Herman Hirschfeldt. Bay City alder
man, doesn't have leprosy. He has all
the time commended that he is not thus
afflicted. Secretary Sumner. of the
Iowa board Of health has about con-
cluded that maybe the diagnosis is not
quite right. He has consulted a new
authority on the subject and has had
his faith shaken.
1.-THE best description have yet
ticus," said DR.. Sumner yesterday. He
found it in a book loaned to him by
State Auditor Bleakly.
"This description is the Oldest on
record and so far as I can discover is
the best. No writer of modern medical
books has given anything like as ac-
curate and complete description OF
this world old ailment as this found In
Leviticus. After reading it l am dis
posed to doubt whether the man at
Centerville has the real thing"
Secretary Sumner has given up get
ting any fair arrangement out OF the
Bay City officials and resort will be
had to the federal courts to establish
the rights of the state Of Iowa. The
Bay City people have shown that they
will not deal honorably with the case.

the brick ard tile interests, and the
city's street and sewer works. The
city authorities and all others are con-
gratula ting themselves upon the fact
that there were no saloons In which
these foreigners could assemble and
under the stimulation of drink incite
to further trouble. AS it was there
have been some bad clashes blu the
local police were able to handle the
situation.
The strike is largely confined to for
eisners. and the requests made upon
the brick and tile operators were by
representatives of the Greeks. Bull
garians. Servians. Montenegrans and
Russians. There are few Americans
out but not many. The authorities
haxe made a score or more arrests.
