One suggestion was to clear away
the debris in the old negro quarter
and erect tents there.
Since martial law was declared late
yesterday there has been no 1ndlca-

of race feeling had died out. There
were unsubstantiated rumors at va

of white passengers was reduced
sharply. On the train arriving mere

break today this city, under the con-
troll of strict martial law, began a
systematic Stock-taking of the death
and ruin which a few hours of race
rioting spread in its path Tuesday
night and yesterday morning.
The military forces, headed by
Adjutant General Barrett, started a
check up of the list of dead which
unofficial estimates placed at some
where near 100, most If them negroes.
Belief was expressed by /all officials
that the disturbance would not recur
Eight white men were killed so
far as a check of the morgues dis
closed.
Some of the thirty-five injured in
hospitals are expected to die. When
the military forces search the burned
bodies were expected to be found.
This morning the bodies of fifteen
negroes lay in the morgues.
Belief was expressed by officials
that the bodies of all negroes killed
would not be found, as it was thought
that a, number were burned in their
homes Then, too, reports were re-
ceived at military headquarters that
number of negro bodies had been
thrown into the river and others
buried outside the city.

signs of leprosy almost disappeared.
Such cases as these indicate that mod
erp science has gone far toward the ex-
tirpation of the disease against which
physicians have been fighting from time
immemorial.
Few realize, until they have turned
back into world history, how widespread
leprosy was at one time. Although there
has been some confusion as to the exact
nature of some of the eTuptive malady
SO designated, there Is no doubt that
the scourge Is a very ancient one. The
records show that the early Egyptians.
knew all about it The Greek writers.
such as Aristotle, were familiar with it,
although Hippocrates, Father Of Medi-
cine, does not mention it. Some OF the
Biblical characters. such as Nahum, the
Leper. and others, apparently had not
true leprosy, but leucoderma, or white
skin, which gave the snowy scales de-
scribad in the eloquent language or the
Scriptures Psoriasis was another skin
infection which might have been suf-
fered by those who passed as lepers.
True leprosy, however, as defined by
the medical men, is elephantiasis, ac-
cording to the Greek terminology, while
some medical dictionaries employ lepra,
which is derived from the Arabian word
used to describe the disease due to the
bacillus leprae.
Leprosy has existed for many years In
tropical countries and seems to have
been especially nurtured by warmth and
foul living habits 1t heavily scourged
Europe. however, in the Middle Ages, es-
pecially in France, England. Spain and
Germany It's presence Is recorded at
Canterbury in 1895. 1t rayaged Europe
for centuries. and even in the nineteenth
century there were many cases in Scot
land There is leprosy in Norway and
in Iceland for. strangely enough, cold
as are those countries, there are certain
portions of them in which the disease
has a stubborn footbold.
The effort TO stamp out leprosy on the
European continent caused the erection
of many leper houses in the cities and
villages. There are said to have been
10, 900 OF these institutions erected. In
the thirteenth, the greatest of centuries,
to employ the felicitous expression OF DR..
James J. Walsh. many noble institutions
and hospitals which were fairly COM
parable with those OF the present day
were reared. Men and women devoted
themselves unselflshly TO the care of the
stricken.

Leprosy at the present time is known
in many parts OF Asia, Africa, South
America and the West Indies. Very
often cases OF 1t appear in the United
states, and not infrequently the Board
OF Health has removed the sufferers
from the terrible disease from tenements
of New York city.
Although leprosy Is classified as an
exotic affiiction, 1t is often far nearer
to us than we realize. The fact that so
