Governor of the Soldiers Home Wants
Notorious Leavenworth Dis
frict Cleaned Ont.

TOPEKA, June 17.-(Special) Attorney
General GODDARD, while in Leavenworth this
week, made a personal investigation of the
"Klondike'' district, which is the scene of
SO much crime and has been responsible
for the death of many old soldier inmates
of the National Military home.
Recently the governor of the home made
a complaint to the governor, requesting
official action to drive the notorious resorts
out of business. The governor promised to
take the matter up. and the inspection
made by Mr.. GODDARD is presumed to be for
the purpose of opening up legal warfare
against the criminals and criminal resorts
which constitute the "Klondike."

Vigilance OF Roc Island Authorities
Ayerts the Possible Danger of a Spread
of the Disease by OvertakiDg the Gar
ments at Thomson. Having Them Thrown
From the Train and Burned.
Philip j. Stombs. young man
whose home is at 1906 Fifth-and-a-half
avenue, this city. was picked up in
the streets of Toledo, Ohio, yesterday,
having fallen a victim of smallpox.
He was taken in charge by the au-
thorities and every precaution posi-.
bic taken TO prevent the spread OF
the disease.
A telegram was Immediately sent to
Chief of Police Pender by DR.. T. j..
Woods, the health commissioner of
Toledo. stating that suit of clothing
that Stombs had worn on his trip from
Detroit to Toledo had been shipped to
Rock leland. and advising the authori-
ties Lere to act accordingly.
The vigilance of Mayor Medill,
Health Commissioner Comegys and
Chief Pender averted the danger of
a possible spread of the scourge in
Rock Island, for throughout the en-
tire night they kept the telegraph
wires hot communicating with cities
endeavoring 20 locate Stombs' cloth
ing.
Clothing Found.
Their efforts proved successful this
morning, when it was learned that the
bundle was coming to Rock Island on
the / 30 Milwaukee passenger train.
Instructions were telegraphed to have
the clothing thrown from the train
and burned. This was done at Thorn
son, station between here and Sa-
wanna.
The health commissioner and chief
were at the depot when the train
pulled in. The contents of the com
bination baggage and mail car in
which the clothing had been carried
were disinfected. The car will be
quarantined for u h"urS. The con-
tents of the car were not disturbed,
upon orders from Dr.. Comegys. The
mem bers of tire train crew were vacci-
mated by DR.. j. Il Hollowbush.
The United States mail that came
in on the train was not removed, but
with the other contents of the car was
| fumigated with disinfectant and will
be held in quarantine for "a hours, in
accordance with the orders of Health
Commissioner Co'uegys. Postmaster
Thomas has telegraphed the assistant
postmaster general as to what further
disposition should be made of the
mail.
Philip Stombs had been working in
carriage factory at Detroit, and it is
supposed was on his way home when
stricken with the dread disease.
Mr.. and Mrs. Al. Stombs, parents
of the smallpox patient. are in receipt
of a telegram from DR.. j. F. Woods,
of Toledo, stating that the ease is not
a hopeless one.
