BLIND, DEAF DUMB, YOUNG BOY PROVES
 ID BE WONDER CHILD

Tn Ernest Smith. 11-year- deaf, dumb. and blind boy. who is being given the identical course of study and training that was given Helen Keller. has been discovered child of amaz- ing talents. who, 1t iS predicted will he as notable a figure as the youn5 woman similarly affected. This pre- diction is made by M !. Collins. president Of the Missouri School for the Blind who six months ago took the boy out Of No Boys Land"
 boy. an orphan. who did not be long anywhere, to any person or any Institution. was brought to the atten- tion of Mir. Collins. who says the youngster will be aDle to make a pub lie speech in five years. judging from the way he is rapidly unfolding.
 Collins gives all credit to his future to Maurice Wolfe, wealthy motor car manufacturer of Piqua. Ohio. who has assumed the entire cost of his educa- tion- Butit was chance that briught Ernest to Wolfe's care-chance and Collins. who had made a plea through the press for the little boy who could notbe admitted to the school for the deaf and dumb because he was h31di- capped by blindness, and neither could he enroll at the school for the blind because Of his inability tohear and speak. which prevented him making any headway
 collins who IS on the governor $ staff in Missouri and recognized as one of the big men of the state, appealed to the legislature in his behalf. He asked the state to appropriate S2 OUU for its future citizen. but was refused Therefusal only tended to make more public sentiment for the lad, and Col ins' next plan for 20 bust1eSs men. headed by himself. to give S1O0 each net with quick response. An account Jf the boy and the action taken by Collins was read by Mrs. Wolfe. who ITged her husband to see the good Samaritan.

St Louis business men, which has i been turned itno a trust fund for Ernest's benefit.
 The waif who was picked up in the St. Louis streets is said by Collins to be the smartest boy he has ever 1 known. He has mastered some half hundred words. catching the words by placing his finger tips on the lips of the person who is speaking and the palm of the hand on the check in this way feeling the sound of vibrations. It is said that his senses Of touch and scent are developed to a high degree. and that when he once meets a per r- son and comes in contact with him he is sure to know him.
 The talent which the boy was striv- ing to assert before given an educa . tIonal opportunity will be emphasized now. according to those who are in terested in his future. Manual train Ing appears tobe his particular delight. and he takes advantage of every pos Sible opening. With the assistance of an instructor, he made a toy table recently which was perfect in all it's proportions and details While he was little wanderer on the streets, he found a tin can shaped like a house He managed tosecure molding clay and reproduced the little log cabin, even to the iargedent that was in one side of the can. He has nodded squirrels
 
 ulty of making friends with animals
 T have watched this boy said MT Collins, and I am amazed at the evil dences of intelligence and ambition thatare within. The stuff is in the lad. His ability to mold articles he finds in clay is wonderful. when you stop to think he is deaf. dumb anu blind. The gift comes to him naturally and the courage he shows gym nastic appliances gives you q creepy feeling to watch. The usual timiditv of blind children does not appear to interfere with his dash and go-ahead spirit The boy has much promise and will not he deprived of his opportunity to show his worth"
 Ernest. until he was discovered b. Collins, has, by reason of his great ac- tfVity and disposition toventure ey- anywhere. had many narrow escapes. Now an instructor is arranging his re- creation and pleasure so that he will not be attended by the dangers of in discriminate playing.

 The direct path which the local post of the American Legion will take will be the parade from the station through the business district to the city hal. plaza, and the meeting at the plaza, where General Pershing is to speak. The Red Cross has been delegated, as it's share of the entertainment, the luncheon for the distinguished visitor. which is to be attended by women only.

 Both Halstead and Ruder served in France under General Pershing, and their appointment as members of the committee is considered essential. All members of the committee, as it now stands, either know the general per sona1ly or have served under him.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Ninety-ei
per cent of the 125,000 union railway
nachinists voted In November to
strike with other trades in the event
congress enacted the Cummins rail-
road bill with it's antistrike proyis-
ion.
In making this announcement VIII
liam II. Johnston, president Of the In
ternational Association of Machinists.
said the vote was taken before the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee reported out the Cummins meas
IRE, and the result was not officially
published because Its association did
DOT want to appear in the attitude Of
attempting to threaten congress.
The machinists' membership is
around 10000, but not more than 1857
900 of this number are employed on
railroads.
President Johnston explained that
the strike vote stipulated that union
railway machinists would quit work
II the Cummins bill was passed by
both branches of congress, not by one.
when the roads were taken over by
the government the employees were
free" Mr.. Johnston said, land we pro-
pose that If they are turned back to
private ownership. the employees shall
be equally free. There is no necessity
for such drastic legislation as is pro-
vided for in the Cummins bill. There
never has been a general railroad
strike and there never win be. in my
opinion"
So far as labor officials are advised
they will not be given another hear
but they will keep up the fight against
the antistrike section, it was said, and
appeal finally to President Wilson TO
veto the bill If it should be enacted
with that clause intact.
President Johnston said that no
other trades that would be affected
by the antistrike section of the bill had
taken vote, so far as he had been
advised.
The whole question of railroad leg
islation will be discussed here at a
conference of the heads of the IA rail-
road brotherhoods, called by Samuel
GOmpers, president of the American
Federation of Labor.
1t was explained at federation head
quarters that the Cummins bill and
other pending legislation would be
considered exclusively. without regard
to other big questions In which rail-
road employees are vitality interested.
The brotherhood, it was said, prob
ably would unite in a general protest
against the Cummins antistrlke pro-
vision, to be sent to every member of
congress.
