The Scott Case OF Destitution Relieved
Last,

The Scott Case OF Destitution Relieved Rt
Last.
The destitute Scott family, which
moved here from Georgetown near Bell
aire about ten days ago, in a penniless
condition, and has since been domiciled
in the Belmont pump house at the foot
Of Twenty-sixth street, has at last been
attended to, in way at least.
The family consistso Of Thomas Scott,
his wife, q daughter OF about fifteen who
is married, three smaller children and
an idiotic looking brother OF Mrs. Scott.
For several days they have lived on the
ground floor OF the pump house with no
Conveniences. II is doubtful that any
OF them have had personal acquain-
lance with soap and water in that time,
and as a consequence all are in an ex-
tremely dirty condition.
Yesterday, through the efforts OF sew
eral OF the Belmont employees, includ-
ing Milt. Parker, rooms in the Sharks
row in the Eighth ward near the Ohio
River railroad shops, were secured for
the destitute family, and during the
afternoon their effects, not many, were
packed into one OF the little iron Stag
cars, and the entire family including
the two boys were put in another. The
train with its pitiful looking load then
went on down to their new homo.
County Commissioner Irwin, OF
Webster district, arrived on the scene
Just before the train moved away. He
made an investigation and agreed to
send down a quantity OF groceries to
the SCOTS this morning.

THE BEHRING SEA CASE.
Sir Charles Russell Continues His Argu
ment Before the Commission.

Sir Charles Russell Continues HIS Argu-
ment Before the Commission.
PARIS. MAY 24-Sir Charles Russell con.
tinued mis- argument in behalf OF the Brit
ish case to-day, before the Behring Sea
tribunal of arbitration.
Sir Charles reproached Mr.. Carter, OF
American counsel, with having argued on
metaphysics and ethics instead OF law, and
he refuted the contention that killing
female seals was wrong. No law. Sir
Charles said, supported such contention.
Mr.. Carter here again objected TO the
version OF his arguments used by Sir
Charles Russell for the purpose OF quota
ton. A warm passage of words ensued be-
tween Mr.. Carter and Sir Charles Russell
The letter then proceeded to argue that
Mr.. Carter's contention that 1t was the
duty of the United States 10 preserve the
seals for mankind and TO appropriate the
usufruct was only Of academic interest.
Sir Charles Russell went into minute
ANALYSIS of the law Of France, of England
and OF the United States respecting prop
erty in wild animals. TO prove that the law
could not be invoked in support OF the
American claim to property in the seals.
The onus lay on the United States, Sir
Charles declared, TO prove thas interna-
tlonal law laid down the principle that
were agreed TO accept seals from the COM
mon right TO take from the sea whatever
was found in the sea.
The United States have not proved, Sir
Charles Russell contended, that pelagic
sealing or even the slaughter OF gravid
female seals, was an offense against inter-
national law.
MIR. Carter challenged Sir Charles Rus
sell to show when the United States gov
erument had vouched for Prof. Elliott
formerly American Treasury Agent for
Privyloff Islands) as the sole elauthoritY on
seal life.
In response TO this challenge Sir Charles
quoted from letters written by Mr.. Baysrd.
Mr.. Blaine and Charles j. Con, American
agent for the Prlbylof Islands, in which
Prof. Elliott is thus referred TO.
Sir Charles further submitted that the
appointment of Prof. Elliott as American
Commissioner, by special act OF Congress.
was further proof that the United States
Government considered him an authority

THE SUNDAY CLOSING QUESTION.
1t Is Still Held TO be In dispute
An Injunction Expected by the Local
Directory.

It Is still Held to be in Dispute
An Injunction Expected by the Local
Directory.
Wo.LD's FAIR GROUND, CHICAGO,
May 24.-The colors of Great Britain
were unusually prominent at the Worlds $
Fair to-day. and the British building
and those of Canada and India were
brillisntly decorated. "God Save the
Queen" was played in each OF the build
ings controlled by Her Majesty's sub
jects. and the day was given over 10
festivities by all loyal Britishers. 1t
was all in celebration OF Queen Victo-
ria's birthday.
Immediately after the national COM
mission assembled to-day Commissioner
Massey arose and rendered his
resignation as member OF the
Judiciary Committee. In giving
his reason for resigning Mr..
Massey said the commission had not
adopted single majority report OF any
Importance submitted to 1t by the COM
mittee since he had been q member.
The only logical conclusion was tnat
the commission lacked confidence In
the integrity and ability OF tho COM
mittee. AS chairman Of the committee
he felt bound to resign. He had not
acted hastily. He had considered the
matter carefully, and no amount OF per-
'suasion could induce him TO continue as
a member OF the committee. Commiss-
ioner Massey has taken leading part
in the fight to keep the gates closed
Sunday. A majority report from bis
committee last night in favor of Sunday
closing failed OF adoption by the Ma
tional Comm mittee.
The Sunday opening question was made
a special order for tomorrow.
The effect OF last nights action OF the
National Commission on the Sunday
opening matter Is In dispute. The
Commission, by vote Of 20 TO 2S re-
fused to modify the local Dlrectory's
rule for an open Sunday. The Sunday
openers claim that the local Directory
has the power to promulgste rules. and
the Commission has power to modify
such rules; and that, as the Commission
refused to modify the Directors Sunday
opening rule, the same stands and is
operative. Those opposed to Sunday
opening maintain that the Dlrectory's
rule is not operative unless approved by
the Commission.
As majority Of the local directory
favor Sunday opening, it is the general
opinion that they will take the commits
son's action for authority to open the
Fair next Sunday, unless the commits
sion takes some further action, or an
injunction against opening the gates on
Sunday is procured.
Attorney GenerafO Olney is known to
be In favor of enforcing the Congress
Sunday closing law, and it is said he
will instruct District Attorney Mitchey
to apply for an Injunction. District
Attorney Mitchey is out OF town.
People outside of Chicago are beginning
to realize that the great Worlds Columbi-
an Exposition is open and business at the
ticket Office is beginning TO boom.
Since the opening day almost three
quarters Of million of people have paid
for admission to the white City," and the
attendance appears TO be on steady in
crease

Tn. rheoaor. Thoma. Case Settled.

CHICAGO. May 24.-The Theodore Thorn
as question may be considered practically
settled. and as a result Mr.. Thomas will
remain in charge of his department with
his powers OF control somewhat curtailed
to satisfy the members Of the National
Commission who were clamoring for his
dismissal. The result was reached at
stormy meeting of the Board Of Reference
and Control held last evening. Commits
sioner ST. Clair offered a resolution which,
in effect, provided that it be reported that
Theodore Thomas is under the direction
and control of Director General Davis,
Just as Mr. Davis is under the authority of
the Commission, and the Council OF Ad-
ministration was by it instructed to look
after and fully protect the right Of exhib-
itors. This viii settle the matter, tempo
rarily at least.

Absolutely startling was the an
uouncement at one point In the pro-
Rramme that Mrs. Ida Tins Klocker, Of
