HORSES BLINDED
 TO MAKE THEM
 DOClLE FOR SALE

Chicago, June 26-That a large num- Der of horses in Chicago have been deliberately made blind to make them more easily managed is the report of agents of the Anti Cruelty society, whose curiosity was aroused by the docility of young and apparently nor mai animals. Warrants will be asked, today, for horse dealers accused of the mutiIations
 These horses have been blinded by men who guarantee to purchasers they will not shy and need no binders, g said Hugo Kras, superintendent of the society "A needle has been ja:bbed through each retfna- The wound is scarcely noticeable but a horse so treated never will see again. Peddlere in particular desire horses which are quiet and the binding of the animals has been put on Q. commercial basis
 Tn the South Water street market, yesterday, 50 horses were found that had been blinded, presumably by this method.

MOTHER BELIEVES HER DAUGHTER
 WAS KIDNAPPED

New York, June 26.-Although a general search is being conducted by the police not the slightest trace had been found, today, of Miss Helen Me- Carthy, the 16 year old daughter of John A. Mccarthy, a wealthy news paper broker, who vanished, last Tuesday morning. after starting out on an errand for her mother from their hotel.
 Private detectives were working on the case, today, but as yet have been unable to even form plausible theory for her disappearance. She had no money with her. Search of all the hospitals of the city has revealed no one answering her description.
 Helen had very few friends here, " said Mrs. Mccarthy, today, land we know them all. She seldom went out unless accompanied and there was nothing that anyone could call an at tachment. She had young girl friends but we have seen all of them. She carried no money with her on Tues day and we do not understand how she could have gone far. I feel sure the child has been 1ured away, per haps by some older person or else Kidnapped and taken away by force We fear she may have fallen into the hands of men and women who may do her harm. Hundreds of persons have been questioned by the police and detectives on the upper west side her photograph has been displayed but not one trace can we find of her We fear that some one, attracted by her youth and beauty, seized her soon after she walked out of the hoteL'

PROSPECTIVE WEDDINGS
Average For June Is Said To Be Be-
 low That of Former Years.

Marriage licenses were issued at the town clerks office today to Milton w. Jennings of Fairfield and Cornelia Crossman of this city: William A. Carlton and Nellie D. Keegan, both of this city; Herbert L. Hill of Stratford and Catherine Umstatter of this city; Harold Barker and Beatrice Blake1y, both of Bridgeport; Norman c. Greg orie and Clara Stenman, both of Bridgeport, and Jacob Schneider and Lilly Greenspun, also of this city.
 Although the marriage licenses are being issued in pretty rapid order these days the average for the month, as far as it has gone, is much below the average for former years. Most of the licenses which have been ts- sued during the past month have been to foreign born members of the com munity or else to the sons and daugh- ters of foreign born parents.

 Testimony already taken showing large expenditures by men connected with the sugar tariff fight is being studied by Senators and the report to the Senate probably will recommend a close regulation of similar activity in the future Witnesses have told of spending more than s150000 in the past year or so for publicity, salaries and general expenses of the educational and publicity campaign both for and against the removal of the sugar tar if.
 Expenditures of the beet sugar forces since 1909 were given as about $169 00o. Henry T. Oxnard's testimony showed that he had spent probably S2s0,O00 in Washington in the past 2s years in the general fight for the growing beet sugar industry. No evidence has been produced that any of the money was spent in an improper way unless the committee decides that the expendi- lures for publicity were wrongful

WOMAN IN Jim CROW TEST
Asserts Right of Whites to De-
mand Separate Pullmans.

Washington. Jan. IA novel Jim
crow" case reached the Supreme Court
To-day. when the Alabama & Nicksburg
Railroad Company filed am appeal from
the verdict OF tho Mississippi supreme
Court. which awarded Miss Pearl Morris
$500 for distress OF mind and body
caused by being required TO occupy a
berth I'm a Pullman car In which three
negro men occupied bcrths. The Missis-
gippl tribunal reduced the damages TO
5000.
No case OF this nature has ever been
considered by the Supreme Court. The con
troversy is attracting particular attention
because the Mississippi courts have inter
prctcd the Jim Crow law Of that state
as apulicablc To interstate as we'll as to
intrastate travel They Justify the statute
on the ground that it was enacted TO pre-
serve order by separating the two races,
and that disturbance is as likely 10 occur
on an interstate train passing through the
state as on local train.
Another point on which the case Will
serve as a precedent If the state court is
upheld Is that Jim Grow" laws requir-
ing separate accommodations on pas
senger trains mean that separate Pull
man cars must he furnished as well as
separate passenger cars.
Miss Morris had boarded train at
Vicksburg for New York. on entering the
Pullman she observed the presence OF
three negro men. She at once demanded
separate accommodations, which were re-
fused.
