R A PATHETIC CASE. HLvged Woman, Afflicted With Lop- j rosy, Can Not be Transferred to Molckai. Washington, Aug. 0.?Though vir tuall.v a part of the United States, the leper colony on isolated Molokai I c-iu not recruit its death marked po pulation from this country. It is I this tar I, that makes^ it impossible I for government ollieials to eompl.v with (he request of the territorial authorities of Arizona for the speedy deportation of aged Mrs. Wardell, whom the terrible disease has claimed for ils victim. According to Dr. II. I"), CJeddings,' assistant surgeon general of the bnIau of public health and marine hostal service, the leper sell lenient : ! olokai is strictly a territorial surprise or charily, maintained by ie 11 awaiian islands. There exisls illier law nor precedent to warrant ie removal of a leper from anv I ale or lerrilorv, Tiowever. (o I lie (llenienl, and Dr. Oeddings voices ie opinion of the bureau thai Ihe awaiian health authorities would i?t approve such a move. The proble correctness of this view is emlasized by the fact thai it would be ?cess?ry to transport the palienl ist lo Honolulu, there to remain nnai ransjements could h<> made for nding her to the colony. "There is a law," stated Dr. (Jedn<rs to Ihe Associated Press, "thai ohibils Ihe Iransporlalion ol' lepers 'oni one State lo another, hut ex'ption probably could be made in lis case were it possible for ns to ive her deported lo Molokai. But e have aboslulely no jurisdiction I and have so informed the authorities of Cochise enunfy, of which Tombstone, Ariz., is the county-seal. We wired 1 hem to this effect immediately on receipt of (heir telegram and followed with a more detailed exJ plana!ion of the reasons for our inability lo act by letter." Dr. C.leddings nserted IliaC the bureau was not even informed of the woman's name and fhat no steps had been taken lo secure it, inasmuch as Ihe government is powerless lo act in i Vhe case. Mrs. Wardell's ca.-e is an unusually pathetic one. Doomed in her declining years to live an outcast from fo endure a living death, her mind has given way and she has '-.'one violently mad. Closely c|iiarantinei! in a loneh spot in Tonihher isolation is made doubly secure, for she is kept shackled lo her bedpost. To make ihe case more sad. if possible, her feeble husband, who is 8(5 years old. is very weak as the result of an operation for cancer and unable lo minister to the needs of his afflicted male. With a devo- ] lion that challenges ihe admiration of all mankind Ihi snohle old man in- j . sisls on remaining with liis wife until they arc finally parted by death. It is hardly likely that they will ever leave Tombstone. Mrs. Wardell has a brother named Albert Cole now serving I term of six years in orison in Arizona, (low Isibbev will, it is said, be petitioned lo par- J don him in order that he may care for the afflicted pair. JUDGE A. B. PARKER HELPS STOP RUNAWAY. Renders Timely Aid, Seizing Horses by the Bits and Bringing Them I to Standstill. San Luis Obispo, Cal., Aug. J).?Alton B. Parker of New ^ ork brought first aid yesterday afternoon in what was almost a fatal runaway. While A. U. Mills and his wife and daughter of this city and David Oliver, .i school director of San Francis' co, anddiis daughter were riding in a I surrey the team became frightened | at an automobile and ran away. The .? surrey was overturned and Mr. Oliver and daughter and Miss Mills woro caught underneath. Mr. and Mrs. Mills were thrown clear of the langlo and Mr. Mills seized Ihe reins. After Ihe surrey had been dragged 100 yards with its pinioned captives, ^ Mills partly checked Ihe runaway I cam. Just J lion Mr. Parker and Dclancey Nicoll of New York whirled up the road in an automobile. Almost before (he machine was slopped Mr. Parker leaped from Ihe tonneau and seized Ihe horses bv tho bits. The animals were brought to a standstill and Ihe three bruised occupants of Ihe wrecked surrey were liberated. All were put in Mr. Parker's automobile and taken to I ho ' .Mil' < home. Every owner of an automobile is a ,?ood roads enthusiast. \ <? j HON. JULIUS E. BOGGS, So, CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.
