prosecution in March. 1910, OF a
midwive for falling to report sore"
eyes in a newborn infant, in which
case blindness resulted. During the
trial, 1t was very apparent that this
woman neither considered that the
malady was of consequence. nor that
she was under obligations to report
such condition to a physician or
TO the health officer; yet she was one
of the best Of a class which are pre-
sumaby qualified to practice and are
recognized under the laws of Ohio.
A superficial canvass of the city was
made by committee of various or
ganizations whose agents visited in
the homes of the poor, and discovered
many midwves advertising and prac.

authority and the Cleveland com
mittee undertook an experimental

committee was composed of represen-
tatives Of the city board of health. the
visiting nurses association, the asso-
ciated charities and other organiza-
tions as well as the society for the

investigation in which 81 cases were
inquired into, showed that 75 of these

Columbus, o.. Feb. 24-The fate Of
Sunday baseball in Ohio will be set
tied Tuesday as far as the house is
concerned when the Greeves bill eliin
mating baseball from the list Of sports
prohibited ON the Sabbath day comes
up for a vote.
Another bill by Representative
Greeves of Cleveland passed yester-
day makes II optional with city coun-
ellis to permit or prohibit Sunday
base ball in case the prohibtive state
statute is amended by the Tuesday
vote. The first bill was brought out
to remove objections of some repre-
sentatives to the second measure
They insisted that councils be given
the right to decide the question be-
fore they would vote to repeal the
prohibitive clause. That the repeal
bill will meet with considerable op-
position was apparent from the argu-
ment on the council option measure
yesterday. Several representatives
spoke against Sunday baseball from
moral standpoint. Others declared It
meant a setback for amateur baseball
as played in Cleveland on municipal
diamonds
The chief argument OF the bill's
supporters will be that in any event
1t gives councils the right TO say
whether or not cities shall have sun
day baseball Another argument viii
be that the workingmen in cities
should be given a chance to see ball
games on Sunday, the only day they
have at leisure. The rural delegates
