The Presentation is backed by more than 500 leading men and women of Brooklyn and the work of the players, is taken as another proof of the work being done in thts city to show that blind people are not wholly handicapped, but can do what they will with the proper training.

The big steamship and express companies are fighting the bill. How bitter the fight is was shown yester- day when the bill came up for third reading. The companies are main- taining a lobby here, and Senator Cotillo charged on the floor of the Senate that a fund of $200,000 had been raised to defeat his efforts on behalf of the foreizn born citizens, nd that well known and influential men were engaged in lobbying @gainst his measure. The New York Senator made an tmpassioned appeal to the Senate for Support, and at his request a close call of the House was made to in- 8 a full attendance, Senator Fred Pitcher, a Republican lawyer of ‘Watertown, is Chairman of the Bank- tng Committee, and, at the request of the steamship and express com- panies, last week, introduced @ bill which would license the sub-agents, but stil bave the big companies go free of responsibility. Chairman Pitcher was present in the chamber when the call of the House was made. He was absent when the discussion was on, and Sen- ator John Knight of Arcade used his bsence as a reason for po further discussion of the bill. Mr. Knight said it had been impossible to locate the Chairman, und he didn't Graham's report as to the Brooklyn Union Gas Company and a decision would follow.
