TOO STRENUOUS IN
DEFENDING BROTHER

Police Justice Stein ruled, Monday
morning, that brotherly love did not
privilege two husky young Italians
20 administer a terrible beating to
another man who had drawn a re-
volver and leveled II at their brother,
so Joseph and Leo Decicco were each
fined $40 for assault and battery. At
torney Schiappacassee. for the de.
fendants, made an impassioned plea,
assuring the judge that he himself
would have taken similar action un-
der similar circumstances, but the
Judge muttered that he would be
willing to pay $40 for the privilege.
Every member of the household
seemed TO be very busy and no one
was paying any attention to 4-year-old
May. After searching in vain for some
one to entertain her, she said with a
sigh: "Oh, dear; | wish could find
somebody TO leave myself with"

Fairies In ireland.

That belief in fairies" still persists
IN many parts OF Ireland was shown
at the last meeting OF the Athlone
district council. when it was stated.
says report in the Times. that a
Iaborer named Kilduff had given I'm
possession OF an acre of land. which
mad been allotted to him under the
laborers acts. and upon which the
council proposed to build a cottage
for him, because he was "afraid OF
the fairies" The plot is at a place
called Lacken. and Kildur's objection
to 1t was that there is on 1t an old
fort or rath which would have to be-
removed. On no account would he in.
terfere with "the fairies home"
A former district councillor named
Gilleran now applied for the plot. up.
on which he said he would build a
cottage.
Mr.. Malone said that, at the local
government inquiry. Kildun stated
that the house in which he now lived
was so windy that 1t would give rheu.

The council decided to give the blot

land is in itself no small accomplishment for
airbreathing animals. The females. leaving
the Islands In November. go further south
than any other members Of the berd, and in
December appear OF southern California,
where they remain until March. They then
begin their long return journey. reaching the
islands early In June.
Within two days OF their arrival on the rook.
cries the cows give birth to their pups Not
until ten or twelve days have elapsed do they
return to the water or take any food. Then.
after washing and playing near the Islands.
they make their first long trip to the feeding
grounds. coming back to the rookeries after
three or four days. Thereafter throughout
the season the cows make regular feeding
trips at intervals Of five to ten days.
The seals subsist chiefly on squd but also
on herring. smet. salmon. pollock. and other
kinds Of fish. which are caught and eaten in
the water. They have prodgious appetites
and gorge themselves whenever the opportu-
nifty comes.
On the approach Of cold weather. the cows
and pups leave the islands together. Up to
that time the pups have subsisted solely on
milk. and they then have to learn to catch
their own food. consisting Of fish and squid.
Inasmuch as the natural mortality among the
pups In their first year Is fully so per cent. II
is evident that they experience many vicissi.
tudes In the tempestous to which they
commit themselves. The males follow shortly
after. but some remain about the islands
throughout the winter In mild seasons, and
the natives always depend on seals for food In
December and January.
Fur seals and hair seals have always been
regarded as legitimate objects Of exploitation.

property rights In herds Of seals have sane

leather, OIL food, etc.
Beginning in 1856 and continuing until the
sale Of Alaska. Russians were almost contin
uously engaged in killing fur seals on the
Pribilof Islands In the earlier years there was
a promscuous scramble among rival compa
nies, 30 that to maintain order and properly
regulate the taking of seals the government
was forced in 1899 to give the privilege to
single company, created by imperial decree
and having among its shareholders members
OF the imperial family and the nobility. This
association. known as the ussian-American
company enjoyed monopoly Of this business
as long as Russia had control Of Alaska. An
ukase issued by Alexander I In 1921 for the
regulation Of the company had as one OF its
features the prohibition Of foreign vessels
within 100 miles OF the Russian coasts and

pute with the United States and Great Britain.
resulting in the treaties Of 1924 and 1925.
which recognized Russias claim to Jurisdiction
over the whole Of Bering Sea- Okhotsk Sea.
and other water !nclosed by Russian territory.
From the outset the company placed ra-
tional limit on the number OF animals killed
each year. and In the light Of later experience
II is evident that the herd would have been
fully able to sustain the annual harvest OF
skins II these had been taken only from the
males. But males and females alike were
slaughtered in ignorance or disregard Of the
polygamous character Of the seals. and as
early as 1906 1t was necessary to suspend
operations for two years In order to permit
the herd to recurerate.
When killing was resumed. however. 1t was
along the same destructive lines. and the
mighty fur.seal host continued to dwindle un.
til by 1884 its numbers were reduced to one
fifteenth or one-twentieth of those present In
the first years after the discovery Of the
islands The suspension of all killing for
term OF years then ensued, and by the time
operations were resumed the company officials
had come to realize that the females should be
protected. and later the sacrifice OF old bulls
and young pups was stopped.
The result was remarkable recuperation
and increase In the herd that AFFORD q valid
basis for the belief that speedy recovery OF the
decimated herds Of Alaska. Russia, and japan
may follow the elimination Of the factor re-
sponsbe for their present condition, namely.
the indlscriminate killing Of males and females
at sea. When Russia ceded her jurisdiction
over Alaska, the Pribilof fur.seal herd had at.
talned n degree Of prosperity closely approach
Ing its condition at the time OF Its discovery,
and we thus came into possession of a re.
source but little impaired and had a knowl
edge Of its significant history to guide us in
its treatment.
II is cause for congratulation that no coun.
try has dealt with its seal life In a more intel
ligent, humane. and jealous manner than the
United States. and It was cruel fate that for
so many years rendered our efforts futile. The
only occasion when there was any laxity In
our administration of the seal islands was dur
ing the frst years of our possession. when the
government was still unOrganized anywhere in
the territory and various private companies
landed parties on the Pribilofs and took seal
skins without any government supervision or
restriction. II was in that year that tho larg.
est killing in the history of the islands was
made: the number Of skins obtained was prob
ably not less than 100000, and may have
reached $4,000: hYt this take was not indis'
