NAVAL BOARD REPORT.
All Recommendations Made Unani
mously to Be Adopted.

With the approval of the President, Sec
retary Meyer has decided to adopt at
once all recommendations, in which the
members We're unanimous, made by the
board appointed by the Secretary to
reconcile certain discrepancies In the
first chapter of 1909 naval regulations,
which was revised by former Secre-
tary. Newberry. and approved by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. While the board of
which Rear Admiral Sperry was chair
man, handed a majority and minority
report to the Secretary, each making
separate recommendations to reconcile
that chapter of the regulations with the
remaining chapters of the book. its menu
bers came to unanimous conclusions on
certain regulations. Secretary Meyer
did not make public these recommenda-
tions but the new regulations probably
will be announced after President Taft
has signed them. The conflicting regu-
lations have TO do with the duties of
the various bureaus. a coordination of
n consolidation of the work at the navy
yards. recognized by former Secre-
tary Newberry.
Those parts OF the regulations on which
the boards could not agree. and on which
they made separate reports. will be fur
ther considered by Secretary Meyer. He
will reserve his decision in regard to
the remainder of the recommendations
until lie has thoroughly considered those
made by both the majority and minority.

GERMAN EXPERT TO SEE EARLY
DIR. EDWARD EHLERS TO DE-
eide IF He is LEPRoUS.
Or. L. D. Bulkeley Explains His
Course Satisfactorily and Asks
Permission for Examination.

John Il. Ear3y. dweller i'm the leper
camp on the eastern branch. will soon be
examined probably by another expert in
leprosy.
DIR. Edward Ehlers of the Royal Fried
rich Hospital of Copenhagen, a specialist
in leprosy. arrived in New York city yes
terday. He plans to come to Washington.
DIR. l.. Duncan Bulkeley of New York,
who recently examined Early without let
ting the health department know of his
visit has written Health Officer Wood
ward 10 ask If DIR. Ehlers can visit Early
and make a diagnosis of his case.
Health Officer Woodward declared this
morning that DR. Ehlers would be given
permission promptly to make an exam
ination of Early to determine whether
or not he has leprosy and that DIR. Bulke-
ley, upon his own request. will be grant
ed permission to visit Early again.
Dr. Woodward today received a letter
from DR.. Bulkeley. The health officer
says DIR. Bulkeley explains that he went
to visit Early without knowing Early's
status with the health department and
that the failure of DIR. Bulkeley to notify
the health department of his visit was
due to a misunderstanding of the rela-
tions between Early and the department.
Dr.. Bukeley, according to DIR. Wood
ward, said he did not know that Early
occupied house on a government reser-
walton and was practically in the custody
OF the department.
Failing to understand that relation, he
declared, he did not ask permission to
see Early. He explained that he might
want to see Early again and desired per-
mission.
Health Officer Woodward said the ex-
PLANTATION was entirely satisfactory.
DIR. Ehlers Is quoted as saying that
there are many lepers walking the streets
of New York city. He said that little
precaution has been taken to prevent
lepers from coming to this country.
During his visit to Washington, he will
report these conditions to Surgeon Gem
eral Wyman of the public health and ma
rtne hospital service
