It by Subsidiaries.
CONTROvERSYOvERDlvIDENDS

Boston, April est was given out
late this, afternoon that Charles s.
Mellen, President of the New Haven
Railroad. had decided to testify be-
fore Commissioner Prouty of the
Inter State Commerce Commission
at the New England railroad hear
ing. There is reason to believe that
Mr.. Mellen is far from satisfied with
the turn events have been taking in
the hearing, and is determined that
the differences which the public is
drawing from the testimony Of Ex-
aminer David e. Brown. chief OF the
commissions staff of accountants,
regarding the financial dealings OF
the New Haven with its subsidiaries
can be met best by himself. If he
does appear he will be subjected to
REORGANIZATION by Louis ID. Bran
deis.
There were more sharp verbal
exchanges between Vice President
auckland and Charles f. Choate. Jr.,
for the New Haven and Mr.. Brandeis
at the hearing today.
More figures were brought out.
showing apparently that the New
Haven supplied money to subsidiaries
to enable them to pay dividends to
itself. The expert also said that the
aggregate payments made by the
New Haven to its subsidiaries in
June, 1911. were about SAL, 900 in ex-
cess of what the New Haven receiy.
ed from them.

A BLIND PHYSICIAN
Or. Jacob W.. Boiotin Of Chicago
Made Marvellous Record.

Chicago, April 30.-A rival of Miss
Helen Keller has been found in Chi
cago in the person of DR.. Jacob w.
Bolotin. whose appointment as at
tending physician at the tuberculosis
hospital at the Dunning Asylum has
just been announced by President
Mccormick of the county board.
DIR. Bolotin, who is only rs years
old, has examined $500 patients at
the Municipal tuberculosis hospital
in the last IA months and less than
so of them knew he was blind. His
diagnosis is made wholly by touch.
He can give the exact temperature
by feeling the skin and an exact
pulse count without the aid of a
watch He uses the touch system OF
typewriting. but cannot write his
own name with pen or pencil.
He is the first blind man who ever
took the full four years course in
medicine and passed the present IL
linois examination for medicine and
surgery. When he was graduated
from the Chicago College of Medicine
and Surgery he named nearly 500
out of 500 men in his class just by
shaking hands with them.
DR.. Bolotin was graduated from the
Illinois State Hospital for the Blind
at Jacksonville when he was Ii years
old, and travelled all over the coun-
try selling typewriters, finding his
way without assistance and making
good living.
When told of his appointment he
said:
This means a great incentive to
blind people. as 1t opens another
avenue of occupation"
DR.. Bolotin says he can take his
raised type books to bed with him
and read all night in the dark. giving |
him an advantage in studying.
