would be happy anywhere"
Early has thought things were favorable
since the visit paid him a week ago by
Dr. Bulkley. He is still firmly OF the
opinion that he has not the leprosy and
says he has always felt that God would
answer his prayer and deliver him from
the place where he has lived since last
year. ID Is satisfied that when he
reaches New York he will have such
treatment at the Skin and Cancer Hos
pital that he will soon be on the road to
recovery.
There" he says. 'I can have DR..
Bulkley attend me and can have my wife

Early's Haircut Approved.
At his home last evening Early seemed
proud that he had made so good q fob
OF his tonsorial effort. His haircut. call
ers admitted. had been done In a fashion
which would have done credit to many
artists who do business behind red, white
and blue signs. He shaves almost every
day and keeps himself in readiness TO
make q hurried departure. feeling that
will receive the glad tidings that he is
to be taken to New York.
Mrs Early. his faithful wife. Is con-
stantly on hand. She has been wearfed
disappointments. but nothing is too much
trouble for her.
You know" she said TO a Star re-
porter. I'VE still hold that Mr. Early is
not a leper. and will do everything pos
sible to get him away from here. Un-
der treatment in New York we feel that
he will get well and be able to return
to work. Here there seems to be little
hope for him. The strain has been some-
thing terrible. but we hope 1t Will soon
Early and his wife are showing their
confidence in DR.. Bulkley and Attorney
Benjamin s. Minor. and feel certain that
the two men in professional life will
make successful ending OF their under

and discusses the case with him. They
go over the letters that are received from
DR.. Buikley. telling Of what is being

Early and his wife have followed the
rule Of never concealing anything. No
effort has been made to raise his hopes

suffering. but he prefers to have his CAM
paign for freedom conducted in that man
ner.
Hope Not Abandoned.
Early has some friends who appeared
to seem as hopeful last night as ever
They declared that the outlook Is still
bright and express the belief that 1t will
be only q short while before Early Is
taken away to New York. but did not
state the grounds Of their belief.
Health Omcer Woodward has but little
to say about the pending negotiations
Attorney Benjamin s. Minor. counsel for
Early, would not be interviewed about
the affair.
He has stated. however. that when
Early is taken to New York. every ef-
fort. will be made to have his departure
made as quietly as possible.
Mrs. Early has done everything In her
power to get her husband away from his
present quarters. Some time was spent
in New York. where she saw DIR. Bulk
ley and other friends. and interested
them In her husbands behalf. It is due
almost wholly to her efforts that his
case is attracting the attention Of peo-
pie In all parts OF the country.
'All I want" she states. "is to have
my husband taken to New York where
he can get proper treatment In the hos
pital. I want him where DIR. Bulkley can
see him frequently and give him what
medicine. II any. he needs.
is not a leper. II it should prove that
he has the disease the hospital authori-
ties In New York are willing to treat
him. I don't see why he should be de-
tanned here"
Early does not understand why any
obstacle should be placed In the way
OF his going to New York. He Is under an
expense of more than $40 day to the
District. and should he have to remain
creased, as he will insist upon being fur
nished His food and clothing. his PEN
sion being not more than enough to sup
port the other members OF his family.
he will do when some definite action is
taken. whether it results favorably Or
unfavorably, and will not lose any time
in putting his plans in execution.
Rumor Of Additional Case.
1t was rumored late last night that
additional case of leprosy has been dis
covered in the city The report is that
the victim is soldier, but his place of
service was not given. The local health
officials stated they had not heard of
the case and the rumor was not COLI
hrmed.
