WHALE DYING OUT
X
Fear the Extinction of Species
Through Reckless Waste.
Board of Agriculture and Fisheries Is
sues Report Warning Against the
Consequences of Excessive Hunt
ing in Northern Waters,
Washington. Danger of tho total
extinction of the whale through "over
fishing" is dealt with in the thirteenth
annual rtport on fisheries, Issued by
tho board of agriculturo and fisher
ies. It is unquestionable, says tho re
port, that in tho case of a slow-growing
and slow-producing animal like
tho whale, although, owing to its wide
range, it will probably never bo ab
solutely exterminated, excessive
hunting speedily icuilts in a very
marked uepluilon of the stuctc.
The practical extinction of tho
Basque and Ureouland whulo usherieb
has abundantly proved this. It must
bo remembered, too, that this result
was brought about by means of the
open and band harpoon mothods
which aro now obsolete.
The Greenland whalo was a com
paratively sluggish and timid ani
mal, whoso capture by tho method re
ferred to presented little dlfiiculty,
whereas the rorquals and other spe
cies were not only too swift, but too
dangerous to be attacked in the samo
manner as tho "right" whale.
With tho introduction, howovor, of
tho harpoon with explosive shell, dis
charged from a cannon mounted in
tho bows of a steamer, the conditions
were entirely changed,' and tho spe
cies formerly immune from attack
could now be hunted with impunity.
Tho result of this revolution In tho
conditions under which the llshing
could bo prosecuted is seen in tho
onormous dimensions which the in
dustry has attained at tho present
day.
It i3 estimated that in 1911 bo
tween 19,000 and 20,000 whales were
captured In tho southern hemisphere
alone (South Georgia, South Shetland,
South America, South Africa), to
which has to bo added the catch In
North America, Japan, Faroe, Iceland,
Spltzbergen and Greenland, and these
Ugures will probably bo greatly ex
ceeded in 1912, as numerous new com
panies have been formed to exploit
Alaskan, Australasian nnd Sandwich
island waters.
This wholesale destruction must In
evitably' tell its tale within a few
years, nnd, as a matter of fact, in New
foundland and Iceland fears aro al
ready entertained that the fishing Is
on tho decline.
It would not, thercforo, bo a mat-
ter for surprise if, within a few years,
Woman Saves Her Money Because

Kansas City. Mo. Being ticklish
saved Mrs. Francis Justlno from los
ing her purse to robbers and a meet
ing that might have been terrifying
turned into an amusing affair. Sho

with them to tho shadow of a waro
bouso. "Wo want money, Hint's all," they
said. "So throw up your hands."
Sho obeyed and informed them that
her purse was tucked in tho top of bor
corset under her arm. Ono of the
mon toro open her waist and thrust in
a hand. It came out in a hurry to
clap over the woman's mouth, as sho
screamed "Don't!"
"I didn't mean to cry out that way,"
Bho laughed, as the hand dropped and
gave her a chance to speak, "but I'm

States, 'with varying but over grow
ing success, for 100 years."
Dcsiro for fortuno nnd "easy" living
on tho part of the dealers, and tho sus
ceptibility of young girls to fraud and
deceit, are tho onuses, directly, for tho
startling growth of tho traffic In tho
United States, Mr. Finch said,
"Ono million dollars will suppress
tho traffic, and for $250,000 a year it
can bo kept suppressed," said Mr.
Finch.
Mr. Finch began Ills real campaign
for suppression of white slavery laBt
May, and the system ho has perfected
has been installed in Maryland, Vir
ginia, District of Columbia, North Car
olina, South Carolina, Ohio, West Vir
ginia, Tennessee and Kentucky. It will
bo worked in all tho stalos of thef
Union by May 1 noxt If tho monoy
holds out.
The system provides for nt lenst ono
local officer of the department of Jus
tice in every city in tho United States.
Tho work of thoso officers Is to keep
track of tho Inmates of every ques
tionable house, know who are tho pa
trons of tho cafes, and take cognlzanco
of all tho suspicious nnd now charac
ters who came Into their districts.
"Whlto slavo traffic Is being rapidly
suppressed," declared Mr. Finch, "and
once It is suppressed, It will cost only
a comparatively smnll amount to keep
It down. What is $200,000 or$300,000
a year if you know your homes aro
protected from those monsters?"
Efforts are being mado to havo uni
form "slavo" laws enacted In all tho
states, and with this law more crim
inals will bo apprehended.

ho decided that tho marrlago of tho
200 young Armenians of good stand

of taking care of these llory young
