hesitating. he was threatened with prose-
cution for perjury. Judge Romano, on
continuing his interrogatory. said he had
gained the conviction OF all the ffty per.
sons gathered at the Ida Tavern banquet
in Bagnoli May 90. 1903. when the death
Of Cuoccolo was decided upon. and added
that all the members Of the Camorra
were equally guilty. The judge denied
that he had had Abbatemaggio. the in
former, handcuffed and brought into the
presence Of Jacovitti. the coachman or
Enrico Alfano. the alleged head OF the
Camorra, for the purpose Of impress1ng
Jacovitti and forcing him to TESTIFY

change OF insults between Abhatemaggio

Invading Breeding Grounds.

- Prof. Elliott then read from his report
to Secretary Window, declaring that the
lessees. in their desperate driving to get
their quota. began July IL to kill female
seals, and invaded the breeding grounds
for that purpose" After he found that
several cows in milk had been clubbed
to death Prof. Elliott called in Agent
Goff, so he told the committee today,
and induced the latter to write to the
general manager of the lessees to the
effect that the killing of seals must stop

In view OF the diplomatic negotia-
pending, Prof Elliott says he recon-
mended that the case be not prosecut-
ed. But the lessees were put off the
islands and reimbursed to the extent OF
the price of the plant they had pur-
chased with whick. TO conduct their
business.
But the very next year, Prof. Elliott
said, the lessees secured, secretly, au-
thorization to kill 6O.OO0 seals in that sea-
son. This led him to publish the facts,
and caused President Benjamin Harrison
TO revoke the permit to this effect issued
by Secretary Of State John W.. Foster.

Advocates Closed Season.


The only way to save the remainder of
the once great seal herd of the Pribilof
Islands from extinction is to institute and
maintain a closed season for fifteen
years, is the opinion of Prof. Elliott
conceded to be an authority on the sub
ject. expressed before the committee yes
terday.
Prof Elliott told the committee that he
believed there were less than 10000
breeding female seals in the Privilof
Islands at present. The closed season of
fifteen years suggested by him would, in
his opinion, permit the herd In that time
to increase to about a million.
When the committee met at 1890 O'Clock
Prof. Elliott resumed his testimony He
explained how he happened to visit the
fur seal islands of Alaska in 1890 and
what he found up there.
Condition in 1899.
I'm 1884, said Prof. Elliott, 1.-The lease
of the Alaska Commercial Company,
which then enjoyed the killing privilege,
was about to expire. And it became the
duty OF the. then Secretary of the Treas
ury. William Window. to have prepared
the necessary papers inviting bids for the
new lease.
Zone of the government agents on the
fur seal islands. one Goff, brother of
Judge Nathan Goff of West Virginia, had
reported that it would be impossible to re-
new the lease giving permission for the
killing of CO.O0O seals annually, because
the seals simply were not there"
Secretary Window was troubled about
the condition of the seal herd, and. send
ing for Prof Elliott, asked him If he
would visit the islands as special agent
of the Treasury Department.
Prof. Elliott told the committee that he
objected to taking the place of any one OF
the four regular government agents in
charge Of the seal herd, and finally, he
said, he was made a special commissioner
by virtue OF a special act passed by
Congress.
So Prof. Elliott, according to his tes-
timony, landed on the seal islands in
May, 1880, and finished his work in
September of that year. When he re-
turned to Washington he went straight
from the station to Mr.. WINDOWS home

out of the latter's attitude toward the
seal-killing problem.
What were your relations with Mr..
Hay?" Mr. Townsend inquired.
Pleasant and condential' Prof. Ell
l1iott replied. HE was the one bright
spot in all this miserable business
Government Loses Money.
At the suggestion of Chairman Roth
| ermel Prof Elliott then discussed the
question of the amount of money re-
ceived by the government for sealskins
and the amount expended In preventing
poaching and In policing the islands.
The witness declared absurd the state
ment that the government made any
money out Of the seal herd. and figured
cut that more than 100000 was expended
annually in maintaining revenue cutters,
special agents and the like in the neigh
borhood of the Pribilof Islands, while in
1910. for instance, $432, 200 was all that
was received from the sale OF skins.
He added that of the seal skins sold In
London to make that total 5000 were the
skins of yearlings that were certified by
the government agents as two-year-olds.
The official records Of the bureau Of
fisheries itself, Prof. Elliott said, showed
that these 5000 we've yearlings

were less than 2O.00O breeding females
at present, he thought. but a closed sea-
son for the period would, ne believed, re-
suit in the herd increasing to about a

Even in ten years he was sure there
would be 100000 breeding females on

CLOSED SEASON UNNECESSARY

Pribilof Island Herd Unless In

CLOSED SEASON UNNECESSARY

United States Fish Commissioner George
VI. Bowers was a witness today before
the House committee OH expenditures in
the Department of Commerce and Labor,
which is holding hearings on the resolu-
ton introduced by Representative Town
send of New Jersey, proposing that an
investigation by a committee of Con-
gress of the charge that the seal herd
OF the Pribilof Island In Alaska is in
danger OF extinction as a result of illegal
killing.
Mr.. Bowers was asked If he was in
favor Of stopping the killing Of seals
on the Island, In line with the suggestion
made yesterday before the committee by
Prof. Henry w. Elliott OF Cleveland.
Ohio. that a closed season for fifteen
years would result in the restoration OF
the herd to its original vast numbers.
Mr.. Bowers replied that he was not in
favor of stopping the land killing unless
an International agreement could be
reached to prevent pelasic feeding.
He asserted with emphasis that the
government agents did not permit the
killing of female seal, and that he
personally would demand the imniedi-
ate discharge of any government agent
who knowingly permitted the killing of
a breeding female.
Commissioner Bowers added that
everybody but Prof Elliott was of the
opinion that with the cessation of
pelagic feeding the herd would increase.
Commissioner Bowers read into the
record regulations of the bureau of
fisheries for several years, with the at
tempt at showing that the bureau strict
ly provided against the killing of
female seals and of males less than Il
year old.
