SAYS MOSQUITO
CARRIES LEPROSY
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
RIO DE JANEIRO, March 14.—The
mosquito is the most hated citizen of
Brazil. The latest charge against
him is that of carrying and trans
mitting leprosy. Dr. Beaurepaire de
Aragoa made the charge today and
declared he proved it in several
specific instances in his studies in the'
government leper colonies. It is es
timated that leprosy, in its various
forms, has about 26,000 victims in
Brazil.
About thirty-five people went out
on the train this morning.

Great Interest in
the Billiard Games
The billiard tournament attracted j
attention of both players and public,
last night. Eight games in all were
played, the play continuing up to mid
night before an enthusiastic audience.
Matheson, of Class B. won his third
straight, but he still has to reckon
with Balderston and James. Balder- |
ston plays his first game tonight, j
James, last night in his game with |
Lane, finished with an average of 1.27 j
which is considered “big league”
stuff. Colwell and Finnegan played a
genuine Class A game with a score of;
75 to 69 in Colwell’s favor, nip-and- j
tuck all the way through. Either one
of them may take the confident smile
away from Bruner who won from
Cassel, 100 to 65, at the same time;
making the high average to date of
2.32. Sinclair lost his game to Stine i
after winning from Anderson. Mar-.
gules played a mulligan of billiards, ;
telephones, and business, and succeed
ed in losing to Matheson. Lane so far
has increased the hopes of his com- j
petitors by losing where he was ex
pected to win.
Several players will probably ap
pear tonight who have not yet played
their first game in the tournament,
and surprises of .all kinds may be
looked for.

OH WHERE ARE THEIR
WANDERING BOYS TONIGHT?
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
WASHINGTON, March 4.—Wash
ington is wondering w'hat has become
of her wandering boys. “The boys"
usually show up in January preceding
a Presidential election, loaded with
campaign buttons, speeches and im
perishable literature favoring some
candidate who is not only w illing but
anxious to save his country from the
wolves of the opposition.
Four years ago there was a notable
reunion of “the boys." Taft and
Roosevelt overshadowod most other
candidates on the Republican side,
but in the Democratic field the race
was open to new entries right up to,
convention time, and the entries came
thick and fast to the last minute.
Every night or bo some new candidate
took a flying dive into the heap of
self-sacrificing heroes willing to give
up their important private affairs to
serve the public.
Wilson, Clark, Harmon, Underwood,
Gaynor—a host, in fact, put them
selves in the hands of their friends.
Few were the hotels that could not
boast, or could but admit, they w'erc
headquarters for some one or eighteen
of the candidates.
Washington w*as headquarters for
ex and prospective office holders,
publicity men and press agents. At
any time after 2 o’clock in the after
noon an outsider who braved the
storm of argument that enveloped the
eob-webby interior of the historic bar
w’herc solons and others gather could
persuade himself that the Presidential
chair would have to be a community
affair, and the White House turned
into an apartment building to ac
commodate the “can’t losers’’ w'ho
were going to be elected.
But this year “the boys’’ have not
showm up.
_
Those of the Democrats who would j
be willing to succeed Mr. Wilson as
the pilot of the Ship of State are
hanging bashfully in the background i
waiting for encouragement that doc9-1
n't, at the present time, seem likely \
to arrive. Until Theodore Roosevelt
is down in black and white and up in
arms, until his hat is in the ring and
his Big Stick swinging, or until he is
definitely settled the other way, many 1
of the Republcan martyrs who would
be willing to run and save the United
States are likewise hanging back.
It looks rather bad for the boys. It
takes some time to launch a good pub
licity bureau. Unless they get an
early start, the succession of pri
maries makes impossible the import
ant early claims to the several States.
Any evening in February, 1912, for
instance, a credulous reader would
have had to shoot dice with himself
to find which of ten candidates could
be believed when he proved absolutely
and without fear of successful ton
tradiction that he would get the solid
delegation to Baltimore or Chicago.
Few persons in Washington know
just what is wrong thi3 year. The
boys do not effect anyone very much
except the hotel proprietors, the
restaurauteurs and the several hun
dred newspaper correspondents.
Principally the newspaper correspond
ents.
It was a sad day in the old year ;
when a newspaper correspondent
didn’t get enough campaign literature
to paper a room large enough to
house most of the Presidential aspir
ants. And this is a sad year; but so
far, they have managed to hear up
under the strain.
