division Of Alaska who as special agent
of the general land office was the original
Investigator OF the Cunningham coal

legality
He said that In his investigation OF
the claims the entrymen invariably de-

derstanding among them as to what
should be done with their land after en-
try and In his endeavor to get all the
information possible. favorable and un-
favorable TO them, he was never able TO
obtain evidence against their good faith,
He said the entrymen realized they could
not work their claims profitably as indi-
viduals, and hoped 70 be able to get to-
gether while they had a right to do so.
He said Secretary Ballinger. when com
missioner of the general land office, had
told him the sale OF any land to any cor

was contrary to his view OF the law. In

Ballinger as an attorney. for he said,
the better the lawyer the less he knows
about the land laws
Mr.. Love said from all the facts he

SENATE PASSES BILL
FOR PROTECTION OF SEALS

WASHINGTON. March 23.-The bill
terminating the present lease of the fur
seal killing on the islands of the Pacific
and authorizing the secretary of COM
merce and labor TO declare a closed sea
son on the islands was passed by the
senate today.
In presenting the bill from the commit
tee on conservation of natural resources.
Senator Dixon OF Nevada explained the
mandatory existing law requiring the
leasing of the sealing privilege and said
Immediate action was necessary because
of the fact that the lease expired next
month.
He said the herd had diminished from
$500 600 in 1867. when the United States
acquired the islands, 10 fewer than 100,
600 at the present time and that II was
the opinion of experts that unless the
seals were protected they would be ex-
terminated within two or three years.
On motion of Senator Root the bill was
so amended as 10 make the disposition OF
seal skins subject to any treaty govern :
ing the question which must be negotiated
in the future. While favoring Its passage,
Mr., Root contended that the cessation OF
pelagic sealing also was necessary TO the
preservation OF the seal herd.
A treaty is proceeding to this end and
Mr., Root expressed the opinion that It's
acceptance would prove necessary for the
adequate protection of the seals.
