SANITY Blakelock Freed Irom Asylum Bars for Six Months West NI 6— Seated at a plano in a bungalow studio built for him, Ralph Albert Blake- lock, the landscape artist whom fame found long after he had quit painting and had been sent to an insane asy- lum seventeen years ago, told his lib- erators that he would paint himself back to freedom. Softly touching the keys to accompany his words, he gave a picture of what he hoped to do, despite his 70 years. Blakelock was brought from the State Hospital for the Insane at Mid- dletown, N. Y., by Mrs. Van Rens- selaer Adams of Orange, N. Y. to Lynwood Lodge, a rpivate sanitariu Mrs. Adams, who with other admirers of Blakelock's art had arranged for his release from Middletown on a s months’ lease parole, went to the in- stitutlony, with a writ from the su- preme court ordering that Blakelock be placed in her care. Dr. Maurice Ashley, superintendent at Middletown, aceompanied Blakelock and Mrs. ! Adams to Paterson, N. J., where they were met by Dr. Walter Neldon, pro- prietor of Lynwood Lodge, and Dr. Charles Banks, Mrs. Adams’ physician. In an automobile the artist was taken to the sanitarium and to a room which had been fitted up for him. Then they took him down to the little bungalow, bedecked with golden rod and roses. Because he was a musician, a piano had been put into a corner at the end of a great easel, on which hung a fresh canvas aglow with sunlight streaming through roof windows. He began to tell what he would do with brush and paint once more at hand. And then when Mrs. Adams told him the studio had been made just for him, his joy was so great that he could not speak. He seated himself at the plano, and while he played, the others withdrew and left him alone. Mrs. Adams believes Blakelock is sane and that his art, forsaken in the long years he was In the asylum, will convince the world that he is not | demented. Whille he will be under | observation at the sanitarium he will have every facility for work. Blakelock hopes to paint such a picture as he believed is expected of him because of his election to the National Academy of Design last year. It is probable the landscape along the Hudson will be his subject. A fund of $10,000 has been raised for the painter. If he makes plctures | such as he used to make he will soon | Englewood, Sept.

The career of Blakelock has been one of the tragedies of American art. He was born in New York in 1847. flc never attended an art school but studied alone and gave play to his talent.

OWNING' RAILROADS Socialist Congressman Says Eight 1 Hour Day Is First Step New York, Sept. 6.—Victor Berger, editor of the Milwaukee Leader, a socialist daily, and the first socialist to be elected In congress, Who is now in New York, discussed the recent action of congress in passing the rail- road eight-hour law. He said tho rassago of the law was a step toward sovernment ownership of ‘the rail- roads, wittingly. While he welcomes the passage of the law as a step in the directlon of | | government ownership, Mr. Berger added that in his opinion the settling | B or ‘“temporary postponement” of the strike was, after all, a piece of bun- combe in which congre and the publio gene ly were the dupes. “Congres: 1id Mr. Berger, ‘has taken one of the most momentous steps in the history of our country, one of the greatest steps in the direc- | tion of socialism ever taken, when it took that step congress <o witheut knowing what it w For the first time in the h our country, congress ng the hours and practicaly also the scale of wages in privately owned enterpr for the railroads of America are privately owned.

But, unless President points enough new members of the interstate commerce commission to make possible the granting of an in- crease in nger and freight rates to the nds, the railroads will simply ; that they cannot pay the new wage scale because they must pay cividends and interest on bonds or declare themselves bankrupt. Then the government will have to stop in and run the railroads. This is all said under the supposition that the preme court decides that the law is constitutional. 3ut now, iet us suppose that the supreme court decided that the law is unconstitutional and void. In that event the men will get neither the cight hours nor the increased wage, &nd then there will be nothing to keep them fram striking again, and we wil] be face to face with tho same situa- tion we were up against last week, the cnly difference being that it won’t be seven or eight weeks before a national election, and that Mr, Wilson, cr whoever happens to be Tesident, will not hasten to send special mes- sages to both houses of congress to pass laws for his especial favor in crder to help along the personal boom of a nominee.
