For Federal Supervision.

Senator w. NJ. Crane, who succeed
ed the late Senator Hoar, at the last
session of Congress introduced bill
for government supervision.
1t was passed by the Senate, but
when it came up for consideration
at the hands of the Representatives.
Delegate Rodey of New Mexico,
smarting under the sting left by the
failure of his statehood plans. charged
that the provision in this bill which
planned to locate leper colony on
some abandoned military reservation
was, in fact, plan to foist the
''unclean' upon New Mexico, as there
are several abandoned reservations in
that territory.
The bill failed to pass the House.
1t Is believed that Senator Crane pro-
poses to again introduce this bill ear
~ in the next session. 1t will be in
troduced in a somewhat different man
ner from the old one. 1t will provide
for "Lepers Home" instead of
"Leprosarlum'', as this latter term
conveyed the impression that the dis
ease was more prevalent in the Unit
ed States than it really is.
To Search For Cure.
Leprosy was regarded by the Israel
ties as incurable. In fact the records
of ancient times show the great fear
in which 1t has always been held.
Medical science has learned little or
nothing regarding leprosy. One of
the strongest arguments for the care
of the 'unclean' is. that such an instl-
tuition would make possible a careful
study of the disease and, perhaps, in
time result in the discovery of
cure. There is government institu-
ton for the care of lepers In Hawaii,

ing to the youth of our city and is ulti-

CHANCELLOR MAGlE'S s DECISION

In Chancery Chambers this morning
Chancellor Magic handed down his decis-
ion in the seastream contempt case ii
connection with Sunday base ball play-
ing in Bayonne The case attracted
much attention in the conrts last sum
mer. Chancellor Magic agreed with the
findings of yice-C Chancellor pifney, who
this morning occupied a seat alongside
Of him. The defendants Howard Grif-
fths, Benjamin Islagenso,e and August

Gnltitls and camain Haagepson were
each fined $1,000 and costs Of court.
William Davis was fined $3.50 and sea-
stream got off with fine Of $40
Chancellor Magic reviewed the his
tory Of the case. which grew out Of two
conflicting afidavits made BY August

vania ferryhcat Who Ewes near the
grounds chat were ffxeI up in Bayoane

atlidavits, one setiing forth that Sun

all tile residents Ia fhe ncighborhood of
lie grounds in question, known as East
en- Eeague Park. and The other Is fne
effect that Sunday base ball playing in
said park id not II he least annoy the
residents Of the vicinity and did not
constitute a nuisance
When yiee-Chaneellor Pitney learned
Of the opposing affiaavits Of seastream
he referred the matter to Judge Blair.
Who entered INFO an inquiry and took tes-
fimony from the above named defendants
AMI Witnesses il az order to show cause
why they should not be held in contempt
of Court in advising seastream to stay
away from the Court of Chancery in
which he had been cited to appear in the
Sunday base ball controversy.
seastream's first affdavit was secured
by Lawyer Elmer W. Demorest, who
represented number Of properly owners
opposed to Sunday baseball playing and
who declared the crowds attracted TO
Eastern League Park on the occasion of
its opening were disorderly and consti-
tuted nuisance The second affidayit
was made By seastream in this city, and
at that time there were present NIessrs.

Peter Bentley was completely exonerat-
ed
In reviewing the case and imposing
the penalties this morning Chancellor
Magic, while decrying the efforts alleged
to have been put forward to secure
Seastream's second affidavit, calmly crit
icized the defendants He said that his
reason for making Mr.. Dayis's fine SO
much smaller than those imposed on
Messrs GrifEiths and Haagenson was
that he was acting on legal advice and
that his imposition of but a $40 fine on
seastream was because he was poor and
had shown really penitent spirit The
Chancellor said that he had no doubt that
seastream had been unduly influenced.
Haageuson is captain of the ferryboat on
which seastream is employed.

John Doscher, Republican leader Of
the Twelfth Ward, is growing a bit
nervous over the announcement that the
friends Of Daniel Fitzhenry, who ran for
Supervisor last fall, are making a deter-
mined fight to land him in the $1,000 q
year berth Of Deputy Collector of Gus
toms which County Clerk-elect John
Rotterdam is soon to yacate. Doscher
has his eye, or, rather, both eyes. on this
office, and if he does not get it he will
have no more faith in promises. After
his defeat for Street and Water Cons
issioner and the failure of Mayor Pagan
to remember him the first of the year
Doscher made up his mind that politics
was not what it was cracked up to be,
and he was seriously considering getting
out of the game altogether. The tempting
bait Of the Deputy Collectorslip was held
before him, and once more he got into
the ofice-seeking habit. Until Fitzheh-
rvs friends got butting in Desclier had
the appointment within his grasp. Now
he is kept busy keeping it from getting
away from him.
