SEEK 0 FORBID HILLING OF SEALS Treaty Under Way to Preserve Sea Mammals Ban Kranclsco, Nov, 7.—(By the As- soclated Press)--Fifty years ago a “lime-julcer,” as the big square-rigged salling vessel of that time was called, would have to shorten sall and steer a careful course along the South Pa- cific coast at certain seasons if it wanted to avold destructive collisions with the California grayback whale, And If the skipper trained his glass along the coast line, he probably would see every exposed rock or sea- ward shoal black with elephant and fur seals. Closer in he would note great tortoises and sea turtles, while above would wheel the Heermann gull, Such an orgy of destruction has been loosed on these sea creatures, some of them termed by sclentists to be “the biggest antmals in the world," In the last half century, that there is a campaign on today to have the state " NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1922, Two Great Wizards Meet o department negotiate treaties with all countries bordering on the Pacific to prevent their absolute extermination. Meat Was FEatable One of the great mammals, Steller's sea cow, already has joined the Great Auk, the Dodo and other storied crea- tures of a dead age. In 1741, when the exploring ship of Captain Vitus Bering was wrecked on the island that bears his name, the great, sluggish sea cows were found floundering about by Dr. George William Setller, doctor of the expedition. Large herds later were seen feeding on the kelp and seaweed ‘around the nearby Commander {slands and it soon was found that their meat made an excellent human food. When the news of the discovery of Bering Island was made known to the world several expenditions were fitted out to hunt the sea cow. How well they succeeded is attested in the fact that by 1754, only 13 years after its discovery, this great animal, 24 to 30 feet long and weighing three or four tons when fully grown, disappeared from the ocean. Moved by the near- ness of a similar fate for the walrus, the elephant seal, the sea otter and the southern whales, the committee on Conservation of Marine Life of the Pacific, a part of the American Asso- clation for the advancement of science has started the campaign to have the state department act. One hundred years ago, the com- mittee points out, a species of fur seal had extensive breeding rockeries on the Farallon Islands and other {slands on the coast line of California and Mexico. More than 200,000 of these seal were killed in the short period between 1808 and 1811 on the Farallons alone, while thousands of others were added to the slaughter on the channel islands to the southward. This campaign virtually exterminated this species of seal. Object to Killing , Further objections to the wholesale extermination of whales have been raised by the sardine fishermen of Monterey Bay, California, who claim that the whales herd the sardines ii- shore, Récently the examination of the stomach of a humpback whale brought into the Moss Landing whal- ing station in Monterey Bay vielded from 1500 to 3,000 pounds of sardines. In the stomach of a sperm whale was found a ten foot shark. Due to the failure of the TUnited States and Great Britain to include Japan in the treaty of 1892 forbidding the killing of seals in the open sea, the Alaska fur seal herd was decreased by nearly 300,000 from 1897 to 1911; according to a scientific date. A new s . Thomas A. Edison and Charles P. Steinmetz the world’s two greatest electrical geniuses, talk things over at the plant of the General Electric company, Schenectady, N. Y. Steinmetz is show- ing Edison a piece of wood he shattered from a tree with his light- ning-making device, fur seal treaty was negotiated in 1011, the participating countries being the United States, Great Britain, Russia and Japan. Since the time that treaty was made the herd has increased by nearly 400,000, So great has the in- crease been that there is a suspicion that pelagio or ocean sealing is again going on against the strict ruling of the guardian nations. It is pointed out that any nation not signatory to the treaty may engage in this sort of seal- ing among the Alaska herd, and ex- terminate it in time if new treaties are not drawn up. Under the treaty of 1311 the In- dians of California, Oregon, Washing- ton, British Columbia, and abopigines of Japan and Russia are permitted to hunt both along the coast lines and in the ocean, and it is proposed to regulate this also. MEXICO WANTS INVITE Country Wonld Like to Attend Pan- American Congress \Which Will Take Place Next March. Mexico City. Nov. 7.—-Participation. of Mexico in the Pan-American con- gress in Santiago, Chile, next March, which is still in doubt, has given rise to much additional comment here, the consensus of opinion being that if Mexico is not invited to the confer- ence she will lend herself readily to a Pan-American league of nations as recently suggested by President Brum, of Uruguay. There {s in the editorials an under. current of pique #hd hurt pride, how- ever, that Mexican participation f{s even in question, El Universal recent- 1y stated that *if Mexico is not pres- ent at Santiago, the congress will not have full significance and will serve to create a feud between Spanish- America and ‘Washington.”” The news- paper says it belleves the Latin coun- tries will eventually demand that Mexico be admitted as an equal.
