From Salufuhy 3 AQNeitlbeI.l
Modern medical science is on the eve
of the most important research into a
method for the treatment Of leprosy, de.
clares DR.. Donald II. Currie, who is in
charge of the Federal Leprosarium on
Molokai and the Kalih Experiment Sta.
ton, who returned from Kalaupapa and
Kalawao yesterday morning. The visit
in Honolulu last week of Moses T.
Clegg, discoverer of the method of pro.
pagating the bacillus of leprosy, dis.
covery which connects closely with
Hansman IS discovery Of thirty years
ago of the leprosy bacillus, has inereas'
ed interest in his discovery and Doctor
Currie asserts that with all laboratories
the world over experimenting with the
leprosy bacillus, segregated in culture
tubes, that the world may be astonished
some morning to hear that leprosy can
be cured by medical science.
The cultivation of the leprosy bacillus
in culture tubes, is marked advance
in the investigation of leprosy, and from
this cultivation vaccine may be made
and on its use with a leprosy patient
may come successful treatment.
Such cultures are being experimental
with at both the federal leprosy stations
and possibly the vaccine may be used
on the Hawaiian lepers who have given
themselves freely into the hands of the
federal physicians to be experimental
upon.
Money Has Run Ont.
The federal leprosarium at Kalawat
has practically been closed since July l
owing to the fact that the annual ap
preparation of $45,00O has been Gu
, down to 100000. Doctor Currie return

left the leprosarium in charge of thre
) attendants. The eleven male adult lei
} ers who have been in the leprosariur
l since February undergoing whateve
: treatment the federal doctor prescribed
have returned to their homes.
The cutting down of the appropria
ton will permit mainly of experiments

statutory grounds.
Habitual intemperance and extreme
cruelty were the grounds alleged in the

was granted decree of divorce from
Kahalewila Kekahuna. The custody of
the minor child was awarded to the
mother.
Evaline Pang Kow was legally separ-
ated from her husband Pang Kow, be

EVEN MAINE "INSURGES'

Are the heavens going to fall? Is Haeys comet really
going to take smash at the earth? 1t looks like it, for
Maine, ribbed hide bound machine ruled Maine, for
many considered the private property of Senator
Eugene Hale preparing to get into the nsurgent band
wagon and to retire the senator who has been in the Amer
lean house of lords for thirty years
The insurgency of Maine consists of three distinct kinds
bitter antipathy to the machine with which Hale has
ruled the state for long hatred of Hale personally be-
of his aoof attitude towards the people, and dssat
isfacton with his in the tariff fight in which he is
accused of neglecng other Maine industries in order to
protect the paper mills in which he is interested.
All these things have bred crop of troubles for him
and he at last has real opposition in the shape of Judge
Fred Powers, former attorney general and ex-member
of the states highest court.
Powers has the backing Of powerful opposition party,
and wonder of wonders, the state government!
On the other hand, Hale has his wonderful machine, all
the federal office holders and the commissioners
of bankruptcy appointed by his brother who is United
States circuit Judge
The most insurgent counties in the state are the real

have talked with some of the
members of the Spokane branch of
the Archaeological Institute of
America, and they are greatly in
terested In the museum, as being
entirely in consonance with their
subject. Professor Carrill, in his
recent lecture at the South Central
high school, commended the plan,
as he did in private conversation
with me.
My first thought of a city collec-
ton and exhibit was engendered by
a talk with my friend, Major
| Gwydir, who has some very valu-
| able and interesting souvenirs of
pioneer days. Such articles would
be of great interest to us, and more
particularly to the visitor and new
conner to our city, and as the years
pass the collection would become
increasingly more valuable and in
structive.
Our worthy mayor has assured
me Of his interest in and approval
| of this idea and it would seem fit
ting that he should be the ex-officlO
head of the museum board.
1t will be appreciated If persons
interested in this idea or having
articles to loan will communicate
with me. John Fassett Edwards,

SUGGESTION FOR
MUNICIPAL MUSEUM

Editor The Press-Spokane and
the surrounding country has now
passed from the old savage days of
blanketed Indians and hardy pio-
neers to the most advanced civiliza-
ton. In such transition there is
much of extreme interest and edu-
cational worth that is being lost for
the want of intelligent collection
and preservation.
With this idea as a preamble, it
has long been in my mind to sug-
gest the establishment in this city
of a municipal museum for the safe
guarding and free exhibition of the
many Indian curios and other an
thropological and archaeological OBJ
jects now in private hands here. We
certainly cannot afford to sit by
supinely and permit the loss beyond
recall of these invaluable relics of
days past; and without delay steps
should be taken to establish perm
anent exhibit. With generous DON
alton and the loaning of the many
articles in our city very interest
ing and instructive exhibit could be
secured at the very outset, judging
by what I personally have seen.
I have made inquiries as to the
possibility of establishing such an
exhibit in the city library, and find
that it would be welcomed by the
enterprising librarian, Miss STAINS.
bury, who is in hearty sympathy
with the plan. The library is ex-
cellently located, is visited by many
transients in our city, and would be
in harmony with the educational
spirit of this proposition.
There are scores of people here
who would very willingly loan their
curios to the exhibit, subject Ito
their orders at any time, and for
which loans and donations full
credit would be given on the
articles shown.
necessarily would be considered at
the outset. And very fortunately it
is slight. The only cost would be
the exhibit cases. I think that the
chamber of commerce and 10000
club could and should be interested
in this matter to the extent of fur
thering it and perhaps contributing
in some small extent to the pur-
chase of the cases.
The whole matter is one of ex-
