81 JOHNS N f, Feb. I--unless
some plan can be devised within d
month whereby tho skins and oil OF
the hair seal can be utilized by the
British government FOR war supple,
there Is strong possibility that tho
seal hunt an important factor in tho
commerce OF Newfoundland Tor
many years will be abandoned for
the coming season.
Because Of Industrial depression
and the war none OF last years catch
Of 233,OO has been disposed OF and
about half ~ the great catch OF
a72.OOO skins in 1918 romans In the
hands Of brokers In London and New
York. Tho war has prevented tho
transport of seal oil to Germany for
morly one OF tho principal markets.
Some time ago negotiations we're
started which It was hoped would
result In an arrangement for the
British government to take over the
entire catch for tho coming spring
for use In making winter garments
for soldiers Word has been re-
ceived, however. that the manufac.
turers Of army clothing find the ma
terlal unsuitable and that no prac-

SAYS PROFESSOR

slty Expresses Doubt Whether
Great Foundations Constitutional.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-GeOrge w
kirchwcy, professor OF law at Colum-
lila University tcstifylng today before
the commission on Industrial relations
expressed doubt that the charters nf
the Carnegie and Rockefeller founda-
tiOns were constitutional, as they fail
cd to define the scope and purpose Of
the Institutions
The Rockefeller foundation could do
anything, he said from distributing
Ia party platform to attacking
church
MIR. Lawson read extracts OF the
finding Of military court which sat
In Colorado after the fight between
state troops and striking miners He
declared that the tents Ht Ludlow
were fired by the militlamen who, he
said, went among them and stole
everything they could find jewelry,
money aud other articles Of value.

lie based this belief on the fact
that the charter failed TO define the
scope Of its purpose and power. Any

ton I've said also included the Car

The charter Of the Rockefeller foun

Dr KirSChwey said he considered
the good the foundation might do for
