The Society tor the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, of Brooklyn, on Tuesday investigated a pathetic case at 7 Nassau street It was that of a little boy who, although five years old and strong physically, has the mental development of a baby of 15 months old. The boy is Johnnie Foulis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Foulis. Nearly four years ago an accident happened which, caused the peculiar mental condition to develop in the child.

An older brother was wheeling the lit tle fellow in his carriage, when he was thrown out and struck his head on the curb. For 77 days he was unconscious. "When he recovered consciousness he was found to be deaf, dumb and blind. Several physicians studied the case and little Johnnie became the subject of many clinical demonstrations and lectures. It was decided nothing could be done for him.

The fact that he finally recovered his sight gave the parents hope that he would eventually recover from the shock that had injured him. For over three years the boy has had the best of care. He is strong and healthy. In all his actions he is like a 15 months old baby, and has to be treated like a child of that age. He has a brother three years old, and the affection exhibted by each for the other is remarkable.

Some person other than Al. LaWSOU who is managing the affairs of the players, who agreed to play this week's schedule on the co operative plan, received a telegram from Manager J. Percy Stetler, of the Willlamsport team, last evening, as follows: "Cannot come. Am sorry. Was told to come, then not to come.

Made arrangements elsewhere." As Mr. Lawson had fully expected the Williamsport club to come to Beading today, he had, in fact, wired Manager Stetler that he would make himself personally responsible for the guarantee, an arrangement that was concluded on Tuesday evening, the message received last evening shows that the arrangements had been tampered with by some person. A i message was received from Tom Golden, manager of the Pottsvllle team, that his club would be here for a game with the Reading club tomorrow afternoon. In place of the Williamsport club the Beading team will play the All Scholastics this afternoon. NO GAME AT LEBANON.

The Reading club did not go to Lebanon yesterday, a message having been received from that city stating that, on account of rain and wet grounds, the game could not be played. FLOOD VICTIMS INSANE CONDITIONS SAID TO BE FAR WORSE THAN PUBLISHED REPORTS. Omaha, June 17. Rev. W.

H. Layton, pastor of the Central Methodist church at Kansas City, was In Omaha yesterday soliciting funds for the people of that city and Armourdale who lost their homes in the recent flood. Mr. Layton says the conditions in the flood cities are infinitely worse than the outside world has been led to believe from press reports. "To understand the awful conditions in the flooded regions," he.

says, "the outside world should know that they are driving many of the poor people there insane. The day I left home I saw two police man catch a hnggard faced woman who was a raving maniac. Personally, I know a dozen cases of this kind in Armourdale alone, and doubtless there are many more. "Only a few people have gone back to their homes. Practically every house In Armourdale.

a city that once had 16.000 hard working people, is ruined. Houses are collapsing every day. It is safe to estimate that at least 200 people 1. i (vt ii houses were washed down the river, and more'thnn 3.000 were, moved from their foundations." BISHOP FISHED ON SUNDAY. So Says Rev.

AMERICANS IN MANCHURIA THEY ARE WATCHING THE MOVEMENTS 'OF RUSSIANS THEREABOUTS.

Victoria, B. June 17. The steamer Victoria, which arrived yesterday from the Orient, brought news that a naval demonstration was being held in connection with the situation in the Far East by the Japanese and British at Che Foo.

The Chuo says the Russian naval maneuvers are going on in the neighborhood at Dalny. On May 15 fifteen Russian warships which were taking part the maneuvers sailed for Port Arthur.

ARMS PULLED FROM SOCKET STRONG MAN ALMOST KILLED IN TEST WITH HORSES. Sebastian Miller, a professional strong man, will be crippled for many weeks as a result of an accident at the Platt deutscher Volksfest at Ridgewood Park, N. when two horses he was trying to pull together almost tore his arms from their sockets. It is likely that he will never regain his former strength.

The act which Miller attempted was to strap himself to two powerful horses and drag them together by sheer muscular force. Two big brewery horses were taken to the park for the test. Miller strapped his hands into loops that extended to a stout harness around the horses, one on each side of him. A great crowd watched him as he strained every muscle of his powerful body, but tne horses did not budge. The crowd cheered, and the horses, frightened by the noise, started to move in opposite directions.

The grinding of the giant's bones could be heard Dlainlv. his face was drawn with pain until when he could bear It no longer he call ed for help. Men rushed upon the platform and stopped the horses. It was none too soon, for the man's arms had been pulled from the sockets and the flesh broken, letting thin streams of blood course down his arms. A physician was soon with him, and after putting the dislocated bones back in place, he allowed his patient to go tirnnf.

He is unaDie to use either arm. and the doctors say It will be a long time before he will be well. NEWPORT LADY BOUNTIFCLS. Mrs. Payne Whitney and Miss Natica Rives MakeChlld Happy.
