ROOSEVELT DISCUSSED
AS NEW YORK MAYOR

NEW YORK. Jan. H.-The suggestion
made by Jacob Riis. the Presidents
biographer, THAI next year Mr.. Roose-
welt might be willing to run for mayor
of New York, was seriously discussed
by a group OF politicians at the Repub-
lican Club last night. They declared
that the unconventionality OF the move
would not bother the President. while
the chance 10 solve a great national
problem. that Of municipal government,
would appeal 10 him. He is fond Of
big game, and less able hunters have

In greater New York the Hearst peo-
pie have lined up 10000 votes, largely
drawn from Tammany, and the Parsons
Hearst fusion last fall might serve as
a basis for another fusion In 1865. II
was said last night that when Roosevelt
consented 10 the last fusion he might

NEWELL VISITS THE
COLLEGE Of HAWAII

Superintendent of Public Instruction
W. II. Babbitt together with Mr.. New
ell spent some time yesterday at the
College of Hawaii. Mr.. Newell was
very much interested in the work of
Dean Pope in making the relief maps
of the Hawaiian Islands to be used in
the Hawaiian Exhibit at the Alaska
Yukon Exposition. He gave Dean Pope
a number of suggestions in regard to
coloring these maps.
In the relief maps that have here
tofore been made the different islands
have not all been made to the same
scale. But in using these maps in the
exhibit it is necessary that they should
all be drawn to the same scale. For
this purpose it was necessary for the
Survey Department to draw new maps
of some of the Islands in order that
Dean Pope would have the right kind
of guides to work from.

WOULD SEND A
LEPER THIS
WAY
Effort to Put Early on
MoIokai---The Case
J of Breckons.
By Ernest G.. Walker.
(Mail Special to the Advertiser.

(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Hawaiian
affairs have been looming into some
prominence here in the last few days.
The old question of federal control of
the Hawaiian leper colony, at Molokai,
has been raised, indirectly, through a
proposition to send John Early, leper
who has proved exceedingly trouble
some to the District of Columbia, out
there. Several lawyers from Hawaii are
In town, attending to local cases before
the Supreme Court, having begun the
arguments last week. Then the investi-
cation of United States District AttOr-
ney Breckons, at Honolulu, has taken
a new turn in the decision to send w.
A. Harr, special attorney of the Depart
ment of Justice, out to Honolulu, as
was told in cablegram to the Adver-
tiser a few days ago.
The case of John Early will be watch
ed very carefully by the friends of the
AL
mouths ago Early was discovered by
the local authorities to be infected with
Ieprosy. He was impounded in tent,
on the outskirts of the city. The local
newspapers were filed with details
about him. When discovered Early was
penniless. but it developed that he was
an ex-soldier and pension was ulti-
mately secured. This, with local sub
scriptions raised for his support, gave
him quite comfortable sum. He came
here from North Carolina but the Off
cials of the Tarheel state refuse to
have anything to do with him or to
make any provision for his support.
Some weeks ago his wife was allowed
to return to him. She has one child
and another is expected. Everyone in
authority here is at a loss what to do
with Early as the cold winter comes on
and the suggestion was made that he
could be sent to Molokai. Attorney
General Bonaparte was asked by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Cortelyou whether
he (Cortelyou) has any authority of
law to send the man back to North
Carolina. The Attorney General has
reached a decision on that point and
in that connection the question of Molo-
kai has been raised by local newspapers.
The Attorney Generals decision has
not yet been made public, but it is
known that there is nothing in it TO
warrant an attempt to transfer Early to
Molokai. He holds in effect that there
is no law by which the District OF Co
lumbia can force the state of North
