MIDWIVES BLAMED
FOR MANY BLIND
CHILDREN In MO.

st. Louis, Jan. 9.-Neglect of mid
wives is blamed for the condition of
more than one-ffth of the children in
the Missouri School for the Blind, BY
the Missouri Commission for the Blind
in it's first biennial report to the Leg
islature, made public today.
Declaring that "this blindness is
absolutely preventable by the proper
treatment at the proper time" the
commission proposes revised statute
regulating the practice of midwives in
treating the eyes of infants.
The cmmission declares blindness
in Missouri can be reduced by at least
one-half through education of the pub
lie to its own need for protection and
the benefits to be thus obtained. It
urges the preaching Of safety first"
gospel for eyesight to the Small boy
in the street, the merchant in the store,
the workman in the factory, and the
mother in the home"
The report says an analysis will
demonstrate that the blind worker" all
occupations considered together, is &c
per cent self-sustaining, while the
blind shop worker is Is per cent. The
best output OF a blind man is only
two-thirds that of the average seeing
man. The product of the blind COM
pares favorably with the product Of
the seeing and finds ready market.
Every blind man and woman, who is
able and willing to work, and who does
his best, should be provided with 1926
to S1.5O day on which to subsist,
whether he actually produces this
sum"
The commission says there are in
Missouri approximately 2700 blind
persons of whom approximately $3.50
are white and 400 negroes, each class
about equally divided as to sex.
The commission says its work, "even
to the limited extent in which it IS
now being done, cannot be carried on
at an expense of less than $4,000
month OF $4,000 for the biennial Pc
Rod, and the larger work in which
the commission should engage, involv-
ing the establishment of workshops at
Kansas City in the immediate future
and elsewhere in the State later, will
demand an appropriation Of at least
$4,000 for the biennial period"
The commission is composed Of ].
D. Perry Francis, president; James c.
Jones, secretary and treasurer, Adolph
Michaels, Jacob Lampert, all of st.
Louis, and J. R. Lyell of Shelbina, Mo.
The commission was provided for in
1915 by an act of the General Assem-
bly,, to study the question of blind
relief and to provide for the care and
maintenance of the blind.

MANY coNaREssMEN BELIEVE
COMMITTEE WILL REPORT

ried BY Big Financial Services
Wanted-7aruch Denies the
Charges Against Him.

Washington, Jan. 10.--After anoth.
er brief session the house rules com.
mittee suspended public hearings on
Representative Woods resolution to
investigate whether there was a stock
market leak on President Wilson's
peace note. Many Congressman be,
lieve the committee will report
against an Investigation.
r. w. Boiling, a brother.in-law Of
President Wilson and member OF
+. A. Connolly & Co., brokers OF
Washington, was the first witness. He
denied he had anything to do with 4
leak"
Il have nothing to say" he said,
except that whoever is responsible
for bringing my name into this, Rep
resentatiye Wood, l believe, might
send me an apology at the same time
that he sends one to Secretary tn,
multy"
When did you receive your first
information regarding the presidents
note?" Representative Henry asked
When 1 read it in the newspapers.
Did you ever receive from any
source" Representative Barrett asked
any intimaton Of the presidents so
called peace note in advance OF its
publication" Absolutely not"
Amy other member OF your firm re
ceive such information?" Absolute
ly no member had any advance in
formation"
Boiling said he had no knowledge
Of any official of the government OF
administration who had profited BY
stock transactions as result OF the
peace note, and was excused after a
brief examination.
w. A. Crawford, head Of the local
bureau Of Central News OF America.
which supplies news to Financial
America, 8 Wall street paper, read a
confidential message he said he sent
to his New York office Dec. 20, say
ing that a note was coming but that,
according to Secretary Lansing, it
was not q peace note nor move for
mediation.
There was absolutely no leak in
our service, nor from any OF its eli
ents,' said he.
Representative Harrison said he
had examined the Central News tapes
for Dec 20 and found nothing indi-
eating that the confidence Of Secre-
tary Lansing had been violated.
Democrats of the committee,
which had spent four days already
conducting hearings on the resolu-
ton, with Thomas w. Lawson, the
principal witness, expressed the be
lief that no testimony so far justified
a further investigation.
1t appeared doubtful that Lawson
would be recalled. Four motions to
cite him before the house for con-
tempt were pending.
Baruch, who contributed $4,000 to
the last Democratic campaign fund.
and whose name has been mentioned
in the stories of money made through
"a leak" denied that he had any ad-
vance information whatsoever on the
presidents peace note, the German
peace proposals or Lloyd-George's
speech.

note reading, cone way" "twO ways"
or "three ways" These notations were
held by the States Attorney to show
the amount of protection money paid
by the places indicated and further,
the division of the graft after it had
been paid.
The Interpretation placed on the
Chiefs list" by the prosecutor was
that there was no division of the pay
ments, all going to the head of the
Police Department.
Before appearing in court today for
mally to plead not guilty tothe charges
of conspiracy, extortion and bribery,
Chief of Police Healey asserted his
innocense of the charges, as he had
done at the time of his arrest.
Other police officers were expected
to be served with warrants.
Through the morning the States
Attorney and his assistants made care
full investigation of the green book"
lists and other evidences which had
been taken form the men seized in the
raid.
Besides Healey, Martin White, 20
lice lieutenant, and three civilians
were arrested last night on warrants
charging extOrtiOn, conspiracy and
bribery.
The civilians accused are: Thomas
Costello, alleged gO-between and per
sonal agents of the Chief; mike the
Pike" Heitler, so-called king" Of the
former West Side disorderly district,
and William Skidmore, a politician
and saloon keeper.
They were arrested with Lieut..
White in a raid on CostellO's office.
Hoyne says they were engaged in di-
viding about $1,000 collected in "trib-
ute" Some of the money, he said,
bore the serial numbers previously
noted by his agents when it was in the
possession OF resort keepers.
Following Chief Healey' arrest at
his home and subsequent release on
bonds of 100000, HOyne and several
of his associates worked until almost
daylight interrogating possible wit
nesses and examining documents said
to contain evidence.
In the early hours of the morning
several persons were taken into Gus
tody in connection with the investiga-
ton, among them four women, said to
be keepers of immoral resorts. Wa
rants were issued also for the arrest
of three police officers, Lieut.. Edward
Grady, Lieut.. John Hartford and
Sergt. John Naughton, the latter b.
ing confidential secretary of Chisf
Healey.
