which several months ago appointed
a committee to look into it's pur-
chase.

The plan was abandoned, however,
when it was found that dock faci,-
tiles could not be obtained. Mr.. Ford
then took up the case primarily to
assure coal supply for his Detroit in

Grand Forks, N. D., July 1O.-A

ton for all crops except rye are in

MOTHER OF LITTLE CHILD

The leper OF kldder county,"
a woman named Houst at Crys-
tai Springs, 60 miles east Of
Bismarck, will be segregated
from contact with all other hu-
man beings, except attendants,
to pass the rest of her life.
Armed with an official order,
Sheriff Bilbin of Kidder county,
and Mrs. Rose Lewis, nurse at
tached to the state board Of
health, is in Crystal Springs this
afternoon to effect an isolation.
1t is probable that a little
tract of ground, with a house,
will be obtained for the woman
to spend her remaining days,
which probably are not many.
Family With Her
For years the Houst woman has
been living in Crystal Springs with
her father, mother and nine-year-oid
fatherless girl. Though dreadfully
marked with disease people have, pass
ed in and out of the house, and the
little girl has been her chief attend
ant. ...
Some people have thought she was
suffering from social disease. When
Mrs. Lewis, formerly a nurse with the
American Expeditionary Forces,
learned Of the case few weeks ago.
she Immediately took action to dispose
of the case
She called DR.. Ruedger, OF Bismarck,
there for an examination, this being
made in June. He also examined the
little girl, and found the girl free from
disease. DR.. Ruedger had had expert
ence with leprosy in the PHILIPPINE
Islands and he Immediately pronoun-
ced the case leprosy in the final
stages.
Obtained Order
Mrs. Lewis obtained an order from
the office Of Attorney General LANCER
yesterday to go ahead with the pro-
ceedings to effect an isolation.
The. HOust woman is AZ years old
land is native of Russia. She is be.
lieved to have brought the disease
from Russia. Leprosy is prevalent !,
Japan and China and is not unusual in
Russia, according to DR.. ,Ruediger.
The house in which the woman lives
in Crystal Springs has been fenced
off, and the little girl has not been
permitted to go to school, but the
isolation has not been complete
In Horrible Condition
Leprosy, according to DR.. .Ruediger, is
transmitted by germs, in much the
same manner as tuberculosis, and it is
not expected that any people who have
visited the home of the woman have
been infected with the disease.
While the little girl has not been
permitted to go to school it is said that
has frequently gone to the local store.
and has come in contact with other
people.
The woman now is approaching the
last stages of the disease, it is said.
She is in horrible condition. One
finger on her right hand has dropped
Oft, her left hand is held to her arm
only by skin and her right arm is in
the last stages of disintegration, it is
said. She has hole in her frontal
bone, and is marked in numerous
places about the head.

NEW PARTY HEAD
FOR OWNERSHIP
BY THE PUBLIC
Would Take Over Transporta-
tion System and All Basic Indus
tries Temporary Chairman Says

Chicago, July 1O.-Both the RepublI.
can and Democratic parties were de-
nounced at the opening of proposed
third party national convention here
today. IT.
Allen McCurdy, temporary chairman
sounded the keynote, declaring the
country wants "feWer laws and more
freedom" He said the issue on which
the party would make an appeal
would be the abolition of special
privilege"
"To accomplish this purpose" he
declared, lit proposes public owner
ship of transportation and of the
principal basic resources of the coun-
try and declares that all land held
out of use for speculation should he
forced into use by taxation"
Seek League Support
The platform was framed in an
effort to draw into the third party
the labor party and the World War
veterans which are holding convea-
tions here, and the organizers count
on the supporters of the Nonpartisan
league, which is represented here.
"The full success of what we are
trying to accomplish would include
our getting the support of organized
labor sympathizers of the single tax,
the Nonpartisan league and the bulk
of the independent voters of the coun-
try" said J. A. H. Hopkins, chairman
of the committee of 4S, which called
the meeting.
... Makes No Prediction
Mr.. Hopkins would make no pre-
diction as to the probable nominee
for president and vice president. He
called attention to returns from a
questionaire sent out last spring. Ont
Of 2,l00 replies received, LaFollette
had the greatest number of first
choices for president with 1924, Hoov-
er 1911, Debs 172 and Johnson 157.
Hoover and Johnson have both de
clared they will support the RepuDli-
can ticket, Eugene Debs, now in pyis-
on, will be named by socialists, and
a committee which visited Senator La
Toilette failed to obtain definite an,
nouncement that he would accept the
nomination.
Bolt Threatened
Several organizations in the combine
are threatening to bolt unless their
planks are included in the platform
Among those actively working for
planks are the Peoples Money party
the Farmers Equity socety,/the Pro
ducers and Consumers league and the
league for the Independence of India.
Representatives of the Nonpartisan
league who conferred with the labor
party and are reported to have pleds-
ed their aid in the formation Of the
new party announced today that they
were attending the conferences "in
personal capacity only"
LaFoIIette Silent
Madison, Wis, July Ex-senator
La Toilette is not expected to give
his word in the third party matter
today. Robert Jr., secretary to his
father, and Gilbert Rowe, have gone
to Chicago to watch the third party
get under way, it is said.
From what can be learned of the men
who have conferred with the senator
he will not lead the party if it is
broken up and is not in full accord
with his platform.
