THE AUTHORITIES
AT WASHINGTON
Do Not Want Early, the Leper
Returned There. Want
North Carolina
TO KEEP HIM HERE

Washington, Sept. 19-The health
authorities of the District OF Colum-
bia do not want John R. Early, the
escaped leper, returned to this Ju-
risdiction and will endeavor to force
North Carolina to retain Early, who
was captured at Tryon.
Early claims to be native OF
North Carolina and now that he has
been captured in chat state, after
his recent escape from his isolated
prison on the Potomac river, the OIL
fcials of the district government
want him to remain there. The lep-
er has been considerable trouble to
the district for the past eight years
and his capture in North Carolina
affords a possible way of getting rld
of the district charge.
District officials said yesterday
they would not only decline to send
for Early but would attempt to keep
North Carolina from returning him
here.
If North Carolina authorities can
find a way to get Early back into
the district, however, the authorl-
ties here fear they will have to be-
come responsible for him again.
Several hours after Early had
been located at Tryon, Inspector
Clifford Grant, chief of detectives,
received a telegram from Marshal
Webb of Asheville, stating that
North Carolina authorities were anx-
ious to get rid of him.
Replying to the message, Inspec-
tor Grant stated that Early was
native OF Tryon, that the authorities
there should care for him, and that
the local health department would
refuse to send for him.
DR.. William C. Fowler, district
health officer, announced that he
would Immediately take steps to
prevent the authorities in North
Carolina from sending him back to
this city. DR.. Fowler stated that
Early was born and reared in Tryon
and as he was native of that city
the authorities there should take
him into custody.
He added that there was no law
to prevent the North Carolina Off
cials from sending Early back to
this city.
DR.. Fowler added that the leper
has been a great expence to the dis
trict government since his contine-
ment here. During the past four
years, he said, Early has cost the
government approximately $4,000 a
year.
Since his escape the leper has OBJ
viously come in contact with hun
dreds of persons, and evidently
made them subject to the dreadful
malady. At the union station here
he purchased salve and his railroad
ticket to the North Carolina town
with monel which had been
in his clothes for more than ten
days. He also came in contact with
non-suspecting persons on the train
during his trip and thereby tending
to spread the contagious disease.
When arrested as he stepped from
the train in the North Carolina
town he wore the same grey suit and
cap which he wore when he MADE
his escape here. These he had worn
for several years.
Persons who use the berth on the
train which theleper used are liable
to the disease, providing it is not
thoroughly sAerilized. The disease
can also be caught by persons using
unsterilized dishes previously used
by Early.

New York. Sept. 25.-Six billion
dollars is the minimum amount
which the people of the United
States are asked to subscribe for the
fourth Liberty loan, according to an
announcement by william G.. NC
Adoo, secretary of the treasury, in a
stirring address here, outlining the
government plan for the campaign
which starts Saturday.
The share allotted to New York
federal reserve district is $1,SOO,-
100000, or 80 per cent of the great
est loan yet offered. The loan, which
will bear IA per cent interest, will
run for 20 years, maturing October
Is, 1888, unless the government
should exercise its reserved right to
redeem the bonds on or after Octo-
Der Is, 1888.
Asserting that without this vast
sum I'VE cannot lick the kaiser" theI
secretary made a special appeal for
the subscriptions of corporations and
wealthy individuals, as returns from
the third Liberty loan indicated that
wealthy corporations and persons of
large means had not responded COM
mensurately with their abilities to
help. He pointed out that of the s.
OO0 600 Americans who subscribed |
for the last loan, only 22,500, in
cluding corporations, bought bonds
in excess of 10000.
"It would be preposterous," " ne
said. Ito say that theer are only 22,-
500 men, women and corporations ia
America able to lend more than $10,-
300 each to their government in
Liberty bonds" .

BE A FLAG ON
THE COURT HOUSE NOW

Many people who have noticed the
flag pole on the court house with no
flag floating from it have attributed
the flags not being there to the fact
that the officers in the court house
were not patriotic. However the
real reason they did not float the
flag was because the flag pole, which
was set in solid stone had worn the
stone away by constant vibration and
stood uncertainty supported by two
small rods. Men are now reinforc-
ing the stone with cement and the
flag will float again

UKRAINE 100000
RuBLES IN GOLD

London, Jan. 15.-France has loaned tn.
Ukraine 100000 rules in gold. according
to dispatch from the Odessa correspon-

French mint also has printed a large
quantity of Ukraine paper money.

course OF long report TO the Rada de-
clared that France, the United States,
Great Britain, Belgium and Rumania
were interested greatly IN the organiza-
ton Of the Ukraine republic He added:
AS circumspect people they hesitate to
recognize the republic completely, bu:
when they find its expedient they will ex-
tend US their hands, which we will ac-
cept II we think 1t necessary"
General Ninnechenko described the Tx.
raine as an oasis of order and constitu-
tional policy.
The correspondent OF the Times saws
that the feeling of Rurran!ans toward
the Russians is embittered greatly. The
kumanians feel that they have been
thrice betrayed by Russia; First by The
Cars government next by the provincial
government, and now, worst Of an by the
BolSheVik government
