LEPER TO STAY IN DISTRICT
SOLICITOR NAKxs
RULING IN EARLY's CASE.
No Power to Order Stricken Mans
Deportation to Home in North
Carolina.

With its last recourse apparently ex-
hausted. it is evident the District of
Columbia must assume all responsibility
for John Early, the leper, and keep him in
quarantine and care for him until the
termination of his disease The solicitor
Of the Treasury. to whom the matter was
referred by Secretary Cortelyou made a
ruling today that the Treasury Depart
ment has no power to make regulations
under which Early can be deported from
the city. or to govern IS permanent care.
The authorities @ .>orth Carolina have
refused to accept csponsibility for Early
or to permit hi again to cross the state
line to 60 to h; home In that state.
So far as til, present status OF this I'M
usual case is concerned the government
Of the District Of Columbia can go no
farther. and 1t is evident the health de-
partment will be compelled to make good
its promise that Early should be housed
and guarded and treated by the depart
ment If North Carolina should disciaim
responsibility for him. With the advent
of cold weather the time is at hand, too;
when some quarters more substantial
than the tent in which the leper has been
living must be provided and the plans to
construct q small cottage for him on the
shore of the Eastern branch in the same
general locality as his tent must soon
be carried into effect.

Situation in Maryland.

time before the regular Tuesday cabinet

President about the case of Llewellyn

sentative Pearre how the campaign is
going in Maryland. He was informed by
the roadside. and unless the republican
party did not stoop down and pick it up

to the President the necessity for more
political activity in dis state.
He said Gov. Hughes of New York was

The White House has received from F.

man, now in Panama. who writes OF con-
ditions there. This Is what the Elmira
man says:
Il did not know until I came here what
a grand and noble government that Of the
good old U.SA. is. Can man kick when
the government furnishes the hospital and
equipment free and then pays man for
his time while sick?
Can man kick when the government
puts about $4,000 into Y. NJ. G. A.
building and equipments and pays the
secretary's salary and makes it a free
home to all just for the nominal sum OF
an ordinary y. NJ. c. y. fee? No, I do
not see any chance for a man to kick.
And when I hear one Kick fand you will
always find kicker in every bunch).

There are four of these buildings on
the zone at $4,000 each. That is just the
way the government is doing everything
for the comfort. pleasure and convenience
of its employees. It's good enough for
