"Inasmuch as 1t was necessary to occupy

Immediately following the withdrawal of the
Spanish government of this island, the few
lepers gradually slipped out from the Asan
hospital, being received and cared for by
the kind-hearted people of the villages, who
are loath to betray them. When the last
inmate died it was generally asserted that
the disease was practically extinct; several
reported cases proved upon examination to
be not leprOsy, and such search was

is believed that no material harm in the

recent lack Of segregation"
Commander Schroeder says the site for
the proposed leper colony will be at the
west end of Tumon bay beach, which is the
first blight eastward of the bay upon which

Vetoed by the President

The President has transmitted to the
House message explaining his reasons
for vetoing a bill for the relief Of Harry {.
Mix.
A. F. Holt was postmaster at Naldosta.
Ca and as such became a defaulter to the
government. Suit was brought on his offi-
cial bond and the amount was finally re-
covered Criminal proceedings were also
commenced against him and he gave bond
for his appear nce at court, with Harry c.
Mix surety thereon. The defendant failed to
appear, and forfeiture was taken.
The President transmits statement OF
the case by the Attorney General, who con-
cludes with the words:
sit seems useless to require persons
charged with crime 10 give bond for their
appearance In court IL they can remain
away land the sureties on their bonds be
relieved from liability. To. give relief in
this particular case seems to be but to set
a bad example"
The President adds;
"In view of the statements above set
forth. am Constrained to withhold my, ap-
prevail OF the bill.
