Rear Admiral Joseph B. Murdock,
recently relieved from command OF
the U. s. Aslatic. fleet, is a returning
passenger on the Chiyo Maru. He
called on Admiral Cowles at the naval

Admiral Murdock, who retires early
next year. is going home to await
orders. It is improbable that he will
have any more sea duty, and the Ad.
n.iral is looking forward to enjoying
the pleasures Of dry land from now
on. He has been in command of the
ksiatic fleet for about a year and a
half, and has made splendid record

ing that time. ,>sas,
1Plenty of :het weather and hard
work. said Admiral Murdock this
morning. There is no news Of gen

when the China situation was acute,
but now everything is quiet"
The admiral is accompanied home
by Lieutenant David w. Bagley, his
flag lieutenant, who is also home
ward bound to await new duty.
The departure of Admiral Murdoch
leaves Rear Admiral Nicholson as

WASHINGTON. d. c., Aug. FL,
Tenney Peck is hopefully fighting to
secure legislation at this session of
Congress permitting the Pearl Harbor
Traction Company to have right-of-
way across the Fort Shafter military
reservation. He has been here more
than month earnestly laboring with
members of the House to take up a
pending bill and pass it. Mr.. Peck is
o hard worker when he shucks his
coat and the non-passage of the bill
is not due to his idleness. It Just
seems the House never viii get inter-
ested concerning this little, right OF
way. z
; In order to have two chances In.
stead of one, Mr.. Peck had bill of
fered in the Senate by Mr.. Jones, Of
Washington. 1t is similar to the
measure so long pending in the House
and gives the Traction Company the
right to use a strip of land forty feet
wide across the reservation.
The bill vas referred to the Com;
mittee on Military Affairs. It is be,
lieyed by Mr.. Peck that possibly. the
Senate may be persuaded to take the
matter up and pass this bill, thereby
sending II to the House In time for
action before final adjournment.

Federal control of leprosy in Ha-
Waii and on the mainland, as in the

lishment of leper hospitals in various
sections of the country, will be rec
commended by Surgeon General Blue
OF the Public Health and Marine Hos
pital Service, according to ,advices
from Washington received, by the
Star-B Bulletin this morning.
1t is understood that DR.. Blue plans
to base his Recommendations partial
ly on data secured while he was sta
toned at Honolulu and that the ap-
+pearance of Ieprosy in several cities
on the mainland will also weigh in
his argument. .,t.s.=.-- Z. -.
The recent discovery of two cases,

report from officials of the skin and
cancer hospital In New York City to
the effect that there are forty cases

is said, the attention OF the surgeon
general on the matter at this time.
The problem Of what to do with the
lepers on the mainland has become
q serious one particularly as they are
not residents of the States or munici-
palities in which they are found and
consequently the authorities are not
willing to care for them.
As far as DR.. Blues proposed rec
ommendation concerns Hawaii, the
local health officials have heard moth.

subject and declined to discuss the
feasibility Of Federal control at this

At the local office of the Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service
it was said that. nothing had been
heard from Washington in regard to
DR.. Blues proposed recommendation
but it was pointed out that as Dr..

probably was in thorough touch with
conditions. -

the rumor came from, but it Is not

Naturally, with such an exhaustive
experiment as was planned, 1t took
good deal of time to install the ex.

rather late in the season when a start
was made. Therefore, there was moi
quite time enough to work out all the

Enough has been proved, however.
