HUNTING THE WARY SEAL.
Must Be Killed Instantly Before Hs
 Can Culver q Flipper.

Wu1g o0 Nub0O IUoSAUkIy o0b0Vo "
 Can Culver a FIipper.
 "The seals were lying on top of the ice, basking in the sun. You see them here and there like small black dots sprinkled over the vast whiteness of the ocean. Each is lying beside a hole through which he has all winter been getting his supply of fresh air, which he has kept open all winter by continual gnawing, and which he has now en- larged from the two inches that were necessary to give air space to his nostrils in winter to perhaps 8 foot and a half in diameter, so that he can haul himself on top of the ice," says V. Steffansson in Har- per's Magazine, writing of a seal hunt. ''He is living on d slippery incline beside this hole, and the least twitch of his body will slide him into the water. He must there fore be approached and killed be- fore he has suspicion of danger, and he must be killed instantly, for the quiver of flipper would be almost as effective as the most energetic movement in sliding his body into the water.
 "Some arctic explorers of experi- ence have said that a white man may learn to kill caribou as well as an Eskimo, but no white man can ever learn to hunt the seals that bask on the level sea ice. In my e1- perience this is so far from being true that find hunting seals, while it may be a disagreeable job, to be an exceedingly simple one.
 ''The whole secret is that you must play seal. It is hopeless to at- tempt approaching unseen, 50 your care must be that whenever he sees you he shall think you, too, are seal. Your manner of locomotion must therefore be that of seal, which differs but slightly from that of snake. In other words, it is an unpleasant bit of work to crawl 300 yards seal fashion over the sum- mer ice, covered as it is with pud- dles of water anywhere from two to ten or fifteen inches deep.
 "The nature of the animal is that he sleeps for thirty, forty, fifty or seventy-five seconds at time with his head lying fiat on the ice. Then he wakes up and stays awake from five to fifteen seconds, raises his head about twelve or fifteen inches above the level of the ice and sur vcys complete circle of the horizon. then drops his head on the ice and goes to sleep again. The eyesight of the seals seems even less keen than that of caribou, so you can walk unconcernedly to within two hundred and fifty or three hundred yards, according to the light.
 "Then you have to commence playing seal. When he sleeps you wriggle ahead, when he wakes you lie still. He must never see you in any other than a prone position, so it is entirely unsafe to go on all fours even a few yards across a puddle, for if he catches you at it labor up to that point will be lost. He would instantly dive into his hole"

WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1913.
McNAR's MANLY COURAGE.

There is much more to this res ignation of United States Dis trict Attorney McNab of CalifOr- mia and his charges against At torney General McReynolds than the mere prosecution of the all legged white shaver and the alleg- cd coal trust combination, in which the delays ordered by the Department of Justice at Wash ington incensed McNab and caused him to resign. The ques- tions raised by McNab reflect upon the integrity of the Feder- al officials at Washington and charge that 'insidious" influen- ces are at work in high places to defeat tht ends of justice.
 Most attention, of course, will be directed to the charge made by McNab that undue influence is being used to protect the son of promincnt official from pros ecutiOn for violating the Federr- al law against white slavery. Two young men of prominent families were accused of criminal conduct under he provisions of the Mann white slave act. and the allegations in the complaint against them were of a particu- larly aggravated character. One of these young men was the son of a California state Senator, and, sa it developed, a political faV- Oritr of the administration, who has been recently appointed |" an important "ilrial position. As a matter of course this man and his companion are not to be con- demned out of hand and without trial: but he fact of their hein" charged with serious crime stands of record: and the state ment that they and their friends had boaStrd of their ability to secure a poStponemcnt of the prosecution through Inc authori- ties at Washington has not been denied. These were a serious combination of circumstances which made the order from the Department of Justice for the postpunement of the trial a ser- lous matter. The state .lenl from Secretary of Labor, Wilson, explaining how that or der for pnStponement came to be issued does not help he ckase-in fact. from the viewpoint of de- partmental culpability il hurts it.
 Attorney McNab strengthens his case by showing that the at tOrney for one. of :-~ young men has been indicted on a charge with tamprriny With the jury in the case. He says, what is fla miliar to everyone, that delay will probably result in driving the witnesses away and leave the ac- cused unwhipped of justice. President Wilson has promptly and properly directed that a spe- cial attorney be appointed to prosecute the case.
 It is more than probable that MT. McNah's resignation was nec- essary to the proper prosecution of the case, after all the excite Elent had neen raised by his quar- rel with his superiors at Wash ington, but he is certain he has performed a distinct public ser vice by his courageous and manly stand in favor of the vigorous prosecution of the accused men, regardless of their business, so- cihl or political standing. The pressing and most apparent need, if justice is to be done, is for a speedy trial of the accused on the serious charges made. The pro- posed postponement was unfor- tunete tn d has an ugly look.--ES.

WANTS CURRENCY LEGISLATION
President Desires Passage of Bill Be
fore the Adjournment of Session.

WASHINGTON, Nav 6. = President
Wilson again today expressed the hope
that members of Congress would come
to an early agreement on the details
of currency legislation so that bill
could be passed before adjournment of
the special session. The President told
his callers he expected the currency
committees of the House and Senate
to get together to formulte a measure,
and his own views would be transmit
ted through whatever means were final
ly agreed upon by them. The presi-
dent has no message in contemplation
on the subject as yet, but when a com
mon agreement is in sight among the
currency advocates he will call the at
tention of Congress in a brief message
to the necessity of prompt action. The
president hopes that if Congress takes
up the currency question at the extra
session it will do so with expedition
and get through a bill not later than
August. He is planning to visit the
Panama canal either in July or August

COLUMBUS. o., June 21.-Twelve
years a convict, George Try, serving
a life sentence for the killing of VIII
liam Johnson, celery king" of Wyan-
dotte County, was pardoned from the
penitentiary by Governor Cox.
Brought from his cell in prison uni
form, Try told the Governor a story
of the miscarriage of justice and how
innocent, he had been railroaded to
the penitentiary.
Masked Men Forced Door.
The crime for which Try, together
with, four others, was convicted, was
the elimination of a series Of murders
in Wyandotte County.
The murder occurred September II.
1900. Johnson, the victim, was an
aged truck farmer. Five masked men
forced the door of his farmhouse near
Carley at midnight. One of them car
ried a railroad lantern. With his
wife, three sons and daughter, John
son leaped from his bed. but was
shot down
From Mrs. Johnson and the oldest
boy they attempted to force disclos-
ure Of the place where Johnson was
supposed to have money hidden. They
got only few dollars. Johnson died.
The lantern left on the premises
remained as a clew. Five tramps were
arrested, but We're released.
Identification Positive.
The following February Charles and
Lock Foster, Mars Lindley and VIII
lis Miller. and. several days later
George Ury were arrested and in
dicted. Separated. each of the five
was masked and led before Mrs.
Johnson.
Although the lantern used on the
night of the murder had been dim,
Mrs Johnson positively identified the
five as those who had committed the
deed
Members of the pardon board say
the trial was a travesty. Try proved
a complete alibi showing that on the
night of the murder he had slept at
the home of farmer Despite this
TRY was convicted. Two convicts,
Ben Wade and Ben Lands, testified
Try had once approached them about
numbering Johnson for his money.
Other incrim.lating testimony was
trumped up, it is believed, TO allay
public feeling.
