Supt. Stump Explains That the Ger
man Girl May Now Come Into America
Superintendent Stump Of the immigration
bureau today was shown a dispatch from
Chicago giving the particulars Of the de-
tentlon at Ellis Island, N. Y, by DR.. Sem
ner, of Louisa Hensinger, lately arrived at
that port from Germany. Mr.. Stump said
that in all probability the girl would be per-
mitted to land, inasmuch as bonds had been
filed with the Secretary Of the Treasury
guaranteeing that she would not become a
public charge. 1t is the rule Of the service
that girls in the condition Miss Hensinger
was found to be should be refused landing,
but the circumstances In this case are ex-
ceptional, and such as to admit her being
landed. It appears from the record In the
case that Miss Hensingers sister also
brought over with her the young daughter
of a parent now confined in prison in Ger
many, to be adopted by resident of Chi
cago, and Secretary Carlisle's original deci-
sion debarring Miss Hensinger from landing
was on the supposition that this young girl
was also Miss Hensinger's daughter.

PlTTSBURG, Pa. October 26-The dis

long-continued assaults mads upon their
credit and character and have determined to
do some fighting themselves. 1t has been
pretty well established that there is-no law

tackled unless they default, and probably not
then. Manager Dudgeon Of the Traders
Syndicate and Manager Devlin of the Amer

Virginia, but with headquarters at Chicago,
have combined their forces. They will de-
mand the appointment of a committee by
the chamber of commerce to go to Chicago

Gates, the latter paying all expenses They
deny the truth of the statements of George
A. Kelly, president of the chamber, that
they are operating "blind'' pools, and insist
that he prove the courage of his convictions
by serving on the investigating committee
They claim that they will show their opera
uons are legitimate and then they will take
legal action against all persons who have
criticised them and thereby caused the re-
cent run upon them.
Other discretionary pool managers are ex-
pected to join the fight against the chamber

FavOrs Mr.. Robert Beall.
The various candidates for appointment
as postmaster of Washington have been
considerably exercised for the past day or
two over the more or less authoritative an
nouncement that Secretary Daniel Lamont
had a personal friend for whom he de-
sired the position. Rumor had it down to
a nicely that this fortunate gentleman was
Mr.. Robert Beall, the avenue bookseller,
whose name has been mentioned prominent
ly in connection with the postmastership
for several weeks past, and the statement
was made in several quarters where Dis
trlct democrats mostly congregate that Mr.
Lamont intended to use all his well-known
powerful influence with the President in
order to have the appointment made in ac-
cordance with his wishes. Mr. Beall has
nothing to say on the subject, and the
other candidates are likewise silent when it
comes to confiding their hopes and fears
to newspaper men. The most they will do
Is to express qualification at Postmaster
General Bissel's announcement that the case
would soon be disposed Of. Mr. Beall is
popular citizen who has hosts of friends
who would rejoice in his appointment.

MORE TROUBLE. ABOUT SEALS.
Complaints That the PelaEic Huntera
Are Killing the Mothers.


Mr.. ]. Stanley Brown, the representative
of the North American Commercial Com
pany on the Pribyloff Islands, was at the
Treasury Department today. The expert
fences Of the last season, in his opinion.
have fully demonstrated the inadequacy Of
the present precautions to prevent the total
destruction Of the seal herds In the Bering
sea. While the Commercial Company was
restricted to taking only male skins. the
pelagic hunters outside the prohibited zone

with the result that, Of a very large catch.
fully 30 per cent were females that had
left helpless pups on the islands. In Mr..
Browns opinion both the United States and
England cannot fail to realize that the
present arrangement IL a failure and that
q new agreement must be entered into at
once to protect seal life on the high seas.
Mr.. Brown thought that the agreement
with the Commercial Company need not be
interfered with. from the fact that the
young males, whose skins are the most
valuable. congregate on parts Of the islands
entirely separated from the rookeries.
