PAGE EIGHT lhe Voice of the Sea Called AM Heeding, He Forsook All NEW YORK. July 31.—Calling —Calling—Calling. Old salts say that the call of the sea to the sailor is never stilled. II ■ who has once felt the sting of salt spray whipped into his face by the gales of the seven seas; who has been lulled to sleep by the howling voice of the hurricane will sooner or later answer the call. Down in Broad Street Hospital, New York City, sits a vacant-eye 11 man of 55 who gazes out across the dingy walls and towering spires of Manhattan. Though the hospital faces the broad reaches of the bay, and from its seaward windows may be seen the shipping of a world's greatest port, the man is. denied such a view. An inside room ,cut off from all association or sugges tion of the sea, is his portion. For the man is John N. Neubert, one-time sailor of the sea path, lat er wealthy real estate dealer of Flint, Mich., and now heeding the cal) of the sea and once more John N. Neubert, seaman. And bespect acled doctors are endeavoring to wean Neubert’s mind back from the days of his youth, to restore the memory that amnesia has robbed him of. They keep from him all sights and sounds that might remind him of the sea. Friends of his life ashore visit him and endeavor to recall to the clouded mind the in valid wife that awaits him in Flint —the beloved adopted daughter— his Mary. Neubert struck inland just 27 years ago. Landing at. Flint, ho be came steward in a deaf and dumb institution. Saving his money, he finally entered the real estate busi ness. He became president of a large real estate company in Flint. He rose high in’the Masonic order, joined the Kiwanis Club, and in gen eral forgot the sea. Then on July 4, he walked out of a hospital in Ann Arbor, Mich., for his home. He had been treated for a slight paralytic) stroke, aftermath of an attack of yellow fever in India back in his sea-faring days. As he walked out, something snapped in his mind—and John N. Neubert be came the sailor again. He had S4OO in his pockets. What happened then and where he went, he probably will never know. It was on July 9 that he walked into the Seaman’s Christian Association in New York. There he registered as John Neubert, and on asking for quarters was assigned them in the association annex. Neubert. curious ly, was repeating the very things he used to do 27 years ago. Just as in his youth, he hung around the seamen’s institute. Pre sumably he did then as he used to t do—strolled about, inspecting the show windows, maybe taking in :• show, watching ships and swapping yarns with' waterfront sailors. The next morning he came in and asked the clerk at the institute, “Who am I?” The clerk, knowing sailors, remarked briefly, “Go to bed.” The man thought he was In toxicated. Up to July 10, Neubert stayed at the’institute. That day .early in the morning, a policeman in the harbor section noticed a man’s peculiar ac tions. He spoke to him, and, struck by his strange dazed condition, took him to the station. That was the beginning of the return of Neubert, sailor, to Neubert, business man. From the station he was taken to the Broad Street Hospital, where he is getting his “land legs” again. Friends are to take him back to Flint where it is hoped that his mind will be completely restored by the sight of familiar surroundings—by the attention of loved ones. But the sea will be ever calling. BRYAN’S DEATH TO HAVE BIG EFFECT ON DEMOCRATIC PARTY (Continued from I’age One» lie represented possibly was unable to name candidates but always was able to veto others. No plat form could be adopted without Bry an’s consent. If he was not the party’s abso lute dictator, as earlier in his ca reer, at any rate ho invariably could force a compromise. And the sentiment the former Nebraskan swayed remains, but will it lose its cohesion, lacking him to hold it to gether? Politicians wonder. Their surmise is that he will provc—something similar as a loss to fundamentalism as La Follette was to progressiveism. It is no small compliment to Bryan’s strength that he was so generally recognized as the national apostle of personal morality’s claims Saturday Shows—l, 3, >, 7, 9 RYLANDER BUCK JONES in “The Trail Rider” From George W.
