAKE RECORD
IN EYEBALL OPERATION

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5.-One of
the most delicate and dangerous oper-
ations known to modern surgery, was
performed at local hospital when a
portion of Abe cornea, the transparent
film enveloNing the eye, was trephined
from the eyeball of a man employed
at the Baldwin Locomotive works. His
eye had been permanently destroyed by
a silver of steel, but the cornea was
uninjured.
The trephined piece was transplant
ed to the eye Of a woman who had
been blind from infancy. One of her
eyes had been removed and she could
not see with the other, it being af-
fected with neonatorum, the cornea
becoming clouded and absolutely
Opaque. The only possible way in which
her sight could be restored was to
remove the cornea and transplant
some transparent substance in its
place.
This was done by the operation above
described, and she left the hospital to-
day. She can now readily distinguish
objects a few feet away and surgeons
believe her sight will gradually become
stronger. The operation is the first
of it's kind on record which has been
successful

CLERICAL FORCES
CHANGE PROGRAM
Abandon Manifestation SChed-
uIed for Sunday at San
Sebastian
ASSOCIATED Press)

MADRID, Aug. SIT is officially an
nounced that the manifestation sched-
uled to be held at San Sebastian on
Sunday has been abandoned.
The Catholic newspapers will publish
manifestos explaining the decision.
simultaneously with the rushing of
troops to Sar Sebastian to cope with
an uprising which the government
feared might grow out of the proposed
demonstration of the clerical forces to
protest against the governments
stand in it's dispute with the Vatican,
Premier Canalejas today issued a
statement outlining his policy.
Senor Canalejas declared that the
demonstration would have been per-
mitted elsewhere than at San Sebas-
tian or Bilbao; in fact. that he desires
it to be held in order that its strength
may be shown. The demonstration,
however, has been abandoned since
the premier's statement came out.
The statement of the premier fol-
lows:
'I would have allowed the manifes-
tation if it had been announced to have
been held elsewhere than at Bilbao,
where a strike of coal miners is in
progress, or at San Sebastian, which
is crowded with visitors on Sundays.
PRIsEsTs SUPPLY ARMS
"I know that priests are distribut-
ing arms, and also that the manifes-
tants intend to bring women and chill
dren with them in order to prevent
military intervention. But l am de-
termined to enforce respect for the law.
Troops will be distributed at strategic
inf "a dc will haI1
for reinforcements. If my adversaries
want a lesson they shall have it. They
will be responsible for whatever hap
pens"
The government openly charges that
the scheduled manifestation at San
Sebastian was secretly arranged in
Rome at a meeting of five cardinals,
among whom were Merry Del Val and
Rampolla. The object of the manifes-
tation, it is charged, was to bring
pressure upon King Alfonso to get rid
of Premier Canalejas and appoint a
more friendly ministry with which ne
gotiations between the government and
the vatican could be resumed.
Both General Weyler the captain
general of Catalina, and Count Sa-
gasia, the minister of the interior, will
go to San Sebastian to be in immedi-
ate charge of the situation The gov
ernment believes the Carlists and the
members of the religious orders, which
are numerous in northern Spain, are
openly melting their followers to vio-
lence. The governors Of Basque prov
inces and the adjoining provinces of
Navarro today issued orders to the
mayors of all the municipalities in these
provinces to warn the Roman Catholics
against assembling or entering the city
of San Sebastian with arms and that
the most energetic measures would be
taken to repress any attempt at
manifestation.

NEW LIBRARIAN
WANTS BUILDING
Will Start Campaign to Make the
City's Books Popular
with Residents

Purd B. Wright, the newly appointed
city librarian of Los Angeles, arrived
from st. Joseph, Mo-, yesterday and
will take up his duties in this city i'm
mediately.
After putting in all of the day con-
ferring with members of the library
board and inspecting the central
library building in the Hamburger
| building, Mr.. Wright said:
LOS Angeles should have a modern
central library building and also
| branch homes for libraries, and I in
tend to bend every effort toward OBJ
tanning these.
1.-The library has ceased to be place
where only small boys and girls secure
story books. The library has risen to
place among the educational institu-
tions and gives advantages to men in
all walks of life who wish to better
themselves while earning a livelihood
1 believe the library is the place for the
architect as well as the shop mechanic,
and I know the board will help me to
help men who are anxious to help
themselves. The library is a place for
the people, of the people, by the
people.
GOOD WORK DONE
'Dur1ng Ine ldSL IlI66H years lllO
Los Angeles library has acquired
wonderful collection of books, but I
note very little progress in the library
building line, though I must say that
the officials have been doing splendid
work with the present rented buildings.
1.-The historical books on the south
west compose a very valuable depart
ment in the Los Angeles library, for
calls are made on it by many histo-
,,io Nv fho Pn Of
versity of Southern California.
Los Angeles owes it to itself and to
the library to provide suitable build
ings for libraries. A library is among
the most important things that can be
found in all progressive cities in the
United States"
TELLS OF BOND ISSUE
Mr.. Wright then told of how st. Jo-
seph, Mo-, secured modern library
buildings through voting bonds, he
having been librarian there for four
teen years.
When asked what system he pro-
posed inaugurating in the Los Angeles
library, Mr.. Wright stated that he is
going to mark time" until he is bet
ter acquainted with prevailing con-
ditions. However, he volunteered the
information that he will Immediately
start a popularizing campaign which
will enable many peaple to better un-
derstand the real value of library.
He is well pleased with the present
attaches of the library and stated that
all seem very efficient. Civil service
regulations govern the employing of
people at the library.
Mr.. Wright and his family are at the
Hayward, but viii soon move into the
residential section. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Wright are well pleased with the re-
ception accorded them.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN
SUFFER FROM COLD

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 5.-Brief
messages received from Juneau, Skag-
way and Cordova says there was no
panic when the Princess May struck
the reef north of Sentinel island this
morning, but the women and children
suffered much from cold in the small
boats, the majority having left the
sinking ship scantily clad.
Captain Mcleod and his officers took
the situation coolly and managed to
get all the passengers and the crew
away from the sinking steamer before
she foundered. The boats hugged the
shore until daylight, when landings
were made.
In the meantime steamers were sent
from Juneau, where the distress signals
were received from several sources.
The steamship Victoria picked up the
call at sea, and it was also heard by
the United States naval station at Cor
dova. The ships boats bearing the
survivors will reach Juneau late to-
night.
All the mail, including gold from the
Yukon sent as registered mail, was
landed on Sentinel island.
CAPTAINS REPORT
A message received tonight from
Captain Mcleod says the liner ran
ashore at o'clock this morning on a
reef at the north end of Sentinel island.
The vessel began to sink Immediately,
and wireless messages were sent by
Operator Keller asking for assistance,
until water flooding into the engine
room rendered the apparatus useless.
The passengers and crew were all
saved and landed on Sentinel island.
When the landing was completed Pilot
John Richardson was sent with a
boats crew to Juneau, where he ar
rived tonight.
The steamer probably will be saved.
Wrecking apparatus will be sent north
at once to begin salvage operations,
The foreh Id and engine room are filled
with water, but the vessel is not sub
merged.
A cablegram from the Skagway
agent Of the Canadian Pacific says the
company's steamer Princess Ena,
which was on the way up Lynn canal,
was advised of the wreck of the Prin-
cess May and was ordered to the scene.
