POLICEMAN TAK JOHN EARLY, LEPER, ES TO THE AIR COMING HERE WELL {Man Whose Escapes Caused| | I Much Consternation at Last Is Cured. i | | | | John Early, the leper, now 54 vears | 7ld, whose frequent escapes and roam- | ings about the country brought con- ! sternation to numerous health officers | in several States and in the District of | Columbia, is coming back to Washing- | ton. No anxiety will be felt over his | visit here this time, nor will police be | instructed to apprehend him. for John | Early is cured. He will call this month to pay his | respects to Dr. William C. Fowler, Dis- | trict health officer. who will congratu- | ‘late him. “Should he come with a ificate from the Public Health Serv- | said Dr. Fowler this morning, “I | Hoover Field.

' will be determined on an equal division | the company and the con-| | him.” John Early will depart this| month from the National Leper Home | { in Carville, La. | e PARKWAY TENANTS | “Sometime in November,” John Early | | is to be discharged with a clean bill | of health. “Recovered” is to be writ- | { ten after his name in the grim records | jof the institution. Another triumph | ! in medical science will have been ac- | complished.” Although Early bears scars of his af- | fliction upon his face. the Public Health | Service has pronounced him well. Pe- | riodic tests will be made, but there | seems to be scant danger of a relapse. Early first appeared in' Washington in August, 1908, when a local physician, homes of the Salvation Army and re- | ported the belief that he was a leper. { Dr. Fowler, then in charge of the con- tagious disease service under Dr. liam C. Wopdward, health officer, visit- er the Salvation Army Building and took charge of him. A Dbacterial examination clearly | showed that Early was afflicted with the dread disease. He protested that he was suffering from acid poison, and a view of his ailment. Early had been in the Philippines as a soldier in the United States Army, however, and it was generally believed that he had contracted the disease while in that country. Offered Problem Here. When Early was taken into custody by Dr. Fowler, the latter fully realized that he had a problem on his hands. There was no place in the District to which he could be taken, and his first night in custody here was spent in an ambulance near the District quarantine station in the vicinity of the jail. Mos- quitoes were so bad that the ambu- lance had to be covered with a netting to make life bearable. Later he was transferred to a brick building near the jail, which later became known as “Leper Hospital.” Protesting that he was not suffering from the disease, Early was permitted to go to New York for treatment. offi- cials of that State agreeing for him to come there. He left with the under- standing that he would not return to ‘Washington. Early did return, however, and was found some time later at the Shoreham Hotel, where he summoned newspaper reporters to hear his story before com- municating with Dr. Fowler. Again he was taken to the local leper hospital and later he'escaped. His wife and child joined him while he was in the little brick building near the jail, where a second child was born. His wife later left him and married & man who had befriended him. Sent to Louisiana. Through special arrangements John Early became a patient at the Louisiana Leper Home prior to the date in 1921 when the Public Health Service estab- lished the National Leper Home at Carville, La.. Life at Carville did not appeal to him. Early rebelled against his fate, against the routine painful treatments, against the necessary dis- cipline of the institution and even the segregation of himself and other lepers. He escaped and returned to Washing- | ton, announcing his prospective coming | in a telegram to a Star reporter. Before the message was received, however, Early appeared in the press room of the District Building. He was accompanied about the city until in the afternoon, when a message tele- phoned from the fifth precinct police station brought him and Dr. Fowler together again and-resulted in his be- ing detained at the local leper camp until he could be returned to Carville. In a second escape from the institu- tion Early made his way to his moun- tain home in North Carolina.. He had a feeling then that he would not recover and expressed a desire to spend his re- maining days near his relatives. A pe- tition received by the surgeon general, signed by practically all the residents of the town, requesting that the execu- tion of the Federal law governing the segregation of lepers be suspended and that John Early be allowed to spend the rest of his life in self-isolation in a remote section of the North Carolina hills was frowned upon, and Early re- turned to Carville. 5 Treatment Resumed. ‘Treatment was resumed again, but it was not as painful as it had been. Health service physicians had devised a way of mixing an anesthetic with each dose of Chaulmoogra oil. Early stayed and the health service in a re- cent bulletin saild he “now has his re- ward.” Farly was detained at the quaran- tine station in Port Townsend, Wash- ington, for a period of two years be- tween the times of his visits to this city, and also figured in a detention and escape from a quarantine station in St. Louis, Mo. Early is 54 years of age, but the Health Service declared “he is of rugged con- stitution and is expected to round out a full period of useful and happy old ag>.” He will return this month to his home in the North Ogrolina mountains near Tryon—a free man.

A second step in the legal battle for | rossession of 12 apartment units in the | Parkway, large residential structure, at Connecticut avenue and Macomb street, | which was sold at auction July 2 after it had failed as a co-operative project, was won today in Municipal Court by 18 tenant purchasers of stock in the building when Judge Mary O'Toole dis- missed ouster proceedings brought against them by the present owner of the property. Azreal Furr. Judge O'Toole held that Municipal | Court had no jurisdiction in the case, | because, in her opinion, the plea of the | plaintiff was based on evidence of title to the property, which she held was a matter for the District Supreme Court to consider. In this she upheld the con- tention of Gerald M. Johnson, attorney for the group of tenants resisting | ouster. | Counsel Reprimanded by Court. ‘The case was marked by heated de- | bate by Roger J. Whiteford, chief of | counsel for the plaintiff, with Judge O'Toole_over the meaning and intent of the District code dealing with land- lord and tenant cases, which ultimately brought him a reprimand from the ceurt. After Judge O'Toole had decid- ed against his client on the ground of jurisdiction, Mr. Whiteford remarked that the ruling was a “most amazing proposition.” Judge O'Toole rejoined that such a remark in court bordered on contempt and suggested that such a statement should have been made outside the hearing of the judge. Contention in the case grew out of the argument of counsel for the plaintiff that this was a “landlord and tenant case,” inasmuch as there was an agree- ment to vacate between trustees for the building prior to its auction sale and the 18 tenants Whiteford claimed this set up jurisdiction for the case in the Municipal Court, but Judge O'Toole up- | held the argument of Attorney Johnson that Mr. Furr, to sustain action, must depend upon deeds of title transfers which he had submitted as evidence, thus taking it out of the jurisdiction of Municipal Court. Claims Contract Breach. ‘Whiteford based his argument on a contract which was signed by the 18 defendants last June, agreeing to give up all title and interest in the property in return for four months free rent in the building. Also, it is learned, the tenants, by signing this contract got back deeds of trust which they had signed at the tigne of their purchase. ‘These deed totalled $98,000. The con- tracts, Whiteford pointed out, stated that the tenants agreed to surrender possession to their apartments Octobcr 31, at the conclusion of the free rent period. While not questioning the force of this contract, Judge O'Toole ruled that the contract alone did not establish landlord and tenant relationship be- tween Mr. Furr and the tenants. In his opening Whiteford stated that he did not question that the case was 2 hardship on people who had been “vic- timized by an unresponsible character” | and expressed the hope that the guilty | party would be brought to justice. but endeavored to show the justice of the claim of the present owner. REMEMBER LINCOLN ON “VETERANS’ DAY” Exercises Are Held at President’s Statue Under Auspices of Soldier Organizations.

Bachman, chief ac- countant of the Public Utilities Com- mission, who made a historical stud: of the property of the Washington Gas | Light Co., will be the first witness of | the Public Utilities Commission when | hearings are resumed next Monday on the company’s valuation case. A decision to put Bachman on the reached today at al conference between Col. Harrison | Brand, jr. vice chairman of the com-{ mission, and _People’s Counsel Ralph | B. Fleharty, who is depending on the | accountant to aid him in tearing down | the company's valuation claim. | Bachman has spent more_ than | year making a study of the historical | cost of the gas property, which he | found to be approximately $13,000,000. | This is the amount Bachman will claim | to be the actual cost, whercas R. O.| Luqueer, the company's engineer, has | told the commission it would cost | $28,274,000 to reproduce this property as of December 31, 1927. Call Wolf and Owen. Two other commission witnesses also will be put on the stand next week if the procedure mapped out today is| followed. One is H. Carl Wolf, the commission’s engineer, whose appraisal | of the company’s property on the repro- | duction theory is almost as high as Luqueer’s. ‘The other is Thomas J.| Owen, a real estate man, who made an | appraisal of the land owned by the | gas company for the commission. | Corporation Counsel William W. Bride, the commission’s general counsel, will conduct the direct examination of | the witnesses, which will leave Fleharty | free to attack any portion of the testi- mony of witnesses through _cross-| examination and also leave him free in his arguments, as he will not be | bound by the direct testimony of any witnesses. * PERMIT IS GRANTED FOR PLANE STATION Passenger Embarkation Service at| Hains Point Given Approval by Grant. Establishment of a passenger embark- ation station for seaplanes at Hains Point in East Potomac Park today was approved by Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, director of the office of public build- ings and public parks in the National Capital. The permit was granted to the International Airways, Inc., and gives this organization authority to use the wharf at Hains Point for taking aboard and discharging passengers for sightseeing trips over the city by plane. The permission does mot give au- thority, according to Col. Grant, to| erect any hangars in the park, and, in fact, he said, the planes will land in the river and taxi up to the wharf for pas- sengers. The service is scheduled to} begin in the Spring with seven-pas- senger monoplanes of the same type to be used by Comdr. Byrd on his South Pole flight. The airways company is to pay the Government, Col. Grant said, 4 per cent of its net earnings from this serv- ice and this is to be turned into the Treasury of the United States. Col. Grant said that he also had under consideration an application for the establishment of a land plane sight- seeing service in East Potomac Park in the area between the golf course and the tourist camp. However, some ob- jection to a location of a landing field here was found on the ground that it would be dangerous to persons on the golf course and in the tourist camp as well as to thousands of automobilists who use the roadways in this area. Because of this danger, Col. Grant said that he had deferred action on this | request pending further study of the | BANK AND STORE CAUSE ARREST OF TWO BOYS Two former inmates of the National| Training School for Boys were arrested here today by Headquarter’s Detectives Ira Peck and B. W. Thompson on the complaint of a banking house and a department storé. One is charged with six cases of forgery and the other with false pretenses. ‘The one against whom the forgery charges were placed is Robert Glenn, 18 years old, of Atlanta, Ga. The other is John Thomas Donnelly, 18 years old, of the 1400 block Good Hope road ! southeast.
