He seldom failed to participate in the discussion of any measure affecting governmental policies.
 Naturally MT.

Vvh ether or not this was true in the main, 1t can be said in fairness that some of these assertions gained and held cur currency because it was hds policy never to defend himself against pulp lished attacks. He rarely permit ted himself to be quoted by the press
 The fact that his daughter was married to a son Of John D.

 GIRL ENTERS CAME AND
 MAY LOsE SIGHT OF EYE

Desire to participate in the nation al game yesterday caused three-years- old Mildred Wingrum, 173 Lexington avenue, severe injury to the ege es. Boys were playing ball in her neigh lborhood and the a pitcher had just thrown a swift ball when Mildred tried to run in front of the batter. The swing of the bat struck her di- .rect1y across the right eye, causing a-deep laceration and hemorrhage of the eye ball. Emergency hospital treatment was rendered by pr. J. F.. Canavan and it is hoped that her eye may be saved.
