A POOL-SELLER As PAYMASTER.


Collector Magone is representative Re
former Of this Reform Administration and he
has made some model Reform appointments.
Perhaps the most striking and remarkable Of
these is the selection of Moses Dnkelspel.
cmploye and associate of noted firm Of pro-
iessional gamblers and law-breakers, fer the
important and responsible place of Paymaster
in the Auditors Department Of the Custom
House. Mr.. Dinkelspic has managed the
finances OF the notorious firm of faro-bank
Keepers and booksellers, John DAILY & Co.,
whose sumptuous gambling rooms are among
the chief attractions Of Long Branch during
the summer season to those who wish to risk
fortune on the turn of card. John DAILY
& Co. have also been conspicuous at all the
chief Eastern race-courses for many years, and
Mr.. Dinkelspicl has decorated their betting
stand shouted the odds and checrfully ac-
copied the wapers Of all who wished to specu-
late on the chances Of favorite horses
In the fluctnating financial operations which
always attend the manipulations of faro. decks,
the spinning Of roulette wheels. and the I'M
certain investments on the odds Of horse
racing, Mr.. Dinkelspiel has shown himself
nimble, expert and adroit.- His proficiency in
these accomplishments has undoubtedly COM
mended him to the conscientious scrutiny Of
our austere Reform Collector.
Mr.. Dinkelspiel will be able to handle the
funds Of the Paymaster's Office with dcxterity
acquired by long practice with the check-rack
and the cash-drawer of gambling hells and. a
switness perfected by the rapid handling of
large bills in the betting-ring at Monmouth
Park But professional gamblers often have
a way Of correcting any slips Of fortune that
might prove unfavorable to them by "stack-
ing' faro cards, by "bracing" other games Of
chance and BY stiffening" race-horses The
skirts Of John DAILY s. Co. and their employees
may be clear OF all suspicor Of such nefarious
practices. Mr.. Dinkelspiel may have richly
deserved reputation as "square gambler"
But if he should happen to forget himself and
stack" the Paymastcr's accounts, "brace"
the pav-rolls or "stiffrn" the current cash Of
the office. Collector Magone will have bad
quarter of an hour.

BEHRING SE1 ONCE MORE.

The annual report of the Governor of Alaska
contains official information relating to the
recent seizures in Behring Sea. Three Of the
captured vessels escaped, but eleven were
taken to Sitka by the revenue cutters and
Judgment of forfeiture was formally decreed
against ten of them five British) with cargoes
of IL, 724 seal skins. The report contains the
briefs of the Queens counsel and Collector
Delaney in the legal proceedings at Stka, with
the opinion of the court overriding the de-
murrcr. The argument of the United States
counsel and the decision Of the court were based
upon exclusive jurisdiction established by
treaty with Russia and by Congressional legs-
lation The claim of the Queens counsel that
the United States challenged in 1922 the as
sumption of absolute sovereignty over Behring
Sea and that Russia subsequently rccedcd from
its position. is shown to be ill-foundcd. The
treatic; which Russia made with the United
States and Great Britain in 1924 and 1925
referred to the Pacific Ocean, but not to the
land-locked Behring Sea. of which the treaty
of cession was deed of partition. The court
at Sitka held that Russias jurisdiction over
Behring Sea had never been questioned, much
less surrendered, and that after the purchase
Congress had clear and unmistakable right to
extend American sovereignty to those waters
The Governor in his report asserts that the
National Administration is determined to MAIN
tain the right of exclusive jurisdiction over the
American half of Behring Sea. lie remarks
that no other inference can be drawn from the
seizures during the last year. 1t would seem
SO; but the diplomatic correspondence has not
yet been published. Secretary Bayard is
known to have fatal genius for surendering
American rights and compromising national
interests He may have undone by correspond
cncc all that the revenue service and the Alaska
courts have been doing for the prevention of
Doaching on the American seal preserves. He
NAV have turned pale when he saw the an
nounccment that two British mcn-of-war, the
Swiftsuro and another, had been sent To
Behring Sea, and that Admiral Hcneage, who
is to command the Pacific station. had re-
marked in Montreal that he would not allow
a British vessel to be seized outside the three
mile limit and that the homo Governments
"would back him up" Secretary Bayard may
ordinarily be trusted to favor the British view
