got back to Washington to-day after
an absence of nearly two months.
With the exception of engagements In
New York and Newark and one in Gin

The President has not kept in close
touch with political developments I'M

The President began to get in touch
with department matters almost as soon
as he stepped into the White House.
Secretary Of the Navy Meyer was one of
his first callers and tonight all the
assistant secretaries who were in town

NINETEEN BLIND AFTER
GAZING AT QUEER LIGHT

Anderson, Ind. oct. 27.-Nineteen
persons are reported to have been
stricken blind as a result of gazing
at a light caused by workmen with an
electrical process on a trolley wire
early to-day. according to local ply
sicians who were called out of bed to
treat the cases, Blindness did not
strike some who saw the light until
several hours later.
John Hagel of Hamilton. Ohio, who
Is here visiting his mother. was play
ing cards in a lodge room. when he
showed his chair back and exclaimed.
I'm going blind" He was assisted
to the home of his mother n had
not regained his sight tonight. Prac-
tically all of the 10 reported to ply
sicians were kept In dark rooms all
of to-day.
Dr.. +. w. Chiettenden, n local spe-
cialist. stated that In each case at
tended by him the inside of the eye lid
was greatly irritated. lie gave as his
theory that the peculiar rays of light
given out by the welding process
caused the quick development of bac-
terra, already lodged IN the rNa, and
blindness resulted.
