BEHRING SEA QUESTION.
The Subject Needs Common Sense Instead Of
Science

Science.
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-"There has been too
much science and not enough common sense
in treating the subject of seal life in Behring
Sea-" said, according to a Washington
special printed to-day, Special Agent Will
Jams of the Treasury Department, who was
sent to Alaskan waters last spring to super
intendent the killing of seals on the Pribyl-
off Islands. A correspondent had been
speaking with him about the report made
by Professor Elliott of the Smithsonian
Institution, wherein he contended the
method of killing seals on the land was
more destructive than deep-sea poaching
There is no trouble about the killing on
the land" Williams went on to say. ut Is
deep-sea pelagic sealing. as it is called, that
is so rapidly decimatiDg the animals"
Williams did not think the price Of seal
skins had advanced within the past few
davs, or that there was scarcity of skins.
In regard to the methods necessary to pre-
vent poachinG an inspector says: 1T can
only be prevented by some sort of interna-
tional agreement that will permit the
United States to seize not only any vessel
found sealing in the Behring Sea, but any
vessel having skins on board. Armed with
these instructions few vessels could patrol
those waters successfully. The three-mile
limit is no specia! protection to the United
States. 1t is comparatively an easy matter
for sch00ners to run in close to the rocks on
fOggy nights and send a boat ashore and
kill the seals in their rOOkerieS."
When asked If the seals were disappear
ing he said: There Is no doubt that unless
some measure of protection is afforded to
them, sealing will become lost industry"

aroused Mrs. Blake from deep slumber,

thing. you ought to save the best" Mrs.
Blake's ideas ON the subject were not iden-

quickly slipping on his stockings and foot
gear, and donning his hat, lighted a cigar
and rushed downstairs, robed in gown of
spotless white. The other folks in the

Blake, but when they did descend they
were more abundantly clad. Mr.. Blake
was the recipient OF marked attention from
the jokers about the neighborhood, and

HIS UNCLE'S HEIR,
A New York Peddler Claims a Large
Fortune.

NEW DIRK, Oct. 9.-Thirty millions Of
dollars is the moderate sum which Charles
HorowitZ. a poor peddler living at SO East
Broadway, believes that he has inherited by
the death of his uncle ia San Francisco. At
present when Charles has a run of good
luck he makes as much as 90 cents day,
and on one occasion he cleared So 90 in a
single week. On an average he makes So
week. Lawyers Drachmann & Nelson have
been retained by Horowi and his friends.
WHO have pooled tleir finances into a
fund for the purpose OF hiring counsel.
Horowiiz' claim to the thirty million is
based upon meager information. according
to his lawyers. In fact, the evidence that
that sum does exist and belongs to him is
similar, down to small details. to the claim
made six weeks ago by matchmaker
Alexander POtruch OF Clinton street, to the
effect that he was heir TO fortune OF four
teen millions lett by an uncle vino also died
in San Francisco. POtruch, through his
lawyers, Goldfogle & Copen, put in Il claim
for the money about five weeks ago, and the
lawyers are still working on the case.
Charles Horowitz is % years old, is mar
ried and has two children. He came to this
country TWO years ago from Wilma, Russia.
In the latter place he has two brothers and
a sister. He also has two brothers living in
London. An uncle who, he says, left the
Au1ly uillllOuS, WAS MIA IlUlOWltL.
Max has one brother living in Wilma,
who will naturally come in for the
lions share of the money. Charles believes,
however, that his share will be large
enough to lift him out of the peddling busi-
ness forever. Charles says that his uncle
left the town of Wilma at the age of II years.
This was about fifty years ago. Max went
to London, and after various misfortunes
obtained employment in the family of
London doctor. When he was 10 years
old he Ind obtained good education.
and becoming interested iu the boy
his employer agreed to fit him
for the medical profession. The boy in
time became a ful-hedged doctor. In his
twenty-eighth year the young Russian came
to this country, and after brief stop in the
East he jourDeyed westward, landing in
California 1T the height of the gold fever.
From that time forward to his death his
life is wrapped in a maze of doubt and
surmise as lar as his alleged relations are
concerned. They believe that he male a
rich strike in the mines, and so invested the
proceeds that every succeeding year in-
creased his profits at stupendouS rate.
He died eight months ago in San Francisco,
leaving will In which he beQueathed the
bulk of his fortune to charitable institutions
and small fortune TO his relatives. SO far
none of the relatives have secured any Of
the wealth.

UPON THE SANDS.
An Unknown Body Found on
Bakers Beach.

While patrolling Bakers Beach yesterday
morning Alex Gutenberg, Of the Life-saving
Station, iscoyertd the body OF a man upon
the sands, where it had been washed up by
the tide. The Coroner was notified of the
ghastly discovery, and Deputy BridgewoOd
and Messenger Harry Allen made their
way to the scene. and with great difficulty
carried the body up over the bluff in re-
ceiver.
An examination of the remains at the
Morgue shows that they had been in the
water at least two weeks. and the face was
so decomposed as to be unrecognizable. A
handkerchief was tied around the head and
the ends hung down over the face. The
body was dressed in coarse clothes. in the
pockets OF which were several scraps of
paper, clay pipe, a sailors thimble and a
garnet stud.
The writing on the paper was almost OBJ
liberated, but these words and figures were
deciphered:
Mr.. Lasey, Davis st.
Ship Glenburn, 612h.
McGTath.
On another scrap of paper, seemingly the
back of blank receipt, was the following:

The deceased was evidently laboring
or seafaring man and middle-aged. His
body was laid out on slab to await identi-
