Witness H W Ellott Attacks North American Company
The Committee on Ways and Means held another session with Prof. H. W. Ellott on the Alaska fur seal question. Ellott denounced the North American Commercial Company, which has a government contract for seafaring, provoking the governor to call him the most insulting and contemptible witness before any hearings. Committee leaders urged him to conform to rules of argument. Ellott read two minutes of evidence from The Hague tribunal about the James Hamilton Lewis schooner seizure by Russia for piracy. The panel paused, planning to act on the Southard resolution for fur seal protection at a later date.
