RUSSIA'S
POSITION
Concerning Protection of
Seal Herds
STRINGENT RULES ARE MADE
AND WARsH1Ps COMPEL THEIR
OBSERVANCE
STRINGENT RULES ARE MADE
If the Muscovite Program Prevails
the Fur Seal Herds Will Not
Be Destroyed
Associated Press Special Wire.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-Although
formal conferences on the Bering sea
question will not open until after the ar
rival of the Japanese delegates, yet the
presence here of two of the Russian
delegates has permitted the authorities
to inform themselves quite thoroughly
as to the attitude of Russia on protec-
tion of the seals. 1t has brought out
the fact that Russia takes an advanced
position in preserving the herds, and
has more stringent laws and regula-
tions in that direction than any Of the
other countries interested. BY the Rus
sian system zone Of thirty miles IL es-
tablished around the seal islands be-
longing to the empire. The seals found
within these zones are regarded as ex-
clusively Russian, and no other than
the inhabitants of the island can take q
seal within these limits. This gives the
Russian citizens exclusive rights over
the seals, not only on the islands. but
extending thirty miles seaward. A
British or Japanese sealer cannot op-
crate within the zone, except to buy
islands. The Russians themselves ara
permitted to kill only bachelor seals, II
being against strict regulations to kill
female or pup seals. The females are
guarded with special care, as killing one
female is regarded as equivalent to
killing three seals, namely the female
herself, her pup on land and her unborn
pup.
to-, 6n$
tions are enforced. A fleet of govern
ment ships patrols the thirty mile zone,
and any foreign sealer who attempts to
operate within these limits is seized. As
rule, these seized sealers are taken to
Vladivostock their catch confiscated.
and punishment inflicted. This has led
to many protests, but Russia has main
tanned thus far her rigid regulations
against foreigners within the thirty
mile zone In one notable case the ship
Dahlia, cleared by United States con-
sular officer, but manned by japanese
crew, attempted to take seals on the
Russian islands. They were met with
armed resistance, and several Of the
Japanese were killed. Claims for in
dennity were made against Russia. but
never paid, as the imperial authorities
maintained their right to protect their
property aginst invasion.
1t is understood to be the wish Of Rus
sia in the forthcoming conference not to
stop at the protective regulations al
ready made, but to carry them further
by increasing the width Of the zone con-
siderably beyond thirty miles The
Russian authorities have found by ex-
perience that many of the female seals
so more than thirty miles to sea In
search of food. The wish is to make the
zone so wide that it will extend to the
furthest point to which the females go
for food.

CANADIAN POLITICS
Minister Tarte Again Circumvents the
Enemv

MONTREAL, Que, Oct. 14.-In ac-
cordance with the verdict rendered by
the jury in the criminal libel case
brought by J. I. Tarte, minister of public
works, Judge Wortell today sentenced
w. A. Grenier, publisher of the Libre
Parole, to six months In prison.
The trial of this case has been in some
measure a contest between the great
political parties Of Canada. The Con-
servatives hoped to bring out damaging
facts enough against the Liberals dur
ing the trial to cause the downfall of the
latter party. Mr.. Tarte has been for
years a political organizer. At first he
was the mainstay in that direction Of the
Conservatives and then for some reason
he published number of letters which
compromised the Conservatives and
caused the celebrated McGreevy trial
which caused the retirement of Sir Hec-
tor Langevin, and the Imprisonment of
several members of parliament, and
gave the first blow to the party which
had then been in power for nearly seven
teen years. AS a reward for his services
to the Liberal party, it has been asserted,
he was made minister of public works
when Sir Wilfrid Laurier came into
power.

Attorney Phalen for the defense con-
cluded his address after speaking two
hours this morning and Judge Vincent
begap fervid address in behalf of the
defendant. The main point of his argu-
ment today was to raise in the minds of
the jury a doubt as to whether Mrs.
Luetgert is really dea6. He admitted
that she had disappeared, but insisted
that it had not besV. shown beyond al,
doubt that she was dead. Having
spent much time in trying to create the
doubt ir the minds of the jury, he in
sisted that there should be no halfway
measures in the verdict made. If
Luetgert was guilty of this crime he
deserved all that the law could mete
out to him, but If he was not guilty be-
yond all doubt he should be set free.
