Hampshire avenue. and friends Of the fam
liz say he is not in any condition to recefyo
reports of the decision in the famous naval
controversy.
NJ copy of the report has been sent to
Rear Admiral Sampson and none win b

proceedings.

possible for the Rear -AduiirarS relief and

Rear Admiral Sampson was frequently seen
taking short walks. though his feeble con-
dition was noticeable. These walks have Re-
Gently been given up. and he Is now Con-
fined to the house. 1t IS hoped that
a long season OF complete rest will re-

Rear Admiral Simpsons breakdown Is
not due to any worry or nervous strain In
connection with the long naval controversy
between his friends and those of Rear Ad-
miral Schley. but to his long and 1rduous
service as a naval officer.

LEAVES FAMILY FOR LEPER.
Dr.. Knapp, of St. Louis, Will Devote
Life to Chinese Patient.

ST. Louis, Aug. 2l.-Dr. Louis Knapp,
a practicing physician of this city, has
forever separated himself from his wife
and four children, and will become iso-
lated from the world, to nurse Dong
Gong, the Chinese leper, who was found
here two weeks ago.
DR.. Knapp took final leave of his
family yesterday and entered on his du-
ties in the old city hall as nurse for
Dong Gong. He volunteered his serv-
ices in the interests of science, that he
\ might study the disease.
A building will be erected at Quar-
antine station for DR.. Knapp and his
patient, and here they will be complete
ly isolated. The doctor hopes to discov-
err a cure for the malady with which
Dong Gong is afflicted. 1t will take full
ly five years for the disease to develop
into an acute stage, and during this
time DIR. Knapp and Gong will be the
sole occupants of the house to be built.
Besides acting as physician, the doc
tor will also have to officiate as cook for
both.
DR.. Knapp is 40 years old and grad
uate OF a Detroit medical college. With
his wife and four children he lived at
his family was affecting. To them, tho
living, he will be as one dead.
| The kitchen, from which Gong will be
| excluded, will separate the leper's room
from that of his nurse. As Gong was
| in the laundry business before his NAL
| ady was discovered it is presumed he
will do his own washing. Other ar
rangements will be made for DR.
knapp's laundry.
Nursing is not new to DIR. Knapp

practitioners of the city visited the pa
