S. public health service with the state departments of health of Washington, Oregon and Califor nia were co-operating. Consent had also been obtained from the three states to transport the leper through them and the car will be disinfected at each transfer point, Weedin said. “This man is not being deported because he is a leper," the commis. sioner stated, “but because he is an alien convicted of a felony. The proceedure would be the same were he healthy. By transporting him mow, before the expiration of his wsentence in 1929, the disease is in & less advanced state and is not so readily communicable.” IF MEXICO REFUSES U, 8.

Archer said that he would place all his facilities at the disposal of the physician in disinfecting the prison and examin- ing the inmates. Lira was at the prison when Ar- cher became warden last May, but at that time had not aroused thi suspicion of the old prison physl- clan, Dr. Charles P. Jento. Six months ago, however, Lira reported to Dr. Scallon for treat- ment of a skin infection. He was isolated soon after by the doctor, who tried various treatments with out success, “After eliminating all the other diseases 1 thought it could be, 1 sent a specimen of the diseased tis- sue to the public health service in BOXING TONIGHT: AT THE ARENA Fifth and University National At!

He had rather dreaded mingling with the patients. There was a horse race going on at the time, between three of the Most popular steeds in the colony. The jockeys and the crowd were all patients. London became so inter: ested in the ontcome of the race that when the excitement had died down, he found himself rubbing shoulders with the lepers them. selves.

This proved unsatisfactory later, however Dr. Adolph Raslag, who spent many y * in research work on the subject in China, gave out a very en thualastic interview which was pul lished in Current Literature in April, 1903. After a brief introduction, in which he told of the horrora of the ase among the poorer people in the Phillppines, China and other tropical countries, he briefly outlined the plan which he would present to the American government. THREE HOSPITALS IN THIS COUNTRY He would have three separate islands, one for men, one for women and one for those of both sexes that are almost cured. There must be plenty of fresh water, salt water and medicated water available. The men would wear only trunks, so that the frealt air would come In contact with The women would wear trunks and thin shirts Within ten years, he promised, lep- rosy would almost all be cured from | » the Island, Within twenty years, the leper islands would be absolutely un- necessary. His offer, for some un- known reason, never reached the government. In the United States, leprosy hos- pitals are maintained at New York, New Orleans and San o Weige om next day, he and Superintendent McVeigh of the colony, competed with the lepers in a trapshooting tourney, using the same guns and being In constant close contact with them. DOUBTS CONTAGION OF THE DISEASE The diseaso spread its first havoc on the return of the Crusaders un- der Richard the Lion-Heartpd to Eu- ropte, London related. It bas been contracted In tropical Jerusalem by the European adventurers, London, expresseg doubt aa to whether the disease was contagious, He told of a doctor at Manila who purposely injected Jeper germs into his system, but did not contract the disease, He then told of a criminal sentenced to death, who asked that “lhe be allowed to have leper germs Injected for the ake of medical science, instead of being hanged, This was granted, the criminal con- tracted the disease and died in the Moiakal colony, seyeral years later, However, it afterward developed that members of his famtly were lepers and were also confined in the same colony. A woman who was not a leper had five different husbands. who were all lepers. She gave birth to chidiren by each husband. None of the children or she contracted the disease, London particularly emphasized: the enjoyable conditions in the col- ony, The disease, he stated, was painless, and the people were happy and contented, even tho they were Secluded from the outside world. Seattle,” said Dr. Scallon. “I mark. ed it, ‘examine for leprosy,’ and the specimen was rushed back to me marked ‘Leprosy.” “Our suspicions confirmed, wo took immediate steps to Isolate him as completely as possible, altho our facilities are not of the best for that, We were afraid that he might es- cape and wander thru the country spreading the malady. “We put him in a separate house outside the prison grounds and kept @ guard nearby to see that he did not mingle with anyono else, When he was finally released, we burned all his surplus clothing, his blank. ets and everything he had handled. “I am confident that our precau- tions have removed any danger of contagion that might have existed,” Archer said that when first in- carcerated, Lira might have been confined in one of thé cella in the new celihouse with seven other pris- vners, but added that when he took over the institution he was put in a cell by himself, believed to be suffering from a minor skin ine fection. The disease i# said to be in an advanced stage now. WARDEN NOTIFIES DAUGHERTY BY TELEGRAM It was officially diagnosed in Seat- tle as leprosy a month ago. The warden telegraphed Attorney Gen- eral Daugherty last week, askin that Lira’s sentence be commuted on the ground that he was a leper, Two days later the commutation was received and the Immigration service notified to werve their war- rant for deportation. He left the island Sunday night and was brought to Seattle on his way to the Mexican border. Lira was’ sentenced from Los An- geles and began serving a sevens year term for stealing postoffice property on May 21, 1921. He has & mother Iiving at 1450 Kingman st, San Bernardino, Cal, According to Dr. Seallon, one of | the difficulties faced in determining those who have been exposed is that | teprony does not break out until two to 20 years aftor it has been contracted, It js communicable only by con tact, and as # rule repeated contact ja necessary, guld the doctor. Per gons living tn the vicinity, even in the same house with a leper, will not contract the disease as long as there is no physical contact between them, sald Dr. Scallon, . . PRISONERS AT PEN PROTEST! A rising tide of protest among pris- oners on McNeil island was checked Sunday by the release of Jose Lira, leper. Had action on the warden’s request for a commutation of sen- tence been delayed, prison officials feared that the protest might as- sume serious proportions. It was generally known thruout the prison that a laper was con- fined at the institution and the fear of contagion grew among the in- mates, “I don't blame them at all for wanting Lira removed," said Dr. Pat- rick J. Seanion, prison physician. “We have no facilities for treating a case of that kind. Altho ev caution was taken and the dani contagion entirely removed, the fear of leprosy seems to be inherited and we were anxious to do all we could to relieve the minds of the other prisoners. “There has been no trouble, as dis- clpling is especially good, But there was a strong undercurrent of pro- test, Everyone from the warden down to the men under punishment for bad behavior, are relieved that Lira has gone. 1 didn't enjoy being around him myself.” Vessel Must Coal Outside of Harbor Loaded with 260 tons of case dyna mite, the steamer Hesperus must bunker its coal from barges, the elty council deeided Monday, An applica- Von to permit the steamer to load at the Dearborn st, dock of the Pacific Coal Co,, was denied.

An official statement issued from Buckingham palace said: “The Right Honorable Stanley Baldwin, M. P., was received in audi. ence by his majesty, who offered him the post of prime minister and first lord of the treasury, recently vacated by the Right Honorable Bonar Law. “The Right Honorable Staniey Baldwin accepted his majesty's of- fer." “TL need your prayers rather than your congratulations,” Baldwin told friends who swarmed around to shake hig band as he arrived in Downing street after his appoint. ment. NEW PREMIER GOES UP FAST BY J. W. T. MASON Written for the United Press Stanley Baldwin is the least known of the leaders of the conservative party and has established a record in British politics by his rapid rise. ,| Ho has fewer enemies than any of the other contestants for the pre- mlership, which fact put him in the lead for the post of Bonar Law's successor. Baldwin was president of the board of trade in the Lloyd George coalition ministry, a position corre. sponding to secretary of commerce at Washington. When the conservative revolt against Lloyd George occurred, last year, Baldwin stuck by Bonar Law, while his political seniors among the conservatives, such as Austin Cham- berlain and Sir Robert Horne, re- mained with the coalition, When Bonar Law carried the general election, Baldwin was re- warded for his loyalty by being made chancellor of the exchequer, which is regarded as indluding the vice premiership, He is an admir- ablo parliamentary debater and he showed great force of character by handling of the negotiations for re- funding the British war debt to America, When Baldwin returned to London trom his visit to Washington Jast January with the debt agreement in his pocket, he was opposed at first But Bald. here on the charge of smuggling eo-|win finally won over his chief and caine and selling it to Turkish wo-|the settlement was accepted by the mon, British cabinet, another woman, | WILL BE PAID Baldwin as Premier Means Early Funding Agreement (Copyright, 1933, by United Preas) WASHINGTON, May 22.—Selec tion of Stanley Baldwin as prime | minister of Great Britain means an carly final agreement between the | United States on the funding of | Britain's $4,000,000,000 war debt | When it has been generally sup posed that this matter was all set: | | led the fact ix that it has |hanging fire and only today British ambassador sent to his gov ernment the “last word’ of the United States on certain changes desired by tho British government in the terms of the agreement | These chan; have in part to do} with the form of bonds the British | | government is to tasue to this gov: | jernment.
