VETERAN Is LEPER.
Physicians Pronounce John II. Early
as Afflicted With Disease.

Port Townsend, Wash.-John X.
Early the Spanish war veteran, who
was given employment at the Dia-
mond Point quarantine station, after
the citizens of Pierce county objected
to his residing on his ranch there
because he was a leper suspect, is
really a leper, in the opinion of a
board of medical examiners appoint
ed by Governor Marion K. Hay to
determine the question.
The board, which was headed by
Surgeon Carl Ramus, in charge OF
the United States Marine and Public
Health Service for Puget Sound, was
composed of 10 of the leading physi-
clans and surgeons in western Wash
ington. They visited Early and con-
Quoted a thorough examination.
Pieces of the skin were removed and
blood was drawn, which will be sub
iected to a laboratory test. The
board was of unanimous opinion that
Early is a leper, but the laboratory
test will be made to confirm the d.
agnosis.

In spite of the above correspond
ence, however, MIR Fowler still in
sists that he is representing the
company and that their reply to thu
telegram and letter is but the natur
al one as protection to their repre-
sentative. During the course of
conversation with the Tidings repre-
sentative he made the remark, how
ever, IF you found man asleep
you would wake him up before yo,
talked to him, wouldn't you?" re
mark the significance of which tn
, future may reveal. Mr.. Fowle
stated last night that he would hav
more definite information this morn

That Ashland has been unduly eX-
cited over the prospects of a large
electrical concern entering the field
here seems to be indicated by the
exchange of letters and kilograms,
full text of which is printed below.
Mr.. Fowler blew into town about ten
DAYS ago and announced that he
would establish in this city repair
station for the electrical apparatus
of his company on the coast. His
story, as told in the Tidings of last
Monday, seemed plausible and the
city was thrown into fit of excite
ment such as it has not felt for some
time.
Mr.. Fowler began operations by
asking a local real estate firm for
location on a ten-aGre tract on the
Southern Pacific right of way, which
the firm did, and two sites were
looked into. Then one of the local
banks wired to the company in Pitts
burg and received a denial of the
representation, which wire was fol-
lowed by a letter further emphasize
ing the fact that the company has no
representative in this field. The full
text of this correspondence is given
here, including the letter to the local
real estate firm:
Ashland, Ore, May 23, 1912.
-- -, Ashland, Ore:
am looking for a tract of land
adjoining the Southern Pacific of not
more or less than 10 acres. If you
know of some, see

BUGS ARE HEARTLESS
Baseball Fans are Tickle and
Have No Mercy.
Veteran Umpire and Sporting Pro-
motor, Timothy Hurst, Tells of
Troubles Awaiting Former
Umpire Hank O'Day.

Baseball fans are tickle, but that
isn't ALL" said Timothy Hurst, veteran
umpire, referee and sporting promoter,
as he took part In tanning bee the
other day. '"They have no mercy. The
bugs out in Cincinnati who used to
ridioule and abuse Umpire O'Day are
now praising Manager O'Day without
limit. But If the Reds do not keep
up with the leaders, just see If these
same rooters don't make Hanks life
miserable. That's the way it has been
going on for years in the big and little
cities where baseball is played.
II speak from experience, by the
way, because after had run the CANT
let for several years as umpire, Chris
Won der Abe engaged me to manage
the st. Louis team. This was funny
stunt, because the year previous I had
been mobbed in the Mound City be-
cause did not give all the close ones
to the home team.
'But, as the manager, I was a king
until the season got under way. All
of the nice things said about me were
forgotten. and I couldn't pick up a
newspaper without burning my
fingers. If I had been the least bit
sensitive I would have been sent to
some retreat, but I made up my mind
to worry through it until my, contract
was up. Did I kick at the umpires?
Bless you, no! My team was so weak
that we couldn't. have won three
straight games If all the decisions had
been in our favor.
THE merciless attitude of the fans
has broken more than one mans heart.
I'll never forget the case of Tim
O'Keefe. He was one of the greatest
pitchers that ever curved a ball It
was his great work that helped the
Giants to win the worlds champion
ship in 1883 and 1885,
"Keefe was like Matty-a public
idol. If he had run for public office
he'd have been elected. Crowds fol-
lowed him home from the Polo
grounds, and wherever he played he
was hero. When Keefe could not
pitch any more he was induced by
President N. E. Young to umpire in
the National league He came to the
Polo grounds in this capacity and re-
ceived rousing welcome. In a grill
