STATE HAS FOUR CASES OF
SUSPECTED LEPROSY
DR.. Warthin Says Michigan Must
Take Firm Action Against
the Disease

ANN ARBoR. Mich. May 24.-An
interesting feature OF the second
meeting OF the Michigan State Health
oficers association here yesterday,
was the discussion of the leprosp
situation In this state. by DIR. A. s,
Warthin. OF the university pathology
cal laboratory.
DIR Warthin emphasized the fact
that the danger OF the spread OF the
disease Is not imaginary by any
means, but that effective means for
seggregating the sufferers must be
taken II Michigan is to check the
epidemic which has sprung up In the
state At the present time there are
four known cases In Michigan, all OF
them imported from Norway or Fin
land. According 10 DR.. Warthin these
two countries have many cases OF
leprcsy, and most OF the cases which

States come from them. He cited
the case OF Yensen, the Calumet man
who is now isolated on farm In the
Upper Peninsula. as coming rom
Norway, and used II to illustrate MS
point that leprosy Is a family dis
eaEe. Yensen's mother, from whom
he has been separated for l5 years,
and who is still resident OF Nor
way. is also suffering from the dis
case.

did not mention them until after the
complaint by Mrs. Kroe was recently
disposed OF. Okraska was represented
before the commission by Attorney
Charles Bowles.
Okraska declared that Claxton was
the first inspector TO call. after the
second story OF his house had been
put up. The Inspector said the win
dows were not in conformity with the
building code.
Il gave him s. and he said every
thing was all right" said okraska.
He gave me his telephone number
and said that II anyone came around
to bother me | should have him call
up Claxton." f
Okraska Is a Pole and gave his tes'
timony through an interpreter. Al
torney Flowers asked how Okraska
could talk with Claxton II he could not
speak English, whereupon II was dem
onstrated that Okraska could talk and
understand sufficient English TO com
municate with Claxton.
Okraska stated that Heck visited
his house four times. Okraska said
he asked Heck why he should be
bothered again Heck. he alleged, or
dered him TO take on the front porch
and rebuild II according TO the code
but on receiving 81 said he was sat
isied.
Il told him I'd give him more later
on" said Okraska.
He also alleged that on one occa
sion when Heck called he was drunk
II developed on cross-examination that
after the interview in which Okrasks
said he paid Heck 81, the latter or
dered him down to the building com
missions Office. A complaint wa:
made by direction OF Chief Inspector
Dupont against Okraska In the record
er's court, but 1t was adjourned in
definitely.
Neither Heck nor Claxton was call
ed on to give testimony. although
they have personally denied receiving
the money.

Outside pressure will be very strong
on this convention to name candi-
date satisfactory to Big Business. The
defeat of Taft has made Big Business
more than ever anxious to control the
Democratic convention. Since II be-
came evident that Roosevelt would be
the Republican nominee reactionary
Democracy has received assurances
that money without limit would be
ready to support candidate satisfac-
tory to Wall-st.
Today Oscar Underwood Is the fav-
orite candidate Of these Big Business
interests. They like him better than
they do Clark, and II Is believed by
good politicians In Washington that
Clark has been put forward merely az
a stalking horse. The Clark delegates
have been won with the assistance OF
Underwood and Hearst and they VIII
be traded in for reactionary candl
date at the last moment after they
have served their first purpose-to de
feat the nomination OF Wilson early IN
the convention.
Opposed to these influences will be
William j. Bryan. He Is power
with which the convention must reck
on. A large element OF the plain peo
ple trust him. Bryan Is opposed to
and will do all he can 10 defeat the
nomination OF a reactionary candidate
Herein lies the possibility that Bryan
himself may be the only man able tc
break a long continued deadlock.
Such are the tendencies at work
What will be the outcome no human
/ intellect can determine. Never was q
convention entered upon with the re
suit more blind than will be the Balti
more convention.

STRONG MEN WANTED.

The election Tuesday proved con-
efusively that the people OF Sumter
are In favor Of giving a business sys-
tam Of municipal government a fair
trial. The law under which the elec-
ton was held provides the machinery
for putting the system into operation
and the success or failure Of the sys-
tenn now depends upon the three
councilmen who shall be selected by
the people at the election to be held
I'm August. II behooves the citize ms
Of Sumter. especially the taxpaying
eitiEens. the business men and those
who are giving time. thought and
means towards the development and
spbuilding Of the town along all
lines. to give careful consideration
to the choice OF the men who shall
be placed In charge Of the city's busi-
ness. We need the very best ability
Sumter affords and In making the
choice the voters should disregard
personal friendship and all other
feelings. The town needs the SER
vices OF three of the strongest.
