SEAL ARBITRATION,
United States Contention Sustained on
ALI Material Points,

Reports from United States Minister New
ell, at The Hague, of the details of the ar
bitration Of the Russian seal cases. an
nounced last week, have reached Assistant
Secretary Peirce, who conducted the case
or the United States government, and they
make 1t appear that on all substantial
points the arbitrator sustained the United
States contention. Two important princi-
pies of International law were established
for all future guidance. The first was in
the case of the Cape Horn Pigeon, which
vessel was captured by a small Russian
schooner and sent into VIadivostok. The
Russian officer who made the seizure forced
some of the sailors of the Cape Horn Pigeon
to go aboard his schooner and navigate it
to port. The arbitrator laid down the prin-
ciple that no arresting officer can obltge
and he awarded the sum Of $3.50 to each of
the men so impressed. The second impor-
tant decision was that In calculating the
damages 1t was proper to regard the pros
pectfve catch which vessel might have
made had she not been seized. 1t is true
that in the distribution of the Geneva
award allowance was made to whalers for
the diversion of their ships from their
proper uses, and in some admiralty cases
involving collisions at sea allowance has
been made for service the damaged ship
might have performed, but it Is said at the
State Department that this Is the first spe-
ternational authority that prospective catch
Is allowable.
The only point where the United States
claim failed in principle was In the case of
the Kate and Anna, but that was never
strong case. The captain Of the ship had
been warned by Russian officer that he
must not take seal In Boring sea. He
made no attempt to exercise his rights, but
left the sea Immediately without making a
test case which would have established his
right

ANTITRUST LEGISLATION.
Chairman Hepburn Explains Objects
of His Bill.

'In my opinion" said Chairman Hepburn
of the House committee on Interstate and
foreign commerce to a Star reporter today,
"the law on the statute books regulating
trusts and interstate commerce Is sufficient
to cover the needs of the times, if it were
enforced. One reason why the law is not
enforced is the lack of practical means to
do it.
THE bill which 1 have introduced in the
House appropriatng 100000 to be placed
at the disposal of the Department of JUS
tice to aid in the enforcement Of the Sher-
man law Is designed to overcome a situa-
ton, which, I think, is easily remedfed. 1
want to equip the law officers of the gov
eminent with weapons to fight the trusts.
THE first move against the trust usually
Is made by the district attorney. Now not
always is he the ablest attorney before the
bar at which he practices. His salary Is
not large, his time is occupied with other
duties and he does not have the opportunity
or the means to secure testimony, nor the
leisure, perhaps, to prepare his brief.
His adVersaries. on the other hand, hay-
ing large financial interests at stake in the
case, do not hesitate to spend money in
the preparation of their defense and in the
procuring of testimony for their side They
Will employ not one but firm of the ablest
and most skIIlful lawyers in the state: thew
can employ staff of detectives to gather
testimony. In word, they will draw upon
their great resources in proportion to the
seriousness of the case. I,
The result too often is that the poor
district attorney. fighting single handed a
great corporation, is worsted in the case.
Then the cry is raised that the law is in
sufficient. 1t Is not that: it Is our Internally
nlggardly way of administering it,
the subcommittee to whom the trust bills
went Is composed of Messrs. Littlefeld,
Thomas Qowa) and Clayton (Ala) Mr..
Littlefield will call his subcommittee to-
gether Immediately to consider the bills, but

will be ready to report at the next meet

Not a Contract of Insurance.

The Commissioners have received from
Arthur H. OConnor, assistant corporation
counsel. an opinion on the point raised by
the insurance department as to whether or
not the Physicians Defense Company of
Fort Wayne. Ind. is subject to the insur-
ance laws of the District. The company
for certain sum. paid periodically. agrees
to defend the subscribing physicians in all
suits for damages brought against them
1t does not indemnify the physicians. how
ever, to the extent of paying any judg-
ments.
Mr.. O'Connor says
MY opinion is that this Is not contract
Of insurance, but a contract to perform per-
sonal services for the holder of the contract
when certain circumsta nces arise and is
not in any sense an indemnity or guarantee
against loss It, therefore does not come
under the supervision of the superintendent
of insurance"
