LOSES HIS SIGHT,
BUT IT HETURNS
New Jersey Man's Eyes Appar
ently Flawless and Special
ists Can Not Explain Case.
NEW YORK, May 10.—Twice stricken
blind and twice restored to sight, with
eyes which scientists can find no physi
cal flaw, is the extraordinary record of
Cleveland W. Speer, of Passaic, N. J.
The first attack robbed him of his sight
for months, but the last which came upon
htm Monday night, lasted only 24 hours.
Great, sympathy was expressed for
Speer at the tragic manner in which his
sight left him. shortly before Christmas
last year. He is the manager of an au
tomobile garage and lives in a pretty
home with his wife and four children.
He is only 30 years old On the first oc
casion he had returned from a hunting
trip greatly tired, and his eyes were
slightly irritated by the powder smoke of
his gun.
Awakes to Find Himself Blind.
When he awakened next morning he
became aware of a sensation of stiffness
or tightening between the eyes. Then
there came a «tab of excruciating pain
between his eyes and he tottered back
with his sight gone—a horror of black
ness before him.
Eminent specialists could find no cause
of blindness. No operation could be per
formed where no disease was to be re
moved. Similar cases had come to their
attention, at rare intervals. resulting
from hysteria, but this did not appear to
be the case with Speer, whose health was
perfect.
Speer, who never gave up hope, was to
tally blind for two months and then his
right eye began to recover. Slowly he
regained full sight of it while his left eye
remained blind About a week ago the
left eye improved so he was able to dis
tinguish between light and darkness.
Again Sees Well as Ever.
But the rejoicing of himself and his
family and friends turned to despair
Monday night when he again suffered a
sharp pain and the sight of both eyes
again left him. Twenty-four hours later
the third stab of pain came and he. stood
blinking, half laughing and half crying,
for the sight of both eyes was restored
and the picture of the pleasant sitting
room of his home with his wife and
startled children standing around was
before him.
Speer asserts he can see as well as
ever and that there was not the slightest
sensation of weakness or confusion in his
vision.
WOMAN MORTALLY
WOUNDED, THEN SET
AFIRE, SAYS DOCTOR
.LOS ANGELES, May 10.—After a
night spent in investigating the mys
terious murder of an unidentified wom
an, supposed tn be from Chicago, whose
body was found in a vacant house, the
police today were unable to identify
either the murderer or his victim. The
murderer had tried to burn the body.
The motive which prompted the crime
is a mystery to the police. Even the
manner in which the woman’s life was
taken has not been established.
The dead woman was about 3<i years
of age. A handkerchief found in her
pocket bore the initial “K.” Other
marks on her clothing indicated she
was from Chicago. The slayer left a
handkerchief which may lead to his ap
prehension.
Dr. Campbell, autopsy surgeon, an
nounced that every indication pointed
that the woman had been murdered in
the building and that her clothing had
been set afire while unconscious, but
still alive.
CONDUCTOR ACCUSED OF
FLOURISHING REVOLVER
SAVANNAH. GA.. May 10.—Declar
ing that he was jerked off a train at
Clifton station by a Central of Georgia
railway porter and that the conductor
with a drawn revolver prevented him
from boarding the train again, although
he had a ticket entitling him to ride
from Savannah to Pooler, Wallace
Kennedy has filed suit in the superior
court to recover $2,000 from the rail
way company.
The trouble started when Kennedy
went out on the platform of one of the
coaches to speak to an acquaintance.
The porter told him to get. out of the
way. Later he was helping a cripple
board the train, when, he asserts, the
porter grabbed his wrist, at the same
time striking him in the face. When he
attempted to get back on the train, the
conductor is said to have appeared with
a revolver.

Os Chicago Outlawed
By Their Own Union
CHICAGO. May 10.—Members of the
Chicago Stereotypers union who called
a strike against the Chicago Publish
ers association are outlawed today. An
order revoking the charter of the local
w'as issued by the executive committee
of the international organization. At
the same time traveling cards granted
by the local to its men were revoked,
canceling the rights and privileges of
all the members. The action was taken
because the men refused to obey the
orders of the international officers and
return to work.
It is reported that the international
officers will sanction the formation of
another local here.
Few disturbances marked the course
of the newspaper strike today. Papers
were sold in all parts of the Loop dis

lying districts during the morning. The
publishers assert that the strike has
been broken and that conditions will
soon be normal.

A 25-mile wind baffled the life-savers
in their efforts to get to her. Heavy
seas pounded the stranded vessel and
thousands of persons, lined along the
beach walk, watched the fight of the
boat crews to reach her. in momentary
fear that she would be battered to
pieces.
