SEARCHING FOR THE LEPERs.
Tsang Ding, the Chinese Grocer
Now in Hiding,
The Health Board Intends Sending
Them to North Brothers Island.

The Health authorities decided this morn
ing to take summary action in the case Of
Tsang Ding, the Chinese leper, and order his
removal to some isolated place whether the
Chinaman was willing TO go or not, but Tsang
Ding had evidently made up his mind not to
be caught again.
The officers found his house locked and
Ding could not be found. 1t is believed he is
In concealment somewhere.
The other leper, ong Moy Toy, was also re-
leased from the Charity Hospital this morn
ing upon the demand OF his friends, the ofr-
cials having no authority to detain him.
Dug Moy Toy was spirited away soon as he
arrived on this side OF the river. Dug Moy
Toy was arrested at noon, however, at "a
Mott street.

The Health Board Will hold meeting to-
day and declare both Of them anlicted with
contagious disease and secure their cOnilne-
ment on North Brothers Island when found.
oficers are now searching for the two lepers.
On the report OF Inspectors Doty and Blau-
welt, Tsang Ding, who lives at 81 Mott street,
and ong Moy Toy,a gambler of "a Mott street,
were sent to the Charity Hospital as supposed
lepers, Monday last.
After a thorough diagnosis the doctors ex-
pressed the belief that the men were victims
OF the dread disease.
They were kept at the hospital while the
Health Board considered what disposition 1t
could make Of them. Yesterday afternoon
Booraem and Hamilton, OF 100 Broadway,
lawyers for Ding, demanded his release on
the ground that the doctors had no right TO
detain him.
ne was allowed to go, and came back TO this
city. He went directly to his former home,
but remained there only few minutes. He
went out again, and has not been seen since.
President Wilson and DR.. Edson held con-
ference, the result OF which was that they
went to 81 Mott street early this morning to
take Ding away. They were convinced that
he should be isolated.
The disease is more contagious among Chi
namen than white people, and the isolation OF
the leper was decided upon TO prevent its
spread in the Mongolian colony. The only
question was where to send the lepers.
WIN OuR MOg lOy OulI pihB, VIM
was removed to the Charity Hospital several
weeks ago, the city now has three new lepers
on its hands.
There is no regular leper hospital. All per-
sons suffering from contagious diseases are
sent to North Brothers Island, but the learned
doctors do not agree that leprosy iB con-
tagious disease In this climate. So there was
the rub.
II was agreed, however, that this was case
where prompt action was necessary.
The Health officers determined TO exercise
the discretionary powers they possessed In
guarding against contagion, and enforce
them in Tsang Ding and Ong Moy Toys cases.
No. 81 Mott street is flye-story tenement
house occupied by Cinnamon, italians and
Russian Poles. Eight families live there.
Tsang Ding occupies rooms on the third
floor. His doors were locked and bolted this
morning, and In response TO question as TO
Ding's whereabouts, Chinaman said: Him
gone away"
Ding is wealthy merchant. He owns two
groceries, one at 10 and one at "a Mott
Street. He was not at either OF his stores.
His manager said: "Mr. Ding gone In
county"
The tenants OF No. 81 do not seem to be
alarmed that they had been living In the
house with a leper, although Ding's face was
covered with LESSONS common In leprosy.
The house has not been disiDfected. The
tenants do not seem 10 realize the danger
they had Incurred. Leprosy Is q strange
word to many OF them.
When spoken TO about the matter and
asked II they knew they had leper for q
neighbor the family oCcupyingsthe rooms op-
posite Ding's said
" We know nothing about the Chinamans
business, but he Is very nice man."
