FUR SEAL PLANS FOR
 PRIB|LOf ISLANDS
Recommendations Of Commission Of
 * Three Scientific Experts.

Washington, May 14.-Congressiona legislation to carry out recommenda : tions Of commission of three sci entific experts with a view to resump- ton of commercial killing of seals at the Pribilof Islands in the Bering sea will be recommended next winter by the secretary of commerce, William e. Redfield, according to present ex- pectations. The ultimate future of the Alaska seal herd has been vexed international problem for years.
 Canada and Japan, which are in terested financially in the American herd by the term of treaty which abolished pelagic sealing, made an in vestigation contemporaneously with the American experts. Both govern ments have made representations to the United States that the conditions of the seal herd warrants resuming sealing operations at once.
 The report of the three American experts, submitted to congress i'll its closing days and about to be pulp lished is by Wilfred H. Osgood. Ed ward A. Preble and George H. Par ker, selected by the National Aead- emy of Science: the Smithsonian In- stitution and the secretary of agri- culture at the instance of the secre- tary of commerce. These men in- yestigated conditions on the Pribilof Islands last summer.

just been completed, points out that the treaty effective December IS, 1911, between the United States, Great Brit ain, Japan and Russia, is essentially an agreement by which the foreign na- tions relinquish their right to take seals on the high seas in exchange for share in land sealing to De con- ducted by the United States. Great Britain and Japan paid large sums to retire their sealing fleets, obvious ly expecting to be reimbursed in the near future by their 1 5 per cent. share of land sealing The United States reserved the right to suspend land sealing if necessary to protect and preserve the seal herd and to increase it's number. This suspension occurred in 1912. The report contends that now, after three seasons without conl- mercial sealing, there is no necessity for continued suspension.

The report says the management of all the animals should be placed in charge of specially qualified officer and the management of the natives and the fiscal affairs under another officer, the former having senior rank That the Pribilof seal herd is not on the verge of extinction Is asserted, with the declaration that complete re- mobilization of the herd may be con- fldently expected in view of it's present size and condition.

KEEPS SCHOOLS OPEN
 DURING EP|D[M|CS
Attsalive Children Will Is Free
 From Supervision.

Doubt es to the wisdom of closing
 schools in epidemics of contagious
 disease is expressed by Dr. Francis
 George Curtis, of Newton, Mass, in 8 bulletin on the Health of School Children" just issued by the bureau
 of education. He says: If the
 schools are closed when a outbreak
 occurs, the children are turned loose
 from supervision; they mingle freely
 with one another in the streets. on
 playgrousds, and in each. others houses. They are having an extra
 vacation and enjoying themselves
 thoroughly and are unwilling to admit
 that they feel i'll, lest they be kept at
 home and prevented from having 2
 good time For this reason they Will
 not say they feel ill until the disease
 is we'll advanced, and they may be
 active sources of infection for some time before it is discovered that they
 are i'll.
 If the schools are kept open and the children continue in the class rooms as usual, they are under strict observation and examined daily by the
 school physician, suspicious and fli- fected cases being sent home for ol- fSerVatlOIls or LTedtmenC. @5
 ''In this way many children are sent home before they have had an oppor- tunity to infect others, thus reducins the probability of spreading infection. Further than this, the attention of the parents is called to the fact that the child is feeling i'll and he is brought under treatment earlier.
 f"It seems. therefore, that keeping the schools open offers the best chance of safety for the pupils, both collec- lively and individually.
 Instead of closing the schools and allowing the children to be scattered and removed from supervision, when an outbreak appears the schools should be kept open as usual and tho children urged to attend. The school physician and nurse should be de- tailed to the school where the out break has appeared and instructed to examine every child daily, excluding such as appear i'll or suspicious. This can be done with very little disturb ance of the school work A note must be sent to the parent stating that tho child seems. or is, i'll and must he seen by the family physician. Sus- picious cases must be ordered to re- main at home until further notice, and, if necessary, must be visited in order to settle the diagnosis. An sentees must be rounded up and ex- amIned in, order to find out why they been kept at home. If they are i'll, they must be isolated, and, if we'll. urged to return to school This, of course, applies to schools M cities in which school physicians. or nurses, or both are employed. R3s

Ice can be manufactured artificially and at a profit at scale 4f prices ranging from forty cents per 100 pounds in small quantities. to fifteen cents per hundredweight in carload lots.

the protection and growth of the herd would not be jeopardized in the slightest degree. The inference is clear that unless sealing is resume ed agitation will continue and integrity of most desirable treaty endan- gered.
 People Semi Civilized.
 The voluminous report states tha, the people of the Pribilof Islands, though not natives, have for so long made the islands their home that they recognize no other. They are a peo- pie still semi-civilized,' says the re- port. They constitute heritage ac quired by the United States with the islands and their valuable wild in- habitants and considerations of econ omy and humanity demand that they be accepted as such and managed with all possible wisdom and fair ness
 Many changes in the methods of dealing with the natives seem to be necessary In their management great deal will depend on the person .,lity of the officials in charge. It is believed that the work necessary to put the sealing plant on an efficient basis and the resumption in the near future of commercial sealing, accom- panied by better system of compen- sation and the opportunity of ex- changing the reward of their labor ac- cording to their desires, will help to make the natives self-respecting and the people may become an en- tirely self-supporting, efficient, happy community"
 Only Two Restrictions.
 There are good reasons, from both economy and welfare of the seal herd, to resume commercial sealing at once, the report concludes. There should be only two restrictions to practically guarantee growth and preservation of the herd. These are that females should not be killed for their skins or for food and that breeding bulls should be maintained in numbers sufficient to supply one to each forty bearing cows.

WANTS MORE PAY FOR
 W0RK-HOUSE INMATES
Karl SeareiDtr Recommends huniC.
 iDal Farms for Communities.

I Baltimore, Md.,- May 14.-BetteT ] pay for work -house prisoners was urged by Karl l.. Schreiber, superin- l tendent of the parole department of the board of public welfare in Kan l sas City, Mo-, in an address eleliv- cred yesterday at the National Con- 1, ference of Charities and Correction. In line with the moden purpose of imprisonment, which was largely to straighten out the attitude of tho criminal towards society and to in
 still him with desire to make
 good" when liberated, MT. Schreibor
 declared that the community which
 allowed it's penal institutions to turn
 out human products much the worsa for Incarceration, should close their.
 doors altogether to keep other unfor- tunates out.
 Recommends Municipal Farms.
 Telling of economies and benefits
 worked by the municipal farm at Kansas City, MT. Schreiber recom- -mended such institutions to other communities. He told how the pris- oners at the Kansas City farm had erected their own buildings and large ly provided their own equipm ent ansI reduced the net cost for each prisoner a day n only 24.7 cents. Every yea. this cost was being still further re- duced. The farm, he said, provided work of many kinds to the benefit nf the prisoners health and earning e pacity, and during the last few days of a prisoners stay on the farm his wage was increased to s1 per day and the sum earned was given to the men for their needs when liberated.
 The board of public welfare, which has charge Of the municipal farm. also allowed to every family dependant upon prisoners at the farm an amount Np to $1 a day
 Citizen Not Criminal.
 Pointing out evidences of the in justice to men who had been turned out of the work houses and peneten- tiaries without any improvement in their condition, he said Let us give a wage to the man who earns it and allow him to come out from the prison with clean, pressed clothes some money in his pocket and with the assistance of some organizations to get him started right, or with some place to go besides his old haunt" He said the inmate of the workhouse was to be considered a citizen, not a criminal. He needs help because he failed before and his success will depend upon the encouragement and assistance he will receive from those who know his weaknesses and how best to help him overcome them.''
 The argument that uniform wage in the workhouse might induce many men to enter, was inconsequential, he believed, but. granted there was such tendency 1t was still the duty of the community to care for it's unemployed and if there were those so unfortunate as to seek work in penal institution, they might properly apply for admit tance and be given proper keep and wages. This will take the place. he concluded. "of municipal lodging houses, bread lines and other agencies that now exist for the care of these

legal for a man to marry his widows

The vicar hesitated before vouchsaf-
ing reply, then very slowly expressed
it as his opinion that such q marriage
would be perfectly legal.
'That's satisfactory, sir, but would
it be possible for such a marriage to
actually take placer continued jerks,
