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. BIG LAUREL, W. VA . Dec.

Some years ago Miss Margaret Knapp, a. stenographer, sued William Heckert, of Toledo, for $5,000.

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. Girl Sues Estate of Fiance, a Suicide LOWKLL, MASS .

That the Filipinos are in no way fitted for self-government is the statment made j by W. Cameron Forbes, ex-Governor General, back after nine years on the islands in executive capacity. “Is there any slavery In the Phil ippines as Dean Worcester has charged?” he was asked. “Of course there is—plenty of it, and there always has been.

V , Dec. 13.—C. C. Beck, J. B. Ransom, G. \V. Beck and It. G. Raync, with five horses and a watchdog, reached here from Olym pia. Wash., which they left May 1, 1912. The object of the trip is to test the endurance of one of the horses named Pinto, a group of Western stockmen having guaranteed the men in the company $20,000 if they make a trip reaching the capital of every State in the Union and arriving at San Fran cisco by June 15, 1915, the day of the opening of the Panama-Pacific Expo sition. Typed Signature many slaves are in the islands—they are everywhere. Worcester Accurate. “The principal slave markets are near Manila—In Tarlac, the next province, and in Pampanga, which is not far away. The slaves are practi cally all negritos and often are sold by their parents to the dealers. “Dean Worcester is absolutely ac curate in his description of the con ditions in this and every other re spect." 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 cation nor habits to entirely govern themselves, and this must work out gradually. It must be by a process of evolution, and no step should be taken that can not be retraced if needs be, i “To leave the islands to themselves —. r\ n . i r teht now would be an entire aban- rsQPQ I Inf’ Mfimript donment of the duties of the United JJCbl D V/liu \JUil V ILL ; states and could only result in harm ; to the people themselves. 1101,1 'MBITS, OHIO, Dec. 13.-Intro-j .

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.
