 Many Officials.

Washington, March S0.-Senator For aker to-day obtained leave to with draw from the senate files a paper in troduced by him on Wednesday last and printed as a public document, and the order to-day carried with it the suppression of all the printed copies of the paper,
 The sensa tional character of the doc ument would still he unknown had it not been for the fact that several copies we're given out before it was sup pressed.
 The paper was prepared by Henry w. Elliott, of Lakewood, Ohio, and pur- ported to be the official record of the loot and ruin of the fur seal herd of Alaska
 II was stated in chronological order, beginning with 1868 and continuing to the present time. It was written in longhand. closely spaced and difficult to read, Professor Elliott had submit ted records of pelagic sealing several times and they had always been print ed as public documents. Therefore when Senator Foraker was asked to have the alleged official record" printed. he made the request In the usual form, and did not take the trou- ble to read 1t. To-day he made apolo- gles to Vice e-President Fairbanks and 1 several senators.
 The paper was found to reflect up on the integrity of the presiding off cer of the senate and upon members of the senate and house and other government officials It transgressed one of the established though unwrit- ten rules of both houses of congress and caused sensation of no small magnitude
 Passing over thirty years of the Of ficial record" Prof. Elliott dealt with the work of the Anglo American high ! joint commission in connection with the sealing question and told of an argument made by Mir Fairbanks ir opposition to a sealing bill before the senate committee on foreign relations | in 1902 03, when he was member oi the committee. This paragraph Is | taken. from the report:
 "Mr Elliott secured on Feb. 2, 1903 1 the passage of the bill in the house, but on February t7. in the senate for. eign relation committee, Senator Fair banks deliberately tells the committed that this bill is not needed; that tht fur-seal question has been all agreed upon in the high joint commission: ht assures the committee that the recon vention of the commission Is to talk place soon after March 4, 1903.

Amos w. Butler Appeared Be-
fore County Commissioners
And Made Recommended
tions as to Local Situation.
FAVORS JUVENILE WARD
AT HOME OF FRIENDLESS
He Said That Young Criminals
Should Not Be Required to
Associate With Their Hard
ened Elder Brothers.

In order to do away with unsatisfac-
.0ry conditions that now exist in ref
erence to the care of the insane and
Gvenile Offenders in Wayne county,
AMOS w. Butler, secretary Of the In
llama State Board of Charities, today
appeared before the county commits
siOners and the Wayne County Board
of Charities and made recommends
tions that he believes will remedy the
situation. His views are endorsed by
the charity board and it will now be
necessary to approach the county
council to see If an appropriation can
be secured TO carry out the changes
proposed.
Mr.. Butler made two recomenda.
tons. one that ward for the care of
the insane from the time they are de-
clared insane until they are admitted
to EaSthayen, be provided in connec.
ton with the county infrmary near
Centerville, and another that a new
wing be built at the Home for Friend
less Women in which Juvenile offend
erS can be confined and kept away
from hardened criminals in the county
Jail. Mr.. Butler does not think it
necessary to build a new jail but
holds that the present structure can
be used for the usual purposes of a
TAIL. It is certain no new Jail will be
built as to do so would require a bond
issue. and the county council is op-
posed to this.
Sheriff Meredith does not agree
with the views of Mr.. Butler and the
charity board, but believes the insane
should be kept under the direction of
the sheriff as he will be constantly
called upon TO assist in their care, and
having them held at the infirmary
would be an awkward ARRANGEMENT.
He believes the sheriff is chiefly re.
sponsible for the insane and that
they should be put directly under his
charge or else taken entirely from it
