RACES ON

I.NSO Counsel for Miss Lillian
Clawans, of Newark, N. j.. today
laid plans for a continuation of
her three-year fight against a SIS
fine imposed in 1885 in Police
Court here, after the New Jersey

the District of Columbia Jail to
serve out the fine, habeaS corpus
writ filed by her attorneys was
signed and she was released under

LAW is STUDIED
TO KEEP BABIES.
FROM BLINDNESS.
New Plan Would Compel
Early Examination

CHICAGO, May II GN.SJ.
Future babies in Illinois may be
saved from the tragic fate of total
blindness or death that still
threatened five-weeksold Helaine
Judith Colan today.
A new law was being drawn to-
day requiring exhaustive examina-
tion Of the eyes at birth to de-
termine the presence of glioma Of
the retina, the rare but dreadful
malady that has already required
the removal of one of Helaine's
eyes.
PRESENT LAW
Present statutes require the
bathing of the eyes in an anti
septic at birth, but it was hoped
that closer scrutiny would reveal
more serious disorders with a.
chance for prompt curative treat
ment.
AS a staff of doctors studied
the diseased tissue from Helaine's
eye to discover if the removal of
her other eye will be- necessary,
the tiny girl appeared to be re-
covering steadily from the original
operation.
Doctors expressed confidence
she is in no danger from the
after-effects of the surgery, but
were not so sure about curtail-
ment of the cancerous tumor that
has already affected the other
eye. 1t was hoped it could be
cleared away by X-ray treatments.
DANGER CITED
There was a chance, however,
the growth had spread along the
optic nerve to the brain and would
either leave the child mentally
deficient or cause her death in a
few months or years.
The case histories of four other
victims of the glioma who have
recently been operated upon were
being studied in an effort to aic
the diagnosis for Helaine.

Police Reserves Needed
At Mccoy Horse Auction
5000 at Benning
Block in Rush
For Bargains

Amid scenes of excitement, the
auction sale of horses from the
Col. Tim Mccoy Wild West Show
started today at the Union Stock
Yards on Benning Road North
east.
More than 5000 persons at
tended the sale, battling for
chance to bid on the horses. Army
officers, farmers from Maryland
and Virginia, members of the ex-
elusive hunting sets, horse deal
ers and the merely curious were
IN the crowd.
So dense was the mob that
they broke down the police lines
that had been set up around the
enclosure where the horses were
shown before the sale.
RESERVES CALLED
Capt. Hugh Groves of the Elev-
enth Precinct, who had come to
the sale with six officers, found
they were helpless to stem the
crowd, and sent in a hurry call
for reinforcements.
Finally Auctioneer Ralph Wesch-
Ter was forced to stop the sale.
Two teams of draft horses were
driven through the crowd, which
scattered, and enabled the lines
to be put up again and the sale
was on.
GELDING BRINGS $500
The first horse sold, a big dapple
gray gelding draft horse, brought
5000. The purchaser was L. B.
Bailey, of Silverbell, Md. A mate
to the horse brought SITS.
The first COW pony put up went
for $75 after an opening bid of
$40. The lowest price of the early
sales was $55 for a COW pony.
Horse dealers said that the prices
brought were very high.
The highest price for a COW
pony was $125. The purchaser
was declared ineligible because he
did not comply with the require
ments and post so per cent of the
purchase price. The pony was
put UP again, and brought the
same figure, $125.
Ten horses were sold in the first
hour of the sale, bringing more
than $1,000.

the little burst of applause. Then O-Nan-Sen
