ALASKA SEAL CAUSE SCANDAL
High Government Officials of Form CT Administration and Business
 Men Are Involved.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19--The com mitte on expenditures of the House
 of Representative today reported that former Secretary Nagel. of the
 Department of Commerce and Labor in the Taft cabinet, had winked at the terrible destruction of the seals on the Islands of St. Paul and St.
 Peter, Alaska, and that many high
 government officials of the former ad ministration, and the officers of the
 North American Comn1ercial Con-
 pany had grafted thousands of dol
 lars from the government by taking
 more seal than they reported and by ! slaughtering the herds, male and fe-
 male young and old. in order to clean up as much as possible on the con-
 tract held by the company with the
 government for the taking of the seal.
 The charges are so sensational and
 the men involved holding high posi- tions in social business and political life, that they have caused much l comment.
 i It is expected that criminal pros
 ecutions will follow the report and 1 that the Department of Justice will secure the evidence upon which the
 charges are made and secure indict-
