4 PATHETIC CASE @
AGED VETERAN or TWO WARS
STANDS BY His LEPRcUs
WIFE.
TODECAREDFORIA ARIZONA
Cen. WardwelI Removed His WIFE
From Los Angeles Hospital
by etealth--A Much AZ.
hlcted Couple.

Tombstone, Ariz., Aug. 10.--The
| pathetic case Of Gen. D. X. Wardwell
o veteran Of the Mexican and Civil
wars and his wife. who ID a lepeT, ID
in . fair way Of being disposed Of BY
| the territorial officials, and 1t 10 pos
sible that the devotion Of the husband
will prevail and win be permitted to
remain by his afflicted wife.
1t 10 proposed to isolate the couple
near this place and keep them under
care and treatment Of the county Of
icials. The fact that the form Of lep-
rosy from which the woman is suf-
fering Il not communicated by con-
tact, makes the solution Of the prob
lem easier.
The federal court was appealed to
by the local officials but 1t has replied
to the board Of supervisors that there
is no law under which the deporta-
ton OF Mrs. Wardwell to the leper
colony Of Molokai can be effected, thus
leaving the territorial government to
its own, resources.
Gov. Kibbey has wired the county
officials that the territorial superinten-
dent Of health has been ordered to
Tombstone to Investigate the case.
Gen. Wardwell's anxiety to save his
wife from deportation may influence
the authorities In deciding to provide
for the isolation Of the couple.
Mrs. Wardwell has brother sery-
ing a ten-year sentence in the Yuma
penitentiary for murder and Gov.
Kibbey has been petitioned 70 grant
him pardon under condition that he
take care Of his sister.
In addition to being leper Mrs.
WardwelI's mind is affected and she
Is kept chained to her bed to prevent
recurrence Of her escape Of some
days ago. Mr.. Wardwell, who 10 So
years old, Is suffering from cancer.
This adds to the pathos Of the case.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Wardwell
was a patient at the county hospital
in Los Angeles while her husband was
an inmate Of the soldiers home near
that city.
In order to thwart an attempt to
separate them and that he might care
for his wife the old veteran had her
stealthily removed to this place, her
former home. The county authorities
at once took charge Of the couple and
have been puzzled ever since to find
a way to care for them.
The title Of general was won by Mr..
Wardwell while serving in the Mexi-
can army against Maximillion.

Washington, Aug. 1O.--Though vir-

not recruit its death-marked popula-

Arizona for the speedy deportation Of
aged Mrs. Gen. Wardwell, whom the
terrible disease has claimed for its
victim.

SENATE IS FAVORABLE
To Increase in Mail Carrying Rates
For the Pacific Steamers.

Washington. Jan. 3o.-The commit
tee of the Senate today authorized a
favorable report on Senator CALM
gers bill to extend the mail CARRYING
rates from vessels Of the 2o-knot class
10 1s-knot vessels on routes to South
America, to the Philippines via Japan
and China and to Australasia. the
passage of the bill will mean an award
of $4 per statute mile for vessels on
these routes carrying United states
mails instead Of 81 per mile which they
are now receiving. The 20-knot Aneri-
can steamships are all confined to the
Atlantic. A grant of 81 per mile to the
other lines mentioned, it is believed
will aid them to bring about improve
ment in their service. 1t IS 1reeiy a"-
mitted that the measure is in the ma
ture of a ship subsidy bill and it is re-
ported that it is the only bill OF TINS
class which the Senate will consider
at this session.
