THE STORY OF A LEPER
NIHO ESCAPED FROM MOLOKAI

Portland Oregonian: In a visit to
the leper colony on the island of Mo-
lokai, recently, DR.. d. A. Paine, OF
Eugene, expressed a desire to see a
victim of the dread malady whom he
helped to spirit away from Mckenzie
Valley, 20 years before. The request
was denied, but he was allowed to
meet the leper wife Of the former
Oregonian. She informed him that
her husband was totally blind and in
the last stages of the disease.
The Molokai patient is John H.
Babcock, who, rs years ago, escaped
from the Hawaiian leper colony as
stowaway in a sailing vessel, landed
at Astoria and after years of exile
acquired title to 80 acres on the banks
of the Columbia. Later Bacock, still
not showing outward evidence of
leprosy, chose a homestead adjoining
those of George T. Hall and George
Frissell at Mckenzie Bridge, and es-
tablished a store there. Neighbors
bought freely of his wares. Those
who remember this homesteader and
trader. speak of him as a man of let
ters, clever, polished and of unusual
ly charming personality. He fire.
quently came to Eugene, where he
was known as an all-round good fell
low.
Soon Babcock showed leprosy symp-
toms, neighbors became frightened,
complaint was made to the county
court and Judge Scott ordered rigid
inquiry.
Leper's House Destroyed.
The examination disclosed unmis-
takably that Babcock was indeed a
leper. Then it was that the long
gathering storm broke over the neigh
borhood. Quaking with fear, the den
liens gathered together, and discuss
ed with bated breath the probability
that everybody in that section had
contracted the deadly germ. Nor could
their fears be allayed with any sort of
argument. Many took to the hills,
and remained away from the vicinity
until assured that the leper had been
conveyed to Eugene. Then they
swooped down upon the worldly goods
of the absentee, and ruthlessly de-
stroyed them, until not vestige of
his effects remained. Babcock's cabin,
together with it's contents, was burned
while the few denizens of the barn
yard suffered like fate.

LAW PASSED To PROTECT
AMERICAN DEFENSES FROM THE !
ACTIVITY OF FOREIGN SPIES

In the last session of Congress an
act was passed providing punishment
for spies caught attempting to secure
information regarding American forts
and defenses. During a committee
hearing on the bill, many incidents
were related to show the need of such
a law.
Bills Effect.
The effect of this bill is to protect
the Nation against spying in time of
peace.
The necessity for such protection
has increased with the growing i'm
pOrtance 'of national preparation for
war in time of peace.
The issues of most modern wars
have been settled quickly by reason
of the preparation Of the belliger-
ents, notably the Russo-Japanese war.
the Franco-German war, the Austrian
Prussian war In this contest OF
preparations, the question of knowl-
edge on the part of the enemy is of
vital Importance, particularly in the
case of the location of forts, of bat
teries, of mines and torpedoes. Such
knowledge may indeed actually set
tie the contest.
To prevent the acquisition Of this
information, nearly all of the nations
of the world with any developed sys.
tenn of national defense, except the
United States, have had upon their
statute books stringent laws under
which they can restrain and to de-
gree prevent spying by inflicting pun
ishment upon persons found guilty.
America alone had no such law and
our national defense secrets as con-
sequence have no protection against
spies. Again and again such spies
have been caught obtaining danger

lenses and nothing could be done.

unfortunate man, came all the way
from Honolulu to take him back to
the islands. Together with Dr. Paine,
he took the leper into custody. When
they arrived in Eugene, the convey
ance, belonging to a local liveryman,
was burned, so great was the public
fear.
The problem or conveying the vic
tim to Portland was no easy one to
solve. Requisition was sent into
Southern Pacific headquarters at Port
land for boxcar to haul Babcock to
that city, but the officials of the road
absolutely refused the request. Right
here comes an interesting phase of
the story of how the afflicted one
was spirited away to the metropolis.
The physician swathed the face of
the patient in bandages, and when a
night train rumbled into the yards,

JAPANESE IN HAWAII.

Nashville Banner: The last CEN
sus shows that there are only $685.
Japanese in this country, but a
greater number are residents of the
Hawaiian Islands. Mr.. Tsutsuda. n
Japanese resident of Honolulu, in an
article published in a Toxic maya
zine. says that out of a total popu-
lation of 1911. 800 in Hawaii. 99,663
are Japanese, 1859 are Chinese,
26.O99 are natives, leaving only
H4,44S not of the races mentioned. or
this remainder many are Portuguese.
This Japanese writer says the eXclu-
sion agreement between the United
States and Japan has proved a blow
to the Japanese in Hawaii, especially
those engaged in business dependent
upon Japanese patronage, but that
the agreement will not be wholly
without good results, from his point
of view, as, while the immigration Of
laborers is prohibited, the agreement
admits women from Japan who are
the wives of those already residing in
Honolulu. He says the nativeborn
children of Japanese should be more
desirable to Americans than the adj
mission of those 'frrevocably welded
to the traditions of the Mikado's en-
pre-" yet he admits that the Japa
nese residents of Hawaii are sedu-

their children a love for the parent

AN oIL.coNcRETE ROAD.

The first stretch of oil-concrete
highway to be laid in Pennsylvania
has just recently been completed on
the Observation-Disclosures road. 1t
is about a quarter of a mile in length
and is between Progress and Pax
tonia. The oil-concrete road is an ex-
pertinent on the part of the state
highway department, which in 1907
rebuilt the highway from the eastern
terminus of the city to PaXtonia. The
section just laid replaces a quarter Ot
mile of road constructed of concrete.
The new section of road is made Of
concrete into which are mixed as
phaltic oils. The top surface is not
arched so much as the rest of the
road, the crown being constructed on
a basis of three-eighths of an inch to
a foot. The crown is the same as
that used in laying brick pavement.

SAYS JAPAN

MEXICO TREATY
dispatch to the Christian Science

dispatch to the Christian Science
Monitor)
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Assur-
ances that Japan would withdraw at
once from Mexico was given to Presi-
dent Taft by Ambassador Uchida, it
was learned today, at the conference
at the White House on Wednesday.
Quick confirmation comes from
Mexico City in the announcement
that. as a result of the martial dis
play in Texas. the secret Japanese
Mexican treaty had been abrogated
Baron Uchida told Mr.. Taft that he
could rest assured that hereafter
Japan will take no part whatever in
Mexican affairs.
Tt is pointed out that it was nat
ural in the course OF diplomacy for
this country to declare its friendli-
ness for Japan and for Japan in re-
turn to do the same. in view of the
fact that recent developments were
satisfactory to the United States
1t is learned that the Japanese
Mexican treaty was framed in April
of last year, when a special agent of
Japan went to Mexico City and closed
the negotiations. Since that time the
United States has been watching
every development with the utmost
care, and observed the growing ac-
tivity of Japan in Mexico.

land. There are 6,4OO Japanese chill

these children also spend two or
three hours daily in Japanese

1t would need no argument to show
that the policy of exclusion of further
Japanese immigration to Hawaii is
necessary.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-04-07

This continued until the Japanese
practically controlled the isthmus Of
Tehuantepec and the ports on the
west coast of Mexico, below Guaya-
mas. This was accentuated and cor
roborated when ten days ago the Pa
cific Mail Steamship Company, un-
derstanding the futility of combating
with the Japanese on the west coast
of Mexico, announced its withdrawal
from Salina Cruz, the Pacific ter
minus of the Tehuantepec National
railroad.
The secret treaty related chiefly to
trade relations and opened the doors
of Japan to Mexico. It was of such a
nature, however, according to reports
here that it could have been used as
the basis for a much stronger alli-
ance. Gh's development was what
was chiefly feared by the United
States. and is said to have led to the
decision by this government to act
forcGfully.
The movement of the troops to the
border served a two-fold purpose. It
gave notice to the advisers of Presi-
dent Diaz and to President Diaz him
self that this country would not al

the 10000 men now on the border could
march almost without opposition
through Mexico to the capital and
occupy it.
