LEPER WELL CARED FOR.
Efforts Being Made to Return Rosetu
to Syria.

to Syria.
Surgeon General Wyman of the marine
hospital service says that his establishment
has no appropriation that would permit the
handling Of the Syrian leper, George Ro-
setti. about whose case there has been much
talk. Rosetu is now living in a tent on a
mountain side near Elkins, w. Va, and is
refused permission to leave that vicinity.
DR.. Wyman says that the leper is at pres
ent being cared for by the health author
tiles of Randolph county, w. Va, who give
him food and drink and he is not In the
terrible plight that has been represented.
Dr.. Wyman said yesterday that the panic
that had been caused by the appearance of
Rosetti at several places before he was
finally hauled back to Elkins was ridicu-
lous In the extreme. He declared that the
disease Is not contagious except under GER
tain conditions. which do not exist in the
case Of Rosettf II met Joseph Dutton last
summer" said DR.. Wyman. HE has
taught school to the leper boys of the Island
of Molokai. Hawaii, for seventeen years,
and has not contracted the disease. He
takes only ordinary care to avoid the in
fection. In Minnesota lepers are permitted
to live at their homes, and are simply re-
quired to observe certain sanitary rules,
adopted by the board of health. There has
been no spread of the disease in that state.'
Although DR.. Wyman has no official of his
service investigating the case he is interest
ing himelf in 1t as best he can, hoping to
aid the efforts to get the man to his home
in Syria. A man known to DIR. Wyman is
trying to raise a fund to return the leper
to his own country.

GERMANY AND RUSSIA.
Report Of Interference Of Kaiser
Strongly Rejected.

BERLIN. August 10.-The Cologne Ga
zette today, discussing the report circulated
in Russia that Germany intends to inter-
fere and maintain the throne OF. Emperor
Nicholas If it becomes necessary, rejects
the idea of interference Internationally. 1t
says:
The incursion of foreign armies into
Russia to support the Russian emperor
would be of the worst possible service to
him. since It would arouse the wrath and
indignation of the Russian people against
him. Moreover. wholesome national self
interest Internationally forbfds Germany
from mixing in the Russian trouble. The
idea of the interference of one nation inter-
fering in the affairs of another has grown
decidedly unpopular within the last few de-
cades. Russia's interference in Hungary
in 1S4S brought Russia advantage what
ever. but caused harm, since it aroused the
irreconciable hatred Of foreign nation
against her.
The Cologne Gazette denies that any de-
sire exists in Germany to interfere in favor
of Russian officialdom or the imperial fam
lily of Russia.

AFTER THE CLERKS.
Heads Of Rooms to Make q Report
in WRITING

AedoS OF Rooms TO Make Report
in Writing.
One result Of the recent efforts of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to put the government exec
utive departments on a better working
basis is the order of a number Of the chiefs
of divisions, issued this week, calling par
ticular attention to the act Of Congress of
July IL, 1890, which provides "that hereafter
it shall be the duty of the heads Of the sew
eral executive departments Of the govern
ment to report to Congress each year in the
annual estimates the number of employees
in each bureau and Office and the salaries
of each who are below fair standard Of
efficiency"
While this provision has been in effect for
years, 1t Is well known that leniency on
the part OF the heads of bureaus and of
departments has prevented its being carried
out strictly and that as consequence there
Is much dead timber in nearly all Of the
departments. The activity Of the Keep
commission and also of the assistant COM
mittees of departmental officials. organized
by that commission, has called for a strict
er Interpretation and enforcement of this
provision and 1t will behoove every laggard
In the service of Uncle Sam to hump"
himself, If he wishes to keep his job.
The chief clerks are now asking for q
report in writing relative to the force un-
der the immediate supervision of heads of
rooms. This "black list" will be a good
place for clerks to keep their names away
from.

ELECTION STRIFE
Policy Holders Defeated in
Court Decision Today.
BY JUDGE HOWARD AT TROY
A Victory for the Administration
Forces.
NAMES TO REMAIN ON TICKET
However, the Defeated Faction Will
Have Candidates in the Field
When Time Arrives.
A Victory for the Administration
Forces.
NAMES TO REMAIN ON TICKET

TROY. N. Y. August 1O-A decision was
handed down today by Justice Howard IA
vorable to the administration ticket of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company and the
state Superintendent Of insurance in an ac-
tion brought by policy holders to compel the
state superintendent to strike names from
anti-policy holders ticket
The title Of the action is the people ex rel.
Alfred M Shook against Otto Kelsey, state
superintendent Of insurance and the de-
cision Is a victory for the directors of the
Mutual company. The law requires that
life insurance companies, through their d.
rectors. shall nominate an administration
ticket for its annual election, and permits
any one hundred policy holders to nominate
another ticket. The board of directors nomi-
mated an administration ticket and placed
upon It, with others. the names of Alfred
M. Shook of Tennessee. Judge George Gray
Of Delaware. Gen. Benjamin F. Tracy OF
New York and Harlow N. Higinbotham of
Chicago. who. it is claimed, were well
known to be opposed to the policy of the
board of directors.
Mr.. Shook and the other men named pro-
tested against the use of their names on the
administration ticket, alleging that they
edge or consent, all for the express pur-
pose of deluding and deceiving those in
clined to be supporters Of the policy hold
ers ticket.
Charge of Hoodwinking.
The administration supporters. Mr.. Shook
and his co-plaintiffs allege, seek to hood
wink policy holders in general by leading
them to believe that the entire ticket made
up by them is OF the high character of
the four gentlemen named, and that these
gentlemen approved the policy and methods
Of the administration, which, 1t is claimed.
is not the fact.
In view of that alleged deception and
OF the protest of Mr.. Shook and his as
sociates the court was asked for an order
directing the state superintendent Of in
surance to strike the names of Messrs.
Shook, Gray, Tracy and Higinbotham from
the administration tickets. This order JUS
tice Howard denies on legal grounds, with
out going into the subject in controversy
between the parties, taking the position
that the state superintendent of insurance
is not required by law to do what the Pc
titioners ask, and cannot be directed by
a court to do a thing the law does not re-
quire him to do.
This decision does not make 1t necessary
for friends of the policy holders ticket to
vote the administration ticket. There will
be policy holders ticket in the field when
the time Of election comes, it is said
