The photograph was that of a

that carnivorous marine animals like the fur seals would feed upor fish, and as the salmon is the bes known of the Pacific Coast fishes it might be assumed that they con stitute the chief food supply of ful seals. Careful investigation of the 1 matter, however, does not substan tiate an assumption of this kind Secondly, the hair seal is a hearty feeder upon salmon It's habitat is distinctly different from that of the fur seal, as the hair seal is we'll known animal in all the inshore coastal waters of the North Pacific It's habits are therefore easy of ob servation and are quite we'll known as, for example, on the Copper River flats and in the vicinity of the Sti- kine, Taku and Chilkat rivers they are abundant and are frequently seen both eating and wantonly kill ing salmon. Undoubtedly in consid- ering the feeding habits of seals, careful distinction has not always been made between fur seals and hair seals, with the result that the salmon-eating habits of the hair seals have been attributed without warrant to seals" in general
 Cites Scientists Reports.
 ''Let us now turn to the reports of scientific investigators who have made this subject of special study.
 "Dr. Frederick A. Lucas, of the American Museum of Natural His tory, who prepared a special report on the Food of the Northern Fur Seals states that surface fishes, and especially sQuid, seem the natural food of the fur seal Tn food of the seal undoubtedly varies in diff ferent localities, depending upon the abundance of the species. In Der ing Sea, near the Aleutian Islands, and in the Gulf of Alaska, sQuid, pollock, and seal fish were the chief items found in the stomachs of the seals examined. Out of 273 seals examined in Boring sea only IS had eaten any salmon.
 Dr. Davis Starr Jordan and Mr. George A. Clark, in 1896, wrote as follows:
 "'The views here expressed that "the favorite haunts" of the seals 'are the shores of British Columbia and lower Alaska" and that "the fish upon which they live are more abundant in shallow than in deep water" are derived from a misap- prehension of the habits of the ami mals. That some of the seals come into the bays and inlets of still water off the British Columbian and coasts is doubtless true, and

SALMON IS NOT
 USED BY SEALS
 FOR FOOD, CLAIM
BUREAU OF FISHERIES TAKES - ISSUE WITH VIEW THAT
 SEALS DESTROY SALMON

Fur seals are not unduly destruc- tive of Alaska salmon and the loss of salmon through alleged seal de predations on the runs are not a material factor in salmon conserva- tion, in the opinion of the Bureau of Fisheries. The view of the Blu reau is set forth in a statement pre- pared by Lewis Radcliffe, Acting Commissioner of Fisheries, of Wash ington, which has just been received by the Gateway.
 the press report of a statement re- gently made by Senator c. c Dill, of Washington to the Gateway while in Seward, in which the latter as serted that salmon consumed by fur seals as food annually amount dto 100000,000 tons and was an important factor in depicting the fish resources of the Territory.
 Not We'll Founded.
 The statement of Mr. Radcliffe follows in full
 "The press statement that the AL aska fur seals consume one million tons of salmon annually cannot be substantiated In fact students of these animals find only meager evi- Innnn nf hn 0f by them. The Saranna River, the most important salmon stream on Berling Island, lies within 7 miles of the largest seal rookery of the Russian fur-seal herd. This stream has sustained a fishery of from 20,- 900 to 100000 salmon. No seaIs have been observed feeding on these runs, and there is no indication Of the destruction of this fishery by seals, as the run of fish still con- tinues. Fur seals feel largely at the surface; for much of the year they are far out at sea, out of range of the salmon. Even when the fur seals are in waters inhabited by salmon, it appears oo;y as an oc- casional item of diet
 Belief that the PribiloG Islands fur seals feed upon salmon has prob ably had its inception in two ways. First, it is only natural to assume

LIQUOR ODOR MADE
DRY LAW EVIDENCE
Buyer, Seller Equally Guilty
by indiana Measure
Now in Force.
BY the Associated Press.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April So
Armed with added authority contain
ed in a bone dry" law passed by the
1925 Legislature. Federal and local
officials believe Indiana now can be
made extra dry. The new law became
effective Tuesday.
The bone dry" law is a codifica-
ton of many old laws relating to pro-
hibition enforcement, but penalties
provided in former laws are increased
and enforcement officers given more
latitude in making arrests and In pre-
senting testimony.
One of the principal features is that
the purchaser of liquor is held equally
as guilty as the vendor. Imprison-
ment of 80 days to 6 months and a
fine of from 500 to $500 may be i'm
posed upon a person who purchases
Intoxicating liquor. The same penal
ties may be inflicted for possession of
Intoxicating liquor or for carrying
liquor on the person. The selling or
giving away of liquor also merits the
same penalties.
Smell Is Evidence.
The work of enforcement agents is
facilitated by the provision that the
smell of liquor may be used as prima
blind tiger. Heretofore it has been
necessary to produce fluid liquor as
evidence and agents say this has been
difficult because the law violators in
many instances have been able to de-
stroy the intoxicants.
Authority is given conductors on
common carriers and persons in
charge of public places to arrest any
one seen violating the dry law.
