REMOVING AN OBSTACLE.

1t looks as the administration was
steering the Hon. W. M, o. Dawson
across the big pond so that when the
senatorial scrap comes up he will
not, be within advising distance. 1t
has been believed by many that the
one-time governor would be the most
formidable candidate against Senator
Scott. This will open up the way for
other aspirants, but then there is nc
one who has such an excellent four
cylinder political machine as Mr.. Daw
son. There will be much rejoicing
among some would-be politicians when
he finally sails for the Celestial EN-
pire.

TYPHOID MARY
WANTS LIBERTY
Woman Said to Breed Typhus

ISOLATED FOR TWO YEARS
Experts Say She 10 the Most Remark

Prisoner All Her Life Unless Court
Frees Her.
New York, June 30.-After being
kept prisoner in quarantine on North
Brother island for two years, though
not committed by court, Mary Nal
Ion, a cook, was produced before Su-
preme Court Justice Giegerich on a
writ Of habeas corpus in the hope of
regaining her liberty.
The woman, who is known to the
health department as Typhoid Mary,
declared through her lawyer that she
was Illegally deprived of her liberty.
In opposing her application the
health department alleged that Mary
had become a menace to every person
with whom she came in contact, as,
while herself immune she had the
power of communicating typhoid fever
to others, involuntarily, however.
The cook stated that she had been
treated on North Brother island like
a leper and had been compelled to oc-
cupy house by herself, her only com
panion being a dog.
DIR. William Fl. Parks, Of the health
department, says that Mary Ia one Of
more than two score persons in this
country who are known as typhus
bacilli carriers and that her case Is
the most remarkable of all.
The germs are supposed to lodge in
the gall bladder and to be carried
from there by the bile. Meanwhile
new germs are taking the place of
those that are carried away.
The expert declares that every eff
fort has been made to cure Mary, who
Is a remarkably healthy looking wo-
man, but, according to DR.. Parks, with
out avail. He believes that, unless
the court orders otherwise, she will
have to remain on North Brother
island all her life.
