At the same time it was made known the seizure of the British registered schooner Tomcaka off the New Jersey coast on Sunday was the first definite move in this campaign. The Tomcaka seizure was effected as the result of direct and specific orders from Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury McKenzie Moss, chairman of the American commission appointed to negotiate a treaty with Canada on rum summglgling, left for Ottawa today with other numbers of the commission. The complete outline of the American proposals for a treaty, announced by Chairman Moss, were as follows: Pursuing information to the United States by Canada concerning clearance of ships with liquor cargoes on board. An order in council preventing clearance of ships destined for ports in the United States with liquor cargoes: 1. Refusal of clearance of ships with cargoes of liquor. 2. Search and seizure of ships engaged in smuggling on the Great Dakes. 3. Application of vessels to proceed at ports for which they clear. 4. A treaty providing for conveyance of prisoners thru territory when accused of violation of liquor laws." WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—Belief anno officials that the British registered rum schooner Tomcaka, seized off the New Jersey coast Sunday by U.S. customs officers, was American-owned, accounted for the apparent disregard of the principle of the three mile limit; it was learned today. Altho complications with Great Britain are regarded as possible because the vessel is of British registry and was flying the British flag, the state department is taking no steps in the case ponding the arraignment of William McCry, the alleged "King of the Kum Runners." McCory is an American. The death of Jurgen C. 86, occurred at the far North Resh-st., about yesterday.

In the United States instruction of the deaf started in 1817 when Thomas Gallaudette an Episcopal clergyman moved to play the defender of a neighbor's child, finally opened the American school for the Deaf at Hartford, N.A. This was after he had been trained a teacher by D'Elospee. In the combined method speaking and lip reading are tried first, if it doesn't work the sign method then is taught. Jensen illustrated the sign method, showing the signs that are equivalent of many common words. Grammatical order is ignored in the sign language and are superfluous words. Sometimes a whole phrase or thought can be indicated by practically one sign instead of many, and spelling often not reported to except to indicate distinction of meaning for particular significations. The single hand system is the one now employed almost exclusively. While certain signs are logical, others reveal no particular reason for their use.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—The firing upon and seizing of the British rum schooner Tomako by American customs agents six miles off the Jersey shore may bring awkward complications with Great Britain, it was admitted by officials today. The 12 mile limit treaty between the American and British governments is not yet completed and correctly the three mile limit law is still operative. Unless the American customs agents can prove definitely the Tomako had direct communication with the American shore, the government is open to a protest and a bill of damages from the British owners. The Tomako incident comes at a time when the 12 mile limit treaty negotiations are understood to be in their final stage. Announcement has been made in London several times that the draft of the proposed treaty has been submitted to the state department, but each time the department has denied it. Secretary of State Hughes has chosen to throw a curious mantle of secrecy about the negotiations.

Mr. Seeman was born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, July 16, 1837, but has lived 70 years in the United States, 42 of which have been passed in Anaheim, where he has seen the little settlement grow into a thriving city. Several years ago Mr. Seeman lost his sight, but was happy in his ability to get about town with the aid of his cane as a guide. His cheery disposition was much admired by his large circle of young friends as well as those of advanced years.

NARROW ESCAPE IN MOTOR CRASH Another of those "miraculous" escapes in an auto accident took place about 1:30 p.m. today when a Dodge touring and Chevrolet coupe crashed together at Adele and N. Los Angeles sts. Nobody was hurt, but part of the steering gear of the Dodge was bent and bumper knocked off, and Development in the Standard-Murphy oilfield may soon be revived if success attends a deep-test well that has been the object of interest in that field for some time. This well is now at a depth of 5000 feet and there is a strong gas pressure, and there was almost a gusher there, it is believed, the other day, when water and mud gushed forth at a rate of some 800 barrels a day. The Standard-Murphy closed down work in that field when all of the men available were needed in the Santa Fe Springs field, and there has been no sign of life at Standard-Murphy for months, except on the deep-test well referred to, and at the tanks where storing capacity for oil from the Springs has been built until the company now has 16 55,000-barrel tanks and 12 of 80,000-barrel capacity. These tanks take the overflow that cannot be absorbed at El Segundo. They are now all filled with high gravity oil. None of the eighty odd producing wells at the Standard-Murphy exceed a depth of 4000 feet, and the average daily production of these wells is about 200 barrels each of heavy oil. It is believed by geologists that there is a light oil at a greater depth and the Standard is going after it. Should the test well No. 99, which is surrounded by producing wells, prove a success, the company is prepared to at once erect a dozen rigs and also to deepen all of the old wells. Activity will at once be restored at the old stamping ground that has a warm spot in the hearts of many Standard oil workers.

Monahan will be held, authorities say, pending the outcome of the coroner's inquest.
