Trustee Gregory Sues Stnte llnnk Suiierintcnilciit For Sum of Papers liavo been served by E. D, uumniing, oi Deposit, and bis coun-, sel, Hinman, Howard dc Kattell, of wngnaniton, on behalf of William M. Gregory as trusteo of tho bankrupt estate of Knapp lirothers, In a new suit brought by Mr. Gregory to com pel the State Superintendent of Bank ing, George C. Van Tuyl, of Albany, and tho old Blnghamton Trust Com pany to refund a total of $437, G33. 31 In notes held by the Trust Com pany and claimed by the Knapp es tate, and an additional sum of ?200, 000 for damages alleged to havo been sustained. The principals at Issue In this case are almost Identical with those at Is sue in the case of the old Blngham ton Trust Company vs. the Knapp Brothers' estate, brought to secure possession of notes aggregating over $200,000 In face value, an dclalmed by the Trust Company to bo the con cern's property. This last case was won by the plaintiff in the trial In tho Supremo Court but a new trial was' secured on appeal to tho Appellate Division. , The complaint alleges that the' Knapps allowed deposits amounting to about $1,500,000 to be received at! mo iauicoon branch at a time when the amount owing depositors was greater than their total assets, and that with tho knewledge of the direc tors of the Blnghamton Trust Com pany, Charles J. Knapp was allowed to withdraw large amounts from that Institution and charge them against the firm of Knapp Brothers to give the appearance of solvency. It is further charged that transfers of commercial paper covering practical ly all of the assets of Knapp Broth ers were mado to tho Blnghamton Trust Company. These notes were those turned over to the care of Superintendent Van Tuyl. The plaintiff has formerly de manded the return of these notes and failure to do so lias resulted In tho suit being continued. AMKKICAXS AXI) THE CHUItCHES In announcing a gain In church membership during the last year of but ono and seven-tenths per cent., I Dr. H. K. Carroll, former Director of tho Religious Census of the United States, deplores the fact that but 32,000,000 out of 92,000,000 Inhabi tants of this country are taking any Interest in religion. Summarizing tho achievements of the twelve months, he thinks the half million new members an aver age addition of but two and a half communicants to each of the 200,000 churches a very unsatisfactory re turn on tho $1,757,575,807 Invested In the religious property owned by tho ISC different denominations of tho country. In extenusatlon, church supports point out that tho average annual salary of tho 105,000 minis ters Is but $CC3 little more than an ofllce boy's wage and that many of them are prevented from doing jus tice to their work by being obliged to devote part of their time to other vocations to support their families. To this is undoubtedly duo tho fact that with approximately CO, 000, 000 sittings in tho 200,000 churches of tho United States wo And a paltry 35,000,000 members to fill thorn. Disappointing as this may seem to tho spiritual minded it would ob viously be unfair to interpret It as an Indictment of tho 00,000,000 Amer icans who for ono reason or another havo no church afllllatlons. Of this vast number of non-church going cit izens of tho republic, a largo percent age, It Is reasonable to assume, aro rellgously disposed, oven though they do not practlco It openly. Tho fact that thoy havo recourso to tho admin istrations of tho clergy only In sick ness, marriage and death or when tho youngsters aro to bo christened, Is not to bo hold against them or to bo accepted as proof that thoy aro hostile to tho church and Its Instru mentalities for good. In a country, whoro religion Is as free as air and tho church and state, havo nothlnc In common, It indeed Is surprising to many that the denominations havo' enlisted as many active partisans as ' they ha'vo or aro as aggressive as thoy are. No business Institution employs more varied agenrles to ex tend Its Influenco and stimulate In terest In Its work and service. Finance, literature, oratory, music; all tho arts that appeal to tho Imagination and awaken these lm- pulses which control the actions of YEAR. ONLY SPEAK, LOVEI" Heaton in Chicago Inter Ocsan. so many of us are suppliant to Its needs and whether wo will or not Bervo to everlastingly keep Its mes sage before us. As If It were tho veriest trifle, a single group of zeal ous Protestants In New York ralso a .million dollars for a nation wide cam paign of evangelizing and express their willingness to add another mil lion to It, if necessary. Exulting In Its new world freedom Judaism gath ers increasing impetus and unfurls Its banners where there wero none before. Catholicism is thrilled by Its great historical work, "Tho Cath olic Church In The United States," tho six million word mosaic of tho Catholic Editing Company of New York showing tho striking growth, vitality and potentiality of tb-U de nomination in the republic. What ever else these prove, they show that tho religious spirit which responds to these calls, still waxes strong within tho avorage man. A body of people that will volun tarily give almost two billion dollars for the establishment and endowment of Institutions and contribute an other hundred and fifty millions a year for their support, assuredly rep resents a force whoso influenco no man can gainsay. HARVARD MEN COMING EAST. Associated Clubs Meet This Year In New York City. For tho first time In the sixteen years since Its organization the As sociated Harvard clubs will meet this year In New York. Previous meetlrigs have been in western cities, except one year, vhen the big gathering was at Philadelphia.

Vice Admiral Augusto Aubry, who was In command of the Italian attack ing fleet since tho beginning of tho Italian-Turkish war, died recently. Admiral Aubry won his way up in the navy of his country through brav ery, merit and forco of character. He was the youngest of the vice admirals, having been born in 1S4C, tho son of u cobbler. Admiral Aubry fought against Austria in 1SCG and saw service in African waters In 18S9. ne was twice undersecretary of the navy. During the present war ho command ed the war vessels at the bombardment of Tripoli, Tebruk and Bengnzl. AVIATOR FINDS A BODY. Use of Hydroaeroplane In Search -Proves Successful. , A hydroaeroplune was successfully employed in a search which had lasted for eleven days for the body of Her bert P. Johnson, a naval architect, who was drowned In Lake Pontchartralu, Louisiana. After futile attempts nt dragging sec tions of the lake and almost constant searching by owners of many launch es and motorboats Fred Bodell of Dan ville, III., a student at an aviation school here, discovered Johnson's body after circling tho lako in a hydroaero piano several times. Tho body was found floating several miles out on the lake. THH EE TYPEWKITEK COMPANIES COMBINE.

Tho International Sunshino So ciety, a membership corporation In-1 corporatod undor tho laws of the Stato of Now York in 1900, began doing tho small things of llfo with tho object simply to Incite its mem bers to tho performance of kind and holpful deeds. Tho aim was to "Do tho thing that Is needed when it Is needed, whether tho thing Is a little or a largo ono." This Is tho very frultago of phllanthrophy. Among tho hundreds of things thereforo prcsontcd to the society In after years, camo that of taking caro of blind babies. We wero surprised to learn that In tho wholo United States thoro was no provision for blind children from babyhood up to school ago, most all tho Institutions not taking thorn un til eight years old. Wo also discovered another thing that tho children of tho very poor seldom livo to bo eight years old without becoming 'feeble-minded and Idiotic. Fow of the very poor chil dren livo to bo thnt ago at all, for tho light hunger is so much greater in n blind child than tho hunger for food, that the llttlo fingers do not stop nt the mouth as In tho scelnc children who suck their thumbs, but1 they pass right by to tho eyes and there they rub and dig, and dig, nnd poko their fingers In up " to tho knuckles at times, thereforo gener ally Injuring the eyes and blood pois on sets In and tho llttlo one dies. Tho world, thoughtlessly, says, " Well, perhaps, It was bettor for It that It didn't live," novor realizing tho fact that If tho child had had proper attention it would havo liv ed and grown up llko any other, bright and beautiful both physically and mentally. Discovering that thero wero insti tutions all over this beautiful coun try for animals of all kinds for everything, In fact, In tho way of protection but for the helpless of all human 'beings, blind babies, wo kept tho first child 'brought to us and gave it Into the care of a nurse and sent out calls for help to open a nur sery until we could seo what could be done. It Is a long story. Wo found no record anywhere of small blind chil dren blind babies as wo call them. In visiting the departments of feeble minded, and the poor-houses and tho Institutions whero theso llttlo ones are sent, wo discovered the blind child. In many cases tho nurses did not know they were blind. Some of them had beautiful eyes, others wero digging their eyes and mutilating them so that the nurses Blmply thought of them as extraor dinarily Idiotic. The city ofllcials helped in every way possible. Wo borrowed tho children for a while to see If any thing could be done with them, and finally we got a bill through at Al bany permitting the city to pay us a dollar a day for each child committed to our care. Of course this bill Is not mandatory. The Board of Esti mate, not understanding the great care of these children aro and the need of the best nurses and teachers, naturally thought that sixty cents a day a big amount to pay, and we were glad indeed to get that much held. Some day we hope to get the wholo dollar. Wo took all of these supposedly blind Idiots and put thorn in charge of graduate nurses for hospital care, graduate klndcrgartners for mental training, and the best trained nurses and helpers that we could secure. This cost a lot of money. We have fought hard and long to provo to the world that to educate tho blind properly one must begin with thom when babies and not wait until they aro eight years old. When the brains have been eight years lying unde veloped and all parts of their body left untrained, It Is Impossible for a child to overcome the peculiarities and awkardness that it has fallen In to during the eight years of Its men tal darkness. " Wo havo already graduated many of these children from our kin dergarten to the Now York Institu tion for tho Blind on 34th street, New York City. Some of thorn at the head of their classes. Twenty five llttlo ones who had been virtu ally thrown away by tho world ns not worth saving aro now considered exceptionally bright. Only one little follow failed to respond to our caro. I attribute his condition to the fact that he used to butt' his head against tho wall hours at a time when In the Idiot department, nnd being n baby , his head was tender and pliable and ! It Is now out of shape" j While he Is gentlo and docs somo bright things, wo havo despaired of I his ever being other than feeble minded; even tho pain that ho folt -while pumping his head against the wall, was a pleasure to him and he would if allowod, content himself this way for hours because of tho comfort ho felt in just doing it. Ho beat his heel on tho ground until It was all bruises. Tho nurse who had him In charge thought becauso of his actions that ho was an Idiot. His I brain was only trying to live, and tho llttlo soul was simply struggling to "find Itself." Wo havo thereforo demonstrated to our perfect satisfaction that to . educato tho blind, thoy must bo sent I as early ns possible to an institution that Is a nursery, hospital, kinder garten and homo combined, and the baby must bo cared for from tho I minute of Its blindness, j Tho oldor children that wo took , from tho department of feoble-mlnd-od when onco aroused to tho fact that thoy wero receiving caro and tendor love, learned so fast and so rapidly, and thoy worked with such enthu siasm on anything glvon them, that If allowed to continuo of their own accord, thoy would work In their play and study until thoy would fall from exhaustion. Wo took tho little ones that wero omaclatcd, half skel- tons, some covered with tho Itch, children even nt tho ago of six years that didn't know how to walk nor talk, all wearing diapers, and put thom first into tho caro of a hos pital nurso. Thoy would not oat solid food, being afraid. Tho mothers or rela tives with whom they lived, not knowing how to handlo thom, would let them sit, hunched up any way so I long as they wero quiet until they becamo deformod, in ono case tho 1 limbs paralyzed. All of theso chil dren, but for SunBhlno, would havo grown up Into dopondont ndult blind. Tho child In tho Sunshino Homo Is really In school from tho tlmo It wakes up until it goes to bed, for it Is taught by its nurses, It Is taught by tho housomothor, It Is taught by ho kindergarten tcachor, and 1b then placed In tho hands of tho hospital nurso wtio In turn teaches It some thing as sho gives It her special caro. If wo can tako theso chlldron that have, as 1 havo expressed It, been virtually thrown away by tho city as not worth saving, and provo that thoy aro dear, bright, lovely chil dren, what can wo not do with tho llttlo ones who havo had somo caro and aro seemingly not altogethor feeble-minded. Wo bellovo In tho cottage plan, ench cottago being a homo, nursery, hospital and kindergarten combined. Slnco looking about for blind babies, wo havo como across a numbor of blind chlldron of tho wealthy. Tho well-to-do should sond their children to us, nnd pay for their care. Tho "mother lovo" oft times Is the greatest posslblo cnomy a blind child enn havo. Tho mother protects and shields the child, not understanding that In Its total darkness It must be helped to reach out, Instead of being holpod to withdraw more Into Itsolf. It must be taught to eat solid food. It must bo glvon dancing lessons, mu sic lessons, singing lessons, to make It fearless, sunny and graceful. Without seeing tho school, wit nessing tho dally progress, feeling tho arms of theso blind children nround your neck nnd hearing the prnttlo of their cheerful voices, no ono can quite understand tho present need. Our institutions aro demonstra tions of whnt can be done for them, and a visit thero will Instantaneous ly verify all wo claim. Tho Secretary of tho Sago Founda tion Fund visited our Homo. Later tho committee sot aside $150,000 to prevent blindness. Thero will not bo so many adult blind In tho world looking to the States for support twenty years from now If wo are allowed to give prop er care to tho blind babies of to-day. Wo havo had two llttlo ones In our homo who will bo just llko theso old er cripples when they grow up. They have been neglected already too long their backs aro bent and their legs twisted. Wo can't save them, but wo can save the hundreds and hundreds that will yet como into tho world In spite of all tho care to prevent blindness.
