BAD ERROR
Kansan Cannot Prove He Was Born
There and Loses His
Citizenship.

TOPEKA, Kas.. Dec. 21.-Every
without a Country" a fiction of pa
triotism, written at a time when
patriotism was worth much to the
country. Philip Nolan was IMAM
without a country by his own choice,
but John Holmes, a native of Topeka,
Is a man without a country through
the carelessness of another. Philip
Nolan was never allowed to come
within sight of his native land and no
one ever spoke to him of home. John
Holmes can come to the shores of his
native land, but he cannot go farther.
He cannot enter America.
John Holmes is an outcast from
America because some Topeka ply
stefan did not obey the laws of the
state and report the fact of his birth
to the health authorities. Physicians
often assert that it is none of the pub
lies business who Is born or is dead,
and many of them refuse and object
to reporting births Some are care
less and fail to report.
Held at Ellis Island.
Through either carelessness or OBJ
stinacy on the part of some Topeka
physician, John Holmes is being held
at Ellis island by the immigration
authorities until he can obtain proofs
of his birth in this country.
Holmes has written to Mayor Will
lam Green, saying that he was born
in Topeka December 80, 1888. In his
letter he says that the immigration
authorities are holding him in New
York and refusing to allow him to
enter this country until he can obtair
a birth certificate. But there Is nc
record of Holmes birth in Topeka
Mayor Green and other city officials
have hunted through all the birth
records of that year and in Other
years and no trace of the record car
be found. There is no indication thai
lit has ever been made.
In the meantime Holmes is still In
New York. being cared for by the
| American Seamen's Friends societ,
! until other friends can look up a los
copy Of an old family Bible and b,
this they hope to prove that Holmes
was born in this country.
Forces Physicians to Act.
The Holmes case is causing a stil
in Topeka medical circles. Mayo
Green has notified the city physician
to begin prosecutions against ever,
physician that does not report births
The city physician has taken a move
way of getting at these reports. HI
watches the newspapers closely anC
notices the personal items. When h,
| finds that haby has heen horn fo .
family he hunts them up and learn
the name of the attending physician
Then he calls up this physician AM
tells him to make a report at once.
| Usually this brings complete re
port on blanks furnished by the cit
and without further trouble Som
physicians put off making the repor
for few days, and then they get
notice from the city physician tina
unless that report is in within a Ger
tain length of time that a warran
will be sworn out at once.

This Duel Ended Happily.

A duel with a happy ending seems an
anomaly, yet one is commemorated in
Blackwood's Magazine. in an article On
Irish "fire-eaters." The duel as ar
ranged was between John Egan, =
county judge, and Roger Barrett, mas
tor of the rolls. Both men were hum
orous. and the meeting upon the fair
ground Of Donnybrook was character
istic:
Upon the combatants taking their
ground Barrett, who was the challeng-
er, promptly nred without waiting for
the signal to be given, and then walked
coolly away calling out:
Now, Egan, my honor IL satisfied"
The Judge, however, was by no means
contented, and shouted, Halo! Stop.
Roger, till I take q shot at your
honor!"
Barrett thereupon came back, and,
planting himself in his former station.
said composedly:
"All right, then; fire away!"
Egan presented his pistol. and, TAX
ing most deliberate aim. first at one
part Of the master Of the rolls anat-
omy and then at another, seemed de-
termined to finish him outright. At
last, however, he cried out:
II won't honor you! won't be
bothered shooting you! So now you
may 70 your own way, or come and
shake hands with me. whichever way
you like best"
Barrett chose to shake hands. and

antagonists departed from the field in
