INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 2S-The long
drawn out trials of the many men
indicted for completely in the various
dynamite episodes that have afflicted
the country during the past few
years. came to an end this morning
in such a way as will give the de-
tenders of the indicted a great shock.
The jury this morning returned
verdict of guilty against thirty-eight
of the accused men, on fifty-twO
counts. Among the number who
have been caught in the net are
Ryan, Clancy, Tveitmoe and Hooking.
They will be punished by imprison-
ment. The guilty counts were in adj
dition to those which charged the de-
PENDANTS with unlawfully transport
ing dynamite. The jury was out
forty hours and twenty-five minutes.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S-Dr Jor-
don, in a report to the bureau of fish
cries strongly urges that efforts be
made to induce Congress 70 repeal the
clause in the seal act 50 as to re-
move the five-year restriction upon
the killing of male seals on thu Pribi-
lof islands. 1t. is set forth also that
unless the agreement reached with
Japan and Great Britain for the pro-
lection of the seal herds in tie North
Pacific is to fail of realization, and
the seal treaty, perhaps itself be lost,
it will be necessary for Congress dur
ing the present session to amend the
clause referred to.
This view has also been taken by
the administration, based on several
urgent communications to the United
States, the latest received the other
day from Japan. This communica-
ton pointed out that the existing
legislation amounts to a practical re-
pudiation of that part of the treaty
which guaranteed to the Japanese
and British governments a fair return
from the seals that might safely be
killed on the American seal islands,
in lieu of those taken by pelagic
sealers.
The seal herd almost has doubled
in number under one year of suspen-
sion of killing, and it is the opinion
of the state department experts that,
so far from this being necessary to
prevent the further taking of due
proportion of skins, some thinning
out of males of the herds is absolute
ly necessary to prevent it's deteriora-
ton. Therefore, it is expected the
president will make another effort to
induce Congress to amend the exist
ing seal act so as to insure fair treat
ment for the Japanese and British
governments.
