NEW YORK ONLY
PLACE FOR LEPERS
St. Louis Fugitive Better
Not Come Here.

We've given that leper a through
ticket said Health Officer Woodward
yesterday afternoon. in answer to an in
quiry as to whether he had heard any,
thing Of the leper who escaped from
quarantine at st. Louis. IT don't think
he will come to Washington" continued
DR.. Woodward. IF he does, we'll have
to treat him like we've done those of his
class who have already visited the city.
IF he reads Washington newspapers,
he will undoubtedly take my advice as
given to the press, and steer for New
York. That's the place for the leper.
No laws to harass him. no health Off
Gals to torment him. Up there he can
engage in almost any business he chooses
from that of chef to dentist
But let him come here, and the first
thing he knows he will find himself in
the little two-story brick quarantine
house on the bank of the Eastern Branch,
behind the Jail. And then, the first
chance We got we'd put him in a box
car and ship him away. That was the
way of Early, and that will be the way
of the next leper who seeks Washington
as a place of residence

FARMER" WILSON
FOR GOOD ROADS
Forty-fOur Millions Spent in
Year in South Alone.

The expenditure OF nearly $4,000, 900
was made during the present year in road
improvements in the Southern States
alone" said Secretary Wilson yesterday
in discussing the work the Agricultural
Department is doing for the construction
and Improvement Of roads in the country.
The Secretary is billed, for a speech at
the Good Roads Congress to be held in
Richmond next week.
Through its Office of public roads"
continued the Secretary. 1.-THE department
has men throughout the country stimu-
lating the nationwide movement for
good roads through demonstration work
Of experienced engineers and illustrated
lectures by q force OF men trained for
the purpose. And this vast amount Of
money, spent in less than ten months
for road improvement in the States men
toned indicates the great interest in the
subject. Reports to the department show
that this enormous sum was spent by
States as follows: Alabama, 50, 4o4, 900;
Arkansas, S2,45O,OO0; Delaware, $4,000;
Florida, 81, sos, 900; Georgia. $500, 900; Ken
lucky, S2,5OO.OOO: Louisiana, a,132,S 54;
Maryland, s, 80, 600; Mississippi, $4,000;
North Carolina, "a, sos, 900; Oklahoma, 81
5O5. 900; South Carolina, $4,000; Ten
nessee, 49, 900; Texas, S.6ooOOO: Vir-
ginia, $4,0O4,OoO, and West Virginia, 81
625, OJC.
Good roads will particularly prove
beneficial to the farmer-of the South,
where, apart from the staple crops, the
soils will produce almost every known
crop, and especially late winter and early
spring varieties, when transportation
from farm to railroad is rendered diff
cult. owing to the cut-up and rough con-
diticn of unimproved roads"

CONTRACTOR HELD
ON GIRLS CHARGE
Martin FL. Bray Claims He
Will Be Acquitted.

Charged with a serious offense on accu-
sations made against him$y a sixteen
year-old girl, Martin H. Bray, a con-
tractor and builder, of 1903 Fourteenth
street northwest, was arrested by De-
tectives Evans and O'Dea yesterday aft
ernoon. The warrant for his arrest was
given to the police by the District at
torney's Office shortly after neon. Bray's
arrest came about through complaint
filed by the girls mother, the police say.
Bray was arrested at his home, and
accompanied the detectives to police
headquarters. A short time afterward
he was released on s., 900 real estate bond
for his appearance in court.
According to the police, Bray has
known the young girl for some months.
1t is alleged that she has taken several
automobile rides with the contractor.
Bray denies that he has been guilty of
any wrongdoing, and maintains he will
be freed when the case is heard in
court.
The girl is small for her age and pretty.
1t is not long since the young girl stopped
attending school The girl appears
younger than her years, and, according
to the police, has spent most of her time
under the surveillance Of her mother.

SURPLUS HUBBY
is TURNED DOWN
Bride Married, Spouse in the
Pen, Reason Given.

Saying his mother-in-law objected to
the marriage, Walter Edward Tyree yes
terday afternoon returned the marriage
license of John W. Weast, twenty-five
years old, painter, of this city, and
Fannie NJ. Dunning, twenty-three years
old, of Capitol Heights. Md. Tyree said
he was a brother-in-law of the pros
pective BRIDE" and that his mother-in-
law, Mrs. Annie Dunning, did not want
her daughter to marry Weast, for the
already married, and that her husband,
whose name is William H. Gray, is
serving a sentence in Leavenworth peni-
Tertiary. Gray was formerly in the
navy.
Tyree said Weast did not know the
prospective bride" was a married wom-
an when he applied for a marriage Ii
cense, and she had no idea that Weast
would apply for the paper. When Weast
obtained the license he swore that the
woman of his choice was single. When
asked why his sister-in-law did not use
her husbands name, Tyree said she re-
sumed her maiden name when her hus-
band was sent to the penitentiary.
Samuel L. Dunning, the father of the
woman, vouchsafed no information as to
the matter. The license gave Rev. w.
Z. Clark as officiating clergyman. Ty-
rec was told by the clerk OF the court
that Weast would have to appear per-
sonally at the city hall and ask for can
collation. of the license.

''RICH SCIENTIST"
HELD AS INSANE
Samuel B. McHenry Possessed
of Two DelusiOns.

Possessed by two decisions, one that
he had invented a wonderful aeroplane
and the other that he knows how 10
populate the regions around the earth's
polar extremities. Samuel B. McHenry,
fifty-ive years old, who declares ne is
a rich scientist of Chicago, Ill, arrived
in Washington several days ago and was
arrested yesterday on complaint of
prominent local patent attorneys.
McHenry. who vas taken into custody
by Detectives ODea and Evans while
walking in Fourteenth street, near F
street northwest, shortly after o'clock,
is locked up at the Washington Asylum
Hospital on a charge of insanity. Tho
mans brother. Abram McHenry, who
lives at Benton, Pa, has been notified
of his plight and Is expected to come
to this city to-day.
McHenry's scheme to create animal life
in the vicinitIes OF the north and south
poles is a novel one. He would gradu-
ally drive hundreds Of animals north and
south, pushing the herds a little further
nearer the poles each year. McHenry
visited numerous patent attorneys offices
in the last two days.
