WASH I NCI TON, Dec 13. Drastic
regulation nf the transportation of
victim® of tuberculosis from State to
State is contemplated by the Federal
<Government aa a result of an investi
gation now bring conducted by the
Public Health Service.
The move will have the effect of
curtailing to a great extent the mi
gration of tuberculosis patients to the
dry climate of the West and South
west. The service will puncture the
belief that a dry climate is necessary
to the cure of the disease.
Already the investigation has dis
closed that Chicago harbors more
transient consumptives than any other
city in the country. Because it Is
the greatest railway center In the
country and the gateway of the West
thousands of victims/ of the white
tdague pass through it annually seek
ing a salubrious climate.
These sufferers change cars In Chi
cago, stopping a few hours In a rail
road station generally. The condi
tions under which these patients
spend this waiting interval in Chi
cago have been Investigated during
the last fortnight by agents of the
J’ublic Health Service. The invest!
gators also counted the number of
sufferers arriving and departing on
all the lines.
From Chicago the agents have pro
ceeded to the Southwest, investigat
ing the conditions under which pa
tients travel and mingle with healthy
passengers.
The findings of the Inveatigators
will bn embodied In a report setting
f«»rth exactly what danger the travel
iTig public runs of infection from tu
berculosis passenger*. It also will j
lay down a set of regulations for pre
venting consumptives from coming
into contact w ith healthy passengers
both on trainb and in railway sta
tions.
The demand for the investigation
came originally from California. Ari
zona New Mexico, Colorado and oth
er Western States which have been
endeavoring for years to stem the
tide of tubercular immigrants.
In many Western communities
“lungers." as they commonly are
known there, constitute a large part
of the population. They are re
garded as undesirable citizens by the
natives, who complain that the suf
ferers are a menace to public health.

GRAYLING. MICH I ipr, 13
From poverty and the obscurity of a
little country town to a fortune of
$2,000,000 is, in a sent etc < . the Alad
din-like story of 21 year-old Klvin
Kes'-happelle. of Grayling. Within a
few weeks the young man will entejr
Into his share of the estate left by}
his father, a millionaire lumberman i
of Northern Wisconsin
The hoy has been living with Ins !
grandfather. I >elbert Taylor, since he i
was a child. His mother was Mary
Taylor and she was married about
22 years ago to Joseph Leschappelle.
The young Frenchman was hot-tem
pered and they quarreled within a
month of their wedding day. He left
Grayling at night in a rage and never
i et limed.
Mother Weds Again.
After the birth of her son the
young mother felt called upon to
support herself, since her father was
pour. She secured a divorce from
Lescbappell., and, intrusting Klvin to
her father, left Grayling. She is
married again, has reared another
family and resides in Wisconsin.
Her former husband was an ex
perienced woodsman and when he left
here went to an obscure lumber
camp near the northern boundaries
of Wisconsin. He rose through the
successive grades of lumberjack and
foreman to timber cruiser and then
to speculator In timber lands.
He bought largo tracts of heavily
timbered country when pine was
cheap and did not sell until years
later, when it had become scarce and
dear. He also married again and one.
son was horn to the second marriage.
Investigates Report.
The millionaire died recently* and
word eventually reached Grayling
that Klvin was heir to a part of ids
father’s estate. His grandfather In
vestigated the report somewhat but
was ioo poor to establish legally Kl-
vln’s claim. The boy's chances to
share in the fortune were dwindling
when Ft. Hanson, Grayling's foremost
citizen and himself a millionaire lum
berman, heard the rumor and im
mediately interested himself for El-
vin.
He took the boy to Detroit and se
cured a competent attorney. Inves
tigations were prosecuted in Wiscon
sin and Elvln’s relationship to the
founder of the Lesehappelle fortune
was conclusively proved. As a result
the estat** is being wound up and
Klvin will share equally in the $4,-
000,000 estate with the half-brother
he has never seen.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13. Miss Lillian
I) Post, of No. 151 Central Dark
West, lived for ten years within two I
blocks of her husband without ever j
suspecting she was married.
In fact a Hupreme Court referee
decided yesterday that she never was
married, although she has been a wife
all the time. The paradox is ex
plained by her assertion that she
thought the marriage ceremony was
only a formal betrothal.
The, referee, William W. Hoffman,
yesterday recommended an annul
ment decree, because the relations of
Miss Post and her husband, George
Lester Lary, of No. 252 Fourth street,
Jersey City, have always been pla
tonic.
Miss Post she has always gone by
this name and even fcer most inti
mate, friends have uever known her
as a wife testified at the secret trial
;is follows:
Bridegroom Was III.
"1 was 18 on November 18. 1903,
and had just graduated from the
high school. Mr. Lary was then
20 years of age and had been calling
on me for two years. I have always
lived in Jersey City and am only
temporarily In New York. Mr. Lary
had an attack of typhoid fever and
afterward pneumonia and then had
another relapse of typhoid in 1903.
After he recovered he came In my
home.
“He said that we could go to New
York and go through a formal be
trothal ceremony. I was sort of sorry
for him, as he was quite ill at the
time.”
Never Thought It Marriage.
Miss Post told how she and Lary
went before the Rev. Dr. Hartley,
pastor of the Hope Baptist Church,
on 104th street, and were married.
“No. I did not consider it a mar
riage.” she testified, "because I al
ways supposed that two people who
are not residents of a State and don’t
intend it • to be a marriage are not
really married."
It was not until six weeks ago that
Mrs. Margaret Post, mother of the
| bride, heard of the ceremony and
suggested an annulment.

“Dean Worcester is absolutely ac

Speaking on the unfitness of the
natives for self rule, Mr. Forbes said:
“The natives are unquestionably
not fit for self rule. Any step toward
a present autonomy is premature;
the natives arc fitted neither by edu

themselves, and this must work out

BOSTON, Dec. 13,—Richard K. Pow
ers, of Lancaster. Mass., has just
passed Ills one hundred and third
birthday. He is probably the only
man living who ever saw Mary's lamb,
or Mary, either, for that matter. This
is the way Mr. Powers tells the story
made immortal by a bit of doggerel.
“Mary Sawyer was my cousin. She
was a few years younger than I, and
at the time the lamb was born she
had not started to go to school.
“The lamb was one of twins, born
In March. 1814. on Sawyer’s farm.
The ewe didn't like the idea of twins,
and disowned this particular lamb.
Mary’ begged her father to let her
have It as a pet. He gave It to her,
and she brought it up by hand.
Saw Ammal Scrubbed.
“I’ve seen her spend half the morn
ing washing it—soaping its fleece and
rinsing it and drying it as carefully
as If it was a baby. She used to
tie ribbons round its neck—mostly
pink. Xaturaly, the lamb liked her.
and used to trot around after her just
like a dog, and bleat if she left It
alone.
“The fall after the lamb was born
Mary started to school. Her two
brothers took her to the schoolhouse,
and of course they never thought of
the lamb. They got to school early,
and there the lamb caught up with
them.
“Well, first they tried to send It
home, but it wouldn’t go any more
than a dog. Then the Sawyer boys
said: ‘Here, let’s sneak it into the
schoolhouse. Teacher hasn't come
yet.’
Put Lamb in Mary’s Desk.
“Half the school helped. Mary was
a new student, so they put it in her
big, box-like desk, and told her to
hotfd the lid down. I sat near and I
could hear it JV^mbling around in
the desk when the teacher came in.
"It went to sleep for a while, I
reckon. But about the middle of the
morning there came a scramble and
a little squeal from Mary, and out
popped the lamb. Mary was , scared
and began to wfhimpor. The teacher
told her not to mind, but the lamb
had to go outdoors. It waited outside,
baa-Ing all day, till Mary-went home
after school, and then it trotted along.
