 The detective bureau has been flooded today with inquiries concerning Johnson or Madison, and a steady stream of ac- cusations of bigamy was unrolled before the prisoner. Johnson appeared cheerful under the gathering data of his alleged extensive matrimonial career and his face at times indicated that he found a little amusement In the general disturbance his arrest has caused.

EARLY SHOWS HE
 HAS NO LEPROSY

New York, July 9.-John R. Early, the young southerener heralded about the country as a leper. gave reception to' night to prove that he Is untainted. It was held at the New York Skin and Can cer hospital and was attended by meolcal men. a number of Early's friends and a sprinkling of the public interested in tho case.
 Early, who came from Washington, where he had been locked up for nearly a year, received his guests cordially and discussed his recent isolation.
 The reception was arranged by Dr. l.. Duncan Bulkely, the specialist who brought Early here to show that there is nothing leporous about the man. As the crowd gazed at him tonight, his skin was clear and fresh, while there was nothing to indicate a trace Of any skin infection.
 Early related a humorous incident at the expense of the Washington autnorl- ties:
 What did you do when they had you shut up?" was asked.
 "I raised chickens" he said, land both the chickens and their eggs were sent into Washington and sold In the open market. They wouldn't let my wife come within ten feet of me. but they had watch man who brought me my food. He LOOK no special precautions about 1t either He handled the dishes with his bare hands and carried away the towels that used' too."
 "If Early had been leper those GEES might have spread the disease all over Washington added Dr. Bulkely TIT if had been infectious at all, the eggs would have carried it.'
 What Early has. pr. Bulkely explained. is a simple inflammation of the skin pro- duced by the alkali used in the pulp mill where he formerly worked in North Carolina.
