POSTAL BANK BILL
TO PASS FRIDAY
Fioured Out Now That 1t Will Come
Up Tomorrow and Pass on
Next Day.

WASHINGTON, June S.-The first
product of tie new rules committee
of the house, cloture rule prescrib-
ing amendments and providing for
eight hours general debate on the re-
publican caucus postal savings bank
bill, was successfully put through the
house by vote of 100 to 139. After
an hours debate on the rule, in which
the democratic leaders grilled the re-
publican insurgents for their evident
intentions of voting regular again,
on THE two roll calls which followed,
it was found only ten republican in
surgents we're within the insurgent
lines. They were: Cary Cooper (Wis-
consin), Davis, Gronna, Lenroot, Lind
bergh, Nelson, Morse, Poindexter and
Pray.
The postal savings bank bill will
come up in all probability on Thurs
day, and will probably pass Friday
because of the limitation to debate
and the shutting off of amendments
The republican caucus wrestled with
the proposed bill for four nights. The
bill to be considered is the caucus
bill.
Following tcree hours discussion OF
the railroad bill, in which both the re
publican and democratic wings split
the final vote being somewhat mixed
house leaders on the republican side
of the house see hopeful signs in the
alignment on the postal savings bank
rule.

Wilbur Wright Declares That Aero

NEW YORK, June S.-The airship
race between New York and Chicago
and between Chicago and st. Louis
should begin from the western end,
declared Wilbur Wright, who was In
New York to attend court hearing
in the Wright injunction suit.
This is because of the prevailing
winds in the regions through or over
which the contest will take place" he
continued. Reports for a number Of
years show that the prevailing winds
in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and western New York are from the
west, not only in the summer and
autumn months, but most of the year
"The preponderance is greatly In
favor of westerly, as against easterly
winds. North and south winds are
seldom encountered.
"The records show that an average
speed of these winds at a height from
the ground of about $50 feet is fifteen
miles an hour. Near the ground the
wind speed is less, while at height
VI HUH I,UUu W f,uOu lSSe ~ Aiios
blow along from the west at about
fifty or sixty miles an hour.
sNow, in long races like those pro
posed this factor of wind will cut
big difference. Since the norma
| speed of an average heavier-than-ail
machine is forty miles an hour, If tht
/ race is from west to east the machine
will be helped along and their norma
speed increased by this fifteen nlil'
wind strength. If, on the other hand
| the contests start from New York
the average mileage of the competing
aeroplanes will be but twenty-five
miles an hour
Wright said he had no doubt tha
/ the flights would be made success
| fully and within a comparatively shor
time.

SIGHT MAY BE RESTORED
Marvellous Operation in New York
City Hospital which Has
Attracted Attention
of Surgeons.

NEW YORK, June S.-Through the
transplanting Of section of the cor
nea of the human eye, an operation
which was performed at Flower hos
pital, surgeons hope that sight will
be restored to Chinese merchant Of
this city who has been blind for years.
The operation, which was witnessed
by large number of surgeons. is
believed to be the only one of Its kind
ever performed in America. DR.. Won
Hippel an eminent German surgeon
and the originator of the operation,
however, has successfully transplant
ed a rabbits cornea into human eye.
DR.. Royal s. Copeland, dean of the
hospital, performed the operation.
When he first examined the eyes OF
the patient he found the cornea or
transparent coat of each eyeball SO
Opaque that the patient could not dis
tinguish night from day. Among the
other patients in the hospital was one
whose left eye had been injured SO
badly that it was necessary to remove
it. The cornea of this eye, however
was normal, and 1t was decided to op
crate on both patients at the same
time and use the cornea Of the dis
carded eye to remedy the defect In
one of the eyes of the Chinese.
Both patients were anaesthetizeo
at the same time and placed on oper
ating tables. DR.. Copeland stood be
tween the two tables. First a circu
lar section of the opaque cornea O.
| tho eye of the Chinese was removed
Four of the five layers of the cornes
were cut through The fifth was sef
intact so that the aqueous humor o
the eye might not escape. The sur
geon then turned to the other patient
and removed from the normal cornes
of the injured eye section similar
in size and shape to that removed
from the opaque cornea. This health,
section was placed in the orifice which
had been made in the eye Of the
Chinese and the eye was then band
aged and the other patients eye wa
removed.
