EARLY HAS SLIGHT
CHANCE OF LIBERTY
Quarantine to Be More
Strict--Further Exami-

Unless the Health Department receives
more assurance than that yet offered as
to his freedom from Ieprosy, John Early

tTict government on the Eastern branch

ward said today that despite the opinion
expressed by DR.. Buckley. the vigilance
Of the department would be in no way
relaxed
Extra precautions will be taken in
view of the fact that Early. by his own
admission, believing that he is not a
leper. has disregarded the sanitary regu-
lations by sending through the mails a
section of tissue from ieprous spot
to a Swedish physician. II this is the
attitude Of the man and his family to-
ward quarantine, 1t will clearly be
necessary for the department to render
more stringent the surIeiiiSnce to
which he is now Subjected" said DIR.
Woodward today.
while It Is the desire On the depart
ment that he be given every comfort
and as much liberty as possible under
the circumstances, the safety of the
community demands that he be segre-
gated.
Dr. Woodward also said that he had
received the official report Of Dr.. Bulk
ley as to Early's condition.
II have as yet arrived at no definite
understanding with respect TO DR.. Bulk
legs attitude in this case said the
Health OFFICER" although he was in
formed that the diagnosis of the de-
partment was confirmed BY man
whose scientific attachments he must
have recognized as quite equal to his
own. he did not take the trouble to see
the specimens that had been taken from
Early or to consult with the physician
connected with the department who had
Early under observation.

Early. DR.. Buckley expressed the great
est confidence in the Swedish specialist
Notwithstanding my own opinion that
the report Of Dr. EhleU is conclusive, /
