|Alaska's Great Wealth
Of Seals

That Alaska's seals are not dimin-
ishing in number is attested by the
fact that only few days ago gov
ernment launch carrying large
crew of men arrived in Alaska and
proceeded to Pribiloff Islands in
Bering Sea where 10000 male seals
will be slaughtered "for the good Of
the order" And just here short
description of the sealing industry
in Alaska under government control
is opportune:
The surplus males can be selected
for slaughter. as are domestic ami
mails and the taking of thousands of
them each year can be safely done
without impairing in the slightest de-
gree the birth rate.
Under the old leasing system,
which lasted for 40 years until ter
minated by Congress in 1910. young
male seals to the number of
100000 were taken by the lesses,
who paid an annual rental and royal
ty on each skin. The skins were
salted and shipped to London and
there sold at public auction. After
being dressed and dyed by secret
process, 20 to 80 per cent of the
skins were imported into the United
States and made into garments for
the use of our people. But all this
is now ancient history. Gone is the
leasing system with its attendant OBJ
jectionable features; gone is the
shipping Of Alaska seal skins to Lon
don; gone are the dressing and dye
ing of such skins in London.
When the business history of
America is written, one of the most
noteworthy achievements recorded
Of the Goth century will be the part

Commerce. acting through and in
behalf Of the Bureau of Fisheries.
in upsetting the unbroken practice
of upward Of two generations and de-
creeing that Government-owned fur
seal skins should no longer be sent
abroad at increased expense and sold
for the benefit of foreign merchants,
but should be sold at home for the
immediate benefit of American mer-
chants and American trade. This
decision made at a time when the
fur market was in a depressed con-
dition, required strong administrative
convictions, and was not only jus
titled by the pecuniary results of the
initial sales, but has been more than
warranted by the impetus given to
the whole American fur trade. by
making America the great fur seal
market Of the world and by the es-
, tablishment in America of a plant
where raw seal skins may be dressed
and dyed, thus putting an end to COM
plete dependence on Europe which
Americans heretofore have had for
every prepared seal skin used in max
ing garments. The effects of this
new dispensation have been strik-
ingly exhibited in the past year, fol-
lowing the resumption of CONNER
cial sealing, by greatly increased
revenues to the Government. in

cost to the pubic of the most SER
viceable of all aquatic furs. A 1ogi-
cal outcome of all this would be the
adoption Of the Alaskan seal as the
national fur, a cunsummation that

Salvation Army Doing Re
construction Work
for Soldiers
Gives Treatment to Men Gass-
ed; Huts Built at
Camp Travis

Gassed soldiers returning from
France, who have been discharged
from the base hospitals as cured and
who are not yet strong enough to
resume their former occupations
will be cared for in the future by the
Salvation Army Lieut.. Col. George
Wood, in charge of Salvation Army
activities in the Southwest announc'
ed yesterday that the Salvation
Army hut at Camp Trevis will be
turned over to supply the immediate
needs of these gassed soldiers.
This hut, located outside Of the
camp, has twenty bedrooms. Com
mandant and Mrs. H. G. James, the
Salvation Army War Workers who
have had charge of the hut since il
was built to meet the recreatlonal
needs of the soldiers in Camp Trevis
will continue in charge.
"The need for special provision for
these boys is urgent" Col Wood
stated. They are daily coming into
the Dallas Red Shield Club-roon
which we maintain for the discharg-
ed soldiers. They have been dis
charged from the base hospitals
seemingly in fair condition. But or
attempts to resume civilian work
they discover that they are in no way
equal to it. They are forced to ap-
peal to the Government for disabili-
ty compensation, but this is hardly
adequate and their condition demands
care and special treatment.
Such gassed men need the same
kind Of treatment that is given to
Iconsumptives in the early or even
second stage Of tuberculosis, but TN.
der no circumstances should they be
sent to an institution for consumlp-
tives. They need rest, good food
freedom from financial care, some
light work and facilities for recrea-
ton and entertainment which will
not tax their strength. An institu-
ton planned, built and operated along
the same line as the better lnstitu'
tions for the care Of incipient tuber-
culosis cases would be ideal for their
treatment.
"Such an institution should be To-
Gated in a climate that is favorable
to the treatment of consumptives
The san Antonio territory will be
good for many reasons. The eleva-
tion is not too high and the men will
be nearer large city to which they
can go from time to time for diver
sion"
If the Salvation Army finds that
more soldiers need the treatment
than can be accommodated in the
Camp Trevis hut, it is planned tc
provide an institution for this pur-
pose on the outskirts Of San An
tonic. This institution will be built
on the cottage plan, each cottage
large enough for two or three cases
"A central administration building
will contain the kitchens, dining
rooms etc.

DEER SEASON IS
IN FINAL STAGE
Franklin County Sportsmen
Threaten to Work For
Ban on Hunting

Chambersburg, Pa, Dec. 13.-
The deer hunting season is draw
ing to a close and the slaughter of
does, fawns and half tame stays
nears the finish. Each morning
trolley cars to Caledonia take out
more than a load of men with
rifles bound for the mountains.
Twice as many deer hunters have
been out this year than last season,
due mainly to the returned SOL
diers, who have learned the use of
the rifle in their service. The local
industries are pressed with orders
and have pleaded with their men
to work every available hour but
that seems to have no effect on the
men who have been stung with the
hunting bee, for hundreds of them
have been taking the Is days off
for deer stalking. Pheasants, part
ridges and wild turkeys are being
shot in the mountains despite the
fact that their open season is over.
which fact coupled with the killing
of does and fawns may bring about
the enactment of a closed deer
season in Franklin county next
year. Many sportsmen have
threatened to work for If

GIVES EVIDENCE
AGAINST FATHER
Minister'S Daughter Testifies
Physician Earned $7,166
! >n For Saving Her Life

Middlcburg, Pa. Dec. 13.-Miss
yerna. daughter of the Rev. A. S.
Bierly, was the chief witness for
DIR. E, C. williams in court here yes
terday, in the physician's suit against
her father for $7.166, with interest
for attending her during the period
she is said to have suffered with
Bright's disease.
Miss Bierly, now young woman
of 23, was easily the center OF IN
terest in the crowded court room.
She is a decided blonde in type and
was fashionably dressed. 1t was
the opinion of court attendants that
she made a better witness for DR..
williams than he did for himself.
She said, when questioned, that
she did not think the fees charged
her father by DR.. Williams were eX-
cessive. These totalled $7,166 and
covered portions of 1911, 1912 and
1913.
She said that she had been very
i'll, and under the treatment of Or.
williams her life had been saved.
Her father told the physician TO
save her life, no matter what the
pressed himself as grateful for her
recovery.
DIR. williams had testified that
Miss Bierly. was brought to the
sanitarium he conducts at Port Trev-
orton suffering with Brights disease,
and that she had been cured.
Miss Bierly has been living at the
williams residence. She first went
there in 1911, girl of Is years, as
his patient, DR. Williams and his
wife are divorced. Miss Bierly tes-
titled against her father in former
suit with the physician about two
years ago.
The cost of the case is estimated
at $1,000 a day. In addition to the
numerous lawyers, there are 144
witnesses said to have been sum-
moned, and two handwriting experts
at 5000 a day.
One of these is Webster Amescher,
of Philadelphia, the expert in the
famous Lieb case at Philadelphia
last week. The other is L. c. Hor-
ton, of New York. The two are
leaders in their profession. They
will testify regarding the writing on
checks, which the pastor contends
proves he made payment in full.
Dr. Williams comes of a noted
family. His father was a member
IF the Italian nobility. His grand
tather on his mothers side, was a
general in the American army, dur
ing the war with Mexico, and had
the distinction of raising the Ameri-
can flag over Mexico City.

SHOOTS pal WHO
SOUGHT REVENGE
Crook Lures Man Who Testi-
fled Against Him, But
Plan Fails

GliZabethtOwn, Pa, Dec. 13. -
Four years ago James Dugan and
William Wallace Irons were arrest
ed by Constable William d. Plum
mer, of this place. They had as
saulted a motorman after being put
off a car. The constable was seri-
ously stabbed and at the trial of the
case at Lancaster Irons testified it
was Dugan who slashed the officer.
Dugan was sentenced to q year in
prison. Irons went free.
Late Thursday night Irons, a Grip
pied beggar, walked into the detect
i've bureau in the Philadelphia City
Hall; threw a revolver on the desk
and said:
II just shot man on Marshall
street and came here to surrender"
Detectives who went to the Mar
shall street address found Dugan
lying unconscious on the floor with
blood gushing from a pistol wound
near the heart. He revived sufficient
ly to identify Irons as the person
who had done the shooting.
According to Irons story, he has
resided in Philadelphia ever since
the Rheems' affair. He never saw
Dugan since the latter's release until
they met while both were begging
among the Christmas shoppers on
Market street. Irons claims Dugan
invited him to take motor car ride,
which ended at Z o'clock at the Mar
shall street house.
Dugan, angered at his compan-
ions refusal to take a drink Of
brandy, drew a revolver and fired,
saying:
Il am going to kill you I brought
you here to make up for bygones."
Irons claims that in the ensuing
struggle he got the revolver from
his assailant and fired twice, one bull
let entering Dugan's body near the
heart and the other grazing his leg.
He then surrendered.
When Magistrate Yates went to
Hahnemann Hospital to get Dugan's
antemortem statement he placed a
Bible in the dying mans hands.
With an oath Dugan hurled the book
across the room.
Il. am not going to die," he said.
Il am going to get well and kill
Irons"
A few minutes later Irons was
brought into the accident ward by
Detective Beckman, of the City Hall
squad. At first Dugan refused to
say that he was the man who did
the shotoing. Later when told that
Irons had confessed he admitted that
he was his assailant, but begged the
police to let him off. Don't put him
in Jail" he walled. Leave him to
me. Ill get even with him."
