FILE PLEA In
TREATY CASE;
Bemidji Saloon Men Claim Issue
Is a Question of
Fact.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Assert-
ing that the question whether the
prohibition provision of the Chippewa
treatry Of 1855 is obsolete is one that
can only be determined by evidence
that should be taken in the district
court, counsel for the saloonkeepers
at Bemidji today filed an application
in the United States supreme court
for a rehearing in the Minnesota In
dian liquor cases.
held that the treaty of 1855 was not
repealed by subsequent treaties, and
that prohibition extended to all the
territory embraced in that treaty. The
liquor men expressly state that they
do not seek re-argument on this
question of law. Their request, how
ever, lis summed up as follows:
Plea of Liquor Men.
"Appellees most respectfully urge
upon the court that the present case
remains one of fact under the law as
now stated by the court, and with all
difference they ask that, instead of re-
versing the decision of the district
court and remanding the cause with
directions to dismiss the bill, the court
modify its judgment and remand the
cause with directions to the district
court to permit amendments, if neces-
sary, to the bill, and to hear evidence
with view to determining whether or
not the treaty provision of 1855, with
respect to the business of appellees in
the 80 saloonkeepers of Bemidji is
obsolete, and for such further proceed
, ings as may be necessary within the
views expressed in the opinion of the
court upon the points of law already
decided"

WHALES GOOD TO EAT
Message of Hope From North as
Meat Prices Soar.
American Consul at Vancouver De-
cIares Flesh of the Monster of Deep
Is Both PaIatabIe and Whole
some-Has "Nutty" Taste.

Philadelphia. = Housekeepers, take
comfort Just as the price of beef
is soaring skyward, and the cost of
high living is driving many to distrac-
ton, comes a message of hope that
whale is good eating, that there is an
unlimited supply in the ocean, and
that the monster of the deep is mar
ketable, and could be put up in cans
just like salmon or sardines.
The suggestion has official sanction.
1t comes from R. E. Mansfield, Amer
lean consul general at Vancouver,
British Columbia, in a report to the
state department. He asserts that
whale meat is both palatable and
healthful. The general use Of whale
meat, he says, would build up an
important industry. He suggests the
salmon canneries of the Pacific coast
might add the business Of canning
whale meat when the summer catch
of salmon has been canned.
William E. Mehan, former state fish
commissioner, and now director of the
aquarium in Paramount park, thinks
the suggestion, coming from such an
official source, ought to be practicable.
The Eskimos, Mr.. Meehan says, eat
whale meat and like it, and he him
self. when on the Peary relief expe-
dition in 1892, ate the skin of the nor
whal, a relative of the whale.
Il ate it out of curiosity" he said.
THE natives are very fond of it. l
ate it raw. 1t had rather a nutty
flavor.
There is lot of fish and so-called
fish that are edible. though not COM
monty known to the people, as food.
For instance, the dog shark, the skate,
and the ray. They are commonly
classed among fishes and are very good
eating. They are cold-blooded, but
are separated from true fishes because
they have cartilaginous skeleton in
stead of bony skeleton, which is one
of the features of true fish.
1.-The meat Of the skate and the ray
is as delicate as that of a founder,
especially the part commonly called
the wings. They have pretty good
sale now in New York and New Or
leans, particularly among the French
and the descendants of the French.
The meat of the sea robin also is very
good, but there is not very much of it.
There are lot of things that are
edible and that people are passing
by as no good But we will come to
eat them in time. Among the things
long thought worthless as food, but
are now considered fine, is sturgeon.
Thirty-five years ago the flesh of the
sturgeon was not believed to be fit to
eat by the majority of persons. The
only part they esteemed was the cav
lar, or eggs. Now smoked sturgeon
fish is regarded as a great delicacy,
and brings a very high price in the
market 1t sells for 80 cents a pound,
and even more at times.
Il see no reason why whale should
not be marketable. The Eskimos eat
it. 1t is not fish. Whales are mann
mails and warm blooded."
