Discussion on Floor of House
Shows That UnWelcome Pro-
ject May Be Pressed

That the plan to establish a ma
tional home for lepers at Moloka1 Is
already far advanced in Washington
is indicated by the discussion which
followed the introduction, on June 4
of the house bill published in the Star
Bulletin last week. The bill was in
troduced by Congressman Albert John
son of Washington.
The discussion, reported by the
Congressional Record. is as follows:
Mr.. Johnson of Washington--Mr.
Chairman, wish to occupy few mo-
ments of the time of the committee
on the question of the transportation
of lepers in interstate traffic, con-
corning which strict regulations exist.
A most distressing situation has
arisen with regard to an unfortunate
citizen of the United States, a vet
eran of the Spanish-American war,
the leper John Early, who first turned
up some four years ago in the city OF
Washington. He was most generous
ly cared for by the people here, am
told, but was finally persuaded to
leave the city of Washington to go
where he pleased on condition that
he would not return to this city. In
the course of time he arrived near
Tacoma, Wash, with a wife and sew
eral children.
MIR. Raker-ls there any evidence
that the authorities of the city OF
Washington knew that this man had
Ieprosy and then turned him loose
upon this country on condition that
he would not return to the city OF
Washington, but go elsewhere? g.
Mr.. Johnson of Washington--I can
not say as to all the steps taken at
that time by the authorities of the
District
Mr.. Raker-Such a condition of af.
fairs would be worse than turning
loose a band of murderers.
Mr.. Johnson of Washington-Let
me say, however, that dispute arose
as to the disease from which the man
suffered. Both the medical authori-
ties of the United States Public
Health Service and of the District OF
Columbia insisted that he had lepro.
sy. and their diagnosis has since been
confirmed beyond all question. How.
, ever, a doctor came here from New
York and insisted that Early did not
have leprosy; and while the eontro-

MIEHLSTEIN
IS ACCUSED
OF GRAFTIN
Building and Plumbing Inspec.
tor Charged With Taking a
"Rake-off" on Market Job
CONTRACTOR MAY TAKE THE
MATTER TO GRAND JURY
"Attack Is Unfair and Great
Surprise to Me-" Says Ac-
cused Plumbing Inspector I

Joseph j. MiehIstein, building and
plumbing inspector OF the city and
county, may be called before the board
OF supervisors at secret session TO
testify to the part he has played in the
improvement work being done at the
fish markets.
At caucus of the board of super
gisors yesterday morning, when Il
met to prepare the budget for the
coming semi-annual period, serious
charges were made against Miehl-
stein on information received by Su-
pervisor M. G. Pacheco The latter as
serted that he had been informed that
the building and plumbing Inspector
is receiving fee amounting to seven
and one-haif per cent of the cost of
the improvement work being done at
the fish markets as a supervising ar
chitect, and IN addition to this is re-
ceiving two and one-half per cent as a
commission from the materiaimen
Supervisor Pacheco Informed the
board that one Of the contractors on
the job has asserted he will bring the
matter before the territorial grand
jury, and ask that thorough investi-
cation be made into Miehlstein's con-
nection with this work. As building
and plumbing inspector the latter Is
required to pass on the improvements
when they are completed, and. says
Supervisor Pacheco, he Is supposed to
do SO irhpartially as a disinterested
public official
The board received the accusations
against Miehlstein with obvious sur
prise, and later different supervisors
intimated they would give Miehlstein
a chance to explain them away
Several thousand dollars have been
or are being spent at the fish market
for improvements. which were ordered
to be made jointly BY the territorial
board Of health and the board OF su2l
pervisors, Tile floor is being put In
in some places, and marble counters.
with metal drains The work has been
under way for several months and is
now almost completed.
Supervisor Pacheco stated that the
Information Of Miehlstein's alleged
"rake-off on this work came to his
ATTENTION first from a plumber, and
that later information received has
confirmed Il He turned over his in
formation to the board yesterday when
the question of doing away with an
assistant building and plumbing In
spector came up. No definite deci-
sion was reached on tais proposition,
but one or two Of the supervisors
stated that an assistant was no longer
necessary, as one man could handle all
the inspecting of building and plumb
ing going on at present.
This attack which seems to have
been made against me comes as a
surprise, and is one of the most un-
fair things that has come to my at
tention," said Mr.. Miehlstein this az.
