EARLY NOT TO Be IMpEOEO
CAN GO AWAY AS SOON AS
FRIENDS ARRANGE IT.
Permission From New York Au-
thorities Will Remove All OBJ
stacles to His Departure.

No plans for removal to New York OF
John r. Early. quarantined as leper.
have been formulated, Health Officer
Woodward stated 10 Star reporter to-
day.
There Is nothing on file in the health
department which will indicate that the
New York state or the New York city
board of health will accept Early. DR.
Woodward referred TO the correspondence
with the New York health oficials had
last October.
He has not been advised that DR. L.
Duncan Bulkley. the New York expert
has obtained any further authorization
than contained in the letters he brought
here last Sunday
An effort will he made to get Earl,
away from this city secretly, 1t is be.
lieved. by some persons interested in the
affair, as soon as the New York authori
ties give permission for him to enter tina,
state. 1t is confidently expected that this
Will be obtained.
Should the state authorities give such
permission, with the knowledge that Ear
~ is leper, the health officials here are
not likely TO offer the slightest objection
to his going. but will be only too glad tc
lend a helping hand.
The question as to how he will be trans
ported to New York, it is believed, car
De solved without difficulty. 1t may be
that one of the railroads will transpor,
him in a box car: he may go by water
or 1t may become necessary to employ an
automobile.
Should the necessary permission be OBJ
tanned. DR.. Woodward says, Early will bt
taken to New York. Early and his friend,
will only be required to comply with thu
requirements of the health officer
Early Is displaying some anxiety Over
the progress of efforts to get him ava,
from this city.
Last Sunday when DR.. Bulkley. Healtl
OFFICER Woodward and others visited hin
he believed he would surely get away
from here within a week or ten days. Hi
condition at this time seems to indicate h,
is becoming nervous over the delay.
1t is probable he has been in telephoni,
communication with DIR. Rulkley and hi
counsel, BENJAMIN S. Minor, and that h,
knows just what Is being done. 1t wa
confidently expected that the necessary pa
pers would reach here today from DR.
Bulkley. This afternoon they had not ar
rived.
Every effort is being made by friends o
Early to avoid publicity. They hope I,
get him to New York before anything Il

MOVING IN SECRET.
The Administration's Attitude To
ward the Sugar Trust.

ward the sugar Trust.
Will the Taft administra ton go after
the sugar trust under the Sherman anti
trust law?
Additional interest has been aroused in
this question by the action of the sugar
trust in asking for q compromise Of the
suit brought against it in the Pennsyl-
vania courts by the Pennsylvania Re-
filming Company, which is taken as a con-
fession of guilt on the part of the trust.
If the sugar trust is guilty in the Penn
sylvania case. it is argued, it is also
guilty of breaches of the Sherman law,
and It's offer of compromise is taken 20
mean that 1t fears to go before jury
and submit to a cross-eXamination of
its officers.
Attorney General Wickersham's only
statement in regard to the trust cases
has been to the effect that each case will
be considered on its merits. There will
be no blanket policy regarding the trust $
as trusts The evidence that has been
gathered in each case will be considered
separately and Is being carefully studied.
II it warrants action in the courts such
action will be ordered. If not, the case
will be dropped.
1t is not likely, however. that any of
these cases will be taken up in a hurry.
Much of the evidence that has been
gathered for many of the cases. the
Roosevelt administration threatened to
prosecute has been found valueless. and
fresh evidence is being sought that will
amount to something In court.
when we go after a trust or any
other concern or individual we believe TO
be violating the law said q man who is
close to Attorney General Wickersham
in these matters, I'VE are going after
blood. We have no intention of having
our cases thrown out of court because of
flimsy evidence or because we make wild
conjectures regarding the application of
the laws. If we feel that the law is
being violated we are going into court,
and when We get into court we will have
something to SHOW"

MISSISSIPPI PROJECT UNWIsE.
Engineers Discourage Plan as Too
Expensive.

The proposed fourteen-foot deep-water-
way project from ST. Louis to the gulf re-
ceived a blow today. when the board Of
engineers reported to Congress that such
a waterway is not desirable.
The waterway would have cost <12s Co.,
600 for construction and 5000 900 annual
ly for maintenance. the engineers say.
The report was based on a survey Of
the Mississippi river by special board
Of engineers created by act of Congress.
The conclusions reached by both the spe-
cial board and the regular board Of en-
gineers are practically the same.
The report OF the regular board that
IL is not desirable to construct a naviga-
BILE channel fourteen feet deep from st.
Louis or from Chicago to the mouth Of
the Mississippi was based on the con-
clusion Of the special board that only
commerce originating from sources that
do not at present ship by river would
justify the great cost OF a 14-foot water
way.

CHAUCHARO OBSEQU|ES KISSED
HALF MILLION VIEW SPLENDID
SPECTACLE.
Troops Force Way Through Crowds
Testers Arrested by the
Police.

PARIS. June lo.-Not for several
years has Paris witnessed spectacle
of such pomp and magnificence as was
seen today at the funeral of H. A. Chau-
chard, proprietor of the Magasins du
Louvre, from the Church Of the Made
leine.
The church was besieged. 1t is est-
mated that considerably more than half
a million people crowded the streets
along which the funeral procession was
to take it's way.
While the good taste OF NJ. Chau-
preston she gorgeous Louis XIV
cavalcade to- he deceased had plan
ned. the obseau1as were carried out on a
truly royal scale.
Starting from his residence in the
Rue Velasquez, where the body has been
lying in state. the imposing procession,
escorted by a squadron of cuirassiers
and several battalions of infantry, lit
orally forced its way through the streets
to the Madeleine. The hearse, drawn
by six black horses caparisoned in the
trappings Of mourning. was preceded by
three funeral cars banked high with
rarest flowers. and 5000 employees Of
the Louvre store.
The group of mourners behind the
hearse consisted chiefly Of beneficiaries
under the will of NJ. Chauchard and his
servants. One carriage with close drawn
blinds was occupied by Nine. Boursin,
who had been a close friend of NJ. Chau-
chard for something like thirty years.
The crowds enjoyed the funeral rather
as spectacle than as tribute. Here
and there Kisses we're heard from the
roueher classes who had been melted by
the socialist newspapers.
These journals have been contrasting
M. Chauchard's limited legacies to chari-
ties with those of Nine Boucicault, the
widow of the proprietor of the Bon
Marche stores. who, a dozen years ago,
left her entire fortune of $3OOU,OOO to
the store employees and religious and
charitable institutions.
The services at the Madeleine were i'm
posing. Some OF the most celebrated
voices In France sang in the choruses.
When the procession. after leaving the
church. reached the working districts
near the Place de la Bastile and the Place
de la Republiaue, many persons INDUCED
in coarse jests. Some of the demonstra- /
tors were so hostile that the police were
compelled to make several arrests.

sought out by strangers.
Whether to friend or casual visitor
he was uniformly courteous, and 1T is
pleasantly remembered by those who
knew him here that he never failed to
receive nor to treat with courtesy those
who sought him out. On account of
his advanced age he had in recent years
become so feeble that he was unable
to rise to greet visitors, and this fact
seemed always to be a source of humilia-

himself for what he seemed to regard as
