CUMBERLAND, Md, July 21-Georse
Rossett, the Syrian leper from Beyruth. is
speeding his way east on a Baltimore and
Ohio freight train. Last night the police
took him to Evitts Creek and put him In
an empty Baltimore and Ohio box car.
The permission Of the railroad company
was not sought, the authorities acting on
their own responsibility. The man was
first found here on Baltimore and Ohio
property, although he says he came In from
keyser on the Western Maryland railroad
In q freight car. He had intended to stay
at keyser, but the car moved out during
the night. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company showed no disposition to
help the authorities out. SO they acted as
they deemed best.
The leper said he knew that he had len
rosy and that II he was left alone and not
stopped everywhere he would reach his des-
tfnation-North Brothers Island, N. r.
where he has a cousin in the leper COLONY
1t VIII take the man three or four days to
reach New York by the freight route. even
II he Is not intercepted.
He said he would pay his way, but no
one would accept his money, ne having q
big roll The fellow is anxious to get to

LAND OFFICIALS PUZZLED.
Significant Indifference of Those Who
Won Drawings.

BUTTE. Mont, July 21.-A dispatch to
the Miner from Billings gays 1t is estimated
from the present number of persons filing
upon lands in the Crow Indian reservation
that only about II per cent of the total
number of those who drew winning num-
bers will take advantage Of their rights
and select. Only twenty-five of the fourth
group of 125 persons appeared and selected
lands.
The land officials are puzzled over the
state of affairs and the growing indifference
of the Indian lands, only II per cent selec-
ton being wholly disproportionate COM
pared with other openings of Indian reser-
vations. The reluctance to accept lands Is
believed to be due to the high prices to be
asked by the government for the use OF ir-
rigation water.
The new town OF Custer, founded on this
reservation. is fourishing. its population at
present being 800.

Gen. Hains Tells Of His Observations
on the Isthmus.
YELLOW FEVER EXTERMINATED
Good Water Being Furnished to
Panama-Employes Well Fed
Many Of Them Housed.

Brig. Gen. Peter G. Hams, member OF the
fsthmian canal commission who has Just
returned from Panama, said today that the
builders of the canal are already awaiting
with great interest the proposed visit of
PRESIDENT Roosevelt to the canal zone 1t
would mark the expansion OF work to full
blast. and would produce an excellent ef-
feet throughout
On his tour Of inspection through the zone
General Hams was gratIfied with the won
derful advance made in sanitation, In pro-
viding adequate water supply for the city
OF Panama and in the rapid extension of
facilities for the housing and comfort of
the government employees
Il practically did not see a mosquito on
the isthmus during the whole of my stay"
he declared.
Yellow Fever Exterminated.
yellow fever has been exterminated
through the work of Col. Gorgas, who is
still in charge. In the city of Panama
water had sold for something like 5 cents
jug in the old days. being carted down on
muleback and of inferior quality. Now the
inhabitants are provided with an abundant
supply free from the government hydrants
while the houses of the well-to-do are be-
ing equipped with bathtubs and other con-
VonleHces previously Impossible The ad-
vantages were appropriated by the popula-
ton in general.
While some government employees are
still living in the cities because of the in
sufhciency of housing accommodation for
them on the zone. the commission is rapidly
providing buildings for the purpose. A
large hotel Is being built by the United
States government outside the city of Pan
anna for the exclusive use of its employees.
Many already live in houses furnished them
In the zone. The government eating houses
provide excellent and gradually improving g
service at low rates, 30 cents a meal
Gen. Hams said that he had eaten a
meal of the kind provided for the ordinary
laborers and found it very good. More work
has hitherto been done at Panama because
that city was much larger-about twenty
thousand-and strategic to the whole work,
but Colon Is not being neglected. The out
break Of smallpox there will be s1mmarily
dealt with. The sanitary work on the isths
mus will require continued vigilance to
prevent q relapse to former dangers.
Work at Culebra Cut
''The dirt is going eut. stated Gen.
Hains. ''At Culebra nineteen shovels of
the proposed fifty to sixty are already at
work. The dirt is going out fast and In in
creasing volume. That part of the enter
prise Is keeping step and will be carried
out or schedule time together with al other

Meat Establishments That Do Not Do
an Interstate Business.

Discussing the new meat inspection law
today. Secretary Wilson said that there
was considerable misapprehension regard
ing it's scope. 1t does not. he said, apply
to any but siaughtering and meat-packing
houses doing an interstate business.
'Tf the people of this country" said the
Secretary, want to be assured that the
meat that goes into their homes from those
establishments doing purely state and
local business is clean and wholesome, they
should enter upon a crusade for a general
cleaning up. / am powerless, myself, to
act Quite recently / went through some
of these houses not embraced within the
federal law and found them In a nasty,
filthy condition and in some cases using
diseased animals. 1t Is my one regret that
the federal law does not reach them, but
/ earnestly hope the state and city officials
will look after them vigorously as we
propose to look after the others.
