LAWS 10 PREVENT
BLINDNESS URGED
Colored School Also FavorB Com?
pulsory Education for Deaf
and Blind.
Earnest appeal to the medical pro
foEjlon or the State to make an effort
to stamp out opthalraia neonatorum,
tho disease which is causing so much
blindness, is made In tho annual re?
port of the Virginia School for the
Colored Deaf and Blind, at Newport
News, made public yestorday. Tho
records In many schools. It is stated,
show- that more than one-third of the
blindness is caused by this prevent?
able malady. In cue blind school it
wao found that as much as 44 per cent,
and in another 64 per cent, of the ad?
missions wore victims of thl3 dis?
ease.
Tho remedy is simple?one or two
drops of a solution in the eye of every
infant within twonty-four hours after
birth. The medicine, it 13 said, cannot
possibly do harm, and will save many
uyes. It la advocated that laws ba
enacted requiring physicians to ad?
minister it.
Should He Compulsory.
Eike tho school for deaf and blind
white children. th? Newport News In?
stitution desires a law for the com?
pulsory attondance of all such atillcted
children In tho sohools. "Every edu?
cated dear or blind man," it says, "will
tell you that there should be a com?
pulsory education law roqulrtng par?
ents or guardians to send their deaf
or blind children to school. In four?
teen States thlH law is already in force
with oxcellcnt results. Wc are not
arguing for the compulsory education
of those who can hear and Bee. That
Is a debatable question; but we do not
think there is an intelligent person in
Virginia who will not agree that every
deaf and dumb child and every blind
child of good mental capacity Fhould
bo educated. Such an afflicted child has
God-given rights that not oven its
parents have the right to deny It?the
right to know that there Is a God,
the right to know that there Is a
hereafter, the right to know ite own
namo. tho right to know wrong from
right, the right to an understanding
of the world in which lie lives. This
understanding can only be gotten
through an education."
During the year the following were
enrolled: Twenty-seven deaf girls,
seventeen deaf boys, eleven blind girls,
eighteen blind boys. More dormitory
space 1b necessary If others arc to be
admitted.

[?poclal to The 'i'imcs-ijtspatcii. J
Gloucester Courthouse, Vu., January
u.?Tho first witness for the Common?
wealth In the trial of Cincinnatus
Walker, charg-Jd with the murder of
Murtsol Shackclford on June 11, 1311,
at Gloucester Courthouse to-day, was
Thomas Shackclford, nephew of the
i murdered man. The witness had dined
with Mulisel Shackclford Just before
thi shooting. He told of having seen
Walker fls he was going and coining
fromChurc.h Hill, the home uf lion. I. N
I 5tu1>b3, whore hlB uncle went after
jbetng shot, ? and of noticing -Walker's
I excited and unkempt condition.
| Ivor A. Page took exception to sev?
eral questions mad: by II. I. Lewi.-, for
the Commonwealth, remarking that
patience had ceased to be a virtue i
with him. Mr. Lewis replied that it
was Just his slow country way of
doing things, and he would be ^lad If ?
he wquld teach him a better way. ' j
Jamas Lewis, colored, testified that
Walker told him that If any one ever
! hud him indicted for selling whiskey
he. would kill him, and us for "trial
old gray-halrcd Shackelford." he would
shoot him if he lived.
riobert Pierce testified that he was
on a Jury two yuars ago with M?nsa!
Shackelford, the murdered man. us
foreman. The case was one In which
I Walker was Interested, and the Jury
: decided against him. As the witness left
the jury room Walker said: ".Shackel?
ford has done more harm for the upper
I part of Gloucester than any man In it.
j and If ho meddles any more in my
I business 1 will put him where the dogs
j won't bark at him."
I Waller Ware, a carriage maker, tes
, tided that he found No, t shot in tho
back of tho buggy, which bad been
Identified as the ono Shackelford was
In when shot. The shot wero shown
to the Jury. The witness testified that
the buggy had not boen tampered with.
Charlie Shackelford, son of the mur?
dered man, tcstllled to seeing Walker
shortly after the shooting and on Tues
I day, tig he passed Walker's storo on
his way to Gloucester Courthouse.
Walker was then in the custody of the
United States murshal. Young Shack?
elford demanded of Walker If he had
seen his father on Sunday evening.
Walker answered: "Dou you mean to
say 1 shot your father?" Shackelfurd
re.pllod: "I do say so." Then Walker
rushed at hlin, and Shackelford raised
his rifle. When asked why he brought
the title, he answered: "To protect my?
self." lie had heard, he said, that
Walker sal.l he would shoot any one
who said he killed Mtinaal Shackelford.
The Commnnwcnlth asked that the
jury be taken out while the witness

told his father's dying declaration la
regard to tho murder, which was this:
"It is so hard to die al the hands t.?
an assassin. That t-coundrel. Natui
Walker, shot inc." Tho admlssibSllly
of this evidence was discussed, and tho
judge decided that as it was Impos?
sible for Mr. Shackelford to see tho
man who shot him, us was proven by
a witness yesterday, the words ueed
only expressed an opinion, and could
not he used as evidence.
The next witness, Cjptain Gee, tes?
tified that lie had notified Walker that
he was selling liquor Illegally and'
was responsible for Iiis taxes and a
Hue. The Commonwealth rested tu?'
case here.
The llrst four witnesses for the dA
fonso were colored men, who testified
to having been at Walker's store about
o'clock on the evening of the day tho
shooting was done. As the shooting:
occurred at 6 o'clock, It would havu
been Impossible for Wulkor to bo wail?
ing In ambush as .Shackelford passed.
The defense seemed to havo almost
proved an alibi, but one question by Mr.
Lewis showed the houso to be built ofi
cards. He asked each witness In turn
whether he saw Tom Shackelford while
at Walker's store. Bach In turn said
he did. and as Shackelford was there?
after the shooting, the alibi fell
through.
