New York, Jan. 20.-Douglass De

/ De Grouche was entertaining friends
with one of his compositions when
his hands fell Imply on the keys.
he sat motionless for a NOM emit while
ms hearers wondered at the crashing
d1scord and the silence. He then be-
gan to grope for the music on the
piano. Making a motion as if to brush
something from before his eyes he
turned toward the company and ask
ed who had put out the lights.
Alarmed, his friends, among whom
was Charles o. Delisle, broker of
No. 81 Wall street, sprang to him. 1t
took only a half minute for them to
realize the musician had become blind
in a. moment.
DR.. Alfred G. Wallin Of No. 46S

street was summoned. He made
hurried examination of De Grouches
eyes end said the sight of both had
gone. He told the musicians friends
that the paralysis of the optic nerve
might be due to the rupture of a
blood vessel in the brain.
De Grouche, complaining of violent
pain in the region back of his eyes,
was led to Delisle's home at No. Clio
West One Hundred and Thirty-ninth
street. He remained there all yes
terday. Specialists will make an ex-
animation today to determine wheth-
er he will be permanently blind.
Late last night Delisle said his
friend imagined he could distinguish
vaguely between light and darkness
and felt hopeful that the specialists
could restore his sight.

ROOSEVELT IND The PANIC.

Roosevelt takes all the blame" for
allowing the Steel Trust to absorb the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company in
order to check the panic of 1907, and
he is entirely satisfied that he did ex-
actly right.
The appearance of the ex-President
before the investigating committee to
give testimony on what he did AS
President has no parallel In Ameri-
can history. Nor has Roosevelt, so
the incident need cause no surprise.
The details of the hearing were
lengthy, and Roosevelt has summarized
what he said before the investigators,
in signed editorial of the latest Out
look. Though Mr.. Roosevelt is now
charged with having been beautifully
bluffed by a pair of Steel Trust
sharpers, he Is not ashamed, lie Is
proud of what he did. He writes:
Nobody need feel either concerned
as to whether anything done in my
administration will be discovered for
the excellent reason that nothing was
hidden. II was not my privilege or
in my power to search in the hidden
domain of motive. My action was not
conditioned upon what | believed to
be the motives actuating the steel
corporation but upon the belief that
the action they proposed would
enormously benefit the general COM
munity at that particular moment.

steel corporations action was to alb

sales, of which there have been good

the statements of advertisers who
have used large space in the Even

it is the continuance of the sales
