Against any assumption that the

nearly all the available evidence is
against the possibility of transferring
leprosy by incubation, which would
be the process involved if these were
after the manner in
which the flea conveys plague infee-

BRINCkERHOFF'S
FIRST REPORT
Discusses Problems of Lepr0sy
Research and Prospect
of a Cure.

f'In spite of the more or less vigor-
Gus enforcement of segregation, lep-
rosy has increased among the Hawai-
ians and is becoming more and more
a disease of the inhabitants of the
Territory Of other races. The fact
that there are more known lepers per
capita among the Hawaiians now than
formerly might be due to more strict
segregation, but l am not inclined to
believe this to be the real explanation.
The increasing numbers of non-Hawai-
ian lepers, shown among the Portu-
guese and japanese particularly, is
probably due to importation as much
as to infection acquired in this Terri
tory Both the races named must be
classed as people among whom leprosy
conclusion to be drawn from this fact
is that leprosy in Hawaii will not con-
tinue to be problem related to the
native race alone, but will persist and
always be a menace unless some eff
fective means be devised to check its
spread.
''From a public health standpoint
the most urgent problem is how to
get lepers segregated early in the
course of the disease. Two general
lines of policy may be pursued to this
end: First, to improve the conditions
of care for lepers so as to increase the
number who will surrender voluntari-
"; and, second, to use every means
possible to collect cases of the dis
ease.
With this striking summary, DR..
Walter R. Brinckerhoff, director of the
Federal leper hospital and research
laboratory on Molokai Island, Hawaii,
concludes the first of three reports
which will soon be issued by the Ma
rine Hospital Service.
Dr. Brinckerhoff gives a complete
review of the history of the disease in
Hawaii since it became a public health
problem in 1868 and the Inauguration
of the policy of segregation in 1865.
Among the statistics presented are
those for the period 19045, showing
the percentage of increase among the
races here other than Hawaiian, the
percentages among the 400 cases seq
regated in that period being: Hawai-
ians and part awaiians, S3.5; Chi
nese, 6.s; Japanese. %; Portuguese,
80, and all others, 4.3.

President Has Been Busy.

With all this ferment on the Hill,
the President has been getting
busy At first he told visiting Com
gressmen that he looked upon the Sc
cret Service paragraph of his message
as a huge joke at the expense of Con-
gress for having undertaken to inter
fere with his administration of the Sc
cfet Service. But Senators replied
that it was a very serious kind of a
joke and they did not propose to ig-
more it.
And so things went on and the Pres
ident called Chief Wilkie of the Secret
Service to his office. What transpired
has not been given to the public, but
it is understood that Mr.. Wilkie was
directed to prepare a statement and
that the President will have something
TO say in justification of his action.
Speaker Cannon and some Senators
have also been called to the White
House in regard to the Secret Service
situation
Word has gone out that the President
intends TO fight back and that he will
make it uncomfortable indeed for a
number of Congressman, if anything
like a censure of him is undertaken.
Many think this is something eff a bluff
on the President S part to scare the
Senate and the House and to deter them
from any vigorous action AS a mat
ter of fact the purpose of the Senate
and the House apparently is to act as
mildly and in as dignife6 way as pos
sible, but at the same time to leave no
doubt of their official disapproval.

THE LONG FLIGHT
 OF WILLIE R0SAS
This Habitual Runaway is Again Ab-
 sent From Home.

Willie ROsas is absent again. He is the nine year old son of Andres RoSas of 734 South Center street and he has been running away from home ever since he could walk. He has now been gone three days and his parents have been unable to secure the slightest trace of him. About a year ago he ran away and after he had been gone for several days he was found by the sheriff's office near Peoria where he had concealed his identity by misstate- ments so ingenious that it was diff cult to believe that they could have been made up by a boy of that age.
 His present flight was made known to the office Of the sheriff yesterday. His mother said that about two weeks ago she learned that he had not been at school and when he came home one night she took him to task about it. He replied that he was not going to school anymore. He said he had found an American who was going to adopt him and take him "a hong ways off. '' He was going to give him good clothes, send him to school and treat him right and when he got older he was going tO give him plenty of money.
 Mrs Rosas thought nothing of this conversation until a day ago when it struck her that there might have been something i nthe boys story, as un- reasonable as it appeared at the time.
 The missing boy is small for his age. When he left home he was bare foot; wore knee pants and a shirt of check material and a cheap advertis- ing cap At that time the boy was suffering from a bad cold.

UNIVERSITY WINS
 EXCITING CONTEST
High School Plays Fine Game Against Great Odds-Here Next Saturday.

Tucson, April 25.-(Special)-The Phoenix High school lost today by a score of to 10 to the University of Arizona in d most exciting contest. It was anybody's game till the end of the ninth inning. Phoenix made surprising showing. Hurley was not in the best of form but Myers the um- pire was very unsatisfactory. Four Phoenix batters were hit by the pitch CT but were not allowed 10 take their base and decisions on balls and strikes were cratic. Notwithstanding the High school put up plucky fight, scoring six runs in the first two inn ings. Tucson began scoring in the third. In the fourth the High school went off it's feet and the Varsity tall lied four times. Two in the seventh and two in the last gave the Coed Heroes the victory. Luck broke ir, their favor in the ninth. Phoenix had two on bases and one gone. Hurley drove the ball to center on a line but the fielder made a most unusual catch preventing tieing the score. The High school had men on bases in most every inning.
 This is the first of a series deter mined on. The university team will

Blood poisoning set in, and a sore formed which ate so deeply that my wife could see the bone. I thought 1 should lose my leg, and for long time was unable to step on my foot. I then bethought me of previous time when troubled with eczema and Hoods Sarsaparilla did me good. So I decided to go back to my old friend once more. In short time found the Sarsaparilla was purifying my blood, for the wound commenced to heal, andto look altogether different from it's previous in- famed and raw condition. In short time 1t completely closed up, and today that leg is the better of the two.
