INDIANS MADE BLIND
BY DREAD TRACHOMA
tuberculosis Reaps Heavy
Harvest Also, Public Health
Service Shows.

The prevalence of Contagious and in
fictitious diseases among Indians is the
subject of report of the United States
public health service just made public
which deals with one of the most ex-
haustive investigations ever made by the
government to determine health condi-
tons among the Indians of this coun-
try This investigation was made at
the direction of Congress, which ap-
propriated $4,000 to carry on the work
last April. The report deals principally
with trachoma, which is responsible
for the great amount of blindness among
Indians: tuberculosis, the death rate of
which is heavy among these people
each year, and smallpox, which occasion
ally makes it's appearance on the reser-
vations.
There was examined total of 39,231
Indians at all the reservations and nom
reservation boarding schools, and of this
number s,s4o were found to have ira.
choma. Accepting 322,715, the figures of
the Indian Office, as the total Indian
population in the United States. it is
seen that approximately one-eighth of
this number were examined. If this
rate of infection prevails among In
dams generally. it may be conservative
Iy estimated that there are 1897 cases
of trachoma among this class of popula-
ton.
White Plague Death Rate.
The investigation showed that among
some of the Indian tribes the death rate
from tuberculosis is very high and that
immediate adoption of measures for the
relief of the situation is warranted.
Smallpox was found TO be little preva-
lent among Indians at the present time.
Evidence was found that the Indian pop
ulation is vaccinated with approximately
as great degree of thoroughness as the
rural white population.
The report contains many suggestions
which. it is believed. will greatly aid in
improving sanitary conditions among In
dians. 1t is recommended that every
effort be made to improve the Indians
economic status by teaching him to be-
come self-supporting. Motion picture ma
chimes and home instruction are recon-
mended as a means of teaching personal
and domestic hygiene. Overcrowding
should be avoided by restricting each
house to the use of one family. The
employment of more medical officers and
closer sanitary inspections of all reserva-
tions and Indian schools also are recon-
mended.

DR.. William Osborne Mcdowell of Newark,
N. J., organizer of both the Sons and
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, who is in Washington in connection
with the work of the League of Peace,
| of which he is president, is credited with
| being one of the most active workers in
warding misfortune from the family Of
this man of international prominence and
tells an interesting story in connection
with it.
Called by Cleveland.
The incidents related by DR.. Mcdowell
took place on the day of Gen. Logan
funeral On that day he had come down
from his home at the request or Grover
Cleveland then President. Mr.. Cleveland
wished to get a report from DR.. mellow
ell on the practical workings Of the inter-
state commerce commission. provision
for which had recently peen fnaue ps
Congress. Mr. Cleveland offered the first
appointment as commissioner to Dr. NC
DoweI. but the press of other business
forced him to decline this honor.
That night he was dining Win nuuel'

who later became the first editor OF the
New York Press, and Capt. George r.

which was SO heavily mortgaged that the
family could not possibly keep possession
of it.
Situation Is Deplored..
DR.. Mcdowell was much impressed
with. the information given him by his
friend, and the three men agreed that
it was a deplorable thing that the family
of so great public man should be left
practically destitute.
After thinking it over. for time. DR..
Mcdowell suggested that the three at
the table send a telegram to Norman
Green, then president of the western
Union, and request the free use of the
wires for twenty-four hours in order
that they might try to raise funds sum
cient to cancel the mortgage on "Calu-
met Place. This plan was acted on
Immediately. and before they had fin
shed dinner reply was received from
Mr. Green, giving them full permission
&c. use the wires all over the country for
-saessa ges and replies.
Many dispatches were sent out that
night, to great financiers reputed to be
patriotically generous. and nearly every
one replied Immediately, most of the re-
plies bringing large contributions The
consequence was that inside of the
twenty -four hours a fund of more than
$40, coo had been received ample to give
the Logan family full possession of their
home, where Mrs. Logan continued to
live for number of years.

provement in the local team is not
shown Immediately.
| T has been said and printed often
this season that the Turtles are
unique because they looked so COM
petent when they were winning and
so incOmpr ent when they were los
ing But is that a fact? Take the
box scores and the details of the
games unreeled this season and
careful scrutiny will prove that even
In theiI victories the Turtles have
often shown weakness. That these
weaknesses passed unnoticed was due
to the fact that a victory covers
multitude Of mental and physical
errors
Analysing the games in which the
locals have been returned winner, one
arrives at the conclusion that most Of
these victories have been due more to
"eaknesses on the part of opposing
teams than to the superior strength
and ability Of the homelings.
Games in which the local aggrega-
ton has unCorked a really high class
brainy and competent brand of the
national pastime are exceptions. They
could almost be enumerated on the
fingers OF a one-armed man.
But at that there is no gainsaying
that the Turtles are capable of play

question that has been puzzling fans

sons have been given, but the most

~ HICAGO, July 14.-When Willie
I Richie reaches Chicago, osten-
sibly to rest and renew old &C
quaintances, he'll find that he has Sc
lected a miserable spot, in so far as a
resting place is concerned.
There won't be any rest for him, for
Packey Mcfarland, who in the last
year has become a bitter ring rival Of
the lightweight champion, plans to
lombard him with all sorts of why's
and why nots. What Packey will de-
mand is a match, and the stockyards
asserts he won't give
Richie a minutes rest until he gets a
definite answer.
1874 Would Suit Packey.
Richie will not be permitted to
hide behind the excuse that McFar-
land isn't a legitimate lightweight.
Packey asserts that Willie let down
the bars to Rivers and sees no ap-
parent reason why he shouldn't be
given a match at 1874 pounds ringside.
the weight at which Richie defended
his honors against the Mexican on the
Fourth of July. Packey says he is
capable of boxing with his full fight
ing strength at that weight, despite
all reports to the contrary, and will
back up his assertion with real, cash
money.
Nobody can tell me that I wouldn't
draw more money with Richie in a
championship match than any other
lightweight in the country" Packey
said to-day. I'VE could draw a big
ger house than if he fought Cross,
Britton and Tommy Murphy all in
the same day. That's saying quite a
mouthful, but it's the truth.

pended by President Kavanaugh.

day.

Bill Smith this is the part he played
in the affair

C. Russell. of this city knocked
Johnny Lore, Of New York, through
the ropes in the eleventh round of
their scheduled twenty round fight at
McDonoughville yesterday after
noon and Lore was counted out be-
fore he could get back into the ring,
Just as Lore crashed through the
ropes and out among the speCta-
tors the referee began the count, and
before Lore could get back he had
reached ten" He officially accred-
tied Russell with a knockout.
Lore was not in reality knocked
out. He would have been able to
continue the fight although Rus

Mcfarland Ready to Box Richie
Agrees to Make 134 for Champ

about a championship match. I'm
going to get recognition from Richie
who finds a hard time making the
lightweight limit, or know the reason
why. First l was matched to box Bat
Nelson when he held the title. Arti-
cles were signed and everything was
set. Then Nelson crawled. He refused
to box me.
Then Wolgast Dodged Him.
Then came Wolgast. He managed
to escape fighting me with a lot of
talk that l couldn't make the weight.
We came near being matched dozen
times. The coast promoters were
jumping over themselves to land the
match, but with the usual result
Wolgast got away.
with Richie it is a different story.
He can't yelp about the weight, for
he's a big lightweight and was forced
to acknowledge it. He and l are in
the same boat as regards weight, and
If he gets away from me l certainly
will be a. bewildered Irishman.
honestly can't see how he can side
stepme."
The lightweight champion was due
in Chicago to-day, but advised his
friends that business had detained
him in San Francisco, and that he
would be unable to start East before
another week.
Taking Life Easy Now.
Mcfarland is living the life Of a
person possessing a sprinkling can
full of money these days. Packey is
burning up the bOulevards with his
new motor car taking short trips in
the country, and having the time of
his life. He says that he will be
ready to enter the ring again with
the return of cooler weather, and
hopes to land a Labor Day match with
Richie on the coast.

besides she has the natural qualifica-

For her own pleasure she does the
d,tntiest china painting but she likes
especially we'll the more practical sloyd
work and sewing of the public school
course
In their manual training club the boys
worked from. blue prints, and some of
their pocket knife work was remark
ably good. 1t was good enough to be
the means OF converting some who
had hitherto doubted the wisdom of teach
ing manual training in the public schools
One attractive thing OF which they made
number OF models, was pen rack. The
boys used these afterwards on their desks
at school. The girls were taught to fell
seams. to bind. to roll hens and to whip
lace at the same time. Each girl stamped
and ebroidered a shirt waist and collar.
Beside this work the students made the
side screens, or panels, which were re-
quired for setting the stage for the plays
at the close Of school.s The &irls made
some tissue paper dresses which were
used on the same occasion. Among other
things needed in the plays was street
