SEALING REGULATIONS
ANNOY PEOPLE LIVING NEAR
THE BORDER
Sealskin Caps Of Men and Coats of
Women Raked in by Customs
Officials
Post.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Jan. 10.-
The United States customs officers sta
toned at both bridges have been noti-
fled to seize anything that looked like
sealskins.
Nearly all on the Canadian side were
notified to leave their sacks, gloves and
caps there if they did not want them
confiscated.
The situation at Niagara Falls is prob
ably different from that at any other
point on the frontier Both sides Of the
river are thickly settled and the Cana
dian and American population go back
and forth daily. On the Canadian side,
back of the high bluff. a number of
wealthy American families have coun-
try seats and d great many of the wo-
men in these families, as we'll as Cana
dian women who wear sealskin coats,
pass over the river to the American side
daily while out driving and making
calls.
Several sealskin hats of Canadians
were seized belonging to gentlemen en-
gagged on business to Buffalo and New
York and many man went On to his
destination wearing a little travelling
cap, after having left his name and
something by which he could identify
his conf1scated headgear.
The law also affects the Canadian
railroads running from Chicago east
ward. These include the Michigan Cen
trail, the Grand Trunk, the Canadian
Pacific, the Wabash and the Lehigh
Valley.
The sealskin garments taken from
their wearers are turned over to the ap-
praisers at custom houses. where the
owner. after filing an application, must
wait until notice has been sent to the
Secretary Of the Treasury for a de-
cision In the matter.

AFTER TWENTY YEARS
Old Man Tullis' Murderer Located II
Idaho

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 10.-Sheriff F. T..
Johnson Is in receipt of telegram to
the effect that Tom Lawton. one OF the
gang that murdered old man Tullis In
1875 has been in Idaho and can be ar
rested as soon as requisition papers are
received.
I,awton is the third of the gang of
TulIis' murderers, of which Troy Dye.
the public administrator, and Edward
Anderson, both of whom were hanged
for the crime, were the other two.
In their confessions Dye and Anderson
implicated Lawton, but Lawton skipped
and the officers were never able to To-
cate him. 1t is believed that there will
be great difficulty in convicting Lawton,
even If he is found, as the crime was
committed nearly twenty years ago
and the evidence that could be mar
shaled against him at this time is very
meager.

Department in this city. Following is an

II wrote to you shortly after arriving
here. We were then located at the general
field hospital. in charge of Major Robin

ent field hospitals have combined and
have taken possession of the hospital which
was until recently occupied by the sick

of the many reports to the contrary we

The civil-service commissioners, unable to
control the emergency appointment of
clerks prior to and during the war, are now
trying to get the best of the situation by
preventing the payment of further salaries
to such irregularly named appointees. The
opinion in the matter, the auditors of the
departments affected have been asked to
refuse salary payments, and cases are be-
ing made up for the controller of the treas
ury, the court of last resort, to pass upon.
Civil-service Commissioner Brewer has
given an opinion that the commission has
no power to punish the Ohio politicians who
have taken rooms here and sent circulars
inviting Ohio clerks in the departments TO
contribute money to the Republican cam
paign fund in that State. The jealous So
licitors are not in the government service,
he says, and they cannot be reached. Clerks
from several States have been called on this
year for voluntary contributions, but If
the truth must be told, they have not re-
sponded with alacrty.
