A LHPHR IN CALIFORNIA
The Afflicted Woman Refuses to Be
Taken to Hawaii.
She Writes to the Secretary of War
Protesting Against Removn1-'The
San Francisco Health Authorities
Proposed to Send Her Out of the
Country on an Army Transport.

The War Department today received a
most unusual and puzzling request from
the health commissioner of San Francisco.
1t appears that woman in that city has
been discovered suffering from an ad-
vanced case of leprosy. The health OFF,
cials of San Francisco desire that the
woman be sent TO one Of the leper COLO
nies in Havana. and request that she be
taken there on an army transport
The woman objects to being sent to the
leper colony and has written a letter to the
Secretary Of War declaring that force viii
be necessary to compel her. In her letter
she declares that she will cry ''leper, leper,
unclean, unclean," from the time she is
taken from her home to the time she is
placed on the transport. This she says will
cause everyone else to refuse to go ON the
vessel and Will otherwise create consterna-
tion in the city.
The Secretary of War has reached no de-
cision in the case. but in all probability
the woman will not be sent TO Hawaii, at
least not on an army transport. The case
will probably be referred TO either the
Surgeon General OF the Army or the Surgeon
General of the Marine Hospital Service
This is the first case of leprosy reported
in the United States for some time. and is
giving the authorities some uneasiness, es-
pecially as it occurs In a city like San
Francisco where the population is Sc
crowded AID composed Of SO many races
The health authorities OF that city are TAX
ing every precaution to prevent the woman
from coming into contact with other per-
sons
Although the name Of the victim is with
held she is said to. be of middle age and 10
belong to a respectable family. 1t is hard
to tell what disposition will be made Of the
case as there are no leper colonies in the
United States and the question is one that
has seldom before fbeen- brought to the at
tention of the authorities. The woman
will probably be sent to Hawaii but just
how TO get her there is the problem.
