if the occasion arises. She has done
this thoroughly several times. She

.F0RDS BUY RAILWAY
INTO COAL FIELDS
The Detroit, Toledo & Ironton
Taken Over at Price Esti-
mated at 100000.

,Detroit.-Purchase of the Detroit,
Toledo & Ironton Railroad by Henry
Ford and his son, Edsel B. Ford, was
announced by E. G. Leibold, secretary
to Henry Ford. The purchase price
was not disclosed.
Purchase of the road was in part the
outgrowth Of difficulties which Michi-
gan industries have experienced for
several years in obtaining coal from
the southeastern bituminous fields
Running direct to Detroit from the coal
fields, and avoiding the usually con-
gested gateways of Ohio, the line was
recognized as a big factor in the
states coal supply by the Michigan
Manufacturers Association, which sew
eral months ago had appointed COM
mittee to look into its purchase. The
plan was abandoned, however, when 1t
was found that dock facilities could
not be obtained.
Mr.. Ford then took up negotiations
primarily to assure his Detroit factor
les an adequate fuel supply, but
through contemplated cAteuSlou VI lCA
minals industries generally in the De-
troit area and those in other Michigan
cities are expected to benefit by the
deal.
In announcing the roads purchase
Mr.. Leibold declared that the price
was several hundred thousand dollars
more than was originally asked" add
ing that Mr.. Ford desired that no
stockholders should sacrifice their
holdings.
Some 1000 employees of the railroad,
Mr.. Leibold added, will Immediately re-
ceive the benefits Of the Ford wage
bonus plan.
1t was stated that the name of the
railroad will be changed, but that few
changes will be made in its personnel.
In providing passenger service 1t Is
intended, according to the announce
ment, to utilize the new gasoline driven
car of the interurban type which Ford
engineers have developed.
The northern peninsula property sur

EUGENE dies AT 81
IN Her NATIVE SPAIN
Former French Empress, Widow
of Napoleon III, Recently Re-
gained Sight by Operation.

Madrid.-The former Empress Eu-
genie of France died here. She was
ninety-four years old.
Death occurred from acute intes-
tinal inflammation. She passed away
quietly in the presence only of her
lady-in-waiting. Her nephew, the
Duke of Alba, at whose residence she
died, was in France.
Full imperial honors will be accord.
ed at her funeral. Preparations are
under way for the opening of Empress
Eugenie's will. The only member of
the family now in Madrid is niece.
Empress Eugene recently under
went an operation upon her eyes. She
had completely lost the sight of one
eye, and 1t was feared the other would
become blind, as all oculists who had
attended her gave her no hope of re-
gaining sight.
When the Duke of Alba visited her
this spring at her villa at Cap Martin,
she expressed longing to return once
more to Spain before she went blind.
The Duke, ascertaining from the doc
tor that her health would permit the
journey, arranged the trip, and they
left Marseilles for Algeciras.
After spending some time at her
nephew's home in Seville and having
visited the King and Queen Victoria,
the Empress, after spending two
weeks in the south, was induced by
her nephew to spend some time with
him at his home in Madrid, and 1t
was while there that the Duke heard
Of the wonderful cures effected by a
Spanish oculist in Barcelona. He de-
cided to see what could be done about
his aunt's failing eyesight.
DR.. Barraquen arrived, and, after
several examinations, decided to oper-
ate upon both eyes, No surgical in
strument was used, but a cupping
glass was placed upon the eyes, and
when in due time he withdrew it he
said to the Empress:
"Your majesty is cured and will see
once more"
After two days of rest she was able
to see and to recognize those around
her. She also was able to distinguish
small objects at a distance. Her in
tense joy and gratitude to the doctor
were indescribable. She said to him
''Thanks to you, I shall have been
born twice in SPAIN"
