Was In the Pay Of a Seal.
Company.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Sensational
charges against Herbert H. d.
Peirce, United States minister to Nor
way, who was formerly third assist
and secretary of state. were made
before the house committee on ways
and means Monday by Prof. H. w.
Elliott of Cleveland, O., in connection
with a hearing on resolution for
the further protection Of fur seals on
the high seas
Prof. Elliott stated that while Mr..
PIERCE was representing the United
States government before The Hague
tribunal in the settlement Of claims
growing out OF the seizure Of the
sealing vessel J. Hamilton Lewis by
the Russian government on the
Charge or pray, he also represented
the owners of the vessel and even
iastituted eci n n the United States
d @tr.ct court for he district of CO.
luml Ia 70 insure The payment Of his
fee # the ney awarded to the
vesse owners.
Cpl ,svA.atives Champ Clark and
Ichn Sharp williams questioned Mr..
Elliot carefully about the charge, and
said that 1t reflected so seriously
upon the administration that 1t must
be looked into carefully.
The chief purpose Of Prof. Elliott
in appearing before the committee
he explained, was to have the United
States annul the lease Of the sealing
privileges on the Pribilof Islands
which 1t has granted to the North
America Commercial company. He
stated that the officers Of the COM
pany periured themselves when they
obtained the lease, as they swore
they were not engaged in pelagic
sealing. in spite Of this oath, he
says, they equipped the J. Hamilton
Lewis, in command Of Capt. Alexan-
der McClain, which PROF.. Elliott al
ieges was rightfully seized by the
Russian government. The seizure
vas in 1901, aud Mr.. Elliott made
the statement that Mr.. Pierce's 40
tivIty in collecting a fee from the
vessels owners was in 1908.
Mr.. Elliott told the committee that
when he appeared before It two years
ago he was acting as the conflden'
tiaI agent Of Secretary Of State Hay
He said that at that time he had been
promised by Frank H. Hitchcock Of
the department Of Commerce and
Labor, now first assistant postmas
ter general, that the regulations pro
hibIting peIagic sealing would be en-
forced. Mr.. Elliott inslnuated that
because Of Mr.. Hitchcock's failure "a
make good HIS promise be was re
moved from the department Of Com
merce and Labor.

Elliott -in place OF the legislation

Mr.. Hitchcock would be removed. H

STATE SUES A RAILROAD
Illinois Has Commenced Suit Against
Illinois Central.
An Accounting 10 Desired to Ascertain
Amount Of Tax Due-iias Exceed.
cd lts Charter Rights.

Springfield, Ill.,, Jan. 1.-THE sui
Of Illinois against the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad will DO filed in the su
preme court Monday or Tuesday
Preparations were completed Sunday
night by the attorney generals Of
flee. The court will be asked to order
an accounting. The state cannot as
certain, by reason Of the complicated
records Of the road, Just how much
back taxes to claim, but this will be
settled during the litigation.
The states bill of complaint, which
comprises 1856 printed pages, declares
that according TO the Illinois Central
charter only one main line and two
branches were authorized construct
ed. The main line from Cairo 10 La
sale; one branch from Lasalle to
Dunleith and the other from Contra
liza to Chicago. To aid the project,
the state gave the company 1856, 900
acres Of land.
Notwithstanding this restriction,
says the petition, the company In
1877 began to acquire and build other
lines with the object Of forming a
great system. A list Of about fifty
such branches is given. The addi'
lions to the charter lines are also said
to include the Carlo and Dubuque
bridges.
The company Is required to pay the
state five per cent Of its charter line,
gross receipts, and must supply the
state auditor with an annual statement
of all its property for the purpose of
taxation. The taxes and the five per
cent must equal at least seven per
cent Of the company's gross receipts.
From 1859 to 1896, says the petition
the company refused to list with the
auditor its stock, property and assets
for the purpose of state taxation, and
refused to pay into the treasury an
amount equal to at least seven per
cent Of the gross receipts or income
derived from the charter lines.
The company is charged with fall
ing to credit the charter lines with
their proportion of the entire systems
earnings.
Since 1877 the company has pre-
scented false statements to the cover
nor, says the bill, and has refused the
governor permission to examine the
roads books to ascertain the true
condition Of affairs.
The bill asks that the road be
compelled to make a full accounting
Of its gross proceeds, receipts and in
come.
