Compliments Arlington Wireless.

Capt Gowan, master of the Johnston
liner Swanmore, at Baltimore, pays a
high compliment to the perfect work
ing of the Arlington wireless station.
Capt. Gowan states that when 1,4OO
miles off the American coast he is able
to catch with great clearness the noon
time signal sent out from Arlington.
So clear does the signal come that
each tick of it can be heard distinctly
Beyond 1,400 miles the time from the
Eiffel tower at Paris is picked up, but
it is not clear and often leaves him in
doubt about the real time sent out.
This superiority of the American sta
ton, Capt. Gowan said, was not sim
ply at times, but was always so salts
factory that he rated his thermometers

BRITISH CRUISER OFF U. S.
Warship Lying OFF Virginia Capes
Is Cause of Speculation.

Incoming vessels report British
cruiser lying off the Virginia capes and
there is much speculation as to the
business of the ship there, now that
there are no German vessels known to
be on the seas. 1t is suggested that the
fighting ship is waiting to convoy some
ship laden with munitions or other sup
plies for the allies through the war
zone and into port.
Recently Capt. Almy. in the light
house service Steamer Orchid, spoke
the vessel just beyond the three-mile
limit. The warship lies without en-
gines working except when she drifts
in toward the three-mile limit. when
she starts up and runs back to a
proper distance off the coast.

FORGETS HIS AUNT'S ADDRESS.
Colored Boy, on Visit to Philadel-
phia, in Quandary.

Howard Hembrey, colored, ten years
old, 1909 U street northwest, was sent
to Philadelphia Saturday to visit his
Aunt Elizabeth. When he alighted
from a train in Broad street station he
was unable to recall his aunt's address
and a policeman to whom he appealed
was unable to assist him.
Acting Chief of Detectives Hartley
was communicated with. He learned
that Mrs. Estelle Hembrey, the boys
mother. had gone to the country for
two weeks and had neglected to tell
friends of the location of the place in
the country.
The Philadelphia authorities were so
advised, and Howard probably is be-
ing cared for by them until something
definite about his aunt's address is
learned.

A TRIBUTE TO ELIHU ROOT.
Suggested by the Topeka, Kan, At
tack on Him.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In your issue Of the 14th instant ap-
peared an article in which Mr.. Clarence
True Wilson, general secretary. Tenn
perance Society Of the Methodist
Church, attacks the eligibility of Elihu
Root for the republican presidential
nomination. because in 1872 Mr.. Root
in his professional capacity as young
lawyer defended Tweed in a judicial
investigation of crime with which
the latter was charged, and a genera
ton later while Secretary Of War fol-
lowed practically the unanimous advice
of army officers on the canteen Ques-
ton.
Mr.. Wilson's appearance in print ex-
cites tho suspicion that he is animated
by other than the patriotic" motives
which he asserts underly his assault,
because he acknowledges himself that
Mr. Root Is not a candidate for the
nomination.
Mr. Wilson claims to be placing the
record" Of Mr.. Root before the coun-
try and cites the aforementioned
events as the record"
AS l recall the record Mr.. Root as
Secretary of War under President Nc
Kinley reorganized the army. both in
its departmental and field activities
Of the service and attracted the atten-
ton of the country to his tireless in
dustry and great constructive intellect.
] recall that as Secretary Of State he
reorganized the consular service, plac-
ing 1t upon an efficiency basis and car
ried very far forward the effort of civil
service reformers to retain in the diplo-
matte service men of proven capacity
according to European standards.
AS a member of the Alaskan boundary
commission his great argument at Lon
don won over an English member OF
the tribunal sitting in judgment on the
dispute at the eleventh hour and
brought victory to the contention OF
the United States government.
I recall that as United States senator
his infrequsnt utterances on ques-
elucidated every subject that he touch
ed, and when he spoke democrats as
well as republicans all understood what
Theodore Roosevelt meant when he
wrote Of Mr.. Root: He is the greatest
man who has appeared in public life

Leper Who Escaped Friday
Night Surrenders Upon
Reaching Pittsburgh.
NO ORDER is EXPECTED
FOR RETURN TO THIS CITY
Fugitive Had Notified Health De-
partme1it That Life Here
Had Been "a He'll"

Earl r. Cradle, the leper whose
travels during the past few years have
kept the health depa rtments of several
cities on the qui vive. is not expected
to be returned to Washington from
Pittsburgh, where he gave himself up
yesterday, after his escape and flight
from the 1eper hospital on the Eastern
branch Friday night.
When Cradle came to Washington last
December, following his escape from
st. Louis, the local health authorities
called the attention of the Treasury
Department to one of its regulations
requiring that an escaped leper shall
be returned to the state which had him
in custody or confined in one of the
federal quarantine stations.
The Treasury officials, however, re-
fused to take action in the case, stat
ing that no leprosy commitments were
stations. and that it was not practical
BILE to force the return of a leper to
the state from which he escaped.
This apparently establishes a prece-
sent back to Washington by the Penn
sylvania authorities, notwithstanding
efforts are being made by DR.. j. F..
Edwards, director of the department Of
public health OF Pittsburgh, to nave
Cradle removed from that jurisdiction.
Voluntarily Surrenders.
Cradle surrendered voluntarily in
Pittsburgh. just as he did in Washing
ton and other places following his es-
capes from leper hospitals. 1t appar
emily is a fad with him to change his
abode as often as he desires new
scenery, though to all appearances he
has no desire to permanently escape
custody.
1t became known today that Cradle,
who has been dissatisfied for some time
with his living conditions on the
Eastern branch, had threatened to es-
cape last March. In a letter to the
health department under date of March
10, Cradle said: MY life has been a
hell here for three months and l can
stand it no longer. l am willing to go
anywhere and if you do not do some
thing 1 am going to walk out of here
in daylight"
In a previous letter to the health de-
partment. written in February, Cradle
strongly indicated that he and John
Early, the Districts other leper ward,
who is confined in the hospital on the
Eastern branch, were not on the best
of terms. All Of CRADLES communica-
tions to the department showed that
the principal cause of his dissatisfac-
ton was his enforced association with

Offers to Leave for $50.

One of his letters proposed a means
of escape. Doctor, I will offer propo-
sition that will make it easy for the
city and the District and no one will
ever know anything of it," he writes,
under date of February 16. Slip me
$50 and / will leave the District and
never come in it again. 1t is no more
harm for this city to do such than
other cities that have done it. But 1

CRADLES stay here cost the District
about $1,000. The local authorities made
every effort to apprehend him when
there was a ch haee OF d.h MS neing In the
since the report of his detention in
