RossI MAY BE DEPo:RTED.
The Government Takes Up the Case
of the Syrian Leper.


In tent. on black mount ain side, in
Randolph county. w. Va, not far from
the town of Elkins, George Rossi, the Syr-
ian leper, about whom there has been so
much concern on the part of the health au-
thorities of dozens of cities during the past
three weeks, is existing without care of
any kind. The people in the vicinity are
said to be panic stricken over the presence
of the leper, and the health authorities of
the state Of West Virginia are threatening
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad with all
diseased man into the state
The case finally has been brought to the
attention Of the United States authorities
after the afflicted man has been shunted
from place to place in several states with
out being able to find an abiding place
where he can have proper care Orders
were issued today that Rossi be visited. In
his mountain tent, and examined by a sur
geon of the marine hospital service and a
Syrian interpreter, with view OF ascer-
tanning his status in this country
1t is understood, in an unofficial way, that
the man came to the United States about
four years ago. Whether he contracted the
disease of ieprosy after arriving In this
country Is not known, but 1t is assumed
that he was afflicted before he came here
How he got into the country, at what port
what examination he was subjected to and
various other inquiries are what the off,
cials want answered. 1t Is believed that he
is deportable. under the immigration laws
to the country whence he came. Ii he
should be found to be deportable no time
will be lost In sending him back to his own
country, where, by the way, he. is desirous
of going.
