"The use of a naval uniform by the local police who are not mem bers of the Naval Reserve or any other unauthorized persons in the manner employed by Lang is not only contrary to statute law but is highly objectionable to the Navy Department.
 Had Lang not been discharged from the Naval Reserve he would have been courtmartialed on a charge of misusing the naval garb Conviction would have meant dis honorable discharge with a sen tence of imprisonment. Adams is out of town but it was said he did not feel the offense was serious enough to warrant court-martial
 Director Lemuel B. Schofield of the Department of Public Safety of Philadelphia said the action of the Navy Department in dismissing a Philadelphia policeman from the Naval Reserve because he wore a naval uniform in doing police duty, was to his mind small potatoes on the part of the United States Navy"

The take of seal skins by the United States Bureau of Fisher les on Pribiiof Islands this sum- mer aggregated 49,515, the greatest number in any season since the Government took over the herds in 1910, it was announced here to- day by Henry OMalley, Unite d States Commissioner of Fisheries.

 The Labor President based his statement on survey made in 1894 cities.
 Chairman Payne said there is no reason for the Government to be called on for aid as states, coun- ties and cities must be responsible for caring for the jobless.

RUCC GREATLY IMP PRESSED BY
 ALASKAN TRIP
Finds Great Conservation Work in the Rebuilding
 of Seal Herds

Although I read Jack Under woods Empire in the Making, and Mrs. Davis's Uncle Sam's Attic, I was not prepared for the real won der of Alaska said Charles Rugg, Assistant United States Attorney General, in giving his impressions of Alaska to the Chamber of Con- merce today. He has Just com pleted voyage from Dixon En- trance to Pribilof Islands and back to Juneau and is here awaiting the arrival of Mrs. Rugg who is pas senger aboard the steamer Prince George arriving tonight.
 MT. Rugg was deeply interested in the seal herds on the Pribilofs, their rehabilitation and the great industry that has been built up on them by the Federal Govern ment. The animals now number in excess of 100000 and their numbers henceforth, he said will mount in geometrical progression.
 Boosts Canned Salmon
 MT. Rugg found his appetite for canned salmon whetted by visits to salmon canneries From now on, the canned variety is going to replace the frozen product in the Rugg household in Washington, D. 0.
 He saw every method of salmon fishing, from beach seines which are not much different from those used in the Sea of Galilee 2,00O years ago to the modern fish trap. He was through the worlds great est fishery, the Bristol Bay red salmon region and also visited Ko- diak and Cook Inlet districts.
 Saving Seal Herds
 Probably one of the most not able accomplishments of the Gov ernment in conservation of animal life is the saving of the seal herds which, facing extinction from pe- lagic sealing, were taken over by the United States in 1910 under treaty agreements with Great Brit ain, Russia and Japan. In the 20 years that have elapsed, the herds have been restored to enor- nous size, the government has built

 General DeSaussure said he thought he saw in the proposed celebration "an effort to discount or offset the recently developed emergency of a true portrait of MT Lincoln which is not at all to his credit and which denies to him the godlike nature and qualities with which interested persons have dei- fled him"
 He referred to an analysis by Dr A. A Brill, New York psychiatrist who described Lincoln as a schizoid personality with a fondness foI suggestive stories,
