all to themselves.
WILL BE GIVEN RIDE.
Following their attendance at the
theater all the orphans will be given
a long motor ride and then taken to
the doors of their respective insti-
buttons.
Manager Beatus has urged The
Washington Times to make every ef-
fort to apprehend and bring to the
Palace Theater next week every soli-
tary white orphan in Washington
because he believed that In THE
Love Light" he has the Mary Pick
ford Aim which will afford the chill
dren the greatest possible enjoyment
and he does not want any OF them
to miss IL.
In case any OF the orphans have
been omitted from the above list, per-
sons knowing of other large groups
Of white orphans would confer a
favor upon Manager Beatus by COM
municating with him. Better than
that, persons knowing of such or
phans can present them at the box
office at the Palace Theater any
morning next week and Manager
Beatus will be glad to give the door
man the wink.

Charles H. Young, inmates of the
District Leper Hospital on the East
ern Branch, it became known today
PUBLIC TO BE PROTECTED.
DR.. William c. Fowler, District
Health Officer, declined to make pub
lie his plans for the transfer OF the
two men. He would say only that
the removal would be made in such
a manner that there will be no chance
Of the disease spreading.
Surgeon General Cummings, OF the
United States Public Health Service
Saturday gave DR.. Fowler permission
to send these men to the national in
stitution. 1t has not been decided
whether the transfer will be made by
local or Federal authorities. a..
Not until the lepers are safely guar.
tered at Carville will DR.. Fowler
make public the fact that they have
been removed from this city. 1t was
said at the Health Department to-
day. 1t is believed they will be taken
away this month.
long fight to have the lepers
taken out of Washington will be
ended when these two men leave
town. DIR. Fowler has been In COM
munication with the Health Service
for many months asking for their re-
moval. The Health Service has been
unable to take charge of them until
recently, when the purchase OF the
leprosarium at Carville. one time the
Louisiana State Leprosarium, was ne
gotiated.
IN CUSTODY MONTHS.
Centlivre was taken into custody
about eight months ago. He escaped
from Carville and came to Washing
ton. He appeared at one of the
Health Department clinics and was
guaranteed.
A few months ago, DR.. Fowler re-
ceived telephone call from a ply
stefan that he had discovered a leper
here DR.. Fowler Investigated and
took Charles H. Young into custody.
Young declares he had been travelling
over the United States and several
times had been taken into custody.
Both men were housed in the leper
hospital on the Eastern branch. 1t
cost the District at the rate of about
$4,000 year to care for them. Their
removal was requested by DIR. Fow-
Ter because they are not residents of
the District.
When the lepers are removed the
leper hospital will be closed.
