| John EARLY ESCAPES
| FROM LEPER COLONY
Officials of United States Public
Health Service Are Much Ex-
ercised Over Flight.

Officials of the United States public
health service were exercised today over
the escape reported last night Of John
r. Early, the leper whose case has at
tracted public attention for several years.
from the Diamond Head quarantine sta
ton near Port Townsend. Washington.
Reports to Surgeon Gen. Blue gave de-
tails Of Earlys escape, stating that he
left the quarantine some time last Fri
day. other lepers in the colony aiding
him in his plans and concealing his de-
parture from attendants for many hours.
Early was traced to Victoria, B. c..
but, according to late reports to
Washington, has left there and is be-
lieved to be on his way to this city,
where he once was confined.
"The escape of Early" said Surgeon
General Blue, "again demonstrates the
necessity for a national leprosarium.
where patients can be properly cared
for and safely guarded"
Story Of Early's Case.
Early's case attracted more attention
than probably any other handled by
the District health authorities. He was
found to be suffering with what repre-
sentatives Of the District health de-
partment thought was leprosy. and I'M
mediately removed to isolated quar-
ters located on the Eastern branch.
There he was incarcerated during a
period extending from August 81, 1908
to July 3, 1909. Interest in his case
had reached such point by this time
that consent was given by the Dis
trict officials for his removal to New
York for special treatment. For several
weeks there was waged a controversy
as to the exact nature of Early's all
ment, which eliminated in his being
released. He returned to Washington
December /, 1909. and was again taken
in custody by the health department.
Nine days later he was given his re-
lease after arrangements had been made
for his departure from the District
in a box-car so that there would be
no danger of his coming in contact
with any persons

Would Mean Massacre.

81 do believe that II a hostile army ap-
peared at the gates of the capital and
Huerta was about to fall there would be
a massacre.
''Huerta Is obsessed with the idea that
he is the hope Of his country. and in a
way he Is.
II do not for minute consider Villa
as the man to rule in Mexico.
ST do not consider Carranza the man
to rule He is conservative and admirable
in many ways. but he lacks force and ag-
sressiveness. He does not stand out
enough.
There Is serious talk Of compromise
candidates. and a number of very de-
sirable men have been mentioned for
the Office.
There is no trouble at Vera Cruz.
The city Is well organized and the
troops and marines and bluejackets are
behaving admirably. There can be no
criticism Of the way the city Is being
administered"
1t was suggested to Mr. Kerr that he
had eliminated practically every ave-
nue. of solution save by direct assump-
tton of power by the United States.
Remember 1 have not said that" ad-
monished Mr.. Kerr, but tomorrow in

MJECTS NEW FEATURE
IN SUNDAY LAW ISSUE
Manager Rapley Announces Produc.
tions at His Theater for
That Day.

With the District Commissioners
awaiting a court decision as to their
power to regulate Sunday entertain
ments in Washington. q new feature
was brought into the situation today in
the announcement by W. H. Rapley.
manager Of the National Theater. that,
beginning Sunday evening, Sunday pro-
ductions will be staged at this play
house.
The announcement was followed with q
statement by the Commissioners that
unless thene is a court decision in the
meantime holding invalid the existing
police regulation governing entertain
ments given on the Sabbath, or a re-
straining order preventing them from
taking action in the matter. they will en-
force to the letter the regulation which
forbids the giving Of Sunday entertain
ments in costume.
It now appears that the entire question
OF the commissioners right to regulate
matters Of this character will be put up
to the court. The question Of the extent

His Advice Not Wanted.

This universal criticism he says.
forces me to the conclusion that there is
something wrong with the position Of the
government, and came to Washington
to tell what 1 had heard in these inter
views and to suggest to the administra-
ton the principal points of criticism. I
was told by Secretary Tumulty that the
administration is fully informed on all
facts that bear on Mexico and needs no
suggestions from me. I did not come to
get thanks for giving four weeks Of my
time without expectation OF recompense
at Vera Cruz, but am disappointed that
there was no word Of appreciation"
Though Mr.. Kerr would not state what
his opinion Of the one solution for Mex
leo is, he said this much by way of
elimination:
IF there is criticism of the govern
ment for not recognizing Huerta the cor
Rotary of that would be criticism for
apparent cooperation with Villa and
Carranza-
II do not believe that Huerta will ever
willingly abdicate. I do not look to see
him flee from the Mexican capital. I
believe he Is good for months yet.

Advice of Former Governor of

WHEN HE REACHES HOME
Policy of United States in Mexico
Universally Criticised,
He Declares.

Robert j. Kerr, for a few days gov
ernor of Vera Cruz under the civil ad-
ministration set up by Rear Admiral
Fletcher, until his administration was
dismissed by orders from Secretary
Garrison. is leaving Washington this
evening at o'clock for his home in
Chicago. tncensed because President
Wilson had not found time to hear his
version of affairs in Mexico and be-
cause he had been told by Secretary
Tumulty that the administration was
fully informed on conditions below the
border and did not require his advice.
Mr.. Kerr says that when he gets to
Chicago he will feel that he can express
his opinions freely as a citizen Of the
United States, and that he proposes to
do so and will state the one way In
| which affairs in Mexico can be ADJUSTED
to the honor of the United States and
Justice to Mexico, and that they must
eventually be settled in this way-what
that way Is he refuses to state unless by
process of elimination.
United States Criticised.
Mr.. Kerr said, however. that he feels
he can properly report facts as he learned
them from long experience in all sections
Of the country. from the opinion express
ed to him by the better class Of Mexi-
cans, from $1,000 American refugees and
from 10000 refugees Of other nationah-
ties. He says that all Of these to a man
bitterly criticise the action of the ad-
ministration in Mexico affairs
Pressed to specify what they criticised.
Mr.. Kerr said: Evident partisanship,
lack of understanding of the elementary
situation and lack Of a definite workable
plan of solution
He said that his position in Vera Cruz
was not in any sense political; that he is
not a sorehead because of his summary
dismissal from office: that he Is not con-
cerned whether the democratic admins
tration is success or failure. but that
he Is affected because the government OF
the United States is SO unanimously
found fault with. and because the ad.
ninistration seems averse to getting all
possible information and advice.
He said this criticism is not only from
the class who are Independent to CEN
sure, but that he had seen men who by
reason Of their oaths Of allegiance are
not permitted to criticise-I mean the
army and navy-show in no undoubtful
manner a lack of sympathy with the
government" to put 1t as mildly as pos
sible.
