8 PARENTS OF BLIND BABES Census Report Says That Consanguinity Is Cause of Poor Sight. LEADING CAUSE OF BLINDNESS. More Deaf Males Than Females in the United States. According to the special census report on the blind and deaf in this country 1900, which has just been issued by Census Office at Washington, one every twelve hundred persons 1n United States is blind, and one in every eight hundred and fifty persons is deaf. The inquiry was conducted under direction of Dr.

Alexander Graham Bell. The total number of blind persons WAS 64,763, of whom 35,546 were totally blind, and 29,118 partially blind, These figures, the report says, can be considered only as the minimum, as an unknown proportion of the blind were not located by the enumerators. The number of partially blind -by no means. represents the facts as to defective eyesight, but represents only cases. Of the total blind 37,054, or 572 per were males, 27,709, or 42.8 per were ulation females.

Since In the general poponly 51.1 per cent. were males and 48.9 per cent. were females, it is evident that blindness occurs more frequently among males. About 55 per cent. of the blind reported were totally blind, and about 45 per cent.

were partially blind. A slightly smaller proportion of blind males than females were totally blind. About 65 per cent. of the blind became blind 1 after 20 years of age, and only little more than 30 per cent. before years.

Thus it is seen that blindness chiefly a defect of adult life. It is interesting to note that about one-fourth of the persons blind from childhood, about one-tenth of the total number or of blind, were born blind. The most important cases of blindness according to Dr. Bell, were: Cataract; injuries, accidents and operations; congenital blindness; old age; and sore eyes. Unknown causes were responsible for a slightly greater proportion of cases than any of the above causes.

The principal causes of blindness ocourring after birth and under twenty years of age were, injuries, accidents, and operations; eyes; catarrh; measles, and scrofula. The principal causes of blind. oocurring in adult life were: Cataract; injuries, accidents and operations; old age; affections of the nervous apparatus; millary service; sore eyes, and neuralgia. Of the blind, says the report, at least 10. years of age, per cent.

were engaged in some gainful occupation, as compared with 50.2 per cent. among the general population. The partially blind, as would be expected, show a larger proportion gainfully employed than do the totally blind. The percentage of persons engaged in professional pursuits, trade and transportation, and in manufacturing and mechanical Industries is larger among the totally blind than among the general population. In about 5 per cent.

of the cases of blindness reported the parents of the blind were related as cousins. Of. the blind whose parents were so related 25 per cent. were genitally blind were only 6.8 per cent. In connection with the deaf, the report.

says that deafness on the whole is more common In the Northern part of this country than in the Southern, and that there are more deaf males than females. The total number of deaf was said to be 89,287, of whom 37,426 were totally deaf and 51,861 partially deaf. The age when deafness occurred is definitely stated for 81,590 persons, and of these 59 per cent. became deaf before the age of 20 years, 48 per cent. before the age of 10 years, per cent.

before the age of 5 years, and per cent. were born deaf. Of the totally deaf, 91 per cent. were so from childhood (under 20 years of age), and 36 per cent. from birth.

More than one-half of the totally deaf lost all power of hearing before they were 2 years old. of the partially deaf about one-third became deaf before they were 20 years old, onethird between 20. and 40, and one- third after reaching 40. The report further says that affection of the middle ear caused deafness in 72.6 per cent. of the cases, while the percentages for deafness caused by affection of the internal and the external ear were 20.6 and 1.8.

respectively. Of diseases which resulted in deafness the most 1m- portant is catarrh. JULY GRAND JURY SWORN IN TO-DAY. The July Grand Jury sworn in to-day is as follows: Foreman, Francis F. Burr, 574 Bedford avenue; George H.

CHICAGO, July Commissioner Bartzen this morning created a sensation In State street by stationing twelve policemen in front of the great retail establishment of Marshall Field Co. to warn customers not to enter tho store. An immense addition is being built to the Fleld establishment and the Building Commissioner alleges that the bullding and fire ordinances have not been aditional complied exits and with, rod such lights as in provision the for section already bullt.

The store management called upon Bartsen at once and an acrimonious discussion followed, (resulting Burtsen ordering the Fieldagents from his offloe, After a lengthy interview with Mayor Dunn, General Manager Simpson sueceded in having the order for the police to prevent ingress to the store revoked, and at 10:30 o'clock business was resumed.

Higgins. Although other Republicans discussed with Interest Elections Commissioner Michael J. Dady's sudden love for exMayor Charles Bohleren as a Gubernatorial possibility, and most of them expressed a curiosity as to Just what Mr.

Dady's action meant, Commissioner of Jurors Jacob Brenner, Chairman of the Kings County Executive Committee, would not make any comment about the matter. It was very evident, however, that he didn't think that Dady's word had much Mr. Brenner declared that the WAS heartily in favor of a renomination for Governor Higgins and intimated that he believed that such was the general sentiment among Brooklyn Republicans, Asked about the boom for Supreme Court Justice William J. Gaynor to head the Democratic forces, which has now Brenner assumed large proportions, ex-Judge said: "It is hardly necessary for me to say that Gaynor is both an able and efficlent man. I know as well as any other man what a powerful factor he would be in the race." Among Democrats, Dady's sudden love for Mr.

Schieren is regarded as somewhat, of a joke. The opinion was expressed that Schleren would not be candidate. Dady salled to-day for Havana. 'He will be away about two weeks. THE JAMESPORT BOYS' CAMP.

To the Editor of The Standard Union: Jamesport, L. July 7, 1906. On Monday morning, July 2, a number new campers arrived at the camp unof der the direction of the director, Cornelius S. Loder. They have bedh a busy lot, having entered Into aboat everything that could be taken up.

The first night a camper is not able to sleep because of his peculiar environments. Governor Tousey had well arranged a programme of interesting things that would cover the entire night, but at 12.30 every camper called quits and gladly turned into his bunk, Ag soon as supper was over a parade was formed and the line of march included the entire grounds; Many of the friends of the boys, including the colored chef and his assistants, were enthusiastically serenaded. The moon permitted the playing of games on the athletic field, and at 9 M. a new one was introduced by the governor known the "Four Bs" (baseball, basketball): then, at the close of this game the new campers were introduced to the "pump." No one but an "Old Jamesporter" can appreciate this fully. Then each camper tried a little minstrel and vaudeville performance after which all participated in an athletic meet.

The crowning event of the evening, however, was the introduction of a new society. known as the Ancient Order of the Fuzzy-Bu-Zum Zums. All passed safely through the initiation, Including the director and F. H. Collins, a New York attorney, who takes a deep interest In the work.

In some instances the price of feathers came high, but every camper was given the kind he asked for. On Tuesday varlous water sports were entered into, and the boys passed a very pleasant but uneventful day around the boathouse. On Wednesday, the morning of the Glorious Fourth, the camp was astir early, for preparations had been made to suitably, publicly and ethusiastically recognize our independence birthday. At 11 o'clock the party with their adult friends assembled around the base of the new flagpole, which has just been erected on the athletic feld. where patriotic songs were sung and addresses appropriate to the day were made.

The orator of the day was Mr. Collins. A great cheer arose when Ofd Glory was sent flying to the breeze. At the close of this service a unique parade took place, which, with other plans, completed the morning's programme. During the afternoon the baseball diamond, where a new backstop has built, was the scene of a contest in baseball between two nines of the campers.

In the evening the fireworks display closed the day. On Thursday morning the campers built a large float, followed in the afternoon with athletic sports, and in the evening with a straw ride to Long Island Sound, Mattituck and Laurel. To-day a large number of new campers are expected, all of whom will be initiated into the new society mentoned above. Great sport is an thelpated, for the chefs have agreed to become members. M.

P. SECRETARY TAFT TO SPEAK AT RALEIGH, N. TO- -NIGHT. RALEIGH, N. July -Secretary of War Taft will arrive in Greensboro to-night when he will deliver an address to the delegates to the Republican State Convention and others.

His appearance 1s regarded by many as the initial step In the opening of his campaign for the Presidential nomination. Secretary Taft will not remain longe enough to witness to-morrow in the Republican State Convention efforts that will be made for the control of the party organization in the State by the two warring elements. The "organization," or administration crowd, led by Federal officeholders principally, are in control of the machinery. But the "Insurgents," led by Congressman Black burn, are strong, and will make the best efforts to wrest the control and make Blackburn State chairman. SLOMEN HURT WHEN AUTO CRASHES INTO BICYCLE.

STEVENSON. a Quarterly Report Tells of Plan to End Bridge. Delays. Bridge Commissioner Stevenson's quarterly report to Mayor McClellan on the being done on the different bridges under. his jurisdictionwas made publio to-day.

During the three months which the report covers no steel construction work was done on the Blackwells Island Bridge, the Commissioner reports, owing to a strike of the bridgemen iron workers. He states that an early settlement of the differences is looked for. The work on the Manhattan Bridge has also progressed slowly. The work on the Brooklyn anchorage was hampered by the weather. The work is now about 39 per cent.

completed. Inability of the contractor to obtain sufficient material to pursue the work is also given as a cause for del "A total of 38,025 tons of steel has been inspected and accepted at the mills for the Blackwell's Island The average rate of speed necessary to complete the work in. the specified time has been in the shops and a large, amount of finished material 19 stored at Steelton and Pottstown. "Owing to a strike of the bridgemen only 150 tons of steel castings, 150 tons of nickel steel eye bars and pins and no structural steel was delivered at the bridge site. No material has been erected during the last three months.

The comtractor has in his employ detectives to watch the erected work and the plant on the island. "Work on the anchor piers is progressing slowly. The work on the anchor piers 1s however, about 94 per cent. complete." In his report on the work being done on the Manhattan Bridge, Commissioner Stevenson says: "Brooklyn Side--In connection with the Brooklyn anchorage contract, work has been continued during the favorable weather of this quarter, laying masonry of various classes and backfilling the anchorage. At the beginning of this around year there had been laid about 34,100 cubic yards of No.

1. concrete and pean masonry and about 520 cubic yards of granite face masonry. At this date there have been laid 43,700 cubic yards of cyclopean masonry and No. 1 concrete and about 1,830 cubic yards of granite face masonry. Some delay to the work has occurred through the winter months on account of inability of contractor to obtain materials of construction and on account of unfavorable weather.

The contract is now about 39 per, cent. "Manhatath completed. Side, -In connection with the anchorage contract, work has continued on the sheet piling, excavation, bearing piles and laying various classes of masonry. "The sheet piling to enclose the anchorage foundation was completed about the end of January. The excavation to a level where satisfactory foundation is secured is completed except in a small area at the southeasterly corner of anchorage where there remain about 165 bearing piles to be driven and a small amount of excavation to be done.

In rear section of anchorage back of the main archway the concrete and cyclopean masonry foundation has been laid to about elevation feet, and the granIte face masonry has been laid at the back on courses and In the front section of anchorage, on -the easterly side, where the piling is completed and satisfactory foundation haz been. reached, concreting was begun the 21st day of March, and has continued at intervals. since, when there have been materials of construction on hand. To date there have: been placed about 9,160 cubic yards of concrete and cyclopean masonry and about 144 cubic yards of granite face masonry. The contract now about per cent.

completed." The improvements which have been made on the old Brooklyn Bridge, Commissioner Stevenson finds, have accomplished much good. The new platforms have relieved the congestion at the "L' train platform, but the trolley facilities for loading and unloading passengers remain bad. partial reconstruction of the Manhattan terminal of the bridge railway was completed its says the report. "The new platforms and lengthened switching, tracks afford the railway five-car through opportunity elevated to operate freely trains at all hours of the day and night, except the week-day morning and evening rush hours, and permits distribution of passenger traffic over greater platform area. "Train service was maintained during the quarter free from serious accident or long delays.

An unusually large number of to surface car travel has resulted from delays the defective condition of the surface car? tracks on the bridge roadways. ly been Necessary repairs thereto have frequentonly partially completed, or deferred, because of public complaint regarding the suspension of surface car service while such repairs were in progress. The railway company has ordered material for a substantial renewal of these should tracks, which, when completed, remove, for a long period, cause for delays. Early in January the police force detailed to the Brooklyn Bridge was augmented by additional officers and patrolmen, and a successful effort made to control and curb the tendency to overcrowding and disorder prevalent at the bridge terminals, during the busy hours and' evening. To relieve the overcrowded entrance to the Subway, the at lower Park Row, passageway under loop surface car terminal is in process of construction.

Four new toll houses have been placed in position at the new Williamsburg Bridge and thirty shelters provided for the police. The added trolley slips and platform space are rapidly nearing completion. Of the Vernon Avenue Bridge, the report says: "The contract for the construction of this' bridge was completed on March 20, 1906, by the removal of the temporary bridge and the dredging of Newtown Creek at the site of this bridge. tramo at this bridge continues to increase owing to the great improvement matter in the service. especially in of time saved in operation of the draw span with the consequent lessening of the delay to traffic.

Favorable reports are made by Mr. Stevenson on the bridge crossing the Gowanus Canal in their operation, and that 1 they are not giving any trouble.

Claim Conspiraoy Complaints Are Defective In Not Being Specifio. McAndrews Forbes Company, of Manhattan, and the J. Forbes Company, of Baltimore, Importers of licorice: Carl Jungblueth, president of the former corporation, and Howard E. Young, prestdent of the latter, who are under indictment by the Federal Grand Jury on charges of conspiring to violate the antitrust la'w in supplying licorice paste used in manufacture of plug tobacco, to the American Tobacco Company at special rate, were up for pleading before Judge Thomas in the United States Circuit Court, Manhattan, to-day. Counsel for the defendants, H.

H. Burroughs for the corporations, and Ernest D. Baldwin for Jungblueth and. Young, fled demurrers. It Is claimed that the Indictments are defective in that they do.

not describe the combination or indicate Its character, but simply assert the effect intended by such alleged conspiracy. Further that they are defective because the day, month or year when such alleged offenses were committed is not stated, that they specify sixty-five, separate and distinct violations of the law as "our acts," in addition to the general ment, and that offers of the two companles are improperly joined with the corportions in the indictment, Similar demurrers were fled by Mr. Baldwin for Jungblueth and Young, but they are a little more extensive, as each official denies that as an officer of the company with which he was associated he could have committed the offenses charged. No date was set for argument on the demurrers, but it is more than probable the hearing will be had within a fortnight before Judge MEN SO BADLY BEATEN COULD NOT APPEAR IN COURT George Kelly, of 659 Bergen street, was held in $1,000 bail on a charge of intoxication in the Myrtle avenue court to-day for examination to-morrow.
