SIGHT RESTORED

Harris, ma :hinst. Il - the Medicu-
Chirurgical Hoa'ital. today, his
sight restored Ivy one of the most
daring operations ever attempted
The tissues from the ey' of another
man were gra';cl or the eye g.,
Harris.
Harris lost his sight when his
eyes were burned in bareback from
the furnace in the shop in which he
was working. Following the acci-
dent, the eyeball had only glazed
white surface 1t was predicted he
would be blind for life,
Six months ago Harris went to
the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital. 1t
was arranged that when a patient
came to the hospital with an eye 50
badly injured that it had to be re-
moved, Harris would be summoned
On May 81 a patient arrived, His
eye had been punctured,
Before it was taken out Harris
was summoned and was placed on
the operating table near the man
whose eye had to be removed. The
eye was taken from the injured man
and the eyeball stripped of the tis-
sues, and these were placed over the
sightless pupils Of Harris .t'
The eye upon which the expert
ment was tried was bandaged, and
Harris was kept in a dark rom for
eight days. On the ninth day the
bandage was removed and Harris
could see q little from the eye oper-
ated upon. ~~
Harris is still at the hospital,
awaiting the arrival of another pa
tient who must lose an eye. When
this patient arrives an operation
upon the second eye will be perform
ed and the doctors think Harris
will then be able to see about as we'll
as he ever did

TAFT FORCES CONFIDENT
Declare Roosevelt's Presence is an
Admission Of Certain Defeat
by His Forces

Chicago, June 14.--Col. Roose-
yelt's actual start from New YORK,
this afternoon, to inject his own per
sonality into the situation surround
ing the battle of delegates to the
Republican National convention,
was practically the only topic of con-
versation after the fact became
known. The probable effect OF his
arrival and presence here upon his
own candidacy was the subject or
forecast and comment as various as
the Identities OF the speaker.
To the Taft leaders the announce
ment OF Roosevets coming was in
the nature OF "a red rag to the bull. !"
Director Mckinley Of the Taft cam
paign issued a statement soon after
Rooseyelt's Staging became known,
in which he declared unequivocally
that certain Taft strength was 594
delegates, 54 more than enough for

Taft leaders declared Rooseyelt's
. coming was the surest possible in
dication of desperation and acknowl-
edgement Of defeat
Roosevelt Total Short2
He asserted that at conference
of the Roosevelt people, held Thurs
day afternoon, their most optimistic
figuring showed Roosevelt a toal OF
7S votes short of the necessary $40.
More significant was the table o:
delegate figures which accompanied
the Mckinley statement-the 594
delegates which he listed in the Taft
column included al of the contested
delegations, Ga in number, from
Texas, Virginia and Washington,
upon whose case the national con-
mittee Sill has 10 pass.
F., About the same time rumors Were
cur rent everywhere that the Taft
majority on the committee had de-
cided definitely to give Taft every re-
naming vote within its power from
the contests still pending before the
committee.
Early in the evening it was ex'
pected that a more or less form ;.
caucus of a Majority would be neId
before the night was over, to adopt
this as a definite poll y.

TRAPPERD|ESAND
BEARS DRAG BODY
FROM HIS CABIN
Believed to Have Shot Himself by
Accident and Staggered
to Home

Columbia Falls, Mont, June ID
The body of a man found in the
North Park country has been iden-
titled as that of Edward Link,
known among his associates as
Slim" Mr.. Link left Ike Chances
cabin May 4 to do some trapping
on Kushenehn Creek, in Canada,
taking a dog with him. The dog re-
turned May IA, arousing the suspic-
ion that harm had befailen Link.
Ike Chance and Mr. McGill set out
for the cabin on the Kushenehn,
where the had been camping. Food
was found on the table covered with
mildew. The dog seemed disturbed
on approaching the cabin and whin-
ed piteously The men found In the
cabin Links overalls and two shirts
blood-stained and with bullet hole
in each garment below the waist
line. Blood stains were also found
upon the bed and floor About 200
yards from the cabin were found his
hip bones, and short distance from
this was the skull.
A bear pen was found about so
feet from the cabin, in which his re-
volver was lying. Two nails driven
in log lying across the entrance
and string nearby showed that the
revolver was set with muzzle tilted
upward, so that any attempt Of a
bear to get at the bait would pull
the trigger.
1t is supposed Link went out to
the pen without his shoes, as they
show no signs of blood, to get his
revolver, and bending over to un-
fasten It, accidentally discharged 1t,
the bullet entering his own body,
Evidently he returned to the cabin
after he was shot, removed his
clothes and fell upon the bed, where

Chicago June 14.--President
Taft today received six delegates at
the hands of the Republican Ma

forces Of Col Roosevelt, To that
number the Committee added eight
by the settlement of local fights be-
tween Taft rival delegations. OPP

When the Committee adjourned
at 2:50 o'clock, this afternoon, the
Texas, Virginia and Washington
contests remained as the struggles
in which the Roosevelt leaders are
to center their strength tomorrow.
UUp to tonight the Committees la
Dor resulted as follows:

Partisan Feeling Absent.
None of the contests today
brought out the strong partisan
feeling that has characterized many
of the arguments and decision IN the
committee room. In three districts
where Roosevelt contestants ap-
peared, the Colonels partisans on
the committee voted against the
seating of the Taft delegation, but
the only strong comment was on the
Mint, Tennessee, which Frances J.
Heney asserted was "clean steal. -
A contest from Alaska that had
not figured in the Committees list
was disposed of without argument,
just before adjournment. Creden-
tials from a contested delegation,
elected at Valdez, May 80, had been
received by Secretary Hayward, but
the Committee declined to consider
them.
