Newark. n. J.. March 29.-Through
an operation by DIR. Wallace Pyle.
Of Jersey City. three blind inmates
of the almshoUse at Laurel Hill.
Hudson County, have regained their
sight.
The patients had been blind three
years. They were living in the in

the world again when c. r. Dieffen-
bach. chairman of the State COM
mission for the blind, and himself
a blind man. visited the almshouse.
Hearing that there were three blind
men among the inmates. he be-
came interested in their case and
induced DR.. Pyle to perform the
needed operations.
1t was blindness that drove two
Of the men. William Dougherty. Of
this city, and John Grum. of Union
Hill, to the almshouse when the
darkening shadows would no longer
allow them to perform their daily
labors. But both men are already
planning 20 return to their posi-
tions. The third man, wIadislaw

prove Action.
(By Herald Lensed wire.)

Albany, n. Y. March 29.-The
Fowler bill repeating the New
York State daylight saving law
was passed tonight by the State
senate by a vote of &c to 25.
This is the first step taken by
the State legislature to straighter
out the confusion and hopeless
mpddle which has confronted the
cities of the State since the time
pieces were turned ahead one hour
on March IS.
Passage of the Belts companion
bill in the assembly tomorrow
night by a similar slim majority
was predicted tonight. Should the
Governor sign the bill the State
will return to normal Federal time
before the end OF the week.
The Fowler bilf as passed. how
ever. does not nullify the daylight
saving ordinances now effective in
cities. but leaves the door open to
any city enacting its own local
ordinance.
The lash of the farmers of the
State was largely responsible for
the adoption Of the measure. The
agriculturaiists contend the extra
hour ofsdsyiight interferes seriously
with the operation OF farms and
milk da.ries.
