STATEMENT BY MR.. STEPHENS
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ex-
plains That Examination Is Nee
essary to Protect the District.

John r Early, quarantined as leper
on the Eastern branch cannot leave the
District of Columbia or the quarantine
of the local health department until he
suhmits to an examination by a disin-
terested physician or board OF physi-
clans.
This is the position taken by the legal
adviser of the District, Assistant Cor
poration Counsel F. II. Stephens, as an
nounced this morning.
There has been some discussion be-
tween Health officer Woodward and the
representatives of Early as to whether
or not Early would be allowed to go to
submit to an examination at any time
after he left here.
Could Not Be Enforced.
At first. it is understood. Health Of
fcr Woodward was inclined to agree to
the plan. Mr.. Stephens this morning ex-
pressed the opinion that no agreement
could be drawn which could be specifi-
cally enforced after Early left the care
of the local health office, and. therefore,
rejected the plan.
Unless Early agrees to the PROPOSE
tion to have an examination made or
him before he leaves the District by a
disinterested physician or board of spe-
cialists, Mr.. Stephens says. the District
will refuse to let him go and invite
EarIy's representatives to bring habeas
corpus proceedings for his release. The
court will then be asked, Mr. stephens
said, to appoint board of disinterested
specialists to examine Early and deter
mine whether he is unlawfully de-
tanned.
Minor Details to Be Arranged.
Health Officer Woodward declared
this morning that while he does not
want to discuss the present state Of the
negotiations. there remain only the
minor details to be arranged before
Early can go to New York. The matter
has become to certain extent a legal
one now. it is declared. and conferences
have been held between Benjamin 5.
Minor. Early's attorney. and Assistant
Corporation Counsel Stephens.
Mr.. Stephens places his contention
that Early should be examined by dis
interested physicians while still in the
District on the ground that 1T is neces-
sary to protect the District.

Successor Not Yet Considered.
BERLIN. June oS.-Emperor William
has not yet given consideration to the
question of successor to Chancellor Won
Buelow. The most probable choice, how
ever. is Dr. Won Bethmann-H Hollweg. i'm
perial secretary of state for the interior

contact with the emperor for some ten
years as president of the province OF
Brandenburg and imperial secretary. and
his impersonal relations with the emperor
are cordial.
AS secretary OF the interior DR.. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg has dealt with affairs
between the federated states and the en-

PREMIUMS FOR BONDS.
House Committee Will Give Hear.
ing to Companies.

The House committee on appropriations
will give hearing tomorrow to officers OF
bonding companies on the subject of in
creased charges for bonding government
officials. Chairman Tawney of the COM
mittee is working out a proposed plan to
create a fund by which government Of
fcials can be bonded at q cost based on
actual experience Of loss, to be presented
at the next session.
striking object lesson of the ex-
penses OF bonding officials was given in
the action of the conferees on the census
bill. who increased the salary of the dis
bursting officer of the census bureau 1915
q year because the bonding companies
have trebled the rate of premium he
must pay for his bond
In this case the government, 1t was
claimed. indirectly pays the increased de-
mands of the bonding companies.
At this session of Congress Mr.. Tawney
will endeavor to secure an amendment to
a deficiency appropriation bill limiting the
rate of premiums on bonds to the rate
charged before the increase.

CENSUS BILL READY FOR TAFT
NEEDS ONLY HIS SIGNATURE TO
BECOME LAW.
Geographical Apportionment Provid-
ed-Washington Residents Bar
red From Appointment.

The confArees Of the two houses having
reached an agreement on the disputed
points In the bill providing for the thir-
teenth census, the House today accepted
their report, leaving nothing but the ac-
ton OF the Senate and the signature of
the President necessary to make 1t law.
The most important provision OF the
bill is one pertaining to the general civil
service and not especially to the census.
This provision was inserted as an amend
ment by the Senate.
It requires that hereafter all examine
tions OF applicants for positions In the
government service from any state shall
be conducted in the state in which such
applicant resides. 1t ID further provided
that persons taking the examinations
shall have been actually doniciled In
the state for at least a year previous
to examination.
The provision is intended to prevent
the appointment Of residents of Wash
ington upon Endorsements obtained
through the mails. a practice which. 1t
is claimed. has been carried on to such
an extent as to make an abuse of 1t.
Competitive examinations are provided
for the clerical employees necessary in
conducting the census. This requirement
is not made applicable to supervisors and
enumeratorS.
Only one person from family will be
admitted under the examination. The
provision is made general to all branches
OF the civil service.
A geographical apportionment is also
provided for.
The appointment OF emergency en-
ployes for a period not longer than sixty
days Is authorized. It Is required that
these appointments shall be made from
the eligible list.
The provisions authorizing the construc-
tion OF a census building In Washington
and directing an investigation of the ma
val stores at Savannah, Ga. were strick-
en- out.

A. NJ. Herring. the New York aero
pianist who holds a contract with the
government to deliver a flying machine,
today sent word to Gen. James Allen.
the chief signal officer. that he would
be unable to deliver his machine by

member of the Aerial Experiment As
sociation, and who made a flight OF one
mile in New York Saturday. would
reach Washington today to make a prop
osition to Gen. Allen regarding Mr.. Her
rings contract.
1t is believed that Mr.. Herring desires
permission to use a Curtiss aeroPlane
instead of the one which he was sup
posed to be constructing for the Signal
Corps. 1t also is probable that he dc
sires to have Mr.. Curtiss make the
