SEAL FISHING TO STOP.
Treaty Between Canada and the United
States is Fixed.

Ottawa, Ont. Feb. l7.-The terms Of
treaty between Canada and the United
States for the entire cessation OF pel-
agic sealing in the Pacific for term
OF not less than ten years were an.
nounced here last night The treaty was
negotiated by the British ambassador at
Washington
The agreement is conditional upon the
signing of similar agreements between
the United States Russia and Japan,
but ii Is understood that the govern
ments OF those two countries are now
ready to cooperate in the imperative
work of preventing the entire destrue-
tion Of the seal herds in the Pacific.
Efforts to secure an agreement among
the four powers have been in progress
for some years and the negotiations are
now within sight OF successful issue.
BY the terms Of the treaty made at
Washington, the United States govern
ment may still continue its present sys-
tenn of taking each year limited mum
Der Of seals from Pribylotf islands, Il
being held by experts that the killing
of limited number OF males each wear
is conducive to the better propagation
of the herd. To compensate Canada for
the withdrawal Of all sealing privileges
on the high seas, the dominion will be
given an equity based on percentage
of the total annual take from the Is
lands. It is believed that in the course
of few years Of absolute protection
for seals IN the north Pacific the herds
will again become as large as ever.

THE HOME THE UNIT
Of Educational, Moral and Religious
Forces.

Providence, R. T., Feb. l7-"A true
analysis of human society will prove the
home to be the unit of educational moral
and religious forces,p said Right Rev
James DeWolf Perry, the recently con.
secrated Protestant Episcopal bishop of
Rhode Island, in discussing Spiritual
Forces in the Home" last night before
the convention of the Religious Edu-
cation association.
THE school and church, said he have
indeed the ultimate responsibility for the
development of the mind and will, but
the material on which they have to work
is determined by the family. Personal
character and the capacity for spiritual
life are quantities to be reckoned with
primarily in the home Faults of intern.
perance, impurity and ignorance arise
from domestic conditions before they
have their effect upon individual life.
Particularly is the responsibility OF
the family for the individual true in
the exercise of religion. If the habit
of worship is declining, the reason il
to be found in the home. The father
is divinely ordained to be his children's
priest. Nowhere can the presence OF God
be so safely taught without fear of in
as between the members OF
family. Only by the cultivation OF flial
the restoration of family prayer,
and Christian education in the home, can
the American nation regain the lost in
stinet of reverence

said that Williams was practically dy-
ing but that his mental condition was
perfectly clear. Williams made the
statement that he expected to die soon
Williams made full statement as to
being stabbed, and notes were taken by
Judge Conlin. This is the ante mortem
statement on which the state is ap-
parently relying to q greater o. less ex.
tent for IFS case The statement has
not been made public.
At this point the jury was taken out
and the examination Of the witness d
to Williams dying statement continued.
On the cross examination DR.. Burdiek
said that Williams was suffering d great
deal but that would not be likely to
affect his mental condition. Williams
told the witness that he had been told
that he could not live. DIR. Burdick said
be told Williams that he wanted the
latter's statement 20 be used in court
against Cooper.
Judge Henry Conlin was called to the
stand. He said that Williams told him
he was going TO die on the night that
the antemortem statement was taken.
Williams repeated the statement two
or three times and seemed to be diving.
although his mind seemed clear. He
heard Dir. Burdiek tell Williams that the
declaration was for use against Cooper.
Williams did not talk unless questions
We're put to him.

dent at the university Of Vermont, was
next called. He testified that he was
for some time employed at the Fanny
Allen hospital and that he was there
and in the room when Williams made
his statement When the states at.
tofney and his party came he had them
wait until some one told Williams that
he was going to die. Sister st. Au-
gustine did this and when Jones went
into the room later Williams said. Il
may live, but | don't think so. the SIS
ter has told me / am going to die. /"
At LEO o'clock Of the morning follow
ing the declaration, which was taken at
about ten o'clock Williams was deli
Tious.
Sister st, Augustine OF the hospital
was called and her testimony was taken
in the private rooms of the court. She
testified that she told Williams he had
to die, and that he was delirious that
night. Her testimony did not tend to
establish whether or not he was de-
lirious before the declaration was made.
